Remote mount turbo V6 project

I would love to see a rally version! Keep us posted!

Sounds like a fun build. Like Arro said, keep us updated.

These cars obviously look competitive in the dirt, but not many ppl venture there.  Want to see more.  Good luck!

cool man... i'd loves to see it with some huge fogs.

i started pulling off the upper intake today to prep it for the ACADIANAMOTORSPORTS HEAT SPACER kit...i decided to block off the EGR port, remove the fuel pressure hot solinoid, and bypass the coolant that feeds the passanger side of the upper intake....i have deleted the T/B coolant lines in the past and with these new changes it should make the upper intake much cooler.....while i had the T/B off, i port matched the the intake so it matches perfectly with the 60mm t/b gasket..Dremel tool did it fast!!

Huge fogs, huge flares, huge all terrains, do it!

lose the isuzu wheels though lol and do mudflaps!!!

Ahh, makes sense, grats on a worthy project man!

SRA vg would be sexy fun.  It'd be a beast with its nearly 0 camber.

andrews notch wasnt the first vg swapped notch...but it was the first one with a build thread where the swap had been walked through and what not...there was one or two other swaps before than...i think one in washington and one in oregon.

...I finished up the install yesterday and it works as advertised, There is plenty of clearance to close the hood with the 3/8" spacer on my 88 SE...installation was a breeze as the gaskets were cut and drilled perfectly... Intake [upper] temps went from 150/160F down to 100F[car was fully warmed by driving a half hour]..lower intake temps were 200F......i tested with a IR gun and a Fluke meter..its accurate....go buy a spacer kit!!

Hopefully have an update in a day or two, maybe a running video?

Gawd that disty is really making me think, and worry...

i dont think sra....as far as i can remember....so, the sra vg notch is most likely a first.

It should pull pretty hard, I need a set of spacers or even better five lug adapters.  Anyone???

Well sold my sled last night  4 $300 so waitin till thu or fri to go to dmv to put on road  Smiley they better not give me a hard time tho i got a registration/bill of sale and insurance card, maybe i get luck and get the 1 nicer lady then maybe a little flirting  Wink ill get it, then  i have to bleed brakes,hook up rear wiring,slap rear bumper back on ,exhust mod, and  out the other 4 spark plugs in holy f@#$ were they tight pb blasted them so waiting and thought my new cap/rotor off my 88 would work...wrong! rotor to big so 2-3 days waiting for that at the parts store to ship in,got to do an oil change to then  hopefully drive it around 1s place headed to junk yard to look for some big o flares Smiley

eBay has little to NO 4->5 lug adapters.  Nothing good I could find at least.  The lowest quote for the adapters I could find was 180 for the pair...

Very nice!

Jordan on 01:30:20 PM / 01-Dec-10Very nice!

Those clears on that white rally car is f**king hot! i still want some

more pics i demand it....icant believe wat has come from this car im glad i sold it to you...i wanted to do a vh45de swap in her : (

i had heard NY dropped the dyno test for emissions testing on all cars before 95,,,took it in with the EGR and CAT removed and its true..its just a safety test[lites/horn/brakes/steering]...its easy sailing from now on[though this car always passed]...anyway,mechanic looked it over and asked about the meth injection and rear turbo set ups and said its good to go!!

Still one of my favorite S12 builds :thumbsup:

i was having problems with the fuel pump wiring grounding out ...Nissan really designed a shitty wire pass through on the fuel tank pump lid ..if the positivewire  grounds, the fuse blows and if the negative grounds it wont shut off....i bypassed the ECU control of the pump and used a relay to feed it 14 volts constant when running...with the battery in the hatch area it was a easy conversion...it pulls noticably better!!

i picked up a used set of air bags and installed one in the rear passanger coil...not a easy installation as these bags are very still material and didnt want to slide in to postion..my hands are killing me!!...15psi  preload in that spring now..it should help with traction.

Where from ny are you from???? I would like to see this car in person one day

Just look for the red streak and listen for the "WHOOOOOOSH" as he blows by!!!

otherwise use anal lube :yay!:

...i wanted to rig better location for the tranny cooler that i'm using for the  water cooled center section on the T3..i had the heat exchanger just laying in the hatch area and it wasnt doing its job as the water was scalding hot[duh!! no air flow].. .anyway, this is what i came up with...i kept the reservoir with pump in the rear hatch.

Being all the way back there I wouldn't even bother with water cooling, I don't even water cool my T25...

...i had these parts laying around and decided it can only help with longevity..it works great...that cooler scrubs off the heat so well the water in the resevoir is only luke warm even after driving the car for an hour with 12psi blasts!!

lasts atleast 10miles or one speedbump LOL

but awesome work like usual

...the day that happens this thread gets locked!!  LOL

As far as I'm concerned you killed two birds with one stone (or got two birds stoned at once?) and built a turbo/fuel cooler. Pretty good use of spare parts.

so how exactly does that work? i see but can't picture the whole set-up in my mind....

...i have a 2.5 gallon coolant reservoir located in the driver rear hatch corner, where i mounted a small bilge pump[$12.00] within the reservoir and rubber lines that connect to the turbo center section in/out which connects to the heat exchanger...i was able to remove a floor plug in the hatch area to feed the lines through to make a clean installation....i wired the bilge pump to the factory fuel pump wiring which wasnt being used because i had bypassed it for a relay and full time voltage.[btw,fuel pump works so much better].

..i wired in a relay to my Hobbs switch to control the two pumps for the meth injection...i had it set up previously  directly wired through the Hobbs but it couldnt handle the electrical circuit...sometimes yes/no...it works great now ...amazing how the meth drops temperature so fast....i use a M.75 nozzle on the turbo inlet and a M2 just before the throttle body.

I don't always keep up on your thread, but I catch up with it now and then, and I still feel that yours is the coolest boosted VG30E S12 on here :thumbsup:

thanks Jason...plans for the summer'12 is to rebuild the rear suspension[poly bushings] and install a OBX LSD.

i used this to control my fan but wasnt happy with the push in fin/ probe because it was activating the fan to late...i decided to carefully drill and tap for the sensor which threads into the radiator...works perfect.

picked these up from Zack at Acadiana sports cars on a group buy..very nice  part.

Very good idea on tapping in the sensor. I had similar problems especially when driving hard.

You didn't want to use an inline hose sensor?

Arrow, i saw this spot on the upper radiator and its direct with the water feed and has a flat spot for the sensor to seal flush against....the Derale instructions say to keep it as close to that as possible...BoostedVG, I called Derale customer service when it was activating the fan to late and they sent a replacement sensor...same result with the lame probe in the fins, so i tapped the radiator carefully with a cheap Harbor Frieght kit and its spot on at 180 degrees.

Man i love this build. Id deffinately doing something like this once i have the money
