This Fast Intentions exhaust is going back on my 370z. guess we'll know what a V8 sounds like through Fast Intentions exhaust. But first i'm going to polish it out.
Custom pan being made for the Z, way out of my swim lane. Letting the pros knock that one out.
Time to knock my pin on hood mould out! (I like the British spelling for mould). Composite Envisions still cranking out shipments, thank you. Their site says they are taking all the Covid-19 precautions while working and more importantly, I trust them they are. Their support staff has been great to deal with when ever I have questions or need assistance! Highly recommend!
Bolts came in for the flywheel. Tightened them down to spec, 85ft/lb, and managed to punch my head with an 85ft/lb thump...
The "big" 4L80e is in the Z. It fits no problem . TBH, stock 7AT is larger and blows up at 450hp. This one can hold about 1500.
Final layer for pin on hood mould. My safety gear is for fighting all the Covids of 19. * Edit * ... It needs two more layers...
Last leg of the night and done. Made room for turbo piping. ... I'm beat.
Took off the harmonic balancer, put it on, pulled it off, put it on --- then got my timing marks set up on the harmonic balancer and my @motionraceworks timing pointer. Why didn't I do it the first time I put it on? Squirrel... Moving on... I notched out an area for turbo plumbing. Welds will go where the missing pinch welds are. As far as the pin on hood goes, I need to put two more layers of fiberglass on... Heh. Thanks for all the help everyone!
Two 3" boost actuated dumps came in. At 5/6 lbs of boost my car will bypass the Fast Intentions 2.5" exhaust and switch automatically to open dumps near the turbo. This is the best of both worlds, quiet exhaust when cruising and open hells gates when I'm into the gas.

Caught my hand inbetween car frame and ratchet. Impact facilitated the hand crushing.
