Hmm it appears on the passenger side you are pulling coolant from the return coolant line to the radiator. Not sure if it really makes a difference but wouldn't you want to pull the cooler water from the radiator feed side?

Cheers Amy -

 

the coolant is going to still be way cooler than the turbo temps - as you stated, it doesn't make any difference...

 

Yeah I figured as much. The bearing section is going to be in the 400-500 or more range and even hot coolant will be in the 205-215 range. If you don't mind me asking where is the coolant return plumbed in?

 

Nice!

 

What up Philthy?

Hope you are well.

Doing well - happy thanksgiving...

Woke up early this morning and we got the motor/trans back into the car... Hopefully we'll finish up this weekend and start getting some miles on the car...

Here's a pic of the coolant returns...

 

Thanks philthy any more pics?

 

I have a ton of pics, let me know if you want to see something specific -

Here are some of the custom ACPT carbon fiber driveshaft and the 3" exhaust...

Great pics philth...anymore of coolant line routing for the turbos

 

beautiful setup, nice job!, when is the startup date?

 

Is the passenger side exhaust piping touching the driveshaft or is it just a really tight fit? Do you know how much the driveshaft weighs? Everything looks great.

 

Here you go - do you have a coolant fetish...? j/k

There's probably a couple days work left before we get it started - and no, the exhaust doesn't touch the drive shaft... It's looks a lot closer in the pics than it actually is... The carbon drive shaft weights around 18 pounds - the stock one was around 40 pounds...

 

Phil, is that driveshift still an expensive one-off piece, or does that company have plans to make more. What a huge improvement over the stock G35 driveshaft.

 

I'm sure ACPT will be more than happy to make some more of them and I'm guessing they'll run around $1200 now that all the R&D has been completed... The weight reductions are significant, it's a single shaft vs the two piece stock unit and it offers some MAJOR safety benefits along with performance gains... I had a metal drive shaft failure at the track back in the day - it launch the car in the air and took me for a wild ride -flipped five times before smashing into the wall... I was lucky that I didn't get seriously hurt...

Here's a pic of the G35 Coupe stock unit for reference... The exhaust in the pic is the Borla - I still have it and the Borla headers if anyone is interested - PM me...

Brembo brake upgrades....

 

LOL not a coolant fetish just interested in seeing how others run their coolant lines. Thanks for the pics!!

 

very nice...looks like a stout setup...be careful- gonna have a lot of ponies

 

No APS 3.5in down pipes? Looks like they will bolt up to those turbos
