JZX Build: Power

Alright I did all of this quite awhile ago now so I’ll probably be leaving a bit out simply due to my bad memory.
Like most people I got bored during the 2020 lockdowns and decided to do a power build on the JZX. 

I went with the GCG “bolt-on” gtx3076 kit which apparently had its fitment issues resolved. 

It hadn’t lol. It requires modification to the water hardline to clear the actuator though I’d recommend just going a different turbo saving yourself some money and headaches


So I removed the IWG, chopped the bracket as it still fouled

And welded the IWG flap

Then acquired a 6boost manifold with a 50mm gate

It fits now at least… If I knew this was going to happen then I would’ve just bought a manifold and turbo from the get go with vband.

I’d made the hot pipe and intake while waiting for the manifold too

Cheese toastie and coffee break

Fabbed up a screamer pipe



Next up was the BOV. Haven’t run a BOV since my evo thought it would’ve been a nice touch on this since gtx’s don’t flutter a lot

Mocked up fitment and used a dab of paste to check bonnet clearance

Went ahead and cut a hole in the cooler pipe

Precut notch butted up pretty well

It all welded up really well too. Think this is the best aluminium weld I’ve ever done visually

Everything finished up and ready for tuning

Final results. Sort of regret not pushing it harder since there was more headroom but overall happy with how it drove
