I've got the same "issue" as well. Haven't had no problems. Straight pipe from turbo back single exit.

Anyone know the best way to get ahold of sasa? I need to get a new air filter, I burnt a hole in mine....

Email

Sorry Mike, missed the email. I replied now.

Thank you for the quick reply, Great service as always.

Anyone else have trouble looking our filters are from Buschur Racing 4" 20 degree custom on their site. I believe I paid 80+ last time.

Does anyone have any tips or good photos of how they kept the wastegate vacuum lines/transmission harness away from the turbo manifold? Pretty sure everything got rearranged when I brought my car to the shop to replace the clutch. I was going to buy a fire sleeve for the vacuum lines but I don't think 500* of protection will help with direct contact on the turbo manifold.

This is how I popped my motor. When I reinstalled I basically controlled the slack from where the line tees over the transmission. I have enough distance but I also used lava tube heat shielding but it does more to soothe my hurt feelings than anything. Up front from the engine bay its sleeved for about 3 ft. Sounds simple enough but following the install instructions to a tee saves some headaches. I found out 1 burned granny harness and one popped motor into the club. I like to call those "Stupid taxes". They're expensive but you won't pay twice. ( unless you're in the "Real stupid" bracket.

Use a ton of zip ties to keep everything out of the way. I used thermotec heat sleeve for all vacuum lines. I also header wrapped the turbo manifold to prevent those heat issues. Check my build thread link and there’s probably some pictures of the underside.

Anyone that has filter melting this is the man to talk to you about fixes and where to buy them.

Sasha made a new heart shield!!!

I ran my 350Z (same kit configuration as VHR), ran all the hoses upwards from the wastegates. Never had any issues at all, as everything was a fair distance from any hot surface. Nothing was ever heat wrapped.


I'll have a few heat shields in stock in a couple of weeks.

I was using some DEI heat sheaths for the vacuum lines. I should have wrapped or ceramic coated the turbo manifold. I even bought the heat wrap but I never got around to doing it. Big mistake.

I moved my transmission harness as far away as I could from the manifold. What kind of symtpoms were you showing before and when it failed? My brake light comes on under acceleration and a couple times my traction control light and yaw sensor light came on. Everyone seems to think it's low brake fluid but that's not the case. I think it may be the heat being generated by the turbo and it's proximity to the harness line. Did you have any of these issues when your harness failed?

My harness was my fault. The instructions tell you to raise it up , I just did'nt raise it far enough. First a few lights came on then everything on the dash quit working and it shut down. When faced with a new harness cost I just spliced the wires.

Guess I'll find out. Thanks for the help

Well I guess if anyone else is having the same problem I was having... Even if you're brake fluid is between the min and Max, the brake light will come on. I went ahead and topped it off to the max line and what do ya know.. No more brake light! Learn from my stupidity

Been there .. when u floor it the fluid in little reservoir gets all over the place from the g force and the level sensor will read low .. ur brake light will flash .. do it few times and ur abs shuts off and ur vdc wont work as well. Since then I always keep a bottle of motul 660 in the car just in case i need to top it off.

Really excited about this kit, great work and very thought through.

Sent you a PM regarding availability.

Thanks again Sasa, I got the filter and gasket! As always great service and quick turn around.

Installing the kit now. Just ran into the Coupler issue for discharge pipes from IC. I'll have to source some 3 to 2.5" tomorrow locally myself. Not worth shipping international for 2 Couplers. :(

Oddly enough, there is zero mention of any of the discharge pipe work from IC to TB in the manual either.

So my car is the one Sasa posted a link to. Very happy with it and work RT did. Its on 10lbs, ark grip exhaust, and unfortunately had to get high flow cats fabricated due to NJ emissions. I am having an issue with the trans harness though. One burnt already and I think the new one may have as well ( not my fault ).

Heat wrap it. Use the heat sleeve Madwi posted.

Sorry for the inconvenience. I'll be more than happy to cover the cost of replacement couplers.

The harness needs to be tucked upwards. It is very easy to do, the manual covers it well, and hardware is included.

5 days and its ready. hmmm.

Nah mate, not worth it and you've been a champion all the way through. Seems kinda petty if I demanded that and anyhow it's all sorted now.

Question. For the time being I won't be running anything but spring pressure, which is 7.5 pounds if I'm not mistaken (hoping there's a 9 pound spring in there, haven't checked). Boost Controller will come later.

How would this affect the plumbing for the Wastegates?

So it was fine the second time around. The issue this time was a fuse.

Where it’s be?

TAKING ORDERS for winter 2017 turbo kits
 

You just won’t plumb the controller into the system and the top of the WGs will be vented to atmosphere. When you get the BC you’ll tee off that line and plumb up the BC solenoid as directed by the manual for the controller you select. I’m purposely being vague cuz hookup will be dependent on the BC you select.

Getting super close. Flashed base ROM today and fired it up after getting most of the engine bay back to stock and everything was spot on, super smooth.

Finished wrapping the exhaust bits, prepping Wastegates and jacket is fitted to Turbo. Ended up going with the red springs on the WGs (~6 PSI) and will fit an EBC in another week or two.

Tomorrow should find out definitively whether this kit works with an RHD. Both from Filter & Turbo discharge pipework aspects... not nervous at all... :ugh2:

I’d up the spring in the WG to the half bar spring if your power goal is more than 500whp. If you run the 6lb spring you are going to be limited to 12lb with the boost controller. Not sure how many pounds people are running with that comp turbo but my PT6266 is 11.5-12lbs for 510whp.

Still a stock motor. Don't feel comfortable pushing it past 10psi ever in it's current form. 6 & 10 psi is a happy medium, that was the reason behind it.

And how come I'd be limited to 12 pounds? Is there something I'm not aware of with these WGs? Cause back in the Z32 days it wasn't uncommon by any stretch for those with stock WGs (6lb) to hit 12-18 with a good EBC.

I have been sending pm after pm in regards to it. Does anyone have one?

Sending you one tomorrow. Just made a couple this weekend.

All the BCs I’m familiar with limit you to 100% of WG pressure, so you can only run twice the pressure of the spring.

how much for this head shield? I want one for my kit my well please

Holy crap what a frustrating afternoon. Spent 3 hours fighting with the discharge pipes trying to get them to fit. Gave up and ended up going a slightly different route. Bought a 2.5" 45deg 300mm long silicone coupler that ended up taking over the mid section around the engine mount; from there I used that smaller 2.5" aluminium pipe with a dent in it to bring it to the 2.25 pipe. I used the included 2.5 to 2.25 straight reducer and it 'just' fits, though I've ordered a 2.5 to 2.25 45 deg coupler to swap it out later with. Didn't end up using the included 2.5" 90 deg aluminium pipe, which was the biggest source of my frustration, but at least the discharge pipework is done now from Turbo to IC.

I test fitted the Filter and it ended up fouling a little on the small hardlines at the base of the steering column but not the column itself. I've trimmed 10mm off the filter coupler and will give it another crack tomorrow. It's going to be a tight fit, but I believe it'll work.


That's odd. I've never heard of that, I've used HKS and GFB in the past and didn't hear that coming up. I was running 16lb on stock 6lb WG springs with my Z32 using a HKS EVC4 EBC years back.

Heat shield would be nice. Please don’t forget

If you could keep me in mind for the heat shield and air filter in the front kit please.
