First top mount single turbo 370Z

xbigb4ller69z

hey, build is looking good... whoever is fabricating the exhaust manifold, pipes, housing, etc is doing a hell of a job. I know it's a pain in the beginning putting everything together, but it will pay off at the end.... trust me. What psi are you going to be running?

As far as tuning, you're going to the right place. I never got to show you my TT z, but it was crazyyyy fast, ask Chris lol.

P.S. You might want to consider cutting up your front bumper so that the turbo can get some air? one of those bumper scoops? because that turbo is being blocked completely...

This isn't a BMW Yes, A/C is still fully in place!

Thanks Ryan, as many think otherwise, custom costs more than something from the shelf typically. Why people think it should be less is beyond me, my 3 month waiting list for such a build supports my end of the theory though

Thank you, good to see my work being brought to the attention of other boost fanatics that I have never done any work for, until now


Thank you! Turbo is a Precision billet wheel 6262

Thank you as well, appreciate everyone's kind words regarding the fab work! Wastegate is a Tial MVR (replaced the Tial 44). The undertray will be returning, the wastegate dump extends just beyond it

Ryan has said he's shooting for 500whp, I think that's a little conservative, 550whp should be good though @ 20-22psi

Appreciate your love for my fab! I thought my Roadster was tight on space in certain places, the Z is tight EVERYWHERE! Regardless, I am very persistant and when I set my mind to something it will be done despite what obstacles are in my way!

Thank you everyone for your comments and input, I appreciate everyone's comments good or bad!

Reality

Piping looks great.. welds look top notch.
-Are you considering some sort protection from the heat of the turbo? (ie: turbo blanket, piping wrap?) The turbo location will add a huge engine "bling" factor, but will also def introduce intense heat.
-What EMS? or are you going with an UPREV tune?

Off topic: Your M's engine bay look sooo clean! Great job!

I was wondering this too, that will be a huge amount of intense heat confined to an already hot engine bay. Some venting via the hood is probably the easiest way to help that problem out, are there any additional cooling plans right now?
