GT-R turbos on the VQ37

SgtGoldy

Had these on my charge pipes and you can see them take the flex on revving.

Yes the tube ends are beaded (driver side at least) and that coupler looks like a good idea!

I might buy it for the bottom intercooler connection. Thanks again.

Well the passenger side wasn't as easy as I'd hoped but it's still done after some manual cutting and a vice to hold the pipes.






Now I'm focusing on how to locate the turbo inlet in a cool location! It's super tight in there and I'm not sure where to put it at this point but I'll figure something out

awesome work buddy! I know you are going to finish this soon

Finally received the downpipes! Hopefully the car will be ready by Monday so I can tow it to a nearby muffler shop.

I will be routing them to where the oem Y pipe goes so I can change exhausts easily down the line.

Are those OEM downpipes?

No they are a "dump pipe" sold on eBay for $200~

Ah ok. That makes sense. That's nice to have at least. It makes custom fab work easy when you have the base flange in hand lol.

Does anybody know where this goes? I totally forgot! I remember taking it out with the transmission maybe?

Thanks! I really appreciate it

Finished the intercooler piping for both sides and finally got the steering rack spacers and it finally fits now.
I might need to get ones that are wider so they don't break under load.






Any suggestions for bov location?

First time it's been out of the garage since January! Forgot how low this thing is!

Sorry for the lack of updates! So the car was towed to a nearby fabrication/drag racing shop and they are currently doing the downpipes. They couldnt find the Nissan flanges so i had to overnight them from Z1.

Hoping that they finish the exhaust tomorrow so i can start it and hear it with a full exhaust on!

My tuner is coming to my house to install the base tune so i can drive it to their shop next week. Hopefully everything goes well
