Looks good so far, great job tackling this project yourself!

Can't wait to get her strapped to the dyno and see what she makes

Making tiny bits of progress but time is very limited during the week. The engine bay is basically all buttoned up except for the tower bar. BOV is installed. Wiring is all cleaned up for the scavenge pump. Wastegates are prepped and ready to be installed. Turbo is clocked and ready to go in. Turbo manifold is on. By the way, torquing the manifold bolt on the driver's side next to the steering knuckle is a breeze if you use a crows foot from the top through the engine bay. Otherwise it's hard to get a socket flush on the head.

All that's left is the fuel pump and installing the turbo, wastegates, and remaining exhaust

I can't remember if I put this in the manual...but when you clock the turbo, remove the compressor cover completely and put a bit of engine oil on the large O-ring that seals the compressor cover to the back plate. It will make clocking the turbo easier when it is bolted to the manifold. When you are clocking it, all the turbine housing and compressor cover bolts will need to be loose. Once you have everything clocked, just snug up one bolt on each side (compressor and turbine). This will prevent things from rotating when you pull the turbo off to tighten the rest of the bolts.

Also, a bit of oil on the inside of the silicone coupler at the turbo compressor outlet will make things a lot easier. The new silicone couplers on new aluminium tubing can bit a bit difficult due to high friction. Oil will make things a lot easier.

Cool thanks for the tips

It was pretty easy to clock it on the workbench with just loosening the bolts but I won't complain if I can make it even easier

Snuck in a little wrench time late last night and got the turbo mounted up. That was pretty tricky. Super tight fit in there. Should be able to spend some more time on it tonight. Hoping to fire it up tomorrow

puckshaw · 12-13-2013, 07:45 AM

Almost there! All that I have left is the fuel pump. Everything else is installed and buttoned up. I've gone over all my connections and zip tied everything out of the way. Won't have time to work on it until late tonight but should be able to finish it up

COSMO · 12-13-2013, 07:51 AM

What fuel pump did you go with? I just upgraded the crappy walbro 255 that gtm sent me with a Aeromotive 11142.... 90psi instead of 40psi.. I may be wrong on the specs on the 255...

I forget which model it is but can check tonight. It's the standard 340lph pump that's included with the kit.

Hey can you snap some pics of the piping under the car? Wanna see the turbo...

I'll try tonight. I'm working under jack stands so it's hard to get far enough away from the bottom of the car to get decent pics.

Great job on the install, very clean. Us boosted guys need to plan a trip to the mountains......

carlitos_370z · 12-13-2013, 08:25 AM

I want boost

COSMO · 12-13-2013, 08:33 AM

Just researched it's the same one. Don't know why gtm wouldn't use the 340 since it's only a few dollars more.. Go figure..

I'll bite my tongue on saying anything about GTM. Not too happy with them right now.
