Finally all the parts of my build are either in the garage or in the mail. After an accident in late july my Z is transplanting her motor and drivetrain into a donor car from AZ. With the help of some awesome ttnet members and a bit of business aptitude i've assembled a decent list of things to add to an already very strong engine that ran over 320 @ the wheels. 2 Gt28RS turbos (massive things, a LOT bigger than my buddy's evo16Gs in his 600whp VR4, creepy big like. and they spin so freeeee... :-D )
got all the oil lines and EGR elim stuff
740CC DW injectors (with adapters)
2 widebands
1 zemulator ECU
MSP manifolds
SZ expansion knockoffs by alloy toys (budget limitations) 3"
fabbing 3" test pipes to the greddy catback exhaust i already have
1pc driveshaft
1 good tuner/builder/fabricator to make it all work. car already has a light flywheel, JWT intake, and an apexi-avcr which will be badly needed to keep the rear end somewhat in line in low gears (gear based boost control is a good idea with something like this). Transplant should start today, along with a t-belt replacement, all the mods, fabrication, etc. The guy doing this stuff is nuts, he's had his hands on many a VR4 in the northeast if not most of them and builds silly stuff on a daily basis. Should be interesting to see how it comes out. Need to undo all the "body mods" done to the new chassis. its got an aftermarket front bumper, skirts, and a wing the size of a battleship. worst part is that it looks like it was spray painted flat gray in a garage, door jams are still the silver 91 color (like my old car). Suspension in the new car seems to be in decent condition, but we'll know better when we have it up - supposedly has a full energy suspension kit, oughta be interesting. We're aiming for ~500rwhp on pump, from all i've read and heard thats pretty easily achieved on this setup. What do you guys think of this setup, decent idea?
