Couple more updates! For anybody trying to remove the ECU connector for engine removal and you manage to struggle like I did, here's some pics explaining how to disconnect the plugs.

So looking at the connector, you have to press on the piece I pointed at with a screw driver, then you can rotate the lock and unplug it. Hope this helps.

This looks like an awesome idea

Sub'd for updates. This may be a viable option for me, much sooner than an FI kit.

Ordered some parts from Z1 that are arriving this week hopefully! The adapter should be here before the weekend and the mount bracket is at a shop and they will be giving me a quote tomorrow!

Only thing left is the clutch, I'm still tight on money so does anybody know a good budget clutch/flywheel combo that's good for 500ftlbs/tq?

Going to be upgrading my motor mounts also if there's any money left after

Z1 clutch/flywheel combo is rated to 500ft/lb and is one of the best priced packages out there. I have it and love it.

I've actually found a local supplier for the whole adapter/ bracket as a kit. They are able to make it for me if I can get an order for 10 pieces of each made.


I'm sure some people are interested, but are there 10 willing to buy the adapters and engine bracket? If anybody is interested, let me know here as my inbox is full.

Thanks!

Sounds pretty intriguing. What would the cost of the adapter/bracket?

I don't have a set number right now as I still need to get it perfect with everything on the car including oil and water lines done. Im thinking around 1K for the adapters and the motor mount bracket. If I were to include the lines and maybe a downpipe adapter then it will be much higher.



Should I start a poll to see how many are interested?



Some more pictures. Not a lot of progress as i'm buying more parts every other week until I figure everything out.

I would jump on this in a heartbeat if the price was right for the whole setup. Sub'd

I'm going to be starting a "build thread" as this is not the right subforum to post all of these pictures. Just a few more pictures to show that everything fits including the GTR inlets! When done, I'm thinking of selling the adapters, mount bracket, oil and water line fittings plus maybe some basic couplers for the outlet to the intercooler!





Excuse the mess, haven't had time to clean it between working

Wow this looks awesome! Nice work and good job taking the initiative! So many of these threads start and end with couch theories, good to see that you area actually trying it!

As for keeping it simple with pre-existing parts out there, considering that the VQ37 has such a high compression, you could just run the GTR turbos on wastegate boost, and not even need a boost controller. This is assuming the turbos are internally gated at something low like 6-7 psi. Do you know what the wastegate boost is set at for these turbos?

As for controlling AFR, both Uprev and ECUtek would be able to handle it. And if you're just shooting for 450-500whp, you could just get away with a pump and injectors. You wouldn't need a return system until you start going higher than that.

This is exciting!

New update on this. I'm able to supply the adapter plate for the turbos along with the motor mount bracket (aluminum machined) for just under $900 shipped. I can also include the fittings and oil/water lines if needed for a fee. I'm just trying to see how many people are able to buy it since I don't want to sink another $1000 into the CNC design and have nobody interested in buying it.


If you are interested, please let me know here or on a PM as I will need to let the machine shop within a week.

Thanks so much!

If I were to guess, I think you'll get a lot of interest after you finish your build so that people can see that everything fits with room for charge piping, etc....
