lol

Lol I might just run mine right off the down pipe .

Just a bit of an update on the install. The OEM cats were a P.I.T.A, and one of the studs sheard off durring removal. So to sum it up that is by far the hardest part as far as the kit install goes.

The first set of pipes were fitted (pipes between the turbo and OEM exhaust manifolds). I was not happy with the clearance so things were checked and double checked. After about one hour of messing around, I have determined that the jig is just fine, and that I had made a mistake when assembling the first set of pipes. As a result I am chaning the assembly procedure a bit, so this will never be an issue again. It only took me about 5 minutes to correct the problem, but that is not the point. It emphasises the fact that extra care needs to be given when welding these pipes up.

This is just another step that needed to be taken in order to bring my customer the perfect fitting turbo kit.

Now available for OEM and OEM like exhaust systems.

Woot!

My Bald tires are embarrassing, lol.

Now you just have to deal with the LTH...:icon17:

A new set won't look much better after one season of driving with this kit on the car.

Would adding stillen headers to this give us any sort of gains

I think that with this kit (especially with a stock engine) that additional gains are a moot point. Your not going to be using the kit to its full potential so the slightly better flow of the headers would not be realized unless you were specifically trying to push the kit and car as far as it would go. JMO of course.

I just mean in terms of effiency

The OEM header design is very good, and changing to aftermarket would not be of any measurable benefit IMO.

Available configuration for oem nismo exhaust?

Did you get any further ideas about saving the crash bar during this install?

Not confirmed at this time. If it can bolt up to the regular OEM Y-pipe, then yes it would work just fine.

I did have a look at it, and I don't have the proper materials on hand to make it work. In order to make it work I would have to use very long leg 90deg silicone couplers. These are neede (at the FMIC outlets) in order to get far enough in to the engine bay so that one can get at the T-bolt clamps needed to clamp the charge pipes going to the TB's.

The way it is set up now, the clamps on the regular silicone 90's can be clamped wit the bumpe off, then the hard pipes go through the the front rad support. Hope that makes sense.

The nismo has dual pipes similar to the fi tdx but the flanges that would bolt to your downpipe are rotated slightly compared to fi tdx.

You have to take into consideration at what point the mid pipe starts on the Nismo, is it at the same point as stock or similiar to the TDX?. The stock mid pipe sits much farther back than the TDX.

The new configuration for a stock style exhaust will not fit the OEM Nismo exhaust. It may fit the Nismo S-tune exhaust though.

The Base/Touring/Nismo Stune (not sure if S-tune Y-pipe is the same length)

FI:

I only meant the physical dimensions of the mid pipe, not whether the flanges were flat or angled, Y pipe, X pipe, w/e. Where does the Nismo connect to the H pipe relative to where the base exhaust connects to the Y pipe? Is that the same? That's all I was suggesting.

Look what crawled up under my bumper!

Now just to wait for spring. Thanks a bunch Sasha!

Using the OEM exhaust or Nismo exhaust would be corking the system. If you're looking for full potential, the less restriction the better.

You are welcome....now get that egine bay cleaned up..:icon17:

I hope you like the sound of the new exhaust system.

Very true. You really want to have straight through mufflers with any turbo system. The OEM (including all Nismo versions) have baffled rear mufflers, and these would be rather restrictive for FI applications.





Now, to sum up the install and the first kit built from the jigs. Everything went well. There is a small adjustment made on the collector pipes, but that is all. The rest bolted up just perfect, this includes the down pipes and the recirc pipes. FMIC piping was also bang on, and fit perfect.

Now I am ready to start production, although a lot of stuff is already cut and ready for assembly. As mentioned before all the brackets are already built and ready for packing. Just have to do the the exhaust side of things, and charge pipes.

Sasha,

I will have lots of time to clean up the engine bay over the winter :). I do love the exhaust sound, not to loud but very deep sounding and sounds amazing when downshifting with the rev matching. I will get a quick clip of it for you guys trying to decide between the resonated and non resonated FI systems for Sasha's kit, unless of course he already took a sound clip of the car.

Mitch

Just giving you a hard time....I have the right to do it now :tiphat:.

I have not taken any sound clips so feel free to do that if you want. I am glad you are happy with it though, it is such a personal preference thing with the sound/tone. Next summer you and James have to line them up at the track, after you upgrade the clutch of course.

A coupl of pictures from the install:

The new look, no BOV's. Nice cold air intake:

Please do this (sound clip)!

Im debating if I should sell my Berk exhaust and buy the FI, or try to find someone around here to make new pipes going from the turbo piping to the Berk mufflers, thus eliminating the resonators.

Just need this for my G37X Coupe.


Oh wait this is a great performance option.. that means.. X coupe owners, we always get neglected -_-

Dream on I guess.. dream on.

lol do you want to cry about it some more? chill out mr. 1 post

I'm sorry i sounded like a noob, but what's the advantages of running this setup compared to top mount TT? Thanks :)

Page one is a ways back......

:icon18:

where did you come from :nutswinger:

Anyway. If you made a kit for a G37 Coupe would I have to configure a slightly different route for the tubing to clear the Transfer Case?

Everything you have made is constructed with a considerable amount of craftsmanship, amazing results for a one man band!

^ a G37 with a 5at might have a chance since the trans isn't as big, a 7at + awd will not work because it's just not enough space, there isn't even enough space to fit the ART pipes, so for sure a turbo won't fit

Are polished upper charge piping pieces standard? Or black?

Black, polished is optional. Would have to check on that if it is ever requested.

My experience with polished though is that it only looks good for a short time. Even after installing a set of polished pipes, the finger prints/markings can make it looks sub par. It is one of those things that need to be handled with white gloves.

I wish that setup had a mid pipe back exhaust on it, wouldn't mind hearing it regardless.

Ill try and get a sound clip tonight for you guys, it will give me an excuse to start the car and listen to it again :D

Make mine polished please. :tup: I'll have a box of white gloves in the car and my tool box. :bowrofl:

Here are a few sound clips. It was a nice warm day here and the roads were dry so I have some incar video as well. I put the Iphone in the visor above my head and the windows were down. For the out of car one I sit it roughly level with the exhaust and off at about a 45 degree angle about a foot.

It is a tad bit louder than the audio makes it out to be, but overall the phone did a good job of capturing the sound.

The inside car run was only at about 0-30 percent throttle and no higher than 5000 rpms as I am waiting for my tune from Vince to install the injectors. I was soooo tempted to push it further but held back, haha. I will say that at 30% throttle it was probably comparative to about 90% or so before the turbo. Whats amazing is that there is no check engine light or any engine running issues once-soever.
