Default My nismo Z build

The turbo kit was installed by a local shop/friend and they did the powder coating as well. The exhaust piping and intercooler are painted black too. I took the car to SP Engineering and they installed all the electronics and tuned the car. With their custom map it made 427 whp and 356 wtq.

The parts that went in are:

Greddy 20G twin turbo kit HR kit
DW 600cc injectors
255 Walbro pump
HKS F-Con vPro 3.3
HKS EVC6 boost controller
HKS AFK with dual A/F sensors
HKS one step colder spark plugs
OS Giken twin disk
Greddy Ti-C turbo exhaust
Evans coolant fluid

How much boost are you running?

edit: I love the black piping, thinking about doing the same to mine as well.

Looks great and VERY clean! Do they just offer this kit with 20g's? Are you going to go for a bit more power?

Nice sleeper. Like how you made it look so sinister.

Quick note/suggestion: Nismo Finned Differential cover powder coated black to that would be sick!

The differential cover blacked out is a nice idea! I didn't think of that.
I'm running 2 maps, one is at 5.5 psi making ~380 whp, and the graph i posted is at 60 kpa which is around 8 psi. I don't really care for any more power. I could have them tune it at 500 whp and over, but how reliable will that setup be.

- 20G turbos is the only option from Greddy for HR engines. It comes with everything but the ECU and injectors.

- My budget was to get the best deal possible. I bought most of the parts from Forged, and Fcon from SPE. The prices went up on some of the items since i last did my research, especially the vpro. Plus I had to get a lot of extra components that I did not count in previously. Ended up paying a lot more than anticipated, but no complaints. When I picked it up from them, I forgot all about what it took to get to that point.
