Im about to start my turbo project for my 5.5 gen like I have been saying since sept. The reason it wasn't done is because the shop was closing, and the guy didn't have time to do the custom work because he was busy selling the shop and cleaning it up for the new owners. The reason I said this is because I don't want peopel saying "didn't he say he was going turbo a while ago?", that's correct but that's the only person I trust with my car. Im goign with a garrett gt35r turbo, hks bov, tial 38mm wastegate, and some bulls**T ebay FMIC. I have more goodies I have to purcahse of course, but I wanted to know if you guys had the money and vq35 motor, how much boost would you run on stock internals. I was going to do my internals over, but I didn't realize how costly it is to get a block bored over for oversized pistons. So how much boost would you guys run? Im thinking from 5-7 psi to start, then when I get more money do the internals over. Oh yeah, fuel isn't an issue, im going with some 550cc's so I will have enough fuel. Lemme know what you guys think, I know im gonna blow up eventually, but I just wanna know when im REALLY PUSHING IT. Thanks.

I would run 6 psi for a while and get an EXCELLENT tune (I can't stress this one enough, don't join the statistics of guys who have blown their motors by neglecting tuning). That should put you in the 350-380whp range and be very reliable. At that power level you should have enough to smoke the sh*t out of the vast, vast majority of cars on the road.

GT35R I went with a GT40 because I didnt have enough money. As for how much boost to run before you do internals, Im not really sure but looking around on my350z.com should help you out on how much whp you can put down on stock internals. Which 550cc injectors are you going with?

Starchild2K2SE

I heard deatchworks has injectors for the vq35, so im gonna go with those.

JClaw

I heard of 550whp on stock internals. But if you want it to be very reliable I would keep boost to single digits, especially with that giant snail.

Starchild2K2SE

I heard the gt35r will spool real quick, and I drive around with drag radials all the time, I just can't wait for the torque in first and second gear. We are currently designing the kit, what we are going to do, where the pipes will run, what we wont need etc. I think my project will be big for the vq35 enthusiasts on here, and give some hope to those who want to boost their vq35's....

iTrader: (10)

Yea, Deatchworks does make injectors for the VQ35. Im going to go with the Deatchworks 660ccs.

Good luck with the project.

Good luck with your project star. My car will be boosting early next month, but I just need the purchase the 3" inch piping. And I too said I was going to boost since sept too, so it's good to finally get things rolling.

good luck with your project, you know if you need any help i here. and just think one day your gonna be able to slap me around (not) lol. ghase hows your project coming i know i gotta catch up to you too.

Starchild2K2SE

Im gonna hold you to this cmax. LOL.

C MAX

iTrader: (4)

well if your gonna take my title, at least i'll be able to say i helped you,lol.

Starchild2K2SE

I meant the help part im gonna hold you to, I NEVER getting FASTEST maxima in ny. That's outta the question,LOL. But yeah, I will need SERIOUS help with tuning....

Starchild2K2SE

Can more people voice there opinions, im really looking for suggestions.....

What a/r are you getting for GT35R? what housing on the hotside?
Mines's .68a/r T4 and I do see boost a lot sooner than I thought (especially with the a EBC), I get instant boost on a roll in sec gear and the car doesnt lag at all under normal driving. On your motor, I would go 5psi initially for the debugging stage and turn it up to 6-8psi as a daily thing. I've heard mix stories about the 3.5 stock motor not being able to handle higher boost so be careful when you do turn it up just in case. Also make sure you take plenty of pics and good luck!

Starchild2K2SE

Im gonna go with a .63 a/r, that thing should spool up pretty quick, and the way we ARE TRYING to do the exhaust piping, it really should. I don't want to do the reverse y-pipe, we are working on a setup on were I can use my stock exhaust manifolds and use the flanges from it, and make custom pipes to meet both of the exhaust pipes into one for the turbo housing. I have a great welder who has been doing this for 15+ years. I just hope everything goes as planned, and would my injectors be maxed out at 5psi with a fuel pump and vafc?

C MAX

iTrader: (4)

fuel shouldnt be a issue at 5psi as long as you have some form of fmu

Starchild2K2SE

My car is fuel returnless cmax, so I can't use a fmu or fpr. I would have to make my car fuel return then I could do it, and that would be more money, I would just go with some 440cc's and call it a day.

C MAX

iTrader: (4)

oh shoot thats right, im sure theres gotta be a way around it. so how are you gonna control the fuel rate?

Starchild2K2SE

Vafc-II, and some 440cc's. Im gonna be dumping alot of fuel with the 440cc's I believe, but maybe I can lean it out with the wideband, the vafc, and a dyno....

LOL, I think I know who you're talking about. LOL, classic! Los, me, you and Cmax can throw that shyt in. We just need to get Cmax Hen Dog and he's down, lol.

C MAX

iTrader: (4)

hen dog? did somebody say hendog lol.

Starchild2K2SE

I just got a price on an already made kit for my car, comes with injectors, fuel rail, piggy back, and everything you can name that should come with a turbo kit.............AND I ALMOST S**T MY PANTS ! Hmmm, I guess you gotta pay to play fellas.....

Nealoc187

iTrader: (23)

Are you going with 440s or 550s? Your first post says 550s and then next you say 440s.


You are just tuning this with SAFC? I definately wouldn't go over 5psi maybe 6 with just SAFC. On a VQ35 that should be good for 350-375whp or so. I think the 2k2 guys have the ability to have their timing permanently retarded with a consult correct? If that is the case you should get that done if you want to make any more than 5-6psi (or get a different tuning device so you can do it).

bgcease92

iTrader: (5)

lol well it hendog and coke for me and maybe some captin morgans brandy and you got a party

bgcease92

iTrader: (5)

Well he is confused becuase he doesnt which injectors he is using becuase he doesnt know how he is tunning it yet.

bgcease92

iTrader: (5)

If you wanna help and if cmax is down, then i am down i'll bring the drinks and hell i'll bring the ladies cuz u know i dont do anything with out some women around me with drinks.

bgcease92

iTrader: (5)

How much is it

Starchild2K2SE

$6400, comes with everything from the custom fuel rails, to injectors, to greddy emanage ultimate, but this kit isn't the ssr one, I have to speak to my guy more about it because he told me he was going to call me back yesterday, but he never did....

gameover03

sounds like ur better off going the custom route..by the way what up fellas?

gameover03

by the way where r u guys going now to get work done?

Well fellas good luck to everyone on ther quest for boost this spring. Looks like Mr. 5PSI/Knightrider better watch his back because mad people are coming for him.

bgcease92

iTrader: (5)

thanx , but for the record I wasn't talking mr 5 psi earlier in this post.

Starchild2K2SE

Im not coming for him, were on the same team, but im pretty sure there are a few out there who are....But ima show you what 5-6psi does on MY MOTOR,LOL.
I think everyone has their own connects, I have a spot out in LI, and a spot in the hood. The welder guy im gonna use is a PROFESSIONAL, and has be welding 15+ years(clean piping ). Im pretty sure everyone should be coming out around the sametime tho, hopefully we don't run into much problems.

I know but I was just making the comment. We are all on the same team but have our civil wars every now and then...... (LOL)
