The costs are literally to much to list, then end result I can say yes the wallet got a huge hit and it hurts. But dayuum the wait and cost of this build is 1000% satisfying I've never been put in the back of my own seat, amazing feeling!!!

Agreed, sounds BEAUTIFUL! Might I ask what exhaust setup you're running? Is it still the TDX2 listed in your profile description? (And that description still says you're going for an n/a setup. )

What made you change out your Volks for the Works, and are they 18's or 19's? Love this car man, keep it up!

Exhaust is a dual 3" custom exhaust And my TE37s are at home I only changed to 18s because they have BFG KDW drag radials

MM your car is in my top 3 on my350z.

I am really jealous of your build. I love the turbo spool too. I'm running 13 psi myself, but the external wastegates are so loud you can barely hear the spool.

Love the TT kit you have man.

Thanks So much guys!!! The car feels really amazing! Sucks that I don't get to drive it much, still haven't put in 500 on it. For its first oil change to be done by yours truly. But I only have around 350 miles on it, I might do it sooner like 400 miles maybe. Also YES the recirculated wastegates are amazing you can here everything and not exaggeratedly loud you just feel the hard pull.

Trying to read through to find it, but was it stated if this engine is bored out/stroked or not?

MM, is this stock 3.5 liters?


You should do a parts list post!

Block is sleeved, but sleeves come in exactly 95mm so you have bore slightly and hone to fit OEM sized Pistons (95.5mm).

I was planning on going to car and coffee in Austin but I don't know about that anymore.
How is the spec twin on the street? Can you slip it pretty good, like stock? I'm thinking about upgrading away from a super single for going with similar sized turbo's as yours, but need a different clutch as mine will poop out. But good thing is my super single slips like stock

Let me tell you Juztin!!! The car feels like Stock NO BS!!! I absolutely love it!!! It might also be because of the great installation and of coarse paired with ZSpeed heavy duty CSC and Master Cylinder. I've always had this though in my head that twin disc clutches were very harsh and kind of annoying after a while but DAYUM!!! This Spec Super Twin SS trim is awesome! 🤘🏻😬🤘🏻

Hahah, sweet! I'll very likely acquire it as it clearly can hold massive power; and with your real-world driving feedback sounds like it's what I'm looking for, thanks!

I'm have around 550 miles on it barely. It feels a little too powerful, 10 psi is doable but when I attempted to use my 2nd setting at 15psi at 75mph I lost traction so bad that I almost ended up in a ditch. LOL good thing I already have 305 ET Streets coming my way.
