Thank You!!

Hmm, the guys here used the 2.5" FI CBE on the AAM TT Kit:


600+rwhp AAM Twin Turbo Nismo - SOHO Motorsports

I thought they wouldn't be compatible or ideal?

What turbine and a/r is being paired with these 6758's ?

Today's a special day. 2.5 yrs ago I bought the AAM TT RHD kit. Developent took this long.

Today I took my 370Z to Horsham Developments (U.K.) for the install (together with various supporting upgrades)

Will be 2-3 weeks wait, then I'll rock the nationwide first AAM 370Z TT! :-)

PS: would be nice of AAM if they sent me some aam decals so I can advertise them :-p

That's exciting! We look forward to seeing your completed build!

I'd be happy to send some decals your way. Please message me your address and color preference. We offer red, white, silver, and black decals.

Jez at Horsham is a good dude. I had him tune my S14a when I lived in the UK a few years back.

Excellent. I will also be putting my RHD AAM TT kit in soon, and possibly the first in Australia to rock it too!

Just waiting on some Varis bodykit parts now then I will do the build so I can have the car off the road in one continous build :)

Engine's out. Bit of a scary sight for me but Jez and Craig know what they're doing.

Is that your Z in the back ground, the black one?

No mate, mine looks like this:

damm looks, sweet!

Hi Patrick@AAMComp, would you please reply to my recent email about my mismatching HFC downpipes, as a matter of urgency? This issue needs resolving asap not to endlessly hold up the TT install, which is already 2 weeks in.

THANK YOU
René

You got it. Check your email.

Thank u for ur reply, much appreciated.

Looking positively rocket engine, the turbos, pipes and injectors are installed now https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...3f89f9710c.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...78d4a17453.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...afad90032e.jpg

Those downpipes should really be supported. You don't want all that stress on the v-band connection.

Love the wrap! No loose ribbon cloth coming off of that. What is it?

That's sticky gold heat reflection tape, carefully applied to all aluminium piping.
Whereas the black coating is ZircoTec Primary Black ceramic coating.

Oh man, I can't wait to see your results and review!!

Quick update. Because there were some issues with my original HFC downpipes, AAM manufactured me a new pair and they have now arrived in the U.K. After some new ceramic coating they installation can go on.
I project another 2 weeks.

How is your build going?

Hi shadow85. H-Dev's last update this week was they gonna test fit the engine now. If all fits the new downpipe's gonna get a sensor bung welded on and sent away for ceramic coating. So, that'll take all next week.
Best wishes

Hi there,
The engine setup needed some tweaking for it to seat nicely in engine bay without any chafing problems. It's fitted now, together with the FMIC and piping

Oil cooler setup may need some fabrication due to access for the intercooler pipes and oil return pipes from turbo.
After that, the fuel return system will be finalized and onto all vacuum plumbing and wiring.
So there is still a bit to do but it is progressing nicely and Craig and Co are doing a terrific job

Looking great! This is an awesome build :driving:

TT install update
 

Update on the TT install:
My external oil cooler setup needed to be modified, the hoses caused interference, new fittings have now been made. The standard cooler lines for the OEM oil filter had to be rerouted and repalced. It's all very busy now down there. Real estate is very rare everywhere:
https://www.350z-uk.com/applications...02113e42411050
https://www.350z-uk.com/applications...22cbdce7397b68

Oil system setup for the TT is complete. Pictures of the turbos. The downpipes will be fitted at the very end; the engine was already out and in 3 times.
https://www.350z-uk.com/applications...f25df2f8cd7e83

Completed Fuel Return System with bigger pump and the necessary Venturi mod and all inside the tank.
https://www.350z-uk.com/applications...035b18c317d7c3
https://www.350z-uk.com/applications...9ef7760674edf8

At the moment, H-Dev are having a problem getting the passenger Turbo intake pipe fitted. The A/C piping and compressor hard lines leave no physical way of routing the intake pipe to the Turbo. New A/C pipes may have to be fabricated but H-Dev is contacting AAM first.
https://www.350z-uk.com/applications...17e91c7f4d1032

After that:
- boost controller
- Heavy Duty CSC + CMC and bleeding (the Clutch and flywheel have already been installed)
- refitting all electrics (incl fitting bulkhead connector through firewall)
- installing PCV system upgrades, incl. two OCCs and stealthy VTA setup

When i installed a sandwitch plate i removed the oem oil cooler it gives you way more room because i ran into the same issue with space, only the 2012 and up zs have that most oil cooler install instructions do not cover that.

