I was able to fix the water leak, pinpoint my clutch issues to the slave cylinder, and figure out a way to route the blower intake.

Here are a few pictures of the intake. Probably not the best filter placement, but I'm sure it beats being mounted in the hot engine bay.






Any particular areas in particular? The blower itself fits pretty similar to the V2/V3s. It's just super close to the frame by the headlight. The bolt for the supercharger cog is almost on the frame as well, and part of the intake flange is almost inline with the end of my Mishimoto radiator.

Some Ysi love (and correction it is almost 800whp)

Any pic's you can get of the blower, different angles would be good.

Is that air filter dual cone (has material sunk in the middle)? It seems small for a blower that moves so much air.

Also, I would plan on upgrading that intercooler when you start pushing higher hp.

Is that ysi mounted on the v2 mounting bracket or did you have to make modifications to it?

I don't believe the filter is dual cone. I got a small filter with the idea of leveraging my bumper's air duct, however, the filters aren't as small as advertised so I had to route the intake like shown above. On the dyno, I'll experiment with the filter to see just how restrictive it's being.

A bigger intercooler is definitely on the "buy" list.

I'm using the Vortech bracket that came with my V3 kit.

Have you considered making a custom air box for a panel filter in the bumper?

Super Restrictive Air Intake. (If you want to take Advantage of your Bigger YSi Blower)

1. YSi Inlet is 4", you necked that down to a 3"

2. Tiny Air Filter, only about 44 square inches of surface area, needs to be 2-3 times that size.

That being said, their is not a lot of room, but you can clearly fit a 3-1/2" tube thru the opening attached with a hump hose. you may need to upon up the opening some.

With that intercooler, you can put a 45* hose couping on the end of your intake and fit a Big the biggest filter as possable. Any Filter is going to be restrictive moving that much CFM (1600CFM), so Bigger is better. With a larger intercooler it will be much harder to do.

Cool, how much space do you have between the blower and the core support? If there is adequate space you could use a 4" 90* silicone coupler then use whatever sized 4" filter you want down in front of the driver's side wheel. I did that on my v2 but it also had plenty of room for that 90* fitting right off the turbo.

Not trying to pick apart your build or anything. I know from personal experience it sucks to pay for dyno time to find out something is holding you back.

you just need this hose, like I use on my turbo intakes

and a real big k/n filter

All the feedback given has been great and is appreciated.

OldManZ350, you're correct. I'm sure I could fit a 4" pipe through the core support there. However, the issue that comes into play is clearance by the headlight and the bumper support bracket. Clearance between the piping and bumper support bracket is pretty much non-existent now with the 3" pipe. With that being said, I'm sure I find a way to get 3.5" pipe in there, but of course, it would be nice to maintain the 4" diameter.

I do have a larger K&N filter with a 3.5" flange sitting in my room that I could use.

A rubber filter flange will secure tightly to the end of silicone coupler (45 degree)??


binder, I like you're suggestion the best. Right in front of the wheel well is where there is the most space. I'm not in front of the car at the moment, but I'll check to see if piping can be run to that area.


str8dum1, I see that that hose is flexible, is the diameter preserved as you flex the hose? I assume clamping a filter to that type of hose is a non-issue, eh?

Something like this.....Or just use a short piece of straight tubing.

i cant wait to see the numbers u get.if things look bright u know many will follow including me.

I'm not entirely sure on the space of a 350z verses my g35 but most guys I see run the piping straight out and then 90* it so the filter rests right above the crash bar instead of behind it. That would give you plenty of room. If you still need more room remove that crash bar. It's a 5mph bar and the core support is bolted down quite extensively so in general driving or light track use the difference in that extra support being there is negligible. Most high hp guys remove them to fit large intercoolers anyways. I haven't had one on for 4 years.

Update: I was finally able to drive the car last weekend. During initial street tuning, I started to get a little pedal drop. I went ahead and ordered a Wilwood master cylinder, as I suspect my stock one has finally died on me. While I wait for that to come in, I'm doing some part throttle tuning. Once that's done, I should be ready for a fresh tank of gas and moving to boost. With all that being said, I noticed that the blower was now touching the core support. I'll probably need to address that sooner rather than later.

I'm glad you guys are much smarter than I am, because I'm not sure where I'd be. I went ahead and took yall's advice regarding the blower intake. Props to str8dum1, as I ended up using the materials he referenced.


First intake was included for comparison.

I installed the new clutch slave and Wilwood clutch master cylinders last night, and . With the Wilwood, it took all of 10 minutes to bleed the system, and the pedal feel is amazing. Feels good to get all that out of the way.



I'm getting a loud, hum/whine(deep) as I bring the car's rpms to/past 2500rpms. The sound appears to be coming from around the blower area. I noticed the blower resting on the core support earlier, but I'm a little unsure if that would be causing the noise I'm experiencing. I initially thought the noise could be coming from the BLV, but the noise happens under load, boost, and vacuum. The only other items that could be causing the noise are the blower itself, cog belt, cog idler, and cog pulleys. FWIW, the blower sounds normal at idle. I know it's hard for you guys to provide feedback without a video, but does anyone have any ideas on other things to look out for?



I've started to think ahead in regards to upgrading the intercooler, and I had a few questions.

How critical is it for me to upgrade to 3" piping? FWIW, I think it's going to be near impossible to get a 3" pipe behind the blower/bracket. If I did go to 3", I may be stuck with a small piece of 2.5" pipe bottlenecking the system. My short term goals for the car are to make as much power as I can on pump, and maybe in the future, introduce meth or some type of higher octane fuel. I think I know what the answer is going to be for this question, but with my goals in mind and knowing how tight everything fits now, is 3" piping a no-brainer for this setup?

Lastly, I think I've narrowed down the intercooler choices down to two:
- http://www.treadstoneperformance.com...rcooler++860HP
- http://www.atpturbo.com/mm5/merchant...egory_Code=INT

I like the fact the Garrett appears to be more efficient by size, however, it's almost double the price of the Treadstone. I feel like these intercoolers are both sufficient for my needs, and it's really going to boil down to what size piping I go with (Garrett = 2.5" end tanks | Treadstone 3".) Anyone have any strong opinions towards either? Or a different intercooler?

Personally, I'd call Treadstone and tell them what your needs are.

If you are dead set on getting the Garrett, here is a much better Price.

Interesting...did it sound like this?

http://s1118.photobucket.com/user/Su..._0517.mp4.html

It sounds like a screeching wail, almost like a banshee for lack of a better word....

That's what it sounded like when I initially installed it, before I promptly destroyed it during my attempted tune....but it has an aftermarket impeller and new bearings now after the rebuild, and I never ran after I got it back, so I have no idea what it sounds like with all the new hardware in there...

Also, when I installed it in my car it didn't touch/rub or anything even thought it was a tight fit, but that being said I have revup kit so it mounts differently...
