Thanks for watching!!

[@blackpsalmmusic9180]

Those log style turbo manifolds are impossible to find, trying to get one for my VG33et swap and of course only relocation pipe is available :( long live the z31 beautiful car brotha

[@samwashere1392]

The stock driver side turbo manifold? I got mine like 4 years ago lol. Was just keeping my eyes open watching eBay and the Facebook groups. You might be able to find a local fab shop that could weld one up that’s similar to stock?? Thank you!! I’m tryin got keep it alive 🤣

Thank you for taking the time and letting us know everything you did to have this great result. Did you test the car on the dyno?

[@samwashere1392]

It has not been on a dyno yet. I was scheduled for a dyno tune in August but got covid a few days before so i couldnt make it. Im hoping to get it dyno tuned in the next month or 2 but if not maybe Ill be able to get some pulls at a dyno day or something

[@Filthy_Goblin_44]

curious on your thoughts on the hy35 over the hx 35, seems to make about the same amount of power yet is supposed to spool almost as quick as the stock t3. Also I'm pretty sure it comes from factory with the 3 inch exhaust from the turbine. If you had to do it over would you choose a different setup like hy35 or a t3/t4 combo?

[@samwashere1392]

So I don’t really know a lot about turbos… On lot of the old forums and posts people used the hx35 so I know it was more or less “tried and true”. I think there’s 2 versions on the hx35 on with 6 compressor blade and one with 7 (I think) the one with more blades was supposed to be marginally better so that’s the one I tried to get ended up getting the one with less blades (eBay ftw) From what I read the hy35 might be slightly smaller so I could spoil a little quicker. But might not make same max power (whatever that may be) **on my street tune (timing maps probly nowhere near close to where they need to be)** My hx 35 depending on gear can start to boost around 2800 and hits max wg pressure of about 11psi around 3500. If I had to do it again I would try a different turbo. The hx35 I got was about $100 on eBay. But from what I read there are more efficient ball bearing turbos (replicas/eBay specials😉) in the $300-$400 range. I need to do a lot more research but I’ll be looking for a ball bearing turbo that may be slightly smaller. These are some of the ones I want to research: BW s362sxe Gtx3076r Pt5858 Vsr5855 GT35 GT3582r Vs6162

[@coryfambro7735]

The hy spool quicker...good for a little over 400whp. The HX is more like a gt35r and it will get you close to 500whp at 20psi

[@coryfambro7735]

The nistune board can be purchased on the nistune website.

[@erikrouse887]

Thanks for the info. Did You test the car on the dyno?

[@samwashere1392]

I have not put it on a dyno yet.. if I have to guess..some where around 260hp I was just able to pull on my friend in a 2005 wrx with boltons and access port.

Z31 lovers....can anyone help me out? I have the 86 model and the digital dash was working, but no gas reading. So I decided to go to the rear of the car and remove the FSU to clean it, in hopes of getting the entire dash cluster working, but to my surprise, I went to turn the key to see if If that helped, but I ended up losing my entire cluster. I checked all fuses, and all ground wires and it still wont come on. If i had another cluster power box i could check that theory as well but a used cluster power box is 400 to 750 bucks. Thats highway robbery

[@samwashere1392]

check the digi dash power supply under the driver kick panel. you can try to re solder the main connector points. ive got an earlier video on that. but $500 for a working one is about the going rate. check the facebook groups and theres people you can send it to to get fixed, i think its about the same price tho around $350 idk

[@samwashere1392]

If the ECU has the nistune board installed, yes you can just load a base tune (.bin file) for a naturally aspirated engine. I installed the turbo manifold and then bought a flange and wheeled a custom down pipe to go from the turbo manifold to the front of the cat.

[@Dookieandsons]

@@samwashere1392 no man I don't have an Instagram I just have my KZbin channel and my n i s t u n e is brand new type 1 daughterboard from past power innovations and no it is brand new I grabbed the ECU out of the donor car that I got the rest of my stuff out of and it is not installed I need to figure out how to install it or have someone do it but I might just go ahead and put the turbo on rather than try to use the turbo flange I just want to make sure I'll have the car able to run I don't want to tear it up by putting the turbo on but I don't want the car down too long either I would like to be able to put what I can on and have it running again and then just do little spurts at a time of work because it is my daily driver if I could just get my V8 blazer running real fast then I could park the z but I still don't want it down very long I just want to do small stuff at a time but I need to do something with the turbo ECU and get it ready where I can put the fuel injectors in and the fuel pump

[@samwashere1392]

@@Dookieandsons kind of hard to follow what your asking? If you have a stock turbo ECU you can use that with stock turbo injectors only. If you have bigger injectors you will need to use the Nistune ECU and at a minimun set the K value to get it running. I would not advise daily driving it with out getting it professionally tuned. Just to be clear, you have: 1) the NA ECU in your car not that its running on 2) a turbo ECU from a donor car and 3) a Nistune ECU from past power???

