Here it is mounted in the car

 

Gang - I've been bombarded with PM's about my current project from folks wanting to know the parts & details. First all, thanks to everyone for their interest & support ( even the expected "why not go turbo?" questions ). Here's a recap of all my parts - most from Sharif @ Forged Internals ( GREAT vendor & person in general )

AEBS block bored & sleeved to 100 mm. Block is O-ringed as well & will displace 3.87 liters.
Darton MID sleeves
OEM Nissan crank ( reportedly good to 1400 hp )
Pauter rods
Arias Extreme Duty pistons ( 9.0 to 1 CR )
ARP studs
JWT S1 cams
Ferrea 1mm oversized valves. OEM heads will have minor port-matching & bowl work.
Ferrea valvetrain ( springs, retainers & locks )
Cometic head gaskets
APS oil pan
IM will either be Crawford ( currently on car ) or Kinetix SSV. John will dyno both & pick the best for my/our application.
Motordyne thermal-barrier lower IM gaskets
350 EVO bored throttle body
3" mandrel bent & thermal coated intake piping
Greddy 660 injectors mounted in John's anodized fuel rails & full return system
Walbro 255lph fuel pump
Aeromotive rising rate FPR
HKS wastegate
Greddy BOV
E-manage Ultimate
AquaMist A-1 water/methanol injection system
Greddy catch can
Gordee's grounding kit
Full Borla exhaust ( headers & TD ) The headers R wrapped in thermal tape.
Labree responated test pipes
DSS axles
Quaife LSD
3.53 geared differential ( might follow Bill's lead & stay w/the 3.3's )
Custom driveshaft ( Maybe 6160 T-6 aluminium or 300M - ask John! )
Level 10 T/C ( 2800 rpm stall ) & V/B. Might be changed to either an SGP beefed tranny or L480E w/paddle shift - we'll see.
ZEX wet nitrous system w/NX Maximizer
J&S Safeguard
SAMCO hoses
Koyo radiator
B&M Hi-Tek tranny cooler

Whew!! I'm sure I've forgotten something but this is probably 90% of the project. Now just don't ask me the total cost!!

John - I love you, man!!!

holy crap, that things gonna be insane. The paddle shifter wouldnt be to bad either............have fun

 

Here's some links John did the R&D on regarding the paddle shifting options. If I go with the TCI tranny then I'll be using the one from Jegs.

The supercarsllc version seem to be an option if I decide to beef up the factory tranny. Hmmm?????

 

Paddle shifter would be a cool mod and a little safer to drive with the power you'll have

 

OMFG where do I sign up!?

ACG, I'd definitley like to meet up. Please pm me when you're done!

 

Gene that is one list of mods you have there, not sure I can go that far, especially here in Cali. I am going for the stock look except for what cannot be seen with the naked eye like internals, injectors, fuel pump, VB,VC and things like that but your car is going to be mean.

Ravi, from one Indian to another, I will let you know when I complete my IC.

 

AC - I guess that's one big advantage that I have being down in Cajun country! We don't have CARB!! Of course, U Cali guys & gals get all the new toys first & have much better roads on which to enjoy your cars. Life's full of compromises!!

yeah well on the east coast we get everything last, but have tons of fun awesome roads to run on

 

Just caught up on this thread. Great work Gene and John.....can't wait to see the finished product.

 

Hey Thank You

 

How difficult is it to install a paddle shifter? Does it over ride the manumatic system in the AT5 or do you have a choice which you want to use.

 

don't get ahead of the story here

 

Any updates on the piping John. I am sitting here with this nice sized FMIC to install.

 

Yeah didn't like the first round as we spoke on the phone (Glad you got it by the way!!) changing low pressure A/C line to allow for more clearance. This will allow for a more strait line shot should also allow me to use Piping that I have already done for 350Z.

Will have more this weekend for sure Gene Wants Pictures and by God I intend on giving them to him

 

Waiting for reply on shifter compatability. Would be nice to use product that is readilly available instead of having to prototype my own

 

Will have more this weekend for sure Gene Wants Pictures and by God I intend on giving them to him [/QUOTE]

GUESS I WALKED INTO THAT ONE