Might be an option. I cant comment on whether it’s acceptable to remove the OEM oil cooler, but things have been sorted despite the tight space ;)

We may have a solution to your oil cooler issue :tiphat:

Have you heard about our R-Line Cooler System?

It's very compact and it doesn't require direct airflow like traditional style coolers.

It also utilizes coolant to keep the temps in check.

We mount it out of the way in-line with the lower radiator hose.

Hi Patrick, unless you’ve already spoken to Jez/Craig, could you suggest a solution to our current issue with the air con hard pipes?
Much appreciated

They reached out to us about that and we were able to find a solution.

Hmm all very interesting stuff here.

I will be doing the AAM RHD TT install in December, I assume I may run into similar problems.

But I do have the AAM R Line Oil cooler for my build.

Our Standard and RHD TT kits are designed to work with the OEM cooler set up.

It's always nice to have the kit though :)

Craig put back all bits onto the engine, looking nearly final now.
Unfortunately, there's so little space now everywhere that he wasn't able to fit my expensive Radium Engineering dual OCCs :cry:
The PCV upgrade has thus been fitted as supplied by the AAM kit (stock-like closed system but with brass check valves)
http://www.prelude.myzen.co.uk/370Z/Temp/204.jpg
The downpipes are now being heat-wrapped (in addition to their ceramic coatings) and go back on, too.
Meanwhile, Phil is going to fabricate a nice little engine loom cover from aluminium with an H-Dev badge on it. Should look similar to the 350Z EVO-R titanium cover. I can tell, the H-Dev team is proud of their work, rightly so :tup:
http://www.prelude.myzen.co.uk/370Z/Temp/badge.jpg

When Craig bolted on the downpipes, they touched the underfloor. They will have to be cut and re-welded to slightly correct their angle, not ideal being ceramic coated but the only way. AAM used a test rig to align exhaust parts, which may have introduced some variability.
The fuel line routed past the turbo housing within a few cm, which H-Dev fortunately identified as a disaster waiting to happen, and thus, added a thermal barrier blanket, bolted to the chassis side wall.

This photo shows the boost solenoid of my GReddy EBC kit. It is being*mounted centrally behind the plenum such that the vacuum lines are of identical length and as short as possible.
http://www.prelude.myzen.co.uk/370Z/Temp/262.jpg

The downpipes adjustment is the last major mod and the remainder will be finishing work, electronics, CMC and such.

She's alive!
 

She's alive!
The install is now completed, first leak checks passed. The car is idling happily.

ECU mapping could potentially start later today, or very soon, as Jez is again giving Tuning training all week.

Nice!

Been mapped now at 8 psi making 500 bhp. Havent seen the dyno plot yet but should be sufficient daily drive grunt at a very reliable boost. Very temped to leave it at that. Waiting to see what Jez recommends

Kool bro, can't wait to see it finished!

There was a final hurdle to master, which has now been overcome.
My Amuse front bumper with its curved under-tray interfered with the lower boost pipes. Below photos show the issues on the passender (left) and driver side (right)
http://www.prelude.myzen.co.uk/370Z/Temp/280.jpg

In order not to stress the fibre glass bumper, H-Dev opted to re-mould the under-tray (fibre glass) to give enough clearance for the pipes. The raised black sections need to be remoulded and lowered slightly. This should give an OEM-like professional look.
http://www.prelude.myzen.co.uk/370Z/Temp/281.jpg

I think the result looks very good:

http://www.prelude.myzen.co.uk/370Z/Temp/5171.JPG

Road test is now done. All systems OK. Craig said the boost comes on very early, pulls very hard. Should have some dyno sheets later this week :driving:

Quality work there. Looks great!
