Not much for updates. I took yesterday off... was planning where I am going to mount the solenoid valve for the EVC-s, and the boost sensors. today I'll try to fab up some brackets. I'm also pulling out the turbo again. I just can't get a satisfactory fit between it and the charge pipe. It's really tight and the charge pipe was touching the oil take-off plate. I tore everything apart tried again with the same results. It's a little warmer today so I'll give it another try. I only have a couple of hours free to try. *fingers crossed*

This is the "hard part" of the install if you want to call it that. Room being the main factor.


However, you should not have to pull the turbo. If you loosen up the T-bolt clamps you can just roate the couplers and the two pipes till they are seated well. With the new couplers the friction is high, and they are stiff, so you have to muscle them on. Some engine oil takes care of this though. I know there is not much room to really put your hands in there. Removing the passenger side wheel will get you some extra room to get your hands in and turn/adjust things. Sounds like the first pipe from the turbo needs to go in a bit deeper in to the reducer coupler on the compressor. The 45* silicone reducer also needs to be slid all the way on to the compressor outlet.

Hey Gale,

When you figure out the location for your solenoid valve and boost sensors id love to see some pictures. I am going to be going through the same thing here before spring and was wondering the same thing.

:D

That's what I'm going to try. I pulled the turbo a couple of nights ago, pulled the pipe, double checked the coupler positions, put the pipe back in and got it situated nicely. Everything was good until I put the turbo back in. I'm going to do my best to muscle it tonight. I got side tracked this afternoon making brackets.

Honestly, the installation is very easy and the instructions are good. Like Sasha said before, if you can install HFC's then you can install this kit.

You must have been looking over my shoulder today. I made two brackets from 1/8" aluminum angle stock.

The two boost sending units will be mounted just behind the passenger headlight using the existing threaded location from the factory air box. The waste gate solenoid will be mounted on the driver side just outside of the clutch MC cover.

Bracket on the left is for the solenoid (upside down)

Bracket on the right is for the 2 boost sending units.

Here is a quick picture of the brackets. The bracket to the rear is for the boost sending units. It needs to me polished. The front bracket is for the solenoid valve. To the right is the aluminum angle is used to make the brackets. Easy peasy :tup:

Here is the solenoid mounted. Why did I bother polishing it? :icon14: :bowrofl:

HKS EVC-S by J M Gale, on Flickr

I used the brake compartment to house everything. You can run your lines to the cabin through the windheild wiper motor compartment on to the fire wall gromet. I need to clean mine up a bit but I purchased one of those vaccum manifold kits and taped into the brake booster vaccum line and ran everything off that source. Keeps the engine bay clean as well! Your project is coming along nicely.

Polished the brackets and everything, wow. haha. Any idea where you are going to mount the EVC in the car? Also does that particular one have to be tapped into the Throttle position sensor? I would assume it has to tap into the rpm wire right? Any chance you figured out the best place to do this? Havent had much of a chance to look through the service manual to much as of yet.

The EVC-s is the little brother to the EVC-6. The only thing you need to wire up is and Ignition source and ground. It must have flash storage to keep memory because it doesn't even require a constant +12v. I do have a PDF with wire locations for tach, VSS, etc. Let me know when you need it.

I got some "me" time in the garage tonight. I had another look at the intercooler piping, loosened everything up, dropped the turbo. After adjusting the pipe, I finally got the piping where I needed it. Now all I had to do was the hard part... getting the turbo to play nice with the silicone coupling... After wrestling with it for a few minutes I had one of these moments,





Success!!!!

FANTASTIC! Love this kit!

lol at the video...glad to see you got it all figured out and in place.

You are now the first person to ever successfully install a Boosted Performance twin scroll turbo kit on a 370z...other than me of course.

At the same time, this means that I got it right when it comes to the kit and the instructions.

I'm surprised, I figured someone Stateside would be terrorizing the streets with this kit already.


You certainly did. The kit is easy as pie to install, I just needed more lube and muscle to get the neck of the turbo to fit properly. Now that I've done this one, I could probably do another in 2-3 full days. The instruction manual is great, and the fact that everything "fits" is a big bonus.

I like a "tight" fit over a "loose" fit anyday :yum:

Cant wait for some videos of this monster.

:iagree:

siiick... now get this beast on the road haha

man that is f*ckin beautiful

Lol, now the long wait for spring weather! I feel for you man!!

It's like spring out there today +9°c!!!! Had the garage doors open a crack today while I did the fuel pump.

I also added oil and primed the Scavenge pump today. The kit itself is finished. I just need the exhaust shop to modify my Berk CBE, finish installing gauges, install the boost controller, upload the base map. Soooooo close!

Man, I hate to say this but its 21c outside her in Tampa... The build is looking good. Almost there!!!

21° is a dream! Wish I was there.

Sub'd for an awesome build!

fuel pump fun, looking good man!

LOL 21*C...how about -21*C. Good thing I have that 75,000btu overhead heater in the shop. I have to wait another 5 months for 21 above zero.

On a side note, if you feel a section of the installation manual could be improved just let me know. I always like to hear how my customers find the instructions. It is hard for me two write the manual, because at times I have a tendancy to assume one already know some things when it comes to a turbo system.

Man you can use my garaged if you need too. :stirthepot: Lots of Tampa folks would love to see you this far south!!! :tiphat:

Now you are ready to receive some BlowJob... :tup::tup::tup:

:tup: wow! Shiny:tup: i like shiny because i have no idea what all that stuff is:tup::shakes head:
:eek::icon14: :p

Well, Al was offering....

I was planning on it. My book is tabbed by section, and I also used tabs of a different colour with suggestions/corrections (I don't have too many). I was just waiting to get the fuel done and double check everything for the 10th time before I PM'd you with my results.

:ughdance:

sure thing, I can offer him a test drive on the Z... :tup::tup::tup:


:wtf2::wtf2::wtf2:

dang...!!! I'm not gonna eat & drink in front of you anymore...!!!


That's a blower that blow stuff into some pipes.....


note: Stuff = Air

Yes-we are messing up a legitimate thread-sorry Gale. Back on topic: Galeforce Epic installs!

Here how the Berk CBE pipes "meet up" with the turbo y-pipe

This was in the bottom of my fuel pump assembly. I made sure to clean it out before I reassembled everything,

I think I see anew manual and photos being made with you and Sasha...! Nice pics buddy!

How are you resolving this little quandary?
