Cost to purchase that entire list?

Just made a call, going with the L19's..
Thank you... ;)

Yes. I would not build an engine without L19's. Just too risky IMO. Seen too many guys with head lift issues due to using a variety of different studs. Never seen head lift with L19's, and they have pushed 1000whp+, 1224whp is the highest I have seen on the VQ35.

Hey as long as you're in there: upgrade the oil pump to the Nismo one that doesn't grenade at high RPMs, and you may as well put in a fresh water pump while doing that too, give you more miles before you have to open that front timing chain cover again.

Ill probably use this thread as a template should I ever build my motor. Im sure it goes without saying, but be sure to check EVERYTHING 5 times right after you complete each process lol. Then check it again for good measure. I have read (That is the key word. I have no actual hands on experience with built motors) that too many built motors go bad within a very short amount of time due to the simplest things. Mostly spun rod bearings which has already been mentioned.

I know that information is probably redundant, I'd just hate to see this go south for you.

which clutch are you going with?

Build looks real nice.

I replaced the stock clutch with ZSpeed Stage III Endurance clutch with 19lb Flywheel...

does the 19lb flywheel chatter and sound like a tractor, cosmo?

I have the 19lb. Chatters all day. But you will get used to it.

I went with the stage 2 endurance and DXD Black 24lb steel...hope its not too chattery.

If it's one piece, it'll be noisy as hell.

I don't think my 19lb is loud at all, you can just barely hear it at idle. When I jad my 350z I went with the 12lb and it was very noisy....

24lbs steel flywheel, and yes, 1 piece. Hope its less chatter then the 19lb aluminum version.

Only time will tell when those darn tt kits ship out.

you must have a high tolerance :icon17: the 19lb is loud as ****, I removed mine. the 25lb "black" is what I have now, its relatively quiet, but still a bit chattery. cant really avoid some noise when switching to a single mass

do you like the 24 better? would i feel a big dif going from the stok 30lb+ flywheel to the 24 lb?

I too have the aluminum flywheel and the car revs much more noticeable than stock but that chatter is very pronounced at idle. Even over my non res and no cat full 2.5" fast intentions exhaust. But I figured I'm already going to have cabin drone from the exhaust so what the hell; racecar!

its a noticeable difference, but more importantly is the fact that the stock dual mass flywheel cannot handle the torque when going FI, eventually it will break, like mine did.

:iagree:

I have the 25lb mated up with the Stage 3 clutch. Chatter isn't too bad.

Got my new fuel pump in yesterday, Woohoo!!!!!:tup::tup:

Get new Fuel Injectors. ;)

Thanks for the offer but I don't want to limit myself later if I bought these. Going to stick with the 1000cc injectors.
Thanks again esfourteen for the help....

Makings some good progress

These are the fuel injectors I am going with thanks to Mr.Sqeeze..

1050cc FIC SP Nissan 350Z/370Z Fuel Injector Clinic Injector Set (High-Z)

Hey Phunk how about an eta on that fuel return system you were telling me about??

Just wanted to add I just called bobby and S&R Performance and he's just waiting on the custom pistons to arrive before starting the build. And just for the record he has taken the time to talk to me the few times I have called. I did have them go ahead with the L19 head studs and paid the difference with the ones they were going with... Keep your fingers crossed all goes well. ;)

We should have it all available later this month! Stage 0 RFS kits have been out since the car came out. But our larger stages are being wrapped up now.

That is the news that I wanted to hear!

With the power level of just over 600whp I am shooting for, will the Stage 0 RFS kit work or will I need the next step up? Understand I don't want to have to question anything after this build... ;)

You will want the full stage 2 kit, which replaces everything except the pump sending unit. All the plumbing gets a substantial size increase to eliminate sources of restriction and pressure drop, so that you can max out the fuel pump with the only thing holding it back being the filter and sending unit assembly. This means new rails and everything.. really trick!

Does anyone know the difference in the 2860rs vs the gtx upgrade? I am considering doing that as well since I have everything out...

the gtx2863r is very similar to the 2860 down low, the compressor graphs almost match until you get to around 18psi where the 2860 is running out of steam, the gtx has a much higher efficiency range and is capable of safely running 30+ psi which makes it good for about 350whp+ each. so while the 2860 is maxed out to about 600-650whp, the gtx version is capable of pushing over 700, assuming your setup can handle that much boost (compression ratio, fuel, timing etc).

So even with our stage II turbo's it's still about 600-650whp maxed out? Do you know what those turbo's run and do you think my built motor could handle it? If it's only 50 more whp I don't see spending the money...

Managed to get a little work done on it today. I went ahead and took of the exhaust so I could get the drive shaft off. For now I am keeping it in the tranny so the fluid wont come out but I did also disconnect the shifter from the tranny.... :tup:

You could go with the GTX2867R upgrades and be prepared for much more power than the Stage II GT2860RS. These turbos are rated at up to 490 HP each. They are a direct fit in the Stage II exhaust housings, so all you would need is the compressor and CHRA. I have seen the compressor/CHRA listed online from $1,200 - $1,300 a piece. I plan on going this route if/when I build my motor.

Good luck with the build! Looking forward to final results/lessons learned!

twins gt35r !!!!

I wish there was space for a gt35r

There is always space. If I had a car (customer) here wanting to set recods, I would have nop problems fitting two of these:

It would not take all that much time and effor either, just have to think BP twin scroll kit X2.

BP twin scroll x2......sounds crazy tempting!

The GTX2863r can't run 30 psi safely on our engines ,that's a pressure ratio of 3.0 and 49 pounds per min of air at 7500 rpms. That would be really pushing the turbos it's even a stretch for the GTX2867 r.










A GT35r turbo can fit with in our cars you would just have you use the compact T04E compact compressor housing for it to fit.
