700whp with ease
 

A few weeks ago I wrapped up my 370z build, some may have seen it , but thought I would finally make the time to show it off on here. I am good friends with Charles at CJmotorsports so this build consisted with several of his parts..... such a bummer ;).

Build list

CJM turbo manifolds
Garrett GT3076's
Tial MVR 44mm gates
CJM Intercooler
Tial BOV
Custom dual 3" exhaust with vibrant mufflers
CJM oil cooler kit
CJM oil manifold kit
CJM oil pan
CJM billet top with walbro 450
CJM S1.SE
ECUTEK Seb tuned

I ended up building the car myself At CJM. Charles used my car for a lot of newer products. The build went pretty smooth as expected. I work for GMC full time and have a pretty extensive background in automotive performance (probably from hanging out with Charles so much) for my age. This is my second turbo z and all i can say is I love the VHR.

I flew Sebation in from LA to tune my car. Seb was very easy to work with and I highly suggest him for any tuning in your future. The only thing I would change is fly Seb back out here for him to drive my car.... This car makes so much drivability torque its unreal. The GT3076's spool up instantly, I don't really see any point in going smaller.

This combination of turbo manifolds, large piping (full 3" intakes and intercooler piping), and tuning really has made a remarkable car. I can't thank Charles enough for letting me build the car at the shop and his remarkable knowledge of automotive performance.

CJM FTW!!!

BTW this is on the stock engine, Might be the current DynoJet record :)

E85 or pump gas???

Pump E85. Seb can chime in if he wants to share but he had very little amount of timing in the car.

Awesome! Good work putting it all together. Not many fresh full custom builds like that make it clear through tuning, and then all this time you have been driving it, without having to change or adjust anything. Seems like it was put together right.

Gotta get some GoPro footage up on YouTube one of these days!!

Ya I change the oil yesterday after 3500mi and everything looks perfect still. I have about 15 races on my go pro, Once i figure out editing it will be uploaded.

Great job. :tup:

You put 3500 miles on it already:driving:

Charles is the man, can't say anything bad.

Congrats...great build and awesome results.

That torque curve though! Your build looks amazing!

CJM has an oil cooler kit? Can't find it on the website....

700whp... so jelly. Build looks AMAZING.

He has a oil cooler and hardware install kit, without the lines I think. I use Aeroquip hose and fittings for my lines.

Ya I was driving every night for the first two weeks. Also drove the car to Wisconsin last weekend 600MI trip

I'm usually not in the mood to drive but when I am, It turns into a all night thing lol

Nice!

Did you do the fab work yourself? Welding up intercooler and such? Does CJM plan on offering more than just the TT manifolds or is this strictly a one off?

Currently its a core + mounting kit, which is in stock and available for the DIY crowd who wants to get a sandwich and make the hoses like Justin did. But I was waiting to post it until I had a 100% complete kit since there are already so many options available.

Ive never *loved* the act of routing the oil cooler hoses to the core in these cars, and I wanted to come up with something unique and special. Maybe some sections of hard pipe, maybe a custom billet bulkhead for the core support. I dont know, just something that made the whole thing "cleaner" and less "well that should suffice".

Will I come up with anything better? I dont know yet. I just restarted my personal 370z project and when I go to install this oil cooler to it, I will decide how I want to wrap it up. Justin wasnt about to wait a month for me to decide how I want to make oil cooler lines, but with my car I have all the time in the world :rofl2:

The fabrication was done by Matt, who is the fabricator that builds the manifolds here for CJM.

Manifolds and downpipes (with external or recirculating dumps) are already available and have been sold/shipped to some customers.

The massive intercooler with upper tubes (to the throttles) is the next component to become available. This intercooler kit is expected to fit almost all forced induction options for the 370z, so it will also be available as a standalone product that users could purchase to upgrade their existing system.

What would be left to complete a turbo system would be the air filter tubes and the lower IC pipes. I am still on the fence about offering those. There isnt a need for another complete twin turbo kit. To over saturate the market waters down the R&D and value of everyone's product and doesn't really help the scene. Doing the fabricated style manifolds and downpipes for shops and customers who have the means to build the rest, I felt, was more like filling a void rather than creating a competing option.

It was never my goal to be in the complete kit race, and my business is not prepared to handle the support needs of customers purchasing a complete twin turbo kit. We will see where the future takes us... but at this snapshot in time, it is not a target. On top of all this said, I see it like this: I can spend a bunch of resources on making this a complete kit with every last nut and bolt, full instructions, etc etc... or I can use those resources to finish my billet intake manifold. Which option will more benefit the community and vendors?

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaann nnnnnnnnnnnniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiffffffffffffff fffffffffffffffffffffooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooooooooollllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllddddddd dddddddddddddddddddddddddd!!!!!

message received. :iagree:

Just spit it out. You want a manifold.

Definitely.... Definitely manifolds....

Pretty damn impressive

Awesome stuff. Charles (Phunk) always amazing craftsmanship.

This is awesome to see! Planning on putting an FI TT kit on my G and Lance was telling me that Charles (and CJ Motorsports) will be his recommendation for install. Glad to see some real time feedback and your work. Look forward to meeting you Charles!

Streetz congrats on the build bro!

Charles's parts are simply amazing! It is a shame that most of them are rarely seen because of where the go on our cars. Highly recommend CJM!

This is awesome. Good work guys. I'm so jealous of those CJM manifolds!

Post up some videos! :D

:eek: That is sooo badass! That intercooler is huuuge! Love the oil cooler and wouldn't mind getting it to replace the one i already have with the Fast Intentions twin turbo kit.

I have some pieces for the intercooler jig on order with the laser cutting guy and a couple cores here. As soon as we assemble the jig I want to get the intercooler kit ready for ordering

With all this so called "drag racing" going on, I decided to give it a try. Picked up some used 28x10.5 tires and stole Charles (Phunk) wheels when he wasn't looking. Loaded them up in the hatch and passenger seat, and drove up to GLD.

This was the second time that i was ever at a drag strip in my life (first time with my 370z) and landed a 10.88 @131mph. This was also with just normal 275/30/18 tires up front.

I've never logged my boost on the street (No gauges) so I'm going to do some logging this week and make sure I'm getting every PSI. Boost control was open loop and we lowered it by 5% before unloading off the dyno.

I think a 10.5 is in the near future if i get the time. Hats off to Hal and the crew at Dynosty for ruining my day ;).

Sweet ride! Congrats

Where is the bumper reinforcement?

It was upgraded for one that makes over 100hp greater than the stock one.

MA-Motorsports had to fabricate one for me - the CJM Intercooler is massive and effectively fixed the heat soak problem I was going to have on pump gas and low boost.
