FI Build
thought I would share my turbo build,
2003 nissan 350z manual, this isn't a guide or how to, Im not going to go in great detail of the parts ive picked or what ive done, will update
parts, thanks to www.conceptzperformance.com for all there help and info,
forgot to take a picture of the flywheel
first things first lets get the engine out,
being the genius that I am I forgot to evacuate the A/C, Oh well I can work around it for now
broom handle worked wonders holding up the hood, the previous owner was replacing the oil pressure sensor and tighten it way to much and cracked the upper oil pan, got a new upper oil pan from him when I bought the car,
taking out the engine was pretty straightforward, ive had more hard times taking 4 cylinder engines out,
what a mess,
block and heads and crank are at the machinist
for the turbo
with four valve engine w/variable valve timing 95% VE
215.73 x .5 x 3000rpm / 1,728 = 187.26 215.73 x .5 x 6200rpm / 1,728 = 387
187.26 CFM x .95 = 177.89 387 CFM x .95 = 367.65
10 + 14.7/14.7 = 1.68 15+14.7/14.7 = 2.02
177.89 x 1.5 DR = 266.83 367.65 x 1.7 DR = 625
266.83 x .069 = 18.41 625 x .069 = 43.12
18.41 lbs/min of air at 3000 rpm and 43.12 lbs/min of air at 6200 rpm
Garrett GT3582R

Assuming youre using 304 for all the hot-side stuff?
I used .06" for my Y pipe and down pipes with a small ~2" section of ~.08" (I cant remember exactly) but if I had it all over again I'd make my down pipes thicker. With that being said, my .06" stuff has been doing fine.
Do you do your own TIG'ing??

oil was leaking into the spark plugs chambers because of the worn out seals on the rocker cover,
you can see the saturated oil sitting on the bottom,
soda blasting the heads to save a couple of bucks or so I thought, machinist ended up putting them in the ultrasonic cleaner,
after soda blasting
heads are cleaned and the machinist is putting the new valve guides in,

spent a couple of weeks reading a great book called "Turbo: Real World High-Performance Turbocharger Systems" because I knew nothing about how turbos worked
watched 100s of fabrication videos, on youtube

oh we beat it into them … they just don't listen, then call us ******!
yea … hat-tip … I got sick of a buddy thinking I was an open-check book and invested in a tig setup and I've screwed-up a bunch but I'm getting better.
Another good book (you've probably heard of it) Corky Bell's Maximum Boost - I still reference that book!
well I spent 6 months learning how to tig weld, physically doing it and watching countless videos on you tube,
