G37S GTM Stage 2 Twin Turbo Build by Project X

Well, it has finally come time to boost my G! I have gone back and forth over the forced induction options over the years as I got the G to the aesthetic level that I wanted and finally came to the decision that twins were the right choice for me over a supercharger setup or any other, and that GTM's stage 2 would be the system of choice.

This build is currently in progress and the hope is to have this done by the this Saturday but there is more than a small chance that this may run a bit longer.

Project X was the only place I would even consider for this job. They honestly treat each build like it is thier own car and are honestly just a great group of guys to be around as I have got to know them over the years.

Back to the build:
-GTM stage 2 twin turbo kit on my 6mt G
-Setrab 19 row oil cooler
-Spec twin disk Clutch/flywheel
-CSC upgrade
-CSF radiator upgrade
-Art Test Pipes
-HKS Camp 2 digital monitoring

On to the pics:

Just a heads up, but it was my understanding that the ART pipes, were not designed for turbo applications, might want to double check that info, but would be good to know while it's all apart.

Was under the same understanding.

The HKS camp 2 is a great choice however I couldn't find one unfortunately. Went with the Greddy Informeter with all the additional sensors, harnesses and adapters. Hopefully it'll work out...my first choice was the Camp 2.

Do you remember where you read/heard this or why they would not be a good match?

I will look into it further for sure tomorrow and see what I can find.

Haha, I would be very concerned if that were the case as well but yeah they have lifts there. I guess I just did not snap any pics while the car was up in the air for certain parts.

Man, I'm nervous about the pipes now d@mnit!

And yes I was very fortunate to have a very good friend sell me his Camp 2 a while back when he parted out.
