Well back to the piping, It's a daunting challenge fitting 3" IC piping in this vehicle it's very tight & nissan used every square inch, so some things will need to be relocated.

Almost Complete IC-to-TB piping . Just need to cut at some point to add a coupler in for some stress relief, blow off valve, & weld when everything is set in place.
Very happy on the way it turned out thus far, no turbo kit on the market "to our knowledge" for vq's offers complete 3" piping & and even the kits that have smaller diameter tubing still has a much more restrictive paths Complete cold side charge piping. http://i616.photobucket.com/albums/t...c/a562a68b.jpg http://i616.photobucket.com/albums/t...c/70fb1a4b.jpg http://i616.photobucket.com/albums/t...508facc0-1.jpg |
So we'll pick up with getting the turbo manifold piping installed, 'this is no attempt to brand bash' however we have to be honest, this was suppose to be a turbonectics kit, however for some reason absolutely nothing fit. everything was modified, I'm not saying that if you order a turbonectics kit it won't fit just our luck.
Had all types of problems with the y-pipe not fitting, most of the problem was in the u-pipe being off: this is how much we modified it. http://i616.photobucket.com/albums/t...c/IMAG0479.jpg The up-pipe was off aswell, again you can see the modifcation. http://i616.photobucket.com/albums/t...c/IMAG0490.jpg Making of the custom crossover pipe: http://i616.photobucket.com/albums/t...c/IMAG0476.jpg http://i616.photobucket.com/albums/t...c/IMAG0478.jpg http://i616.photobucket.com/albums/t...c/IMAG0481.jpg Finished Custom made cross over pipe: http://i616.photobucket.com/albums/t...c/IMAG0484.jpg Everything all done & heat wrapped: http://i616.photobucket.com/albums/t...c/IMAG0485.jpg Up-pipe with wastegate: http://i616.photobucket.com/albums/t...c/IMAG0522.jpg Extra up-pipe brace added: http://i616.photobucket.com/albums/t...c/IMAG0552.jpg Up-pipe installed w/heat wrapped and finally fitting, new a/c line also installed pictured here: http://i616.photobucket.com/albums/t...c/IMAG0554.jpg Getting all the lines, fittings etc. together: http://i616.photobucket.com/albums/t...c/IMAG0523.jpg Turbo mounted, fittings/lines made & installed: http://i616.photobucket.com/albums/t...c/IMAG0509.jpg http://i616.photobucket.com/albums/t...c/IMAG0510.jpg http://i616.photobucket.com/albums/t...c/IMAG0556.jpg While all of this was going on, we decided to surprise the customer and give it a Hybrid touch, by painting his intercooler piping pearl white to match the vehicle: (paint, base coat white, black hybrid motorsports decal, pearl clearcoat seal) http://i616.photobucket.com/albums/t...c/IMAG0531.jpg http://i616.photobucket.com/albums/t...c/IMAG0516.jpg http://i616.photobucket.com/albums/t...c/IMAG0528.jpg Maf bung welded in, not bolted like turbonetics ic piping kit, this was done to aid in eliminating possible leaks: http://i616.photobucket.com/albums/t...c/IMAG0530.jpg The piping is a very tight fit due to large size, so our blow off valve was left homeless in it's normal ic piping position & the fact that it was paint wanted to keep a clean look, So: http://i616.photobucket.com/albums/t...c/IMAG0527.jpg http://i616.photobucket.com/albums/t...c/IMAG0532.jpg http://i616.photobucket.com/albums/t...c/IMAG0533.jpg http://i616.photobucket.com/albums/t...c/IMAG0534.jpg now that we have our turbo in place we did turbo-to-intercooler piping short & efficient (also 3") http://i616.photobucket.com/albums/t...c/IMAG0513.jpg http://i616.photobucket.com/albums/t...c/IMAG0536.jpg http://i616.photobucket.com/albums/t...c/IMAG0535.jpg http://i616.photobucket.com/albums/t...c/IMAG0567.jpg |

Wow! This was bye far the trickiest downpipe that i've built, Installs like a corkscrew, The turbonectics kit has a two-piece setup but wanted to keep cost down (with v-band sets going for $70 a pop) and so it won't have to be serviced i.e loosen up we decided to opt for with a one-piece configuration.
http://i616.photobucket.com/albums/t...c/IMAG0558.jpg http://i616.photobucket.com/albums/t...c/IMAG0559.jpg Heat wrapped: http://i616.photobucket.com/albums/t...c/IMAG0560.jpg Installed: http://i616.photobucket.com/albums/t...c/IMAG0561.jpg Then Moved onto the custom built mid-pipe with supporting brackets: http://i616.photobucket.com/albums/t...c/IMAG0565.jpg http://i616.photobucket.com/albums/t...c/IMAG0566.jpg Installed, you can see the flex pipe, wideband senor bung, 2 stock bungs & transmission brace in this picture, going into stock exhaust right before the stock resonator. http://i616.photobucket.com/albums/t...c/IMAG0568.jpg http://i616.photobucket.com/albums/t...c/IMAG0569.jpg http://i616.photobucket.com/albums/t...c/IMAG0572.jpg http://i616.photobucket.com/albums/t...c/IMAG0570.jpg Close up on tranny brace, Used 2 mounting points to reduce it from loosening on a pivot: http://i616.photobucket.com/albums/t...c/IMAG0575.jpg |
Please excuse, some photo are missing (like p/s reservoir relocation, fuel pump installation, catch can relocation, etc.) and are in the process of being tracked down there is more to the thread that will be updated at a later date. thank you.
At this point the vehicle was able to start, So we vacuumed & recharged the a/c system at this time.(all good) http://i616.photobucket.com/albums/t...c/IMAG0557.jpg Almost Done: http://i616.photobucket.com/albums/t...c/IMAG0579.jpg http://i616.photobucket.com/albums/t...c/IMAG0574.jpg http://i616.photobucket.com/albums/t...c/IMAG0578.jpg http://i616.photobucket.com/albums/t...c/IMAG0576.jpg http://i616.photobucket.com/albums/t...c/IMAG0577.jpg |

Wouldn't it have been easier and less pipe to run a 1 side intercooler, and come up through the core support? I mean the pipes cross over the turbo right before the TB anyway.
