Honestly, what you were able to do and write about on here has been fun to watch and if it costs me a cup of coffee then I'm in. I'd like to see how this turbo and motor combo develop. I know it's a hard sell to ask for money so you can hot rod your car around, but people on here would get it. Who knows you could literally raise dozens of dollars! Just saying'.
I really appreciate the thought! Anything could help and I might consider this if my funds don't allow me to fix this car by Feb/March.

Thank you!

You're knocking on the door of offering a mild turbo kit that uses stock GTR parts (reliability, QC), for way less than what's currently out there. You'd have to supply the manifold, downpipe, intercooler, and intake pipes. Customer sources the fuel and tuning. Just a thought...
I would love to do this but the problem is the initial cost for a single kit like that. I like the idea though especially since my friends broken VQ laying around in my backyard (Fabricate piping on it)




Currently the car is still running fine, but i'm scared of driving it because of the eventual bearing spinning out. I do have all my gauges and flex fuel wired in.

I do have some good news for you guys though! I was reading through the Ecutek guide the other day only to discover that using the GT-R map sensor on a Z makes it read 0.23 bar too high when logging it.

I finally got a boost gauge and my car makes 8.5~ PSI at around 5500 then drops to less than 7 PSI near redline!

It finally makes sense why I made 460~ WHP 375 WTQ
