Hmmm. Didn't know that. I'm slammed right now trying to get my new business off the ground. Maybe after summer.

Is it me but it seems to be a dead day on the forum. No matter, here's a dedication to Prince..
Shoot the J !!!!!

Game.... blouses

With my z now close to being finished I'm now looking for another project car. I've thought about possibly a muscle car so I could have the best of both worlds but knowing Toyota is coming out with a new supra I don't want to pull the trigger too soon on anything..

muscle flat plane crank rev to the moon

Should have some updates and pics up tomorrow... Lookout dyno queens, here comes some solid reliable hp with no hype or bs..

Blown Motor, Engine Rebuild/Replacement.
 

I like it:tup:

:stirthepot: :rofl2:

Yeah man a gt350 or a ls motor with twin 6466 turbo's..

Just picked up a used oem plenum and will be doing some r&d on it very soon. Knowing this plenum was made for a na car I believe there are always improvement's that can be applied if someone takes the time and patients. Also keep in mind plastic is a lot better than any metal for heat soak. If no gains are made no gains are made and a true independent review will be posted . This attempt will be to help FI applications and possibly na cars but I wouldn't count on it...
Knowing Motordyne has already done this with success,I'm still curious ..

Just an update, the motor is built and leak down test performed. Everything checks out and the motor should be going back in Monday...

A few pics before the motor went back into the car..

Was on a gtr forum the other day and noticed some tool trying to sell his 370z on there for over 100k. As I laughed my @ss off as they were giving him **** for claiming he broke all kinds of records with the car. He also said he would be willing to trade for a gtr. lmao!!!

So why did you go this route instead of getting a gtr?

After having many z car's I just like them, what a great platform to build off of. Plus I do a little real estate on the side and just can't justify spending 100k on a car when I could buy a house to flip for a modest profit. I have no where near that amount vested in my car and it's paid for anyway. :tup::tup:

Almost done guys, pics tomorrow!!!!!

Hope to have more pics soon...:ugh2:

Moar boost!

It's ALIVE!!!!!! Cranked up today but it was short lived due to not having the right spacer for my aftermarket csc...

Getting close to needing some therapy for a lack of boost since its been so long!!!! Is there such thing as a boost virgin? Hell Im ready to have my cherry popped again...

Thought I would throw out much thanks to bryan for taking on such a task like this one. And trust me there was a lot of mess to clean up from my old pal bobby. The communication with bryan has been spot on and he's a very easy person to work with and very straight forward. Highly recommend him to anyone looking to build or do anything for your z car...

Had a bit of a delay due to needing another bushing/spacer since I have the hd csc. Hopefully soon should be ready for some numbers. The bad thing is it is the heat of summer.. Based on that I'm not looking to break any records or anything, just ready for some BOOOST!!!

How long has your car been apart?

This time only 3 months..

Oh, I thought it had been down years. I must have missed you got it going.

No unfortunately the last guy who I paid to build my motor and turbo kit was a complete FAIL so I had to have it done all over again.. The last guy had my car for almost a year and now he is a vender on the forum that goes by the name of RJM, aka Robert bobby Ralston.. After blowing up a lot of motors he has finally decided to sell parts from other venders he has replicated throughout the years.

I'm waiting on a motor from IPP but was suggest to use RJM because he was close. I decided not to go that way because of your story!

I would build my own before I went through this mess. I could build it myself several times if I got it wrong for all the money that has been lost here.

IPP:tup:

You made a Very smart move going with IPP...:tup::tup:

I hope so, I'm using them and Seb to try to have the best I can and get back to the track! I've had the car 2 weeks in the last 10 months and I'm over it!

Best to stay away from any shops in tampa

Mind if I ask why in keeps going back to the shop?
I can honestly say that bryan from bbr has taken really good care of me. Great communication, updates almost daily, now consider he had to rebuild an entirely new engine and I'm having him do some top secret custom work for my new setup.. I would highly recommend him for anything and when I buy my next z or supra I'm sending it there for him to do his thing..:tup:

I trusted a shop that is big in GTRs that I thought was up to the task. At first the car was never being worked on because 100 GTRs were more important. When I finally got them working on it they sent it to their fab guy where it sat for 6 weeks and when it came back the hood couldn't shut. After going back to them for 3 more weeks it came back mid December. Over Christmas the shop owner fired the only guy that knew what he was doing and decided he was going to do all the work with a couple green assistants. It took him months to get it running right and for his friend to tune it. I had it home for a couple weeks and was on my way to Sebring for a track day when I got off the interstate on to a busy highway and stopped at a light in crazy traffic and the temps started flying up. By the time I could get it out of the road it died, the engine was done because of a leak in the radiator. I have it at a new shop now and so far they have their act together.

Is it forced induction? I'm guessing it had to be causing it to over heat. With mine I installed a thermostat from a g37 that opens 10 degrees sooner than the oem for the z and went an oversized radiator and a vent hood... Did you blow a head gasket and damage anything? heads?

It a Stillen supercharger, sad thing is I dropped it off running perfect. They changed it to air cooled and I had level 10 build the trans. I had hit something in the road a few weeks before I dropped it off. I'm guessing I damaged the radiator then but it hadn't started leaking yet or it started real small. I was running water and Water Wetter so I didn't smell it, I will be running coolant again until I know it's right. It didn't blow the head gasket but the head warped bad and the oil and water went around it.

It was a CSF triple pass radiator ( I don't believe it was their fault) and it has a vented Hot Wheels hood ( the biggest vents I could find) I also got the Stillen bumper so I could move the oil cooler and trans coolers away from the radiator. Before the leak the car always ran very cool.

Yeah it must have pin holed it somewhere and the heat just made it expand. I also have the csf but not the triple. So far so good on it not leaking but then again I don't track my car either..

It was where it attached to the passenger side end tank. It looked like the impact had pulled it out slightly. I did two sessions at Sebring the weekend before without any problems or signs of a leak. It must have have started leaking more why I was on the interstate but my wife was behind me and didn't see anything.

Just another quick update, transmission back on, turbo kit re-installed, bigger charge pipes being fabbed up this week and hopefully on the dyno next weekend... Like I said before I had to order a bushing for my hd csc and os giken twin clutch which held things up for a few days..
I'm now debating on buying a good lsd but don't want any additional noise. I have always thought of a lsd was mainly for drifting. Any thoughts?

I didn't realize my car had an open dif and it about caused me to crash the car into a wall at Sebring, if you do any hard cornering/ tracking it's much safer with a LSD.
