| Work begins. This car has been a 3 year or so ordeal, and has sat most of the time. He picked out the Apollo FMIC when it first came out, so I had no way to dissuade him from the purchase. It looks good, mounted up fine... 
This is a custom rubber hose we had to cut up in order to get the intercooler piping to fit up correctly. 
Whatta mess.... 
How he was gonna leave the motor before i got my hands on it.... 
Polishing work I did to his plenum.. I'm such a nice guy... He went through some tough times (maybe you saw this post of his) so I did this to hope and cheer him up. 
Motor after i did all the polishing/cleaning work. 
Motor dropped in... 
B&M Huge Oil cooler (plus my custom brackets) =) 
We're almost there... I finished up all the custom intake piping today, installed the RVM hard pipes (which are very nice, even come with hose techniques silicone). We put a ton of money into stainless lines for the turbos and for his fuel setup. That is all finished now... We have to figure out a way to mount of the electric fan, finish up the doolz, and wiring, and a bunch of other little stuff. We're waiting on TT petes exhaust, and idle air controller/valve and then we should be ready to rock. 
Even after all the work and money he still is planning on selling the car =( to buy a house. I am hoping that a few drives in the car will help change his mind... The full mod list and his story from classifieds:
I have invested 40K + into this vehicle and now you can own it for less than half of what It has cost to get it to this point. My fiancé left me for another man. My life is ruined and I no longer have the time and effort to put into this vehicle. I am selling this to the highest bidder. I will consider all offers.
The car is a 90 Twin Turbo black with black interior and the mileage on the chasis is 103,000. the car is manual transmission. This Z has never been involved with a wreck, the title is clear. The only things that need done to drive this car are the following; the motor is completely built but needs to be installed, the body needs a front bumper, paint job, seats, and tires. The car has a stillen rear valance and kaminari wing (factory style but longer). I also have a bomex replica rear bumper and sideskirts.

The turbos were custom built to spool fast and hard. They were dyno tested before complete rebuild and produced 450 HP at 14psi running regular gas in a stock motor. With the current setup this motor will produce a lot more HP numbers on the dyno. Someone can benefit from my pain and save some mega money doing it. I need to get rid of this IMMEDIATELY, and if I am not satisfied with offers I will be parting out so keep that in mind for the future.
