GT-R turbos on the VQ37

husam2012 · 02-06-2018, 07:51 PM

Been busy with work, school and life but finally about to put it back together this month.

This used engine has a hideous timing cover that is also leaking near the thermostat so I'm going to be changing it with my previous engine's cover.

Decided to polish it while I'm at it, about to be done soon hopefully

Start:

Progress halfway(20mins)

Finally finished that GTR build and it was done with the final tune today. Made almost 1040whp on e85!!

I'm currently finishing up the oil/coolant lines and hopefully by Wednesday I'll have everything wrapped up in that regard and will update you guys by then.

Thank you for helping me out! Hopefully you will enjoy the boost soon

Going slower than I expected again :/ just ordered all the fittings for the oil/coolant lines and they came out to be almost $200 not including lines

Finally finished the timing cover and about to install it today along with the oil pan and the engine side would be finished.

Looks like you painted it.

Yeah after sanding and polishing it never came out even so I decided to just paint and put a clear coat over it. I didn't want my engine to look that oxidized

You should see my front cover.

I also found a set of turbo's with only 3k miles on them. Waiting to see if I win the bid but fingers crossed!

Hopefully you can snag them up for under $600! I can't wait to see your car running around with this kit

Finally getting closer!
All my fitting are coming in tomorrow so I can finally finish the coolant and oil lines and everything is looking good so far thankfully.

Didn't do much today as I found out I don't have push lock hoses or coolant fittings but hoping I'll have then Friday so I can finish on the weekend.

This coolant fitting makes everything look way cleaner than before and will help a lot with heat hopefully.

Is that the picture messing with me or did you find an oil galley in the block to feed the passenger turbo from?

also lemme know if you're making more of those coolant adapter blocks.

I was planning on using the throttle body coolant nipples and welding/brazing Tee fittings in both locations

No you are correct. I found it on the passenger side and used an m8 1.25 banjo for the turbo feed line.

I am making a couple more of those coolant adapters. Pm/text me for more info
