My TT g35 project thread
I realized made a few threads which cannot be deleted so I am making one general thread for my current project. sorry for the other threads. Hopefully I will be able to get some knowledgable help from the guys here.
I have some FI experience with other cars such as 88' turbo mx-6, 97 s/c maxima, and a procharger previously on my g35 but am by no means an expert on FI let alone the VQ so any help is appreciated.
I dont plan to track the car. Just daily drive it and want a little more power once in a while. I very rarely even go over the speed limit.
also I DO NOT plan to go past 6-7 psi or 400whp. My goal is 350 to a max of 400 whp.
I think I have almost collected all the parts necessary to start my tt kit install. though I will need to buy one replacement turbo since one of the turbos with my kit is incorrect(part of the deal since the kit was a great deal)
03' g35 IP coupe 5at 50k miles
Current suspension/body mods:
tein basics
richie v2 fstb
stillen sways
spc front/rear camber arms and toe bolts
rotora 6/4 14" bbk
cf full ionic lip kit and TS hood
AME FS-01 18x10 all around in dark bronze
My current engine mods which I will leave on:
MD 5/16 spacer
1 step colder plugs(from previous s/c)
VB mod
trans oil cooler
Greddy EVO TT exhaust
Here is the parts list so far:
350z JWT 700BB turbo kit -brand new but missing 1 correct turbo.
440cc injectors
walbro 255lph fuel pump
Cobb accessport (thats what my tuner uses)
Greddy Profec E-01 boost controller/gauge
apexi turbo timer
Shopping list:
Oil temp/coolant temp/egt gauges
possibly hks ssqv
new gt2554r turbo
Also I am debating on cooling system mods. I tried doing some searches but couldnt find anything that answers the question to my needs.
I dont plan to race/track the car and rarely speed however the car may be in 80-90 degree weather during the summertime.
Would it be necessary to upgrade cooling components and how far do I need to go?
debating on bigger radiator, samco hoses, oil cooler kit possibly once funds permit. If itll be necessary for my needs.
As previously noted i already have a trans oil cooler installed.
Do I need all these or would one or the other be sufficient?
I know oil temps can go up a lot due to the turbos so thatd seem like the highest priority out of the 2. is the larger radiator necessary if not tracking/racing?
Also is there anything that I am missing thatd be essential?
Thanks in advance for info/help. This should be a fun small project(compared to others builds).

-stay away from mishimoto fans
-lower degree thermostats cost more $ than the oem one. example: Nismo~118, oem replacement~20 bucks. You decide
-Im running a mishimoto radiator w/ trans cooler and I dont have a problem w/ either one. Temps around 100+ outside.
-Im also a fan of the hks ssqv (I love thy sound) but im curious about the newer version that came out.
-Its argueable whether or not to change hoses, I did because of the bling. I didnt feel like messing w/ collapsed or torn hoses if it were to happen
I dont track my car either, I just wanted a bit more power. I didnt want a car over 400 hp, Im happy with my set-up and intend to keep it the way it is.

i live in HI right now but plan to move to iowa soon and eventually settle in the seattle area. Agreed I think an oil cooler will do the job for now.

They didnt put out enough cfm, take it from me and the other guys at the issues wiring the mishimoto fans:
https://my350z.com/forum/engine-and-...ator-fans.html
I ended up hookin my pop's chevy lumina w/the fans and went back to my oem ones.
Most of the guys were replacing one fan w/a 14in spal

No one ever replied to my questions. If the dual 12' setup couldnt keep my car cool I doubt the aftermarket fan controller would make a difference. All it does is turn the fans on sooner right?
The issue couldnt be solved w/the dual setup+ fan controller (theory)
The fans werent large enough to keep the engine cool at 100+ weather(Hypothesis)
Stick with oem(Solution)

got 1 box with some of the piping in, got my boost controller and turbo timer in. found a replacement turbo. waiting for injectors and accessport to arrive in mail. next step is getting it installed and tuned and i should be set for now.

good stuff man^^^keep us informed. Its good that your doing your research on things instead of dishing out on products that have little or no significance.
I might be getting rid of my Stillen VB upgrade within the nxt year and going with transgo instead. There's a guy named superchargedg that had stillenvb and said that transgo pwns!!! Although its unclear who offers the upgrade??? I would rather buy one built than doing it myself.

yea i have the transgo with b&m trans cooler. GTM sells the transgo upgrade. or you can buy the kit from them and have a local shop install it like i had done. even with my minor bolt on mods as is if i floor it while leaving it in auto mode it chirps 2nd and 3rd gear.

yea when i was doing research ont he vbmod i read that the stillen wasnt that great and also had a lot of issues. I just bought the transgo kit from gtm and had it installed by a local shop. probably the most worthwhile mod ive done on it so far. really made shifting MUCH better for the auto.
