Nice . Good luck with your build. Sounds like the money you are putting into this thing is going to be well worth the wait. A turbo charged Z, when working correctly, is a f'ing blast.

Yes very unnerving to see the car in pieces and thinking the warranties are no good for you here. But keeping the dream alive to have a Z Beast. One thing is for sure glad to see the old exhaust get an upgrade

Day 2 of the build
the engine is out, tapping a couple of holes.
new manifolds going on. new clutch is installed
this is a tight fit but is going to be so sweet!

Most Twin turbo builds are done that way.

It's a lot easier to install if you drop the motor.

actually according to Sam they typically leave the engine in for the TT kit, we discussed it when I did my own install.

Seemed alot eaiser going drop the engine route as the new clutch was going in also. The mechanic also said he did a 350z with no engine drop and it was a pain in the ***

That is interesting as every shop I have talk to drops the motor for ease.
Though the kit is designed for the engine to be left in and installed, there is even a DIY on the forum of it. :tup:
