Sorry for the delayed response... I'm using all new parts. I'll be selling the greddy kit as soon as my other project car (95 Eclipse GSX) is up and running reliably.
Fully Built 4G63 w/ 76mm Schwitzer Turbo

Man that is going to be sick not to mention probably sound sick too!
Its gonna really turn heads when people hear a boosted V8 sound from a G35.
Man I wish I had this motivation.
Awesome job so far.

Its been two exhausting days to put this motor together and get everything done right. There's still a few things so far that I'm not crazy about (like the pulleys). I've been considering perhaps anodizing them deep purple to match the Wilson Manifold fuel rails and offset the polished shine. Also, I painted the thermostat housing silver which I don't think looks very good with the cast iron look of the motor so I'll be looking into perhaps getting it polished or chromed out. Its all cosmetic stuff but I really want this motor to look as good as it will run.
THanks for the support!
