Great to finally be back on the road and making some impressive power. As many of you know of the 2 motors I've been through, (I wont bother to go into detail) this one finally is a keeper.
First I'll start off with what was used in this build:
-Pauter Billet Forged Rod Set 350Z w/ARP rod bolts
-Arias Zero Silicon AL EXTREME Duty Piston set 9.0:1
-Darton Mid Sleeve VQ35
-ARP VQ35 Main Stud Kit
-ARP ½ inch Head Studs
-HKS Head Gasket
-JWT C2 Camshafts (springs/shims)
-RC 1200cc Injectors
-APS Intake Plenum
-CJM Stage 2 Return Fuel System
-Koyo Radiator
-GTM Upgraded Cooling Fans
-HKS F-Con Vpro
-HKS EVC-6 Boost Controller
-HKS Knock AMP

-Dual HKS SSQV BOV
-Forge RED Actuator Springs
-REV-UP Oil Pump
-HKS DLI
-Carbonetics Triple Disc Carbon Clutch 1350kg Pressure Plate (ATS)
-SS Teflon Clutch Line
I think I covered majority of the main components.
Tuning: Jeremy is just amazing at what he does and it was truly a pleasure to watch him tame this beast. From having my old setup with the UTEC, the FCON truly blows it away in aspects of tuning which I finally got to see in person.
It honestly took Jeremy 2 days to fully tune my car to where he felt it was acceptable. He still requested me to come by for some even more detail tuning on the street. But I have to say picking up the car tonight and driving it around, it drives extremely smooth.
On to the dyno's:
**All pulls done with 93 Octane**
Boost controller off on springs around 12 PSI:
13 PSI:
15 PSI:
17 PSI: **585whp 590ft/lbs**
All graphs overylayed:
All this could not be possible without the big help from AJ, he did a clean job installing the motor, gauges ect...
**DYNO VID: Right click, Save as.**

On the street: 17PSI 3rd and 4th no traction, not to mention it was a little chilly out tonight so that didn't help, once i dug traction however it's SCARY fast how quick these turbos spool up and get going, honestly I haven't even ran through the power band yet I'm taking baby steps up there...
For future: In a the next couple of weeks we'll most likely do a C16 map to definitely dip into the 600's and see how much these turbos can take.
Heres a quick shot of the HKS goodies:
Tomorrow I'll snap a couple more pics and I'll defintely get some videos up by this weekend.
ITS GOOD TO BE BACK!
