Ok so a lot of sh!t has gone down with this car since i last updated the thread.
In order of occurence:
1. Went to get timing belt job done. Motor was compression tested again. Numbers were about 145-155 in all cylinders except number 6, which had 100psi, and had oil in it. The car still pulled hard but instead of spending the money on a timing belt job/120k svc on an old 140k motor, i figured it was better to just cut my losses and (blah blah blah, lots of anger and frustration) get a rebuilt motor.
I decided to ship the car to Ztuner in Sarasota Florida. He is one of the best Builders/tuners for the z32 in the country and i felt really comfortable working with him. So what originally was just supposed to be a buy and drive (After a little maintenance) car, was now turning into a full build, with lots of upgrades because... as long as i was getting a built motor, theres about 10000 other things to get 'as long as you're at it'
Almost everything OEM in terms of hoses and anything that would wear is getting replaced so i wont bother listing all the oem parts that are getting replaced since no one cares. As far as upgrades are concerned.
Built longblock with Weisco pistons. (stock rods and crank are forged in the 300zx twin turbo)
Jim Wolf 530BB turbos (ceramic coated)
Mike Smith Cast manifolds (Ceramic coated)
Stainless steel turbo oil lines
Nismo 740cc Injectors
3" Super split downpipes
3"-2.5" resonated test pipes
(keeping my 2.5" specialty Z exhaust)
RPS Max Street clutch
Blitz SBC ID2 (dual solenoid Boost controler
USP Underdrive Pully+belts
Greddy Side Mount intercoolers
As of now. The motor is done. The turbos and manifolds are getting coated, and next week the engine is coming out of my car and things start getting put back together. The car should be done in the begining of june. Based the upgrades i'm going with the car will make 450whp with similar torque numbers at 18psi on 93 octane.
Also getting the engine dressed up a little. Plenum is getting powder coated flat black and the valve colvers red. another customer is getting the same scheme, so this is some quick shots. this motor doesn't have the upper plenum installed obviously (this is NOT my motor, just the same color scheme)
