Message Met up with this guy the other day here in town. I seen this Black car at an intersection and wasn't sure if it was a Z or not, because I was so far back from the light. But I went after it just to see. Always looking for new Z32 people to share info with. Sure enough as I pull up behind him it was a Black Z, then I drove by it and look over as it had no hood and I about crashed my truck in shock to see this massive motor, then a massive single turbo on it. So I had to meet this guy. So I followed him over to his house and we talk for a while.

Well, went back over last night to get more details on it, but he's going to come on here and do all that. There's just way to much to list. I know he was telling me that this is a stroker motor built to the hill with a T72 ( I think ) turbo. The car is full change, from a custom fuel cell in back, massive FMIC and so on. This guy is an awesome Fabricator and has made his own FMIC kits and is making mine. He made the exhaust manifold for this car, fuel cell, rewired the whole car and so on. You should hear this car at a light. Just doesn't sound right at all,,lol. This thing has a loud Muscle car Cam idle that is just scary. He said it only took him a week to do the motor swope and another week to do the turbo upgrade which came later.

Many coolers, with 3" core FMIC, 3" radiator all made by him

He has 3 different types of hoods for the car being made. Raised scope, cut center panel and some other design at work.

This turbo just looks massive and very intimidating with so much motor backing it up.

Check out that dash. Nothing is the same on this machine, gauges everywhere, A-pilar, dash, center console etc.

See the gas cap there on the rear panel? That's where the car fills up now and the fuel cell is under the rear carpet.

And heres the cell under the car with a full straight 3" exhaust pipe.

Here's his other project. I've seen this car around here in town a few times and the first thing that caught my eye was the FMIC. Then I knew he was for real and that ZBlacktt would met him someday,,,lol.

So he told me all about it. Massive NOS T-66 running machine here. He's running low 11's now and is trying to get around the rear diff breaking on him again to make it into the 10's. Car has water injection and much NOS.

The cars are in for the winter getting new stuff and reworked after the runs of last year. Look like a MSD system there on the right floor board.

So it was like after 1am when I got home last night and I got the just after 9pm and we talked in depth detail on my car, his car and others Z's that we know about. He's going to help me with mine and Fab my stuff. He knows all the shops that I've been looking for, for over 3 years that I wanted to make the move to a massive street Z.

He's very knowledgeable on duty cycle, EGT temps, power curves, cam lifts, timing, safe but high levels of NOS running. He's motor in his Z was built for a driver in NASCAR ( forgot name, but he'll tell ya on here ). Guy is just really smart and I was asking all the stuff I knew. So he's going to do all the pipe fabing to run my car's Pop chargers off to each side of the front of the car, build a custom FMIC with 3" piping. He wants my Jun Cams when they come in and was talking about grinding them to awesome spec's. So I'm hooking up with him and the shop where I do my Dyno's, because they to have an awesome array of machinery there with a Dyno to test and rework the car. All I can say now is I'm pumped and it's going to be fun as hell. But from talking to him and a few others. I can see why it takes so long now. Your sending parts out left and right to get coated, made, custom ordered, trail and error and time and money out the yang. But you only live once I say :)

Oh, and he has another 1991 TT Z out front that is modded too, just not this crazy as the Black one here or the RX. He's looking for a NA Supra now to convert to a Single Turbo Supra as well. He said it's a hella lot cheaper to go that route than to buy someone's 100k miles $30k turbo factory car.
