Jlo370z Boosted Performance Turbo Build/Journal
 

Im back!!!!! probably because im bored and cant drive my baby right now. LOL

will try this again, bought Red new in April 2012 (shes a 2011) after 2 maximas and the son getting older it was time to ditch the second set of doors, and the wife LOL not literally but with a Son, she doesnt get to go in the Z all that much hahaha! Drove her as a daily from April to October before picking up a 2002 330 CI for the wife and I took over the 2012 Juke. Hey shes happy and I get to drive 2 new cars whoo hoo:driving:

No mods that season, just drove her as much as I could. But over the winter I got the Itch and started to pick up some mods. Bought Fast Intentions 12" resonated HFC and CBE, and Stillen Gen 3 CAI. once the Snow broke I got that installed and got the disease and the mods kept coming.

Looking sharp Jim! Did you decide on a shop for your Turbo install?

Thanks!

yes, when I order it, i will be ordering the boosted performance twin scroll kit, and after reading the instructions, talking to Jason and Sasha, Myself and a few others are going to tackle the installation at our shop. then Ill take it over to eli to be tuned. just waiting on bonus now to order that. in the mean time i hope to get all the smaller work done that I have listed.

Very clean!

:tup:

Installed the leds from JW Motorsports today, very pleased with the results. Forgot my camera at home so ill take some Friday and post them up. Definitely brighter but not to bad. I had ordered some festoon led's for the vanity mirrors but they are the wrong size, to fat, will have to research them a bit more and get the right ones ordered.

I want to add some leds behind the reflector in the door. ive never looked are the lighted doorsills lit with parking lights or just when door is open? id like to tap into that. this will give my doors a bit more visibility when the doors are open and a modest cool factor to it.

Looking forward to the updates.

Fujimura Cf Rear diffuser
Evo-R smoked fog light
and GTR Starter Button

all on order cant wait to get them on the car.

I noticed I left off the body color matched door handles, that is something else I hope to do early spring time. Will have to update list with that

Installed vanity mirror LEDs and gtr start button today. Will install evo-r smoked fog light when the Fuji rear diffuser shows up.

Thanks guys:tiphat:

I agree, it looks so much better.

So my BP kit is here complete. I am ordering my clutch/ and gauges this week. Installation will begin first week of April and I will post as I get along with it.
since the clutch is going in same time, it will be a while before I get it tuned and on a dyno, but as soon as I can I will get that done and posted here.

The bp kit is beautifully done and the instruction booklet is one if not the best ive ever seen. cant wait to get started

Jlo, looking good.

also ordered pillar pod set up from bespoke, need to order gauge for it tomorrow.
