Been thinking about selling my G as is and get another just to get this kit.

haha, you are not the only one who's thinking about it. The sad part is dealership doesn't want car with mods on for a trade in :( i found a couple of cars that i want, non will take my car at a acceptable price

Reading through the posts here, there seems to be a good market for a 7AT kit. Did the local loaner car ever come through?

I have not got in touch with him to be honest. Making 7 turbo kits at the moment is a lot of work, and I just can't take on any more stuff at this time.

I also don't like to take on too much, because it can get a bit too much to handle, and mistakes can be made. So I will take it one batch of kits at a time. Once the demand slows down (and I don't know how long that will take) I plan on visiting the 7AT platform to see what can be done.

It looks like there is a few guys out there that are looking at purchasing some time in April/May next year. This means that as soon as the orders that I am working on now are done, I can start on a nother set.

If there are people out there that are looking to purchase this kit in the spring, please PM me. This will give me a good idea on the demand, and I can work from there.


I am just finishing the first kit off of the jigs. On Friday, there is a local customer coming in for a complete install and this will give me a chance to verify fitment with the pipes coming off the jigs. Once that is all confirmed, I will work hard to get the kits out to those (5) that have sent deposits.

Some of the stuff is being put together for you guys (cell phone pics, so not that great).

The oil relocation kit will have all the fitting already installed, so you just have to get it in place, and run the hoses (hoses will have a lable on each end indicating where it goes).

Oil cooler will come mounted on the bracket, so just two bolt for the installed, and it is done. Just run those hoses again..

New filter plate will be mounted to the bracket already, two bolt (OEM) and it is done:

A few things together...still things missing from there, but you get the idea:

This is all in preperation for the install on Friday. A lot of pictures from that install will go towards the installation manual. This way all the components will be as you guys would reveive them.

Cant Wait :D

5 More days :)

PM'd

Just went through most of this thread again. Is there any video of in cab bov sound?

PM sent...

The BOV's are very quiet, and can't really be heard. This is the sleeper kit. Got the PM, will get back to you on that.

:yum:

I'm thinking of adding the kit to the Z and running it at the track every once in a while. 500+ HP is a good number and along with some weight reduction parts I should be able to put up some good numbers.

Sasha I know you stated earlier in the thread that the Tial bov's are what come with the kit. But is there a way to get a louder bov on? Extra cost would be a factor of course.

The kits will come with one BOV, and it will be on the driver side, just before the FMIC inlet. With it there, it will be more noticable (louder) than being in the engine bay.

I can do a custom BOV setup if one chooses to do so.


HKS SSQV's are loud.

Add that to my PM please.:excited:

Would there be any negative affect running a single BOV instead of dual?

Not at all. The air is being vented before the FMIC. The reason there was two BOV's in the prototype is due to them venting after the FMIC, where the charge air was split in to two.

99% of cars out there only use a single BOV to begin with. The 350z twin scroll kit uses one, as does the mid mount kit that I make for the 350z.

The Tial BOV's are also the largest you can get at 50mm with large vent ports..so there is a lot of room/area for the charge air to escape while the TB closes during shifts.

I would add that the single BOV pre-IC is a more efficient design too. There is no point in cooling charge air that is not going to be inducted. By venting before the IC, you save the IC the thermal load (i.e. heat soak) of that air.

Do you have a version of the oil filter relocation kit that works with 2012 models that have the oil/water heat exchanger located at the filter?

Yes, this is true as well.

The OEM oil cooler will have to be removed, and everything else should work just fine.

What do you do about the water lines? Just join them together and close the loop? Also, is your kit thermostatically controlled?

just spent the better half of my night reading through this thread - VERY IMPRESSIVE!!

I have a G37 6MT Coupe and I hope it FITs because I am so getting this kit once i save up a bit. It's going to be winter here soon. this will be a nice winter/spring project.! I hope you are still making them when the time comes!

ps. recommendation on clutch? I read JMac88 running Specialty Z 6-puck. Is that on stock flywheel?

I just installed a South Bend Stage 3 with DXD flywheel and heavy duty CSC. Im told it will handle this power with ease. I'll find out for sure next spring. :driving:

Yes, water lines can be coupled, and it will just cycle through. There is no thermostatic plate. I could not find a low profile oil filter take off plat with a thermostat.


EDIT:

It appears that an inline thermostat can be added to the system. It would be about $130, including the extra short hose that would be needed to go form the new oil filter location to the thermostat.




I hope to test fit this on a G37 in the spring. I am very very positive that it will be a direct bolt on just like with the Z.

I would think, particularly for people up your way, you would definitely want a thermostat. Want to get the oil up to temp as fast as possible. Do you have info on the in-line part you found?

These cars are not being driven up here during winter, and I will look at the whole thermostat idea in a couple of days when I do another install. Sorry I do not have a part number for the unit I had found.

It was rated to flow 20 gal/min, and open at 180deg F.

I won't need any of that CRAP down here! Hehe

Well, there is another Z on the lift in the garage now. It arrived last night, and with a bit of effort we were able to get it up the icy driveway and on the lift.

The install starts tonight, although I have drained the oil and removed the oil filter last night already. I will be taking a thousand pictures again with this install during every step, so I can perfect the installation manual. I will also keep track of the time it takes to do this from scratch.

Sounds like a good time to make a few videos too....

OoOoOo Sooo excited :)

I make awesome turbo kits, not videos....:rofl2:

Boosted Performance, Any further info on the FI TDX exhaust? Is it available to order through you with the turbo kit and whats the pricing?

The F.I exhaust is available with the kit. Prices without the Y-section is $955 + shipping, since that section is not needed with the turbo kit..

I am assuming that this is without resonators? For anyone considering resonators, its very quite.

Anyone want to trade their non-resonated section with my resonated haha.

Correct, no resonators.

Couple of pics from tonight...everything is going well so far. Fitment with all the stuff installed so far is perfect.

Sorry for the sub par pictures..just used my cell for those. I took the same picures with my DSLR, so they will be much better in the manual.

Looks good Sasha! Question: Do you retain the stock oil filter size on the relocated filter mount?

No, the filter is a different size (larger) with OEM specs. This is the filter...with a lot more info:

HP-1002 - K&N Oil Filters, Oil Filter direct from K&N

Good to know, I'll order one now so I have it ready.

No need, it comes with the kit :tup:

The only thing you (the installer) needs to purchase for this install is oil. And do remember that the capacity is increased with this kit because it comes with an oil pan spacer. On top of that the cooler will take some additional oil. So probably an extra 2 litres (qt's) will do the trick.

Zip ties are included (two sizes), teflon tape for the pump fittings is included, RTV for the oil pan spacer is included as well.

Wow! You really are including everything! Awesome!

...doesn't include paint for your bumper or skirts though :stirthepot:
