Big Single Build

[Boost4VR4]

I am sticking with 5 speed until I break my 5 speed.

I'm hatin!

You so crazy!

I'm hatin!

You so crazy!

You would!

I am in the planning stages at this point.

kay, but lean more towards breaking it, and have a standby on hand when it does, as its a known failing point. Outside of that, goodluck! Can't wait to see your build/dyno results- keep us posted- and my avenger manifold fits like a glove btw, some have issues with emissions on the bottom, but when a few tabs are ground down, its perfect.


with the drivers side tb, I'm not sure if your master cylinder is in the same spot as a regular tt, BUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUT, heres another helpful tip for some possible design forsight

for the brake reservoir on top of the master cylinder- it will give you problems routing intercooler piping to that side of the engine bay, for clearance I actually used a remote mount reservoir off a dsm, they have barbed plugs that go into the cylinder, also if yours is like mine, you will have issues with the hardline on the end of the cylinder. I bought the abs delete from stm as an excuse for weight reduction, but honestly you can get away with having just one braided line made with a banjo fitting/bolt to go on the end of the cylinder- that gave me enough clearance for my 90 reducer elbow coupler from 3" to 2.75" as the tb points pretty much straight at the master cylinder. The other ways to get around this are to

A) weld the tb flange at an angle to bypass the mastercylinder

B) make an adapter tube that bolts onto the flange for the avenger and for our tb on the other end and to route our tb farther down- but that means more gaskets/more places to possibly leak.


heres pics of how i handled the brake reservoir on mine

you can see the edge of the tb in the pic, and how i used the flatter banjo fittings and the remote mount barbs/reservoir off a donor dsm for clearance as my 3000gt tb flange was litearally just welded to the plenum after the avenger flange was cut off.





also for manifolds, you could make some from a fabricator, or you can do these!

equal length, 304ss, hug the block and CHEAP!

they're 350z headers from ebay and inspected, mounted to 3000gt exhaust flanges from IPS motorsports- the runners linup dead on, you just need to weld them together




here you can see how they look in an engine bay mounted, pretty snug, and they're pretty ideal for anything mounted sideways off the block, like a single turbo.




hope this helps you to hash some ideas, I know these are the kind of things I wish someone told me when I got started on this, they would've made this go a LOT faster haha

I wont have many issues with the fitment of stuff, I have quite a bit of room to work with compared to DOHC engines. The only issue for me is the distributor is located where the TB would be and the brake master like you mentioned... That part needs some ironing out... I think if I route my piping down before the brake booster and then across to a FMIC core. The throttle cable would come straight out of the firewall and directly into the throttle body, I can get it to clear the everything OK. I would keep A/C and delete ABS.

Also the turbo is going to sit in a different location that everyone may think... It will be sitting in front of the large rad fan. I would switch the fan positions. I think I would remote mount the IAC in this setup.

Those auto trans cars are FAST!!

Really making me wish my car would have worked out and I could have added a turbo. There really is so much you can do the auto trans these have thanks to the DSM crowd.

FYI - Base/ES Stealths have no ABS.

[stealthee]

Some ES did have ABS, but not base that I have ever seen have ABS.

[arm0red1]

fyi, abs was only a thing to ditch off my car, and doing the 1 line gave me an excuse to get the abs delete. in his case, he can just replace the one line, the reservoir and go on living.

[Boost4VR4]

I pulled the ABS fuse, it most definitely has ABS it's a fully loaded base model.

Car is down until I fix it again, gotta love tensioner pullies flying off the car... Got a replacement pulley and new serpentine belts.

I picked up a 6G73 intake to try and toy with and see what I can make of it. I may keep the existing plenum, but just route the IC piping along the firewall. The reason I picked the 6G73 plenum is because it has a driver's side throttle body which is only to simplifiy my IC piping. This will most certainly require a custom fabrication to get to mount to the lower intake manifold. I am thinking of designing a special adapter plate to mount the 6G72 DOHC/6G73 intake plenum to the lower intake manifold on a SOHC. I think it can be achieved, it will be a decent amount of fabrication.
