Default GrooveStyle's Build

Hey guys, I'm on the verge of starting my turbo build, so thought it would be a good time to start a thread outlining my plans and tracking progress on the install of my Gamma V3 Turbo kit. Having had some time waiting for the kit, I had already installed some supporting mods, but not all. See below:

Car:
2012 370z 6MT

Goals:
I'd like to hit 500whp at around 10 psi on pump gas and without building the motor. Haven't seen a ton of data on this kit, but I think I should be able to get into the ballpark? I also want to do all the work myself except tuning. Bonus points if I can do it without dropping the motor!

Already installed (in order of installation):
-Motordyne E370 catback
-Swift springs
-20mm H&R spacers all around
-Whiteline front/rear swaybars
-Defi red racer boost, oil temp, and oil pressure gauges (powered only)
-Custom pillar gauge pod for Innovate AFR gauge (not wired yet)
-ZSpeed Stage III daily clutch kit with 19lb flywheel, HD CSC
-Whiteline diff bushings

Progress from those components were logged on a local Iowa forum:
Luke's 370z Journal


Now for the turbo plans, muahahahahahaaaaa

Gamma V3 Turbo Kit:
-Turn-key kit
-GT2860RS Turbos, 0.86 turbine housings
-Internal wastegates
-Uprev Tuned

Purchased supporting mods:
-GTR spark plugs (1 step colder than stock)
-Z1 test pipes
-Z1 urethane motor mounts
-48 Row Tru-Cool Oil Cooler / Mocal thermostatic sandwich plate
-Summit fuel pump relay kit
-Greddy Profec OLED boost controller

Lots of pictures to come!
