It is all custom made as our turbo kit is completely custom. It does have the Vibrant Muffler as it seemed to have the best flow through and diameter piping at the time.

more than that.

$10,000 motor
$5,500 basic Greddy TT
$2,200 AAM stage 1 and stage 2 fuel systems
$3,500 FCON/Knock Amp and harnesses
$700 AAM 3" test pipes and dumps
$1,500 AAM 3" exhaust
$2,400 ATS twin disc clutch
--------------------------------
$25,800 and that's not even including labor, tuning, gauges, or even the cost to upgrade the stock greddy turbos.

then he is way high. Brent's motor doesn't cost $20K. You can get the new GTM stroker kit with stage 4 heads for less than $20K.

It does add up quickly...but when done right, you have greater-than-supercar power at a relative bargain. And the 350Z/G35 still turns more heads than most supercars, and are classy enough to attend a formal function.

Good looking list with a few exceptions.

I'd go with 3.5" APS test pipes, Forged open dumps, APS Xtreme fuel return or CJ Motorsports fuel return and an APS 3" exhaust.

But that's just me!

It would have to be a stroker kit and maybe even the Cosworth heads; does a cam set with come with the cosworth heads?

Cams are always seperate, and are added to the complete head. With so many camshafts out there, we dont bundle them together. We can work out a package deal with camshafts if that is something you are interested in.

the only thing is the 3.5" aps tp's won't bolt up to the greddy turbos, but since most of what you listed was aps I'd assume you'd go with the aps tt as well. Nice list none the less.

nah...I'm a greddy guy...if I decide to go turbo. I'm not necessarily an APS fan either, just based on your list I'd opt for a few different parts...

Sharif-

This is the first built Greddy kit that I've seen (or better yet, read about) that has decided to up the boost to 23lbs. You used C18 race fuel for the final tune at that boost level.

Was this a conservative measure with slightly more aggressive timing (due to the C18) or could the owner of a built motor readily run at 23lbs on 93 octane with the same ignition timing curve?

23lbs on 93 octane is a no no.
