Making an IPL a True IPL - 2011 G37 Build Thread

FYI...the ZSpeed try (V2) clears the oil pan spacer

How did you run two oil coolers. Just linked them in series with hoses?

I had the intercooler zip tied to test the brackets out. Allowed me to re-position the intercooler then throw another set of zip ties at it, measure, repeat.

With the charge piping - my thought there is that I'm rotating the intercooler about the bottom inlet axis making all tubing from the turbo OK (in theory). Doing so will shorten the length the charge piping needs to go. If too much for the silicone adapters I can modify one of the pipes in the line, re-bead roll it and that will account for the shortened length. I think only time will tell if this will work. I'll find out once I get more time under the car to test fit all the piping.


Oil Pan Spacer - - Thank you again. Got that one.

For the oil coolers - exactly Sasha was kind enough to do me up a Hose that is about 10 inches in length.. From my initial fit up it could be too long (side note, I can adjust it if need be). But overall, I will sent oil to the driver's side oil cooler, which is bridged to the passenger side oil cooler, then back to the thermostatic plate. In the long term I will probably swap the Setrab cooler I have in there now for a like 30 row that is on the driver's side.

You are a nut case for working on the car w/a garage! ! I hate it when I get hungry or Ned a tool or to simply walk away from the car and have to worry about thieves.

Go with what you got I guess, it's a locked apartment garage. No robbers to speak of, but to each his own.

I have been away for a while but that was all in an attempt to get the major parts of this build sorted.

Big thank you to Jwick and Sasha for all their help in this. More pictures to come but I wanted to throw a few on here to mark my progress. I have everything in and the base map loaded. She Lives!!

Quick update to the parts list includes CJ Motorsports S1 fuel return system. Great customer service from Charles as well. When I was checking over the system I had no fuel pressure at the gauge.. Sent Charles an e-mail that night and 7 AM the next morning he was in touch seeing how he could help. Great guy. Turns out it was my stupidity by not letting the fuel pump prime several times to build pressure. Also, that kit is a beast of an install due to the cramped quarters in the engine bay.

Here is the start of the pictures. Currently the only issue is a clacking/rattling sound upon acceleration in 2nd and 3rd gears. I plan to go through the majority of the heat shields and exhaust connections to rule them out but no leaks as of yet. I have ruled out oil levels at this point. Any input would be greatly appreciated here.
