GT Motorsports: 4.2L Stroker, VPro, APS TT, GTM BUILT 5AT, 600RWHP! *PIX*
Another beautiful car we had the chance to work on, Came in with a APS TT, SP built engine, and SP cams. and the customer wanted some serious power so here are the upgrades we preformed on the following vehicle:
"Beauty & a BEAST"
2006 Nissan 350Z Roadster
GTM 4.2L Stroker Kit
GTM Newly Designed 14MM ARP 2000 Head Studs
GTM Stage 3 Heads
GTM Stage 1 Turbo Cams
GTM Fully Built Stage 3 Automatic Transmission
GTM Spec Coating on Pistons and Bearings
GTM Spec 14" Dual Fan Upgrade
GTM Radiator Shroud (Polished Version)
GTM Spec ECU Flash
HKS FCon VPro Standalone Engine Management System
HKS Knock-Amp A/F Wideband
HKS EVC6 Boost Controller
HKS Navigator
HKS Oil Temp Sensor
HKS Fuel Pressure Sensor
HKS EGT Sensor
HKS Oil Pressure Sensor
Defi Gauges with D-Link
GReddy EVO TT Exhaust (Modified to remove 50mm bottle neck)
GReddy Strut Tower Bar
GReddy Oil Cooler
GReddy Transmission Cooler
Polished Manifold and timing cover
Volk GT-S Wheels with Toyo T1-R
Stoptech 4 wheel cross-drilled Big Brake kit 6/4Piston kit
APS Twin Turbo Kit
APS Extreme Fuel System
APS 3.5
Down Pipes
Samco Hoses
PWR Race Radiator
This car came to us orginally for diagnostic work, Andrew was disappointed with the power the car was making. He was told the car made 550rwhp (so he ordered custom plates to match that
) After doing a baseline dyno the car did not even make 350rwhp. So Andrew said "If my liscense plate says 545rwhp I need to have ATLEAST that". With that said we set forward feed his hunger for more power!
The car is in the break in process, our first tuning sesssion we were able to accomplish 520rwhp at 11psi. We made the wrong spring choice on these actuators so we had a hard time building more than 11psi of boost. Car will be back in a few weeks to change the springs and go for 600rwhp.
Enjoy the Pictures! We will be back after the car returns for new springs and tuning.
Dyno Chart of the car when it orginally came in:
Conservative 91 Octane Tune 11 PSI

We installed the BLUE springs first, we did not want to run a high base boost of 15psi. Looks like we are going to have to install the RED ones. Typically if you want to accomplish a 14-15 psi base actuator boost setting then red springs will be the way to go, just make sure the preload is set correctly.
With a boost controller you will have the ability to go up to 20 psi.
Yes we did use Forge actuators.
Take care Jason,

Wow... nice work.
Insane money in that setup, there. I'm looking forward to seeing what it's really capable of. I'm hoping those APS turbos can deliver as they'll be the limiting factor it seems (assuming that the tranny holds up).
You guys are doing a lot of custom high end build products and this car seems to showcase them all. Got any more specs on those head studs? What's the compression on the 4.2l stroker and those pistons? More info on radiator shroud?
