Hi guys.
Had my 350 about 4 years now here in England. Absolutely love my Z. Everything about it. The power, the sound, the aesthetics.
It's been off the road now for 1.5 years. I had a twin turbo conversion using the discontinued Power Enterprise kit.
I was very happy with the 430hp/369 ib/ft it delivered at 4psi. Previously it had a tuning package which comprised of HKS panel filter, Motordyne plenum spacer and uprev tuning.
Additionally I had a Scorpion cat back exhaust. All this made 298bhp. Can't remember torque figures.
Aaaanyway. Long story short, blew the motor. It developed major bearing knock so I parked it and left it 1.5 years on my driveway until I had the money to fix it. Parts and labour are so much more expensive here than the US, due to our huge amount of tax we pay.
At the same time as the turbo kit was installed I got them to fit test pipes.
Got a fully built, custom bottom end rated to 700hp.
Most recently I bought Mishimoto cooling in the form of radiator, oil cooler and uprated fans. A set of drilled and grooved Mtec discs and pads, too.
Currently in the workshop having all the parts mentioned above installed
Only going to run 500hp after breaking in the engine so that it's well within tolerances.
Mods; I couldn't find an "introduce yourself" section so I posted here. Feel free to move it to the right section.
My build thread is here...

Hope to make some friends and share a few laughs on here as well as knowledge.
