Looking forward to seeing this completed!

It is not bad at all, and that section of the charge pipe would be secured to the frame. There would be no chance the tire would ever hit it...at least not the stock tire/offset. Like I said, there is a good chance this will change.

I don't only show the goods stuff, there is always problem..and I share everyting.

I wasn't trying to come in and offend you, you have produced the one kit that i have seen on the 350 and now for the 370, that i would really like to have in my possession, you do great work and from what i have seen i swear you have a robot arm for welding!(ref my350z.com) lol

I have a feeling this kit wouldn't work too well with a nismo exhaust setup. We also have the stabilizer bar in the front that may be in the way.

Ahhh, I see that is different then. Cell is right, the down pipe would not bolt up to that.


With boost, an aftermarket exhaust is always a good idea anyway because the OEM mufflers are usually baffled too much, and impede flow. I have cut some apart, and they are just horrible as far as flow goes.

The Nismo may be better than a regular OEM exhaust, but still baffled. A true straight through muffler is best for forced induction.

Thanks for the props guys...It can be very frustrating building a kit for these cars the way I would want it on my own car. It is easy to cut things up so it fits ok, but very difficult to make it so that it can be installed by anybody, perfect fitting, without having to cut/trim/remove anything that came with the car.

The charge pipes are looking good, will post some pictures of that later. Today will be a shorter day than the last two, I need some rest too. Hope to have the BOV's and MAF sensor bungs weled in tomorrow morning, and that would complete all the aluminum fabrication.

All the IC pipe ends will also be bead rolled, so there is no chance of ever blowing a coupler...ever.

I also emailed GTM about the oil filter relocation kit they have. Hope to hear from them tomorrow. I would need one for every kit.

This should be where you can find what u need for the oil filter relocation.

Hey Sasha, great progress, but I can't help but wondering if you are routing the turbo to IC pipe all the way across the front, why not consider just flipping the IC so the pipe goes into the IC on the passenger side instead? It would save a bit of piping.

There is just no opening to go through to the other side. The washer fluid tank takes up all the room. I did think about it a lot, and looked at the option as well. One would have to mess around with a lot of stuff on that side to make it work.

I is very simple to make the piping as well, so I am not worried abou it. It will also be very simple to install.

Great to see you on here Sasha. I mentioned your great work on this forum 2 years ago. http://www.the370z.com/720536-post35.html People just laughed.... Now they know you're a miracle worker.

Don't get too excided, 370z will be more. There will be one extra wastegates, one extra BOV, one more intake (charge piping)...that alone is an extra $500 in parts, not to mention labor involved. This kit will also include an oil cooler..ect. Things add up in a hurry.

The exhaust piping is also much more complex with the twin scroll turbine housing vs open T4.

T3, T4, T6... refers to the compressor size. Bigger the number, bigger it is but there are different dimensions entirely. Usually to reduce the lag, T3/T4 hybrid uses T3 hotside and T4 compressor so there can be expansion of some power due to T4 compressor and T3 hotside reduces lag to certain extent. It ultimately becomes limitation of the turbo in some cases...at same turbo rpm, the amount of gas T3 hotside will push will be smaller than that of true T4 thereby becoming the limitation. A/R ratio also works to determine the spool speed. Bigger the A/R later the turbo spools but if compressor size is different, same A/R does not mean same spool speed. So the compressor size and AR numbers work in conjunction to determine the spool speed per se.

It's still all arbitrary nomenclature of the size..... no exact dimension is set up.. what really matters is CFM...
