Bump. Added more pictures. We/customer made some changes mid build. We also waited for delivery of a couple of oem and aftermarket components for quite awhile. Nonetheless, the car is done and in the break-in stage. I'll post final numbers as soon as we got'em.

What's the funky vent-looking thing on the BOV? Those look like HKS SSQV BOVs, right? I was also curious if you did any larger IC piping or rod bearing changes. Looking forward to more updates!

Given the build, it should be about between these 300ZXTT dyno graphs. Neither car used nitrous during the dyno. The lower HP car has 2530 turbos and the higher curve has 3071 turbos compared to the OP's car which has 2860s.

The higher HP curve was 32psi, but it runs 34-36 at the drags.

Was that your car's dyno graph? If so how do you like the GT3071's? Alot of the 240sx guys are complaining about boost creep using internal gates and was woundering how it works on the Z? A smaller engine feeding them might not be an issue 1.5l Vs. 2.0l

Wonder why on the 300zx people do 30+psi on the 3071, but on the 350z they are scared to go over 20psi?

Cast iron block, forged internals, and way lower compression ratio would be my top 3 reasons. A good tune trumps all though. I'd be scared to run more than 6psi in our 350ZR on the stock engine and 91 octane.
