Tturbo370z 800whp build thread
 

This has been long over due and decided I would give this a shot. Being that I have learned so much and gotten ideas from other members I have decided to share a little myself.

Quick little history. After having a stock 2009 for 3yrs I decided to use the money I pulled out of savings for having a baby using IVF and spent it on a GTM stage 2 twin turbo set up for my Z :wtf2: As u guessed it the wife was pissed but I knew this was my last chance to roll like Paul walker and vin deisel F&F style.

I was told to go to Intense Power and u guessed it, they messed my car up bad.
I then a few months later sent it to GTM. I figured if the guys who made the turbo kit couldn't get it right then the car was done for. Wrong! Long story short tens of thousand of wasted dollars later and 17ish mos at GTM I pulled the car and had seb at specialty Z completely reinstall the turbo kit and did an amazing job. What's weird is not only was he honest and reasonable he was GOOD too. So I want to thank seb at specialty Z for making this car drivable and for me to be able to enjoy something i was beginning to hate.

Parts list to date. Im gonna do my best as I has never made this list until now haha there was plenty of things that have went on and off the time GTM was trying to make the car workable but this is the end result as of now.

I will edit this as I remember parts I have on there

This is a picture of the HKS evc6 and Apexi din gauge. It's was custom molded in by someone GTM used when it was there. The Apexi gauge displays water temp oil temp and oil pressure.

This shows the defi gauges in the stock location. Somewhere along the line either intense or GTM messed up my hats so they are a little messed up. Need to reglue them on someday so the egt gauge doesn't look like its handicap. These gauges show boost, fuel pressure and egt

GTM full dual 3" exhaust with Brunt titanium tips.

Stoptech drilled slotted front/rear rotors with stainless steel lines and brake pads

KwV3 coilovers to replace the stance coilovers I had on for only maybe 1000miles.

Pic of the arrival of my TK shift knob :driving:

Very cool. So serious.

This was when GTM was mocking up the gtr intake manifold and swapped out the big FMIC to there split IC to make room for the dual oil coolers to have there own vent in the front of the front bumper

Aeromotive inline steel fuel filter for e85

A pic showing the T to the dual fuel pump setup and hard piped fuel lines

-8 billet fuel rails and 1100cc fuel injectors on lower gtr manifold conversion

Fujimura auto rocket dancer front bumper mounted on showing a 34r oil cooler peaking out each left and right vent of the bumper

Race logic conveniently mounted in triple blank panel for easy access wrapped in carbon fiber.

Strapped down at specialty Z for some dyno magic.

On 91octane and 15lbs of boost she made a mediocre 567whp/ 456wtq. We have never run pump gas lol not even once.

Since specialty Z did the reinstall we converted her over to e85 and she made a comfortable 800whp/700wtq at 25psi :driving: we didn't feel the turbo housing was gonna give us much more and didn't feel we needed to prove anything else at this point I was happy :yum:

Behind view of the cockpit showing all the gauges lit up. There is an innovate wide band and aquamist gauge in the a pillar made by galeforce. I currently have a single galeforce a pillar with just innovate wideband. After never using it I pulled out the aquamist when I converted to e85 during reinstall.

Gtr intake manifold with wrinkle black powder coated charge piping.

Test fitting Mines carbon add on spoiler :p

A big thanks to bulletproof automotive for getting me set up with my powerhouse amuse rear bumper with carbon inlay

It's about time. :tup: Sub'd

Bride Vorga Japan edition seats with carbon fiber shell thanks to mark at ravspec

Takata drift spec III harnesses came in from bulletproof automotive

It was you and Ben (rid3_famous) that finally got me off my butt to do it. It's such a pita to do on my phone thou :rofl2:

You guys stay tuned and you will see some amazing carbon fiber peices coming for my engine bay from this guy you are definetly gonna want to get :icon18:

Nice job! Who did you rob? Fort Knox? That's one hell of a parts list. :yum:

I have a serious addiction /scratches neck for high end parts. Of course my wife hates it lol. I'm having a bit of an early midlife crisis . I have wanted a bad *** boosted car since I saw the first fast and furious movie and when my wife wanted kids I started going crazy :inoutroflpuke: now that she pushing for another one I'm scrambling to finish :icon18:

We're not worthy sir! Well done. I'm definitely jealous, good for you for having the balls!

Helluva build.

Because he made the Build Thread so late, he post a crapp ton of post instead of one long one with lots of pics. =^ b He's making up precious lost post! lol

I APPROVE!

man I really want that gtr intake manifold... awesome build

Yo brotha, you got one bad a$$ ride, I can't wait to hook up and share our experiences. Picking up mine from Seb on Friday.

I love it when my Z is there. I'm waiting for ecutek for flexfuel before I take her back for minor tweaks. Whatcha getting done?? More boosties!?!?:excited:

You know it...Fast 500 fuel system install, FI crash bar and a tune for 91 and 100 octane. Everything was done back in early Dec, but we were wait to see what ecutek was going to do as they said it would be ready about Christmas :shakes head:...well here we go again, hurry up and wait, so we decided after waiting a month to go ahead and tune with uprev. I will make the switch for sure if flexfuel is a reality. This weekend will be full of fun and knuckle busting. Install the new hood and a whole bunch of SPL suspension parts. :driving:

Sometimes it's best to ask for forgiveness, then to ask for permission. :D

Nice build very informative :drool:

Thank you sheriff :tiphat:

Is it possible you or someone might be able to tell me why almost every notification I have from 370z forum goes to junk mail? I even tried adding 370z as a contact. I looked it the faq and did a search with no luck. I'm not a computer or Internet guy as u can see by my build thread via iPhone lol I don't even know how to make the links in my sig to my build thread and IG .
Definetly be nice to get an email to threads im subscribed to when it's set on instant notification. Thanks in advance to anyone who can help me with that :tup:

Love it! We need to see some videos now of that beast in action :)

:iagree:

This is going to be crazy once its finished:tiphat:
