This is what my car sounds like in the cabin, just dumping from the downpipe:

simpleNclean

what are you not sure about? running a open dp?

to be honest sounds like they just want to hit you for the big pay day.
Is the setup you posted better, yes but it cost more too.

All the setups I made were for street cars wanting to retain ac, stock mounts, fans, rad, abs, battery and etc. Sounds like you are building a race car and don't care. I would suggest shortie headers or ported 4gen since they retain heat better and make a setup like Hal or similar with the turbo where the ac compressor sits and run the dp out the fender. Short sweet and to the point

or maybe even 350z tubular headers with a custom crossover pipe and modded motor mounts.

GOOD LORD....can you hear yourself THINK in that thing???

t6378tp

iTrader: (69)

was that the turbo spooling, if so how much boost can you make by rev in neutral

What is this SLOW you speak of?


My advice from experience is use rwd vq35 headers.

OR! You can do a rear mount setup =). if your so interested in having equal feeds then put on equal length headers, 2.5" catback into the turbo, then 2.5" charge pipe from turbo to IC then 3" into engine. And also have open exhaust (3-4" pipe from turbo to tip).

Its going to be LOUD, like ignorant levels of noise. Its cool for about 2-3 days but after that you are gonna want an exhuast on it. Unless you plan to put resonators on it before it exits the fender.

My boy had a DA teggy, that had a built motor running E85 and he had his dumptube from his wastegate exiting from the bumper, so it was loud in boost but then just driving around it sounded like a normal car which worked really well, here is a pic of it actually:



It doesnt even pull itself out of the negative numbers, Its a T4 with .81 A/R.

I've never tried just slow revving to build boost to see how much it will build at a certain RPM.

I was going to do a rear mount setup, because the shop said it would actually be cheaper and easier to do, but to me that ruins that "wow" affect when you open the hood and see the turbo there......that just me though.

t6378tp

iTrader: (69)

oh ok, just wondering cause I mine would start to spool up but couldn't get pass zero but my buddy with a 2step said he could get 2-3psi at 5500rpms on a t60 with a .68 t4 exhaust p-trim housing

t6378tp

iTrader: (69)

that's why I put the turbo inlet facing the rear of the headlight so when I pop it out at the track you can see it.

I am going to cut a hole in the headlight and run a funnel directly into the turbo like the honda guys if I keep the kit

t6378tp

lol, he'll still need a equal length y-pipe

Looking forward to build

Sounds good a little rough on the ears

simpleNclean

well i have no ac, i want to keep the stock mounts, my fans are relocated to the front of the radiator, i have no abs, my battery is in the trunk.........i wouldnt say race car as of yet....if i can get this car running properly 500whp ill take into consideration gutting the gar and caging it


MORE info on this 4th gen shorty header and 350z headers...........i cant picture the 350z setup

you built hal's setup?

simpleNclean

my setup needs to be low friendly,...........i really dont care about the exhaust ill run a open downpipe

or something like this, which i think is ****ing awesome lol

streetzlegend

iTrader: (8)

I wouldn't recommend that, a buddy of mine has a 600hp civic with exhaust identical to that, when you see flames shooting out the front of ur hood while looking at the track/road lol I dont think that's very safe, then lil drops of oil/fuel w/e. Id put it out the finder or something.

My setup:





I cant find a good picture of the front manifold, but its the 350Z,s manifold essentially flipped upside down and sends the exhast to the rear of the motor overtop of the transmission. If your car does not have ABS you are in luck because it will fit without having to deal with this:




For your requirements and your fit and finish you might want to use some aftermarket shorty headers from the Z as they will look better and you can wrap them or what have you, myself im not really going for a nice looking engine bay so my exhaust wrap is very thick and ugly, but i can leave the car idling or what have you and any part on my exhuast is cool to the touch.

Crusher103

iTrader: (10)

If you go with the Z manifold route, it will be very low friendly, I have absoultely no low hanging pipes my DP is in the stock y-pipe location BUT that manifold has to be wrapped or ceramic coated to protect sensors under your hood from its heat. Also your radiator fans have to be relocated or pick up some slim fans.

one of the flaws on my system is the location of the wastegate, it should be moved to the other side of the manifold or underneath so it doesnt block the valve cover breather tube.

simpleNclean

who built you that setup and how much did it cost? did you any problems running the dp like that? it looks like when you put the dp it will be a tight fit.......and im pretty sure the 4at is more bigger

you have been talking to the builder of the kit the whole time:

But the only problems i have had have been, the ABS(which you dont have), Radiator fans, and the location of the wastegate, you can talk to t6378tp about it he is very easy to work with as im sure you know and he can find ways around these issues. Like as far as fans are concerned im sure if oval piping is used you can claw back a extra inch or 2 so you can use stock fans. Also the wastegate just needs to be moved to the other side of the manifold or below and you will be problem free running the exact same setup that i have. i forget how much i paid for it exactly but it wasnt very expensive something in the neighborhood of $600.

simpleNclean

you or t6378tp, im confused as shyt lol


just seen what you wrote.......so i can fit the 350z ebay headers without having to chop them up?

i forgot to mention that ive relocated my stock fans to the front of the radiator like then honda boys do on there tucks so fans are out the way

t6378tp

iTrader: (69)

we already spoke about this but you have a few options

send it to me with the wg and I'll mod it or have it extended like I did



or get on of these or something close to it

now this is just silly, no way can you drive a street car with a exhaust sticking out the hood.

This thread it starting to go downhill fast

Crusher103

iTrader: (10)

i already worked around the issues, so its fine the way it is, i havent driven the car for a long distance to see if the heat from the wastegate will effect anything but if it does i will give you a shout. So far its all been good.

dont jump into buying those yet. There is no guarantee they will work as is they have to be modified.

t6378tp

iTrader: (69)

ok just let me know

t6378tp

iTrader: (69)

yeah to use the 350z headers you need to cut the flanges off flip and reweld them

here are some pic's of the Hal Kit

simpleNclean

at the end of the day bro its my car and ill have it the way i want, ill have to deal with the criticism im already use to that...........even if no one looks at the thread or dont care ill still post what im doing.

and we obviously have WAY different styles

t6378tp

iTrader: (69)

this setup would start spooling a hx35 at 1800rpms on a 3.0

t6378tp

iTrader: (69)

right it's your car but a exhaust out the hood is flat out illegal and you'll be getting pulled over by the police like everyday

simpleNclean

i really like hal's setup....what kind of headers did he use

simpleNclean

it is illegal true, but i just said it was awesome thats all.......and the the most fact i believe thats a v-band and they just do it for show........i really woudnt drive like that lol

t6378tp

iTrader: (69)

you could run stock or shortie

t6378tp

iTrader: (69)

oh ok thought you really wanted to drive around like that

t6378tp

iTrader: (69)

wait till you see my track car, I am going to put the turbo in the bumper like this and it will connect directly to air to water intercooler with a single coupler. But the turbo will be on the passenger side. Oh and a fender exhaust
