Bumper's not actually on, and that mk3 on the right is ****ING NUTS
We enjoy screwing around i guess
Sometimes we get serious about screwing around...
and then there's the car again. I love the way the lines flow off the top of the trunk now... Wish the fenders fit better. Sticks out all funny at the door jam. Oh well, becuz racecar. (Don't ask about the 5" tip sitting on the factory muffler. I'm sticking with a 4" tip, I think lol)

Build list:
Dynosty stage 1 short block (wiseco pistons in this one, I like them for a higher aluminum content vs silicon, upgraded wrist pins)
Dynosty Billet Girdle
ARP mains and l19 heads
Dynosty headgasket (similar to the hks, at a much better price, contact dynosty for more info)
Dynosty reflashed ecu (idle, auto to manual etc)
Haltech with the fixings (dual wideband etc) off of jason's g35
BC 272's and BC spring kit
Set of bearings which I can't remember that were put together by Eddie for the correct clearances I need
ATI damper
Rev up oil pump
Veyron Pump
1200cc precision injectors
1/2" plenum spacer, and 3/8" dynosty fuel rail spacer
cd0009 transmission
Spec super twin (one with slightly upgraded friction plates, cant remember which one in specific)
RJM pedal bracket
305 r888 rear 245 r888 front (can you say understeer?)
siebon fenders
aerosync front
smoothline removable hardtop (removed oem top for weight savings, and ALL motors)
4" aluminum exhaust vibrant race muffler
7175 .96 a/r thingy with a small air filter (for now)
twin 38mm wastegates
tiny little bov
4x12x32 fmic (not sure if thats with endtanks or not, but its big enough)
Turbo Werx Exa pump for separate filtered turbo only oil system
uhmmm resurfaced heads (they were very clean, only a tiny tiny window on cylinder 3 i think)
pretty much it.
Hope to make power out to 8.5k rpm, if not, we'll fab a aluminum short runner coffin style intake plenum with upgraded TB. (If you are interested in this idea let me know, my buddy wouldn't mind selling a few for a decent price).
goals:
**** ton of power
DD (I don't beat on my cars...)
Standing mile car and highway queen.

I'll see how much i track the car or if i do otherwise, as currently the turbo sits too low for racing (at least comfortably). if this thing bottoms out at speed, bye bye compressor housing and half the manifold.
But primarily it's a street car. You should see how close the turbo is to the shifter... going to be quite the noise in car lol.

Reclocked the turbo/re angled it a bit.
Have pics of that but nothing too cool.
Re worked the charge piping to avoid wheel contact...
Cool pic of the day
Back Purged And Pie Cut downpipe 3"... going to flare out to 4" right after a bit more bend:

With that, you would have been able to run the IC pipe between the transmission and the brace, with no clearance issues at all.

Just wondering if there is a reason for not making the two banks merge right at the turbo. Right now you have about a 5" (estimating) straight section before the inlet flange. That way the two banks could have gone behind the transmission support brace, and you would have had all the room in the world with the turbo sitting that way.
With that, you would have been able to run the IC pipe between the transmission and the brace, with no clearance issues at all.

I have a coule of reasons for not joining right at the turbo:
1) the turbo isn't a twin scroll, if it was you can see how easy it would be to utilize this design
2) something most people wouldnt know about me is i spend a lot of my free time recording, mixing, mastering my and friends music (im not quite signed yet but the future is promising). So sound/tone is very very important to me. I wanted this kit to sound like a longtube header car crossed with an sts kit, but have the performance similar to what your kit can do. Joining the pulses pre turbo should ensure i get the tone i crave, and was for my own personal reasons.
I understand how it could be seen to hinder flow, but im not worried about it... Plenty of n/a z's out there run similar sized piping and are able to rev out on it.
So yes, cheers to my **** ears!

Sunday it was supposed to rain. It didn't.
Yesterday it wasn't supposed to rain. It did for 2 hours.
It's been raining in front of my office building before, and sunny out back. You never know what's going to happen around here.

At least here it's DRY a lot. We just never know WHEN it's going to rain.
Sh*t pops up out of nowhere, dumps water for 30 minutes, then goes away and it's ridiculously humid for the rest... well, the rest of your life.

I was surprised to see that you're running only a small racing style muffler on that 4" exhaust, especially since you said how picky you are about sound and that this car will be primarily a street car. Do you think that your pre-turbo piping arrangement will eliminate rasp?
The reason I'm curious is because I have heard a local friend's 350Z with a very similar 4" exhaust setup. He has a Precision 7675 turbo with a 3.5" down pipe to a 4" exhaust with a small Burns racing muffler near the tip. It was VERY raspy and obnoxious as hell!!!
LOL A larger muffler was added mid-line (Magnaflow IIRC) and it made it a bit less redonkulous. But it's still quite loud.

Eventually we want to either y the wastegates together or recirc them.
And the car will probably be running a silencer on DD duty.
Is your buddy on the board? And is that the 76 kit sasha was talking about?
but yeah I dont mind loud, I care about sound/tone. I'm trying to get the car to sound more like an inline 6 than the usual burble of a tt vq.

Rasp is 'ok' actually, it's tone that's my issue. infact the longtubes will be raspy for sure, but a different kind of raspy.

Yeah, my buddy is on the board. But he isn't very active on the forum anymore. It's a modified PL kit and made over 900whp. I don't remember the exact number anymore.
P.S. BTW, I'm not talking about the Intense widebody G. This is a customer's car that's a 350Z.

I see... Well, as long as you're 'OK' with raspy and very loud.

So there are powerlab kits making power other than the intense G! That's good.
I'm curious to see how this turbo matches up. I'd like to see it flow out to 8.5k and have decent transient response (although I'll definitely setup the boost to roll in)
EDIT:
tonewise im going for something similar to the mazworx car:
