Ok, so after doing some thinking I think that I may attempt the forced induction route this winter. Since I am on a budget I've decided to build my own single kit from scratch. I've got experience on the fabrication department and made a y-pipe to an up pipe when I planned on going single turbo with my v6 tiburon and the idea was used on a buddy's car.

The plan was to stay bolt-on's with nitrous, but this is the second N/A car I've had and the rest have been boosted Hondas/DSMs. So the boost bug has hit me and I need to go back to my roots

My main questions are:
1) does anyone sell piping that joins the manifolds together and snakes up towards the front of the engine
2) anyone have pics of how the piping on a turbonetics/powerlab kit comes together thats not a front shot only and
3) How many successful attempts have there been with this setup?


I know there will be hurdles. Main one being that With the single snail up front in a cramped engine bay, the cold side comming from the intercooler will be routed over the turbo, but I do have some ideas as to how to go about this. However I am working with a friend who is going to school for graphic design and we are working on intake manifold ideas that will get rid of this problem (only issue is testing, R&D, etc).

Plan is to use my holset hx35 turbo fresh off a rebuild for the basis of this build. I've got accessport for my current tune but I am curious as to how forced induction will play into the big picture. I am keeping the turbo internally gated for the time being as it should suffice for 8psi~ of boost. Plan on using a Godspeed intercooler (I know ebay stuff) and fabbing up all the cold side piping. I have access to pipe bender, a full machine shop, Tig Welder, and misc tools to get the job done. As much as I hate to say it, I'm looking foward to this winter!

thanks-that helps a little bit

 

lol i lookin 4the same idea...i was lookin @the godspeed kit 2help me fab up a kit as well but im doin a vq35de in a 95 240sx so thats goin 2b alot more work

 

The pipe that connects the manifolds together is the crossover pipe. It can be made fairly easily. I had one made for my car and I have an AT which is very restrictive when it comes to space as opposed to the MT which has a little more room.

 

Everytime I see Godspeed pop up in a thread I want to

Solid first post

 

@1) Learn the correct term and ask again because IDK wtf you are asking.
@2) **** those kits go look up pictures of momentum performance's single turbo
@3) there are more than a few hand made single turbo kits out there, and their success is totally dependent on the guys fabbing everything up.

If you are going to make your own sh*t, you better know everything like the back of your hand. Go research more and figure it out yourself. Seriously otherwise you will be screwed, hard.

 

never said i was getting the kit just looked @it 2help me
