I would love to get this done and hit the track but we'll see...

I can't remember all the parts I purchased but I still need a FPR and a turbo. I always had the idea of dual singles in parallel. One for each rotor. Yes, duals have been done before but not in this fashion. I beleive Porsche and MBZ have a similar setup (one for each of 3 cylinders).

I'm posting beforehand to get advice, so I don't have to redo or purchase and swap parts already installed. I had planned on converting my Apexi FMIC to a V-Mount but if Herblenny lets me buy a copy of his kit, i'll go with that instead.

CPR ported engine
850/1300 on stock rails
Skyline GTR fuel pump (not directly wired)
No FPR, was going to do Synaps to mount on manifold and sold Sard
Rear cubby mounted battery
OMP removed and blocked
HKS twin amp
New wire harness converted for single turbo
R1 oil coolers to replace single 24 row Mocal
PFC with boost controller (Tuned for 12lbs)
HKS plugs and new NGK wires

I'm not sure what else i'm forgetting. I'm not sure if i'm going to trailer it to TriPoint or ship it to A-Spec. Seeking advice from the OG's.

 

I tried to go that route but gave up on it. Fabricator lagged too long (years). I had twins, even had a twin core v-mount (1 per turbo). I'm still trying to make it to this Sevenstock (bought an FD two months ago). This one is mostly stock, just rebuilt with new housings, street port, Iannetti ceramic apex seals, Racing Beat 9 lbs flywheel and Exedy stage 2 clutch. I'll try to dig up pictures for you of the turbo set up. You're in Anaheim?

 

That sounds pretty close. My idea was two M2 GT30 sized with attached waste gate per rotor. I makes absolutely no sense to use two GT35 sized turbos as one is enough for both rotors. So not even Border Racing did it correctly. Dual inlet inter cooler or dual inter-coolers. Dual exhaust all the way to the tail pipes.

Well, if you remember which bolts mate the trans to the block i'll buy you lunch. Trying to find the manual now. I am beyond giving up. I'm forcing myself to do this. I don't even have a turbo. I have negative enthusiasm. My 350Z is 315hp stock with 9.5's & 10.5's and i've put more miles on it in 10 months then my RX7 in 10 years.

Found an old CD backup. So pg 57 man trans section, bolt length; A = 55mm/2.2" B = 90mm/3.5" but not pictures. The bolts I found have the threads don't go all the way back but I see threads on the block holes. I think I lost or misplaced parts.

 

Its been done before. Several times actually. Howard coleman ran 2 t04e's with ATP ultimate waste gates and made 500 some odd hp at 23 psi or so. FDmuri has a twin gt28rs set up going, and I believe Curacaosfinest also has an independent twins set up. I've looked into independent twins and so have others. From what has been noticed, a good single set up is just as good. There is minimal spool difference, less room, more complication, twice the plumbing, and about the same power output in the end.

Do some more searching and you can make your own decision. I personally think its kick *** because its different. But that's about all I'll give it until someone can prove otherwise.

I've seen Howard Coleman's twin setup, have talked to him in deatil and it is not the same. None of those you mentioned are what I was talking about. It has to be completely seperate and t04e is too large for half the engine.

Do some more research, seriously? Hew newbie don't post in my thread again, thank you

 

Need some trans bolts. If anyone has some, please let me know. I have the week off and waiting 10 days means a waste of time. My car has been down for over a year so I can't go through Mazda Motorsports.

 

Wow way to down talk someone for something as lame as post count. All the people I named are using gt28 equivalents which are smaller than your specified gt30s. Good luck getting your gt30s to spool at any decent rate running on one rotor each. The only difference you specified is running a two rotor engine and treating it as two one rotor engines. As in each rotor has its own individual intake, exhaust, turbo, waste gate, intercooler, etc. Again, you'll have a minor problem with unequal length exhaust manifolds but otherwise I still think its way to complicated and this will gladly be my last post in your thread.

 

A couple of questions:

1. FPR - AEM 25-302BK or Aeromotive 13129?
2. When using KSP/Attain or GZ/Excessive intake manifold can the stock rail be retained?
3. Which solenoids need to be retained? ...I'd like to get rid of all of them.

Set backs:
Need nuts (acorn or open) for intake manifolds.
Need FPR
Need thermostat (no one has them in stock)
Waiting for V-Mount to be made
Could not install Attain Spherical solid mounts and had to use euro thane ones.
Waiting for A-Spec GTX35R replacement kit.

My Apexi FMIC and Fluidyne are going up for sale as I want to retain A/C and car is dual purpose and not track only. If you are in OC I can possibly deliver.

 

Received a reply from Excessive Motorsports (excellent customer service). I can send the stock rail, they will modify and ensure it fits.

I mocked up most of the engine pieces and had fitment issues. The aluminum filler neck holes are too far apart even using the provided screws. I'm not just if the neck holes in the center iron is inconsistent and that's why the OEM filler neck has such big holes and the screws use washers or if the holes were drilled offset as they are not centered on the wings or if the weld is just too big and the aluminum piece which pushed the holes outward. ...if you had the same issue and resolved it, please reply.

The *bay elbow (Greddy knock off) holes are off also. I should have test fit it as it's way too late to send back now. I would have to oval the holes to use it. Sometimes trying to save money costs you more money.



Still waiting on:
Custom v-mount kit
GTX35R replacement for blow GT500

 

Taking "FOR SALE" offers.
Please don't insult me if you actually want a response and don't waste my homework time. This cars literaly cost me $100,000.00 ...yes, I know it's not worth that. No, that's not what i'm asking.

Currently no turbo. Paid deposit on trade in and rebuild but never received replacement. I have no idea if I could carry over the credit to the new owner.

 

No turbo. No update. What happened to A-Spec?

 

I don't think I can afford the twin single project allthough RotaryExtreme makes a FMIC that would save custom build costs. Since I will never get my money back or my turbo from A-Spec, i'll have to look at other options including selling the car as is.

Anyone have a good idea on a turbo kit? HKS Japan is way too expensive.

 

Any thoughts on A HKS T04S ($1k cheaper then T04Z), since A-Spec won't return my calls, E-mails or refund?

The V-Mount is a good price right now. I don't want to rely on any fabrication or I would move forward with the dual single GT28's.

 

I don't think I can afford a completely new turbo kit, manifold, DP, exhaust, ECU, fuel, etc. So I think i'm going to put all of my cars up for sale. I have the HKS V-Mount unboxed as well as the water injection kit.

Is it worth completing to sell? Unless my truck get sold, it does me no good to buy the turbo anyway. I'm not sure if selling the CPR engine and dropping in a Canadian or JDM engine is even worth it either. Not in CA, anyway.

 

So, i've had a brand new HKS V-Mount in the hatch for a year. I thought I posted pictures.

I've also had a brand new (guess) radiator kit for 6 months, which I just opened today.

Sorry about not answering PM's as I don't get notified. Yes, I still have parts and possibly would sell the entire engine bay including HKS v-mount if the price equaled a E-ROD 450hp LS3. No I never received a refund, replacement turbo or apology from ...don't want to get in to that. I am also considering selling the car as is.

Anyhow, here's the pics...
