Yeah I miss my 350 single turbo and Tial BOV. That thing would pop off LOUD! But a good loud..not some cartoony loud HKS crap.

How about the intake sound? In the video it sounds like it was about to suck your fenders right up your intakes..lol..

Yeah...he's still got 2 psi to go.

Being that the bovs are outside the engine bay. They should be a lot more enjoyable with the Windows down vs inside the semi sealed engine bay.

do you have that same video without the music? :ughdance:

The intake sound is amazing. I will get some flyby videos for you guys soon.

With the windows down the BOVs sound amazing!

Yes I do I can upload it later. Also see my other video on my youtube channel running a different canyon with no music. For some reason when I uploaded the video it seems like the music is louder then when I was editing it in Imovie :confused:

im all for some sweet EDM, but i wana hear the car!!!!! :D

I like the wheels on that r8. Hook it up Tony! :D

I got a great update from Seb at SpecialtyZ this morning. He said:

"So far we've installed the Whiteline Diff Bushings, Eibach rear sway bar, clutch and flywheel, new rear main seal, driver side exhaust manifold, turbo is mounted on that side, fuel pump, fuel injectors, spark plugs, OEM intake manifold, TBs swapped, water lines deleted on the TBs, Boost controller and wideband gauge are mounted." :happydance:

He is hoping to get more done and the engine back in place next week. If you want to see picture of the progress, check it out on their Facebook site https://www.facebook.com/pages/Specialty-Z. It's just awesome knowing its going to happen anytime...boooooost!:p

More to the update. We are working on your 3" Down Pipes and recirculated wastegates as well. Your car and nklear's should be on the dyno back to back.

Thanks, Tony

Tony, thanks...that is awesome!!!!!! I hope you guys will take some video...this is when it's hard to be 5hrs away!

:tup:

Dont forget about mine ;)

I am sure there will be video! Trust me, you are going to fall in love with your Z all over again!

Link doesn't work :confused:

Fixed :tiphat:

Yep. That's better. :tiphat:

Tony, did you find a spot for a tow hook? It doesn't have to be factory, as long as there's a tow hook somewhere in the front.

I am sure they will come up with something for you!


Edit: Put another 130 miles on the car today. Running VERY strong @ 8PSI.

Sorry if I missed this, but did you get numbers @ 8?

Not exactly but I would guess somewhere in the 480WHP range maybe a bit more in the cold weather. I cant imagine this thing at 10PSI on 100 octane.

^you should link your build thread in your sig. anytime I see you post somewhere I wanna go look at the thread for any updates!:tup:

Little flyby video for you guys. Also includes a EVO X, EVO VIII, and a WRX.

Some 2nd-3rd gear pulls. I will make some more soon at night so the gauges are easier to see and I will also angle the GoPro down a bit more.




Edit: The car was making just under 8PSI on these runs with the warmer temperatures. Tony, is it dyno time yet? :excited:

Yes, I'd like two snails, please. Hold the slow.

What tires are you using? And bring it to a drag strip! :D

305/30 michelin PSS's. The car went 11.43 @ 124

11.43 on PSS?

Ordered the plate today! :happydance::happydance::happydance:

You Sir, ARE A TEASE! :excited:

I thought the PSS's were changed out for MT street/drag radials on 18" rims! :icon14:

Sorry for the confusion! I was posting from my phone. That is correct, the car went 11.43 on a 265 MT ET street radial. It could probably go 11.7-11.9 on these tires with good prep. These tires hook a lot better than I was expecting.

Have you tried the re-11s...if so how do they compare?

Not yet, but from what I hear they are a great tire. I will most likely try something different on my next set.

Michelin Pilot Super Sport - Great Street Tire, Okay on the track

Bridgestone RE-11 - Great Track Tire, Okay on the street

interesting...what is your definition of "okay"

They will each handle just fine, just that you will be able to see their strengths/weakness' at each one.

PSS' are great for street, but getting them on a track at temps, they get a bit greasy.

RE11's are great for the track, superb grip, but on a street you really don't get them into their comfort zone.

**A Subjective assessment of course.

I am a big fan of the Toyo Tq's. Great tire for Higher HP cars. They are not the best for cornering and are sketchy when switching lanes fast. In a straight line these tires hooooook. I believe these tires are capable of a 10sec track time with a 570-600whp Z. If you want a more all around tire the R888's are great. Charles (Phunk) has been running the Tq's on his daily driven 370z and we have not noticed any wear after 5K miles or so. This is even with a drag day and a bunch of burnouts on the street.

My experience with the Re-11's was very short. I sold them within a month on my 350. If your looking for traction these tires are not at the top of my list.

The only down fall to the Tq's are they only come in a 18" wheels size and a 315 width. The R888's have a more verity in sizes.

I was 30 seconds away from doing a large update and somehow my browser window closed on me. Crash and burn! Update coming shortly.

Thanks, Tony

I hit like, but meant dislike.....FAIL Tony!

You're telling me! I wanted to put my fist through the computer! I put an hour in on that and gone in one click. Nevertheless, almost done, again!

Copy and paste so your time's not a waste. :)
