Thank you sir.

My biggest problems now are

1) Sway bar/accessory belt clearance

2) Finding a low profile fan that will still provide decent cfms

3) When I sit in a lot of traffic/dyno my external fuel pumps overheat.

The car's been amazing otherwise

 

Did you try speaking with someone at CSF regarding the fans? I'm sure they can probably direct you to somewhere that will have one or build one to your spec.

 

Have you considered actively cooling the fuel pumps with some generic heat sinks and fans? What symptoms occcur when they overheat? I'm curious. Is there no in-tank dual pump solution that you can come up with? I've seen people make their own quite easily in the dsm/evo world.

 

Yeah that is in the pipeline. An Aluminum Radiator with maybe Flex-a-lite fans or something along these lines. Tight engine bay doesn't help either.

I had a custom intank setup made locally and it didn't work very well. All sorts of fuel starvation. CJM has dual pump setup for the Z's but no confirmed fitment on G37 so I had to do an external setup. I didn't want to throw it in the boot and ruin it, so it's sitting under the car at the time being between FI Mufflers. Not sure I'd be able to fit any cooling setup down there.

 

Ah okay. I wanna see if I can find a picture of the in-tank assembly. Is there any on the forum? Or perhaps you have pics of yours while it was out of the tank? This kind of stuff interests me highly!

 

I'll spare you the long intro's. The weather's getting nicer and I decided to put her on the dyno see how she'es doing:

She put down 485whp @ 0.9bar (low boost setting) and 615whp @ 1.6 bar (high boost setting). The car actually saw 1.7 bar when I datalogged it on the street. NOT COMPLAINING

Here's a screenshot of the High boost run. Was too excited to adjust the Torque Axes Scale but you get the picture.



I got too excited on the road and with all the boost the charge pipe eventually came off, thinking of just welding that fcker in:



And here's a video of me pretending like I knew what I was doing haha

 

What a smooth power curve. ...

 

Took a few runs and countless OCD haha

 

Try scaring the end of the charge pipe or weld a lip on so it doesn't blow off as easy v clamps ftw tho

 

Forgive my ignorance but what do you mean by scaring the end of the pipe?

 

What i did for my boy's car was i took a grinder or a dremel and made the end pipe surface rough so it won't be smooth. Gave the coupler a harder time coming off.

 

That's probably not the best idea because you're reducing the total smooth surface area for the coupler to grab. If you keep the pipe smooth and spray something sticky on the pipe and coupler (like hairspray) it will hold better but really the best solution is to tack weld some raised spots on the end of the hard pipe for the clamp to butt up against so it cant slide. Or even better a bead roller. Here's a google image search showing a few different solutions and even tools to do the job: https://www.myg37.com/forums/**************/5G22o1

The vice grips is one i've heard many people using in the past to make their own pipe beads.

 

Yeah I think that's what my shop is doing as we speak. He's putting a 2bar guarantee too haha

 

I like this build. Very unique and still sounds like a g37 after that swap.
Have you got some quarter mile runs in?

 

Thank you sir, I kept two FI mufflers for that purpose. You can definitely tell a difference between it and a VQ in person though.

I'm organizing a drag night in January, will get a few runs in
