Small teeny weenie build list. Turbo'd in the next few months???
My build so far has been going great, and it's now getting to the time when I'm now saving for a turbo kit. I'm torn between a couple of turbo kits, but I have a good idea of how much I'll have to save for it. I'm looking at the Kanji turbo kit (which comes with piping only and I'll have to supply the turbo and wastegate) as well as the REV9 kit (with replacing the turbo, the wastegate, and an oil catch can kit). I know that the kanji kit is of higher quality than the rev9, but it's going to take more time to get all the parts required. I'm just giving a quick update.
REV9
Going to replace the turbo with entry-level precision
Replacing wastegate
AND MORE (i haven't thought it through...)
Kanji Kit
Gives instructions on what's recommended to make around 350-400whp+
I ended up getting some Anovia wheels 18-8.5 +35
Megan racing lowering springs (looking to upgrade to Coilover, will invest in some nice shocks after the turbo)
Z1 rear camber arms
Akebono brake pad
Simple setup as of now. I have no idea why I never take a picture of the darn car, but I'll be sure to have a picture in the next update. Based on my job and the way I'm setting up the payments, this build is super doable and so far I'm having a great time with this. hopefully, before I move out of state for college, I'll have this build fully done! I'm still gonna be adding some interior things such as seats, a new steering wheel, a new console, etc, but I haven't been researching them as much. I'm hoping my dad doesn't kick my *** for being so reckless with my money LOL.

wheels are tiny, and you will be limited on tires. you should get rid of those, and pick up some 18x9.5 +15 (or lows 20s) for the front, and18x10.5+15 (or low 20s) for the rear so you can get a beefier tire. you will need it for the power you are adding

I had a previous posting about my potential wheels. I saw replies around my choice being too big so I settled with this one haha. I’ll just stick with it. I’m not gonna track it or anything in the near future so, at least hopefully, it’s aesthetically nice.

Budget builds never work out. Either spend the money to do it right, or just enjoy you Z stock.

Unfortunately that's just a list of bad choices.
Spend the money on proper wheels and good coilovers.
I run a 19x10.5 +22 on all four corners. You said akebono pads, so I assume you have or plan to run akebono brakes. It's doubtful they will fit with the wheels you have. Take your time and do things right the first time.

18x8.5? And +35??
How is that an upgrade? Skinny as my stock rear Track wheels with more weight.
I’m pretty sure there have been at least 3-4 RECENT threads on tires/wheels with every one of them making the correct recommendations. Seriously? Heck, now that I think about it, one of those threads was yours. Memory serves, several people made recommendations that you decided not to follow. Alrighty then, know where this is going…

18x8.5 wheels are not worth buying.
you have another car correct ? Trying to piece together an eBay turbo kit, the car will be down for a long time
