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

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)

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

V1H · 10-18-2017, 03:12 AM

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.

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

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!

V1H · 11-11-2017, 02:16 AM

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!

V1H · 11-27-2017, 09:45 AM

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)

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.

I think the result looks very good:

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

Quality work there. Looks great!
