Getting back into the swing of things....
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.

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...

This is a great writeup and inspiration! I'm building a VQ for an old Z31 right now, and you've shown me some pretty cool ideas. I love the intake manifold especially.

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.

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.

JDM Tyte Yo!
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.
