Look up 73draggy on YouTube. He built his VR38 engine from a rejected/recalled long block. It's pretty neat with his attention to detail... almost OCD! I'd like to slowly build something like this on the side one day. It won't be anything too crazy - maybe a Stage 1 which can handle 600 whp or so.

Well the motor is getting replaced finally. Decided to ceramic coat inside and out and wrap all the hot side pipes and powder coat the cold side white. Turbo and BOV in copper. The engine cover it...

Hey everyone, I wanted to share my experience with you all as this will be my first boosted Z. I had a 05 350Z for three years and always dreamed of going turbo now that I have a 370Z I figure...

Glad to hear you got yours because a lot of pepes here could use it too...

I'll take removing the hot side piping to drop the tranny over drop motor to install turbo manifolds.

I haven't done my research on Kits because I was going to go with a GTM TT kit but then I heard about the huge wait etc... turned me off from it really quick. But I knew I was going to need 12K to...
