Very nice... His bill at Forged was probably as much as the sticker price on the car new.

Hopefully mine will be coming soon.

 

Great work guys!

Question for Sharif. Judson and I essentially have the exact same build with the exception of 2 items, JWT vs GReddy and 6MT vs 5AT. We have similar power output but he gets there at 2psi less. Is this mainly the drivetrain loss difference, difference in turbos or both?

Judson, congrats! Now that is the way to build a car.

 

Yeah, me and my lame brain ideas . What's a few more days after waiting most of the summer, right?


Those AP brakes look nice - rotors look huge. Hmmm....

 

It is likely due to the lower final drive/auto trans losses, rather than turbocharger efficiency. Remember, you are also running 20inch wheels, which is worth a little drivetrain loss as well.

 

Is it me, or are the rear tires protruding OUTSIDE of the wheel well? Let me guess, VOLK GTS with +17 offset on 285/30/19? I don't understand why ppl get offsets that low when they have this much power. Has he cut the fenders? If he went with more conservative offsets he could have got some beefier tires and wouldn't have to worry about fender clearance.

 

Does give it a wider, more aggressive stance...

 

Unfortunately, this is what Mackin recommended. Originally, Judson was going to purchase the wheels from another vendor..same offsets. He ended up having us get them for him, since his car was here. I have already offered him a different offset at no cost if he wants them. I am running 305's on the rear, and my LE's 22 offset also has a stick out...doesnt bother me at all.

 

^ You're missing the point. With that kind of power, you want to have as much traction as possible (ie. wider tires). Those 285's is the max you can go, they don't even look as if they fit right and he may have to roll/cut his fenders.... I could be wrong, just going by that one pic.

 

HOLYSH!T 305s

 

Sweet work by Forged's crew and Sharif.

 

badass!! Is this guy on this board?? I deft. need to check out his car since it's in Oklahoma and I am in Oklahoma

 

This is one of the biggest misconceptions on the Z boards.



Awesome build!!!! Tell the owner to get vids up!!!

 

G35JC, I think. I am sure he will chime in shortly.

 

Wow, very nice and complete setup! Congrats on a beautiful car and doing it right the first time.

 

 

HA!

If my car does not trrap over 136 I am parting it out!!!!!!

 

sharif, how much would that setup run on an 04 Z? Im trying to save up to send my baby to you guys

 

Nice job Forged. Great numbers. I saw this car last week and it is very clean all around. Sounds really nice too. Good luck with you new found power.

 

great build

 

A Greddy intercooler and piping for it isnt too unique.

Let get the car done!
