JWT on 35

Most kits will use some form of a piggy back for fuel and timing. Even an Fcon is considered a piggy back because it does not do every single function pertaining to the motor functions.

Some of the lower priced and lower function piggy backs are split second, and unichip.
Middle ground piggy backs are fconis, utec
Upper ground piggy backs are fcon vpro, I think the Haltech is a piggy back as well.

The upper ones do a whole lot more than the middle and lower ones but idle and drive by wire I believe are still done by the stock ecu.

With our autos I think it is a bit more work to do a full motor and tranny swap. Technosquare did a 6mt conversion to a M35 but this used a 350z 6mt ecu and will not have the creature comforts it started with. G/Zs have the option of doing 6mt conversion but they can borrow from ecus within their own model line.
 
I'm awd so I would only consider a swap retaining the tranny. so even a stout big power fx still has all the creature comforts retained... big plus there over a swap.... is there such thing as a stand alone tranny ecu?
 
my main reason for considering a swap is after the tt setup, to make any more power the motors got to be built up, & from what I'm seeing so far, the limits are kinda low & the costs there are kinda high... with a LS2, I can pull off a swap at around the same cost & around the same power as the tt setup bolted on, but the room for expansion there is so much more wide open past that point, & in the end, I think I can make more power for less $$$ I'm just weighing options right now & any info I find I'll share for sure :smile:

Same turbo set up as the APS TT kits. For the APS extreme I recall pictures of the wastegates being welded shut.

So the internal wastegates are welded shut and they use external wastegates???

The APS extreme kit has flanges on the turbo manifolds for an external wastegate then?

Lastly, do you know what bolt/flange configuration the 530/700BB turbos have? I'll probably look into the APS extreme manifolds if they have a place to hook up external wastegates.

Looking at the APS site the manifolds look different than the standard kit in relation to the wastegates.

Yeah I see it now. Those are DEFINITELY external wastegates.

I *neeeeed* those manifolds :frown:

And if that is the turbo, T25 5-bolt flanges...

Unfortunately I don't see T25 5-bolt flanged turbos from Precision Turbos (also made by Garrett), but I'll see what I can do :embarrassed:

This should be the Garrett turbo used by JWT for the 700s. http://www.turbobygarrett.com/turbobygarrett/catelog/Turbochargers/GT28/GT2860R_707160_5.htm

So would this be the [SIZE=-1]GT2556R be the 530BB kit and GT2860R the 700BB kit?

I think I'm gonna end up using the JWT manifold and a pair of these same turbos for my kit Viet.

I don't like the layout of the JWT kit all that much, so I'm going to try a 2 air filter design and put the MAF in the LMS CAI (de-badged tube of course) and route that piping to a single-core LARGE intercooler like the GReddy kit

Thanks for your help. I can get the JWT manifolds for $550, I'll see if APS is willing to sell just the manifolds as well.
 
I'm wishing you good luck since I've heard horror stories about getting random parts from APS. Download the JWT instructions, the pictures may help with the potential fitment of the turbos or manifolds. If memory serves me correctly and it may not, the passenger side turbo out is the pipe that needed some modification when it went on the G35X.
 
Sweet, the only thing I planned on using JWT for was the turbo manifolds themselves. The downpipes from the turbos were gonna be custom made anyways.

Gonna see if an APS dealer can get me a set of manifolds only, if not I might take up the JWT guys on their offer... $550 for a set of manifolds.
 
This is a really interesting thread.. I saw john's for sale add so I went around the site looking for info and ended up here.

So any updates with your projects guys?
 
Well for now I still have the same supercharger John has, without the 928motorsports upgrades. It would be very easy to get going again with that now that I have injectors, Walbro fuel pump and UTEC, but as John's post says it's limited to 6.5-7psi. My motor can take MUCH more than that, but my tranny probably can't handle the added torque on a daily basis.

The manifolds thing didn't work out so well, that's why I scrapped that idea. Single turbo would be ideal, but the damn AWD transfer case and whatnot tend to get in the way of just about every turbo kit. :mad:
 
Wow. So the transfer case it's too weak for all the extra torque added up from the turbo ?is there any way to improve/replace the transfer Case with a better aftermarket one, in order to solve that problem.. I know it's a dumb question but I'm just trying to learn more about all this .. As I said before I read this thread and I got very interested on it.

Thank you,

Jonathan.
 
Not sure if Frank is talking about the internals of the transfer case or the case itself. Cube??? I am pretty sure even an awd can handle some good power properly built.
 
in a way, awd can be a help, at least as far as driveshafts, axles & difs go. with rwd all the power is being put to the ground with just the 2 rear wheels, where in awd, the rear wheels are just seeing little more than half that power on the launch, which is where most drivetrain parts get the most abuse. half as much torque to each wheel, driveshaft, each axle, load distributed more & these driveline parts wil see much less abuse because they are sharing the load...

as far as tranny, that'll see the same load awd or rwd...& transfer case.... honestly have no idea what it's limits are... hope to not find it's breaking point really:tongue:
