OP and Sharif, very nice build!!!

Why C16 for that hp level? Was it just an abundance of caution?

I believe they were shipped back to Greddy, or at least that was my understanding. They as still 18 g's, I had just remember hearing things in the past about modifying the 18's to 20g's and then the turbo's failing within a short period of time.

Thanks! Yep I'm planning on going to ZDayZ '10 for sure. I 'm even going to the fall Tail of the Dragon run next week! Should be fun!

Glad you are enjoying the car. Even on the lowest boost setting it's just a monster!

I thought I would share a few more pics, including this one of the original bad engine. I am no expert, but I think something isn't quite right here:
LOL, yeah I understand it took a little while to clean up the mess after my stock motor was pulled.

Thank you, it's great to be apart of the Forged army!

Way to stick with it after massive fail, these cars are sooo much fun with F/I it should be illegal. Upon further thought, most of our cars are illegal
Thanks! Illegal... Well I just don't know what your talking about, I got my inspection sticker just like everyone else does; I paid a friend who has a cousin that knows someone on the east side of town.

Your Avatar speaks louder than words!! LOL

We had originally hoped to make 600+ on a DD. I'm not complaining, the car feels really fast plus I have learned the hard way that it's better to be safe than sorry.

Yeah that's the plan. I am also trying to plan my mid tour leave for my upcoming Afghanistan trip around ZDAYZ. Just gotta get busy on my end so i can get the car to Sharif and let the fun begin. VQ37TT has a nice ring to it.

Congrats man. The first thing I noticed from the pictures was the difference in quality of work. I have been in your shoes before. I must admit, it felt nice to have my car done right, especially after it was mistreated at SGP. Congrats again and enjoy the car.

QFT!!! It's amazing how big the difference was , just in asthetic quality alone, not to mention performance.

I better cool it for now, my wife would give birth to Chewbacca if she found out how much I really spent. I do admit that I have thought about new Greddy 20g's (not modified 18g's). I also have a V2 replica kit I need to get painted and installed....

Also I have been playing with the idea of putting a built high compression VQ35de (maxima/altima) motor in my '04 Sentra SE-R.

I guess I got a fair chance with the race gas map but.... DAMN,,, $13.75/Gal!!! This trying to keep up with the ballers is either going to put me into the poor house or force me to get a 3rd job!

20g's + pump gas vs' 18g's with conervative race gas tune???

It would be interesting for sure.
