I did look into that the other day actually but for some reason decided against doing it. Can't remember why now... might have been space? Doesn't that pathfinder coolant pipe have a big lump half way through it?
@@ChrisDrift Ther main difference would be space under the lower plenum. There a short thermostat housing to add but that about it. There a coolant pipe to replace, but the space is the same. Can send pictures if you want. Thanks.
Would it be possible to place the turbos in between the V of the engine? Like how AMG does it with their 4.0l engine. Significantly shorten the distance the waste gasses have to travel before spooling the turbo, thus significantly reducing turbo lag. Would also give you more space below the engine (for the steering column).
if you mean kind of under the V on each side (a bit further forward and slightly higher than where I have them) then yeah that's where some of the twin turbo kits put them. Its still extremely tight for space and pretty awkward to get all of the intake and exhaust pipes to/from them though. Also means using a log manifold rather than an equal length tubular manifold (although mine didn't end up being quite equal length lol)
It wouldnt as AMGs have their exhaust ports to the inside of the V where the Z has the intake ports on the inside. Therefore turbos need to be on the outside.
@@ChrisDrift Yup that's impossible. Btw I'm really surprised your channel did not go viral yet. Videos are nice, quality is great, and contents are actually relaxing/entertaining! Keep it up Chris!
@@ChrisDrift nah man it's more than okay, I'm a beginner mechanic and watching your videos motivates me, for my own build. I enjoy and appreciate every minute you share
I tried it but it was just too awkward to get the camera into a position where it could actually see anything and have the mask in front of it and not be massively in my way lol
Awesome job on the 350Z, Chris! I'll definitely be back tonight to watch this in its entirety.
Mate those welds are actually looking decent, should be happy with it all
Looking good Chris. Can’t wait to see it up and running. Long way to go but good progress so far 👍🏻
Hey bro Good job on the build excited to see the end result. Keep it up :)
cheers!
It's getting there very nice Chris. Great job and thanks for the video. Keep up the good work!
I really like the twin turbo build videos
glad to hear :)
If you are looking for a great modification to help the cooling; the pathfinder cooling mod is easy to do
and can help a lot for the turbos.

You got the engine out. Pressure wash the engine and spray paint the long block?

@@kbleik ohh he did actually mean INSIDE the V then. Yeah that's not possible on this engine
@@ChrisDrift Yup that's impossible. Btw I'm really surprised your channel did not go viral yet. Videos are nice, quality is great, and contents are actually relaxing/entertaining! Keep it up Chris!
I had to take a longer work brake so I could watch this haha.
haha sorry, this one did end up being quite long

What turbos are you using?? What size?
So much more entertaining than a LS swap lol..
You better put a good oil pump for that turbo drains
what kind of steel u are using?
You should get a cheap non-auto welding mask to put in front of the camera for weld shots.

How to make ykur chassis weak do this
Lol how to massively over estimate how important a few extra bits of sheet metal are
I think that the turbos would have been more better fitted if they were closer to the manifolds
Nah would be even more of a nightmare
ChrisDrift I only got that idea cause the Greddy Twin Turbo kit, it looks so OEM fit. I could be wrong. You’re the expert here, not me haha.
It's 2am and I was confused as fuck as to why I couldn't find this video, then I realised I was searching for dedication blog 😥 RIP
Haha dead channel m8
early!!
Early bird catches the twin turbo worm
lmao 😂
3 into 1 was a good manifold to learn on for sure. Keep up the good work shoot me a dm on Instagram @cindertrackfabrication if you ned a pointers.
