My cousin happened to be filling a 20ft container with a car from japan sooooooooooooooooo

Guess who just got a pair of turbo's with 5k km on them for $500 :happydance:

Should see them around June-July I hope.

Extended the intakes to the front of the car. I need to do another 3rd gear pull to dump in virtual dyno but I can definitely feel the difference.

cool

Got the intercooler fabbed up. All that's left to do to it is add some brackets

It's all coming together slowly but surely

Well a few small updates.

I made myself a dual 2.5" exhaust and used a Magnaflow muffler with an internal X pipe. It's MUCH quieter after break in compared to the muffler deletes and no more annoying 2500-3k super drone. I reused the stock exhaust tips so nothing special to see on the outside.

I'm also in the process of making a catch can/coolant reservoir. It still needs some tweaking and then i can get the fittings, filter and fill cap

Virtual dyno in 3rd gear, extended K&N intakes, cat deletes and new 2.5" exhaust. The tune is un-touched from when Seb tuned it with the short ram K&N intakes, cat and muffler deletes.

I plan on replacing the 2.5" maf tubes with 2.75" pipe and getting a retune soon, to see if I can break 300whp 250wtq in this tropical climate.

34 row oil cooler :tup: Still waiting on a thermostat sandwich plate before I install it. That should be here next week hopefully

New to me Nismo diff, set to 2 way in the pic. I'll be dropping the diff tonight and finishing up tomorrow.

Finished up the diff. Best mod ever.

Well it's definitely clunky at low speed. But for the benefit everywhere else, it's a sacrifice I am happy to make

Mounted up the oil cooler tonight.

I cleaned up the runners on my intake manifolds today. I'm waiting till later tonight when its a bit cooler to do a 3rd gear pull.

I was able to smooth where the throttle body transitions to the plenum pretty well. After that all i did was take down any lips from where the 2 parts are formed together.

For the lower, I just smoothed out all the casting flash on the side of the ports and port matched the openings.

Next week I up the MAF tube size to 2.75" and get a retune for everything.

Had a blast at the track again yesterday. I really need some more power to keep up with all the nitrous powered....well everything.

Well since everything else is out there on a power payment plan, I followed suit it would seem.

Mounted up the switches and controller on a carbon sheet I made a while back

http://www.the370z.com/members/sirni...dba273bed.jpeg
The main line is run and the solenoids mounted. I need to weld the 1/16"NPT bungs in the intakes tomorrow to finish up.

http://www.the370z.com/members/sirni...74b824a1a.jpeg
I also got a set of Hotchkis sways in finally. I have the rear set to the softest setting since I am running a square tire/wheel setup. Holy **** what a difference.

I've got some more turbo related stuff in the works, mainly O2 hoursings & coolant adapter from Husam and a Z1 oil pan spacer from another forum member. I also managed to score a set of low mileage ID1050x injectors locally from a friend as well.

All that's left is some intercooler and intake piping, fuel pump, oil/water lines, misc gaskets/fasteners & a GTR map sensor

Finally got everything finished with the nitrous. Logged 2 back to back runs for some virtual dyno action.

If this is what an extra 100whp feels like, I am super excited for when I end up with boost next year.:happydance:

shot of the Z1 oil pan spacer and the monster Earls sandwich plate. I had to end up removing it to source a smaller foot print Mocal plate since the Earls blocked the oil drain port on the Z1 spacer
