Has anyone broke 500whp with an ST?
I have enough knowledge to speak what I want on here. THE FACT HERE IS IT DOES NOT HAVE A T4, it has a T3. Theirs nothing else to say, it will not make the power. Done deal, really dont see the reason to argue about it anymore.

This whole "argument" started because you stated that a 60-1 turbo can't make that kind of power on this car, when I replied that in fact it can with the correct turbine housing/wheel. You said these facts were contradictory, when in fact it they are not. That's about all there is to it.
mmkay.

Fact is, that a 60-1 compressor mated with a T4 turbine housing and properly sized wheel will make well over 500whp on this motor.
I'm not going to attempt to make this kind of power on my car because:
A) My car makes good enough power on the stock motor with the turbo that's included in the kit.
B) I understood the power levels this kit was intended for upon purchasing it.
C) If I do want to go for more power I'll just wait until Turbonetics launches a properly designed system designed to handle it.
D) I possess a thing called "patience".
Thanks, but I'll continue subscribing to this thing called "reality", not just making blind assumptions based on what I read here.
PS: I'm not the one trying to make 500+whp on this turbo alone. You are.

dude, i agree
Joedirt, I'm just envious of your skill... That's your garage isn't it?? You paint your own damn car in your own garage!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I wish I can paint my own car as I please......
Well... ONE new wheel since the front/left was the one that broke in half in the accident. Same ol' Stern ST-2s, tho.
I do paint myself, but I borrowed some shop space compliments of Bling Autosports and their owner, Rich (AZ350Z.com). I paint an occassional part here at the house, but since I couldn't get a booth in a timely manner for a perfectly sterile environment, and I didn't want to shoot the car outside of my home, Rich helped me out.

Well, the parts were jambed prior to install, if that's what you mean? I painted the side skirt and pillar span off the car because it was easier (and cleaner looking) as opposed to masking it off.

Thanks lemanz; the car has been this way for almost a year, but I learned a very difficult lesson in drifting that cost a pretty penny and about 7 weeks of downtime
But, when she's complete she'll look like this again:
