I test drove the car, It felt amazing. Loud and mean.

Its still on a crappy tune that is hesitating under 2000rpm when driving.

Will pick it up this week.


A small video of the car idling:

 

Throaty! Lets see that puppy eat

 

Are you going to have any assists I.E. race logic? Do you have a suspension set up for traction? Or do you modulate traction with your right foot?

 

I will probably run boost by gear and get some fat MT tires on the spare 18'' wheels I have.


The car is finished and now it's getting polished and cleaned from the all dust that accumulated over the last three years.

Also ordered two SPAL 14'' fans that are rated at 1800 cfm each instead of the weak a$$ mishimoto ones.

 

Nice conrats Mid... The 2jz will not disappoint. Take ur time learning how to deal with the newfound power and drive train. When these effers wake up it is all hell breaks loose ENJOY!

 

Just cleaned a little. Still going to polish and fill the front bumper and maybe install a mesh in front of the intercooler.

 

Bad *** bro.. love it

 

Teaser:




















Will post later my impression so far after I get some sleep.

 

Any idea how much the car weight now with the 2jz in it???

 

Dyno day. Wish me luck

 

Good luck and may the Dyno gods be with you

 

Car made 480whp on spring 14 psi and made 570whp on 21-22psi. Both runs on 91oct. Couldn't find a C16 at that moment. Will do later after upgrading the fuel system, crank pulley, new CD009 tranny..etc


Car idles/drives smooth and transform to a complete beast when boost kicks in spinnings the new 295/30/19 ContiSportContact 3 tires in 2nd and 3rd all the way to redline.

I don't have torque numbers for now. With smaller wheels/tires and 3.5" downpipe the car should be in the low 600whp.

 

Can a mod please add a (finally complete) to the title?

 

It will never be complete! Glad to see some good starter numbers, but we all know you will want more down the road!

600RWHP that is WAY more reliable than a VQ sounds awesome to me

 

With my setup now I should make around 800whp on C16 which is crazy power IMO for a rear wheel drive on the streets.

I just want a working car for now

 

Fawkin well done Midz and big congrats.. I will use this thread as inspiration once i find a donor Z Now you have to get a Amuse Superleggera kit and be done. My dream build right here!!!

 

Thank you guys.

 

I'm the new owner of this beautiful 2014 Q50s. only ~14k miles on the clock. "USDM spec"

It should arrive in the upcoming three days.




With the 25-30mm spacers I had from the Z and some lowering springs it should set really nice.

 

congrats on the build.. i just read all 23 pages of pics and posts. glad youve finally got a running and driving car!

 

I'd love the Q70 with the v8
