Got my intake pipe completed and started fabrication of the waste gate piping, have to order one more stainless 1.75" bend and a blow off valve and the hardware of the turbo setup will be complete. I know I am slow moving sorry guys baller on a budget.




wow just 12 more days and it will be the one year anniversary of this thread you my man have got patience and i'm surprised that we too are able to have this kind of patience waiting for this AWESOME PROJECT TO FINALLY END!!!!!
very cool. question, do you think it would have been a lot easier to just fab up a twin turbo kit and maybe cost about the same since you'd be buying 2 smaller turbos and wouldn't have all the duct work up front?
sick non-the-less, just curious...

Almost identical to my setup except for you have a top mount and I have a bottom mount. Time to get that thing running and make some power!!

Yes Please.....
Finished piping the wastegate return pipe. That completes the piping for the turbo setup minus the blow off valve which I will add later. Motor will be pulled soon to start shaving the engine bay and prepping the chassis for paint. Here are some final shots of the turbo setup:

Lookin good. I just picked up a gt4088 for my vq35/s13 so now i gotta redo all my piping cause turbo wont fit where it was before. What manifolds did you use?

Just some cheapo stainless ebay headers. Cut them and flipped them and re welded them. We went over the welds to strengthen them too, should do the trick.
this build makes me gay for cars,i just spent like a day lookin at this thread its awsome. if i didnt jus spend all my money on my z i totally wouldve gave some to you just to see this thing finished. i cant wait.
maybe il do a 350z to 240 swap, lol KA powered z....

i really wanna turbo my Z. Im trying to wait until I know which route i want to go. Learned a great deal owning a 240sx. dont want to repeat the mistakes of the past. I was rushing and cutting corners. thanks for the info brother. You should set up a paypal account to see if fellow my350z owners would donate to your project. I think many would. Just a thought. Keep up the Good work. absolutely awsome build.

Got my JDM S14 Zenki Rear Valances in from Japan today, used, but in mint condition, when I saw them I had to snag them up. Im going to be using Zenki rear bumper, valnces and side skirts, I think it will flow better with the S15 front and greddy lip.
