Looking good John. I would have stuck it out to help more last weekend but duty called. I'll be there this weekend to help out with all that sparky stuff. Keep up the good work.
You might have a chance at beating the taco after you get the snail working.:rofl2: |
I beat up the taco all the time...oh wait, you're talking about the truck

I'm not ashamed to admit I'll be much less help once we start wiring stuff up. For some reason I have a mental block for electrical stuff.

It's not that difficult to wire everything up, it's the making it look neat and tiddy that's a pain. |

You order the pipes wrapped or do it yourself? Looks like a thing of beauty! |
Thank you!
Wrapped them myself using safety wire. Safety wiring is so much better than those damn SS ties or hose clamps. I am also wrapping all the electrical and vacuum hose within line of sight of the hotside side piping or turbo. Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk |
Great build! just sifted through your install and magnificent wrap job. Where does the air filter sit? Right next to the turbo? Are you routing it somewhere else? worried about water or hydrolock at all?
|
Thanks bud. Wrapping that crossover pipe was not fun. Air filter is clamped directly to the turbo. It's pretty protected in there. If you ran into enough water to get it wet, it would probably be enough water to carry the car away.

I had no clue you went boost.. Congrats! and thumbs up for DIY.
Whoever owns that garage.. Such badass! Must be really nice to have a lift at home. I've had my fair share of back aches. lol |

Work starts back up this afternoon. List of remaining tasks is down to: tap IM, injectors, spark plugs, fuel pump swap, kit electrical, install gauges, wire gauges, plumb WGs/BOV/EBC, fix cowling/windshield clicking, complete recheck, upload tune and fire her up.

About to load the tune and its start button time
|
So, she lives!
Having a few issues with what i think is the tune. Double checking everything to make sure it isn't something else. |
I'm not going to lie, my money says this base map has issues.

To be honest if Sasha/Vince can't get me a little better off throttle map my tuner might be getting it next weekend too. |
First full trottle 7k pull on the freeway. This thing rips!

So long weekend again working on the G. Much appreciation to Chuck and Nathan for all their assistance, really couldn't have done it without y'all. Also extremely thankful the GF was supportive and willing to put up with me these past two weeks while the only thing on my mind was successfully moving the G into the BP club. I've got to say that I'm extremely happy with the way everything turned out. Took the car out for a few pre-boost data logs to make sure that there was nothing abnormal going on. There are a few issues I'm having with this base map that I need to discuss with Sasha but they are all driveabililty and have nothing to do with full throttle romping of the car. After we confirmed that there were no serious issues, Chuck and I decided it was time to feed the G a little boost and see what happens. So we set out with Chuck in the passenger seat with UpRev up and logging. After a little minor boost and everything checking out Chuck tells me he's ready to see a full gear pull. This thing pulls hard and it's on WG pressure and really rich. Turbo lag is almost non-existant and boost threshold is really good for a turbo this large!
As I said been a long weekend. Happy Easter to everyone and I'll try and update the thread with weekend work tomorrow. Off to install my mirror tap for my Passport as I removed the hardwire to make room for the gauges. Really going to need that radar detector now that I'm boosted. |

So weekend #2 work recap. Going in we needed to accomplish the following - Tap IM, Injectors, Plugs, Fuel Pump, Charge Pipes, Electrical (Fuel Pump, Exa Pump, Boost Controller, AFR Gauge and GReddy Multi-Gauge), Vacuum Hose Plumbing, a bunch of heat management, upload base map, double check everything and press start button.
Most of Thursday night was spent trying to layout wiring and vacuum routing so not really any good pictures to post. Here's Chuck contemplating http://i1155.photobucket.com/albums/...ps23464a2c.jpg Intake Manifold Removed http://i1155.photobucket.com/albums/...pse5295338.jpg Spark Plug Swap http://i1155.photobucket.com/albums/...ps392f3135.jpg Fuel Rail Out http://i1155.photobucket.com/albums/...ps5dcfdbfe.jpg Intake Manifold Prep for Tapping http://i1155.photobucket.com/albums/...ps86485e94.jpg Nathan Tapping the Manifold http://i1155.photobucket.com/albums/...ps67a42c07.jpg Since I live in Texas and we hardly ever see freezing temps, we went ahead and removed the TB Coolant lines and capped them. Here's the pile. http://i1155.photobucket.com/albums/...ps692542b6.jpg Fuel Pump Swap http://i1155.photobucket.com/albums/...ps0b755d06.jpg Fuel Pump Swapped http://i1155.photobucket.com/albums/...psd097be4b.jpg Installing Charge Pipes http://i1155.photobucket.com/albums/...psd4db5fb5.jpg Driver Side WG. You can see that I color coded the vacuum lines so there would be no question is it was supposed to be lower or upper port. Blue is directly from charge pipe and black is from boost controller. Don't worry I went back and covered the vacuum lines but left it like that for final checkout to make sure everything was connected properly. http://i1155.photobucket.com/albums/...ps16944997.jpg Rest of Heat Management on Vacuum Lines http://i1155.photobucket.com/albums/...ps2be719bb.jpg Intermediate Heat Management Process. http://i1155.photobucket.com/albums/...ps86be18d3.jpg Turbo Bag http://i1155.photobucket.com/albums/...ps20582943.jpg |
For the remainder...mostly the electrical work.

Really stout. http://i1155.photobucket.com/albums/...ps55392512.jpg Vaccum Lines http://i1155.photobucket.com/albums/...ps23367d74.jpg Completed wiring passenger side http://i1155.photobucket.com/albums/...psfc773d9c.jpg Strut bar replacement. Really don't understand why the G doesn't come with one from the factory. Of course now that I'm boosted, I don't know why Nissan didn't just give us this car boosted in the first place. http://i1155.photobucket.com/albums/...psa38fe2de.jpg My Ghetto zip tie solution until Mr. Gale sends me serial number 001 for a G of his bad@ss pillars http://i1155.photobucket.com/albums/...pse2467eb3.jpg Me relieved that she started up on the first crank! http://i1155.photobucket.com/albums/...psbea7787c.jpg And done...What clean a engine bay. http://i1155.photobucket.com/albums/...ps545adbdf.jpg |
Yea, I like both your reserved spots.... and what!
