Last week went out to streets of willow. Lots of cool cars and cool people. I did get to watch an s14 kinda run over an atom. It was pretty interesting to say the least but I still cant find video of it.



Sorry I havent updated in a little bit. Been getting home real late and been spending more time on customer stuff then my own laitly. I did however get the motor in.



The famous Andy Yen ladies and gentlemen helping out with the turbo.



Wicked 1 on clublexus saw that I needed the stock guage cluster and sent me one. Thank You Wicked 1!! Pulled the insides of it out and made a backing plate out of carbon sheet, then had this tach from one of my old cars and figured why not have the most famous a biggest tach you can get in there. Took a little bit of work triming it out and I still feel fiberglass in my arms. More guages will be added but this is just a taste.



Picked up a new steering wheel from Sparco, and some seat brackets. Mounted the drivers seat and took it back out cause I dont want it to get too dirty just yet. Goes back to K&W Autobody in a couple days. Should have the paint finished and start working on the graphics soon.

In the booth, spraying the frost.



Then clearing the front.



Got the car back in the shop






The frost that they used on the car is kinda like a metalic that you only see in certain light. You get that glittery look, just dont see the glitter. Here is a closer pic of the hood after and you cant even see it in the pictures but in real life it has a sparkle to it.



Also Casper was kind enough to kick down some of his coopers so I mounted those things up, threw the brakes on the car, and took off the shocks to check wheel fitment and such. Turns out these +1 offsets may be too aggressive for not having a widebody. It really stressed me out when I put the car down. Got a few options right now like change the wheels, run smaller tires, make all new control arms or mod the original ones. Only time will tell whats going to happen next.

Question: Why didn't you go with a compound turbo setup if you wanted it to spool fast and make 1000 hp?

This is from a guy in Austin with a 2JZ in a 300ZX
OK, the T67 is out, and the new kit is in progress. I'm guessing it should take about ten more days. The new kit consists of a GT45-80 DBB, and a 50 trim T3, 60mm and 44mm wastegates, 4 inch downpipe, 6 inch intake, looking for 750-800whp on E85, and spool at 2800RPM. No more lag, lots more power, and too much crap in not enough engine bay


Dyno is 24psi on "pump gas". It holds 26-28psi on the street. Car pulls fine to 8000rpm now. On the dyno the limiter was at 7500rpm.


With your stroker, that would spool insanely quick Plus you are running race gas, you could make some mad power on 110

Very sweet build btw!
