This is the cliffnotes version- I can provide MANY more pics if anyone would like.

I didn't want to post a thread up until it was completely done, but it's close enough and I figure a forum like this where everyone appreciates how much time and money goes into these builds would be a good place to put it.

I've taken probably about 500+ photo's documenting this build, so here are all the goodies from start to now:



































(fmic just mocked up for piping)













the IC piping is custom made, it is a combo of 2.5" and 2.25". The charge piping from the turbo to the IC is flared down to 2.25" for clearance between the rad and frame, then back out to 2.5". The piping from the IC to the throttle bodies is full 2.5". At this point all that is left is to finish up wiring (easy stuff) and tightening fuel fittings (didn't want to tighten everything down, first I need to make sure both pumps are picking up fuel at low tank levels), and waiting for a pipe that was mis-shipped (should be here tomorrow)- then it just needs to be dyno tuned Shooting to be on the dyno this week. Expect videos!

 

nice build

 

awesome build...great platform to start on

 

freakin awesome build, cant wait to see it finished up!

i love the 300zTT, one of my fave cars when its done right (ie, not riced out).
after driving my friends (built with jwt turbos, 485rwhp), i really liked these cars even more. they have such a solid/tight feel to the motor, like it is bulletproof and power at all rpms, it was not laggy at all.

i really like the black n gold engine color combo too, although im not a fan of red.

 

thanks guys! I'm hoping to be on the dyno for tuning friday, if not then next week, so numbers will def be posted soon

 

That's a serious build, nice work. The Z32 TT is one of my favorite all-time cars.

 

Nice build! I hit 487 whp on mine and called it quits. I started after I had a timing belt break though you have gone WAY farther then I did with my build. Congrats on the progress and look forward to seeing more pics and numbers!

 

Awesome!

The 300ZXTT was the very first car I ever wanted. The VG is a very stout engine and the turbos you picked up look monstrous compared to the OEM pieces.

Should be one beast of a car.

If I could offload my G35, I'd pick one up in a heartbeat...or an S2000...or a 911SC...or a................. etc.

 

whoa..that's one kick a..s build...looking forward to see the end results...

 

how difficult is it working on the engine? doesn't seem to be much room to get your hands in there! example, attaching the inlet pipe to the turbo? Car looks great though, probably nicest 300 i've seen! what numbers are you looking for?

 

props on a nice build,on a car that is a pain in the *** to work on lol.

 

I'd love to be able to take my Z to that level at some point. For now I'll have to settle for 391hp

 

Thanks guys! The engine bay NOW is a lot more simple and easier to work around in then the stock engine bay...through a stock engine bay you can barely see the ground.


vs


Even stock(ish), it's not horrible once you get used to it lol. It is difficult compared to some other cars, but you get used to it fairly quickly. Now that there is half the stuff in the engine bay it is quite a bit easier to work around and figure out problems.

As for numbers, we'll know tomorrow! I am hoping for close to 700 on pump gas and close to 900 on race gas. It is getting tuned tomorrow so I'll put up numbers, sheets, and probably a video or two!

 

Boing!!

Great to see someone doing the work necessary on the cylinder heads to achieve more horsepower on lower boost.......or lots more horsepower on high boost.

 

haha well the dyno got set back AGAIN, but this time it's going on on sunday! I'll put some pics up tomorrow I'm going to work on the alignment a little bit, and finish putting all the panels that are going back in the car in the car. Maybe I'll toss the bumper and everything on and wash it and take some driveway pics

HowlerMonkey- thanks! That's a huge pet peeve of mine- people that do these builds where they think they will make so much power and put so much time and effort into them, but half *** it (i.e. stock heads, no cams, stock valve train, stock manifolds). They don't realize the bottle neck it can create when everything else is set up to flow like 300% of stock.
