I was able to score some spy photos of the 4.3L Z. I hope Greg does not get pissed but i just could not help posting them for you to see. He is off to Atlanta for HIN. Supra and Z will be in the show. Well, enough talking.....ENJOY! Ohh and yes that is a GT42R!!!

 

Those cars are hot!

Is that a custom ST on the Z? When can you give more details?

 

Yeah! What kind of turbo setup you runnin there?

 

Turbo kit is Custom Made.

 

I guessed that much. Just interested in the specifics.

 

That's redonkulous!!!

 

Sorry lol.....It has a Gt42r, HKS 50mm gate, Custom 3 row intercooler, 3 inch piping, Custom manifolds and a Tial 50mm BOV, 3" Dp and Vibrant exhaust Hope that helps.

Dyno numbers coming soon.

 

How much would this set us back? Very unique setup you guy's made. Curious as to how the piping is ran? I'm thinking you merged the exhaust manifolds together to one pipe, ran that under the turbo to the intercooler, and the intake pipe ran from the intercooler (left side outlet) to the TB? Then ran the exhaust right above the pipe (that goes to the IC from the exhaust manifolds) under the turbo and then out to the Vibrant exhaust? Just a guess...

Also, what clutch is it using? I imagine a triple plate carbon clutch? Any other drivetrain upgrades? What kind of power are you guy's shooting for? Gary (350G) told me around 1000 just for the heck of it?

 

Pretty much you are right on everything. Yes we are shooting for 1000whp. We wanted to use an RPS carbon carbon but they could make it in suitable time frame. We are running the Tilton. Tranny is stock.

 

Nice work...car and kit look clean...looks alot like a turbo set up I've seen somewhere else...



J/K

 

Nice.. it does look kinda-sorta similar to the T-netics, but on steriods.

Are you guys running a plenum spacer on that stock plenum?

 

not to mention the custom semi tube frame front end

 

Way to bring the Weaksauce Baker.

 

Looks like Norm finally got around to cutting out the stur bar in the rear. Looks good.

I'll be back in Lex Vegas on June 6th. Come on out to Platinum. You know I'll be there...

 

4.3L and GT42R?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! OMFG...that is insane.

Please tell me you have a dyno to show us, so I can drool even more.

 

I don't know what else to say but I love you. =o

 

looks good, you're rad is so damn thick. the tb seems too small though, you guys are gonna choke that engine. shoulda gone w/ a 4" tb and 4" cold pipe.

 

GT42R.......Just plan sick

 

the tubing doesn't seem to be part of the chassis. it looks like they just fabbed up a custom rad support, cuz a regular bolt on rad for the z would be too wide.

 

Can't wait to see the dyno numbers. That's sick!!!
