Hello Gents,
Dad bought a GReddy Twin Turbo kit with intercooler for his 350Z and I just wanted to know if there are any Tips/Tricks to help with the install before I start. (Yea, I got stuck with the install.)I figured, if any of you already installed one, you would share some of your knowledge
Thanks,

 

Yeah, get dad to pay you. j/k

 

dont break stuff.

 

1. If you have the IC and turbo kit there are a couple of tubes not used from the turbo kit so pick them out before you start.
2. Make sure the fuel line on the passenger side is wrapped and way clear of turbo
3. Wrap starter
4. Make sure Power Steering return lin is clear of passenger turbo or replace with high temp hose to avoid rubbing and leak
5. Install silicone connectors on turbos prior to installing
6. Relocate PS cooler rather then remove as indicated
7. ReInstall airbag sensor vertically
8. Install oil lines to turbos prior to installing turbos and make sure they point in the right direction you will route hose.
9.Get a wire harness patch if you want to avoid splicing into ECU harness or doing in while standing on your head.
10. Keep at stock settings, do not increase boost unless you address timing retard and fuel system
11. If you cannot install radiator fluid reservoir where indicated some have installed on passenger side on the 04's or behind radiator on 03's

 

Also use a lift it is a pain if you try to install the turbos with the car on jacks.

 

Thanks Westpak for the tips....

 

! Hey, I gave a good tip too !

 

sil8ty, thanks to you 2.....

Westpak, you talked about: #9.Get a wire harness patch if you want to avoid splicing into ECU harness .....Where can we pick this up and what does it cost? In our intercooler kit, there was no parts list or instructions. We are waiting for RZ to get us a copy. Was the IC a Job to install?
Thanks....
