Sounds like a beast in the making.

 

very nice build.. post more pix!!!... I hope this isnt another down the drain thread that you never hear about anymore.. just like the single build powerlab that, god knows what happened..

 

Very nice! Keep us updated with your progress.

 

Looks sweet!!!!

 

sub'd

 

Where will the down pipe run? It dosent look like there is any room in the pictures it looks like it will have to run under the steering rack? Its hard to tell from the pictures so maybe there is more room than the picture shows. I am interested in your results

 

Say it aint so......

 

call me a skeptic..... and thats all i'm saying for now

 

We shall wait and see

 

Will this car need a custom condenser/radiator setup or is A/C being ditched all together?

 

No air con, new radiator, waiting on exhaust weld flange for the turbo to fab the downpipe, more pics coming soon.

 

isnt this the same turbo that Craig aka Taurran used or tried to use?

 

nah they did the GTK6XX ... but they were still using fcked up TN Piping.. from what i'm seeing here this is all custom piping

 

Always exciting to see someone try something new, especially when going for big power. One suggestion, put ebp bungs on both collectors. With the piping being so different between the banks, you may end up with a different tune on bank1 vs bank2. Any reason you chose Turbonetics?

Keep us posted with progress and results!

 

Picked up the turbo for a cheap price, also trying something different i had a aussie commodore with and always have run a garret so trying something i think no one has tried on a 350z, turbonetics have got a good unit with there GTK series, we got some awesome results with there units so giving it a go
Pics of customers/friends M3 it dynod in just over 1000hp on 98 oct fuel no nitrous with a gtk 850

 

what power level are you shooting for?

 

good luck i hope this turbo does the same as the m3 but i dont know about a vq motor.

 

thats just a 76mm turbo, no different than 900 hp widebody G35 that Intense has...

 

TN Turbo's get a bad rap because of TN's sh!tty piping they never improved on.... the Turbo's themselves are fine.. but anything with a TN name will leave a bad taste in anyone's mouth who has been on this board for sometime