[@Dookieandsons]

@@samwashere1392 no actually what I'm asking is can I run the n i s t u n e and my new 550 CC injectors and my wall broke 450 fuel pump before installing the turbo or can I run the ECU with the NIS to you any installed with my factory injectors and fuel pump but just the n i s t u n e installed in the ECU will my car run naturally aspirated with the turbo ECU if the n i s t u n e is in it will it run naturally aspirated with the injectors and fuel pump or will it run. Actually aspirated with the turbo ECU as long as then n i s t u n e is in it what I did is get the stock turbo ECU out of the donor car that I got to crossmember and mounts and alternator bracket and everything else from then Zach Barnett from past power renovations sent me that $250 n i s t u n e type 1 daughter board that has to be soldered to the ECU my current ECU that's been in the car for 20 years I thought was a stock ECU my car I noticed recently the injector wiring had been butchered and I got to looking it up and realized my car had had the injectors done under the recall but then I got down in the ECU and seen that it said python injection on the ECU I've done a little research but couldn't figure out what python ejection is other than somewhere I seen that python injection takes the stock ecu's and rebuilds them I was trying to find out if they were tunable I still have not found any other info on python injections he see you this is the only one I've ever seen and it's the one my car is currently running on I want to put my walbro 450 in I want to put my injectors in out thought I was going to do my crossmember first and then get the car back driving then I was going to do the fuel pump one weekend and get the car back driving but then I thought about I have an ECU that I'm driving on and I have the one that I need the daughter board solder to so could I put the ECU in and then start playing with the injector swap and the PAllnet billet fuel rails and my 550cc Denso g35 injectors one weekend if I could do it this way and then do the turbo last I'm just looking at the least downtime all at once I would like to slowly do it if I can possibly do it that way because I really do drive the car a whole lot and your car is really nice I almost bought one that was that color not long ago from a guy that was all original and ran really good he sold it to a geek monster for $1,500 in the guy ran it like it was a race car and blew it up and then went to jail in it and I haven't seen it since it's in an impound yard I so wish I could have got my hands on it before he got it but I love my gold one and it has a hell of a story and I've had four of these cars in my life I had a 87 that was stolen when I was in a wheelchair with a brokeback in 2010 I had an 84 Datsun four lug slick top five speed it was silver two-seater five speed I loved it my dad took it from me when I was a teenager and sold it then I had a white 85 automatic turbo it was white with burgundy interior it had back seats in an automatic but it was turbo and I hated the car it looked like a old man's z it just didn't even really seem like a real sea to me LOL I think my gold naturally aspirated that I'm driving now is faster than that automatic turbo was lol please help me to get my car running you've done a really good job with yours and I have everything to do it from the oil drain from the oil supply to the alternator bracket there's nothing I didn't get there's only one thing that I can think of I have the whole intercooler piping kit I have blow off valve I have everything six a n fuel linesAnd evil energy fuel filter that fits the fuel lines got the fuel rails the injectors the oil supply the oil drain the bung for the oil pan the cross members the alternator brackets complete intercooler kitThe only thing I can think of I don't have is the piece of pipe the blow off valve boats to that goes in the intake plumbing I don't know if I said that right but you know what I mean but anyways thank you in advance and I've got to go to bed I've got to work tomorrow please help me get my car boosted and if you have decals that rep your channel I would definitely Rock them and advertise for you even though I have my 1lowz decals on each side of my car and about to be on my windshield and my channel decals are on my mom's Nissan Altima and a few other cars around the city I'm fixing to make shirts and a cartoon version of me standing in front of my car LOL shorts hats keychains you know but comment subscribe but anyways help me out and I love the z if it's not a z it's got to be a 05 Infiniti g35 that's the only cars I like other than a z
