That would be a too complicated of a fix. I'd rather just remake the inlet at that point at a different angle.

weld custom outlet to the compressor housing?

Personally, I would probably just dent it in just a little.

just cut that engine mount stud down or swap it with a bolt! All that extra thread above the nut is not serving any purpose.

Cast aluminum wont dent, afaik.

My father had the same idea haha. It kinda works but just barely touches it still. I'm just going to grind a little material off the pipes as they're kinda thick. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...1ba3b908fd.jpg

Subbed. Very interesting build.

Sorry for the slow progress. Work and school has been keeping me very busy these last few weeks.


As of right now, i'm still trying to find a source for m10 1.25 cap screws with a low profile head to use with the adapters. It seems like theres some websites who have them but they are mostly manufacturers so not sure how to order them yet.

Slow? Over in the AV subforum I am working on a sub box project... in the time I have spent making a tool to cut up foam, you're 30% of the way to inventing a new TT kit. I'd say you're doing OK. =)

I assume you have, but did you check with fastenal or Grainger?

I've also found some odd metric fasteners at BelMetric:

I've used Belmetric in the past. They have some good stuff

Thanks for the help! I found something very similar there but unfortunately after calling them, they did not have what i wanted :/

After searching for what felt like days, i finally found a small shop that makes the size i want.

Going to call them tomorrow morning and order them ASAP so i can be done with this.. It's so stressful seeing sports cars everyday while i drive a honda with 130 HP :icon14::icon14:

Finally got all the bolts needed to finish mounting the adapters. Finished passenger side pretty much along with oil and coolant lines. Driver side remaining.

Hoping to finish everything tonight so I will only have the downpipes left to mount! https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...5364110772.jpg

Be careful with those SS braided lines... as things move and vibrate those can turn into a saw or file if they rest or touch other things... It kind of looks like they might be resting against the manifold wrap and I'd imagine it wouldn't be too long before they start tearing it up. I would also worry that resting on the manifold right there you might be at risk for boiling coolant in that spot, though I am not sure about that... Just some thoughts. Other than that, this is starting to look spookily OEM. =)

I'm really impressed by your progress. I honestly didn't expect anything to come from this thread. Then you pulled the engine, now your almost the finish line.

GT-R turbos on the VQ37
 

Thank you for the help! I actually figured that would be a problem since my oil cooler lines were almost tearing from the vibrations.

I ordered a rubbery fire wrap and will may even add another layer on top of it just incase.

I'm almost ready to put the engine back in, but still not sure where to hook the chains on the front side of the engine. I was thinking maybe the lower intake manifold bolts that hold the injectors?

This is how I solved the clearance issue to the Inlet. I had the bolt just put in reverse and then tightened it from inside to he bracket.
