nice work - I can appreciate the fabrication time put into it.

That's one thing I don't like about the Z - the intake from the IC to the manifold is 7 feet!

Yeah the shop reccommended we keep it short as possible and use a 4 inch core as the turbo is 700hp capable. Supposedly the car will be finished this week or early next week. All fabrication will be finished

So there is some delays with the car the fabricator had to finish a job last minute and put my car on hold. He finished that car and is working on mine again down pipe pretty much done just needs to be fully welded. We are currently waiting on my muffler from vibrant after he gets that it should be pretty much wrapped up by the end of this coming week or the following.

Down pipe almost done

Hey guys just an update a lot of the fab work is finished, not all of it yet as they will be making a bunch of brackets for oil cooler and power steering reservoir, etc...


I believe the car will be in the shop all month.

Dual waste gates? Is that typical? Who made your collector?

Pretty nice results on your IC and the BOV - looks good!
