The build turned out really nice John. Can't wait to see what a real tune will do for it. :tup:

You don't know how relieved I was when you hit the start button and all the electrical components fired up like they were supposed too.

Hell, I was just relieved it started and ran. This was by far the most ambitious project I've ever tackled. :rofl2:

Instead of messing with the firewall grommit we decided to use a marine cable clam and punch our own hole through the FW.

GReddy Boost Gauge module location (monitoring Boost/Oil Temp&Press/Water Temp - and soon to be Fuel Pressure when the sender comes in)

Not the clearest picture but here's the 12V switched and 12V constant tie in supporting all gauges

Boost Controller

Used the AL bracket to support the boost controller solenoid valve. Really stout.

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.

And done...What clean a engine bay.

This is a great build. I was noticing all of the funny t-shirts as well. Should you have a clamp on the lower coolant hose?

I was literally just there on Saturday - we took a weekend cruise to Cozumel. I'm pretty sure it was a bender, but I don't really remember :icon17:

Just a quick follow up now that I've had a little more time behind the wheel. Boost threshold is between 2700-2900 rpms, full boost by 3300ish

Awesome build and thanks for pioneering it for us G's.

Chuck and I have planned a trip to a dynojet for comparable numbers

True. I've got the camera. It takes decent video.

What time you free today?

Hindsight being 20/20 and all, I should have charged up the GoPro batteries and let you borrow it for the dyno runs.

If I hadn't spent Wednesday out of the office I could have snuck up there to watch the whole tune.

Make sure you get Johnny's opinion of getting the tuner license so we can tweak things ourselves.

Man I want to go check out your dyno pulls. What time? I just got home and out the shower and getting in bed. If I wake up I time, I will like to come see, then get back yo bed.
