Overkill Z

LOL thanks scottie..no worries man i may be a young kid compared to you (i dont kno how old u are) but Im not goinna do something stupid. Yes im doing a full roll cage in the car as well and a custom paintjob. I even plan to roll cage the engine bay around the motor. But i heard somewhere thats illeagle on the track??? Im tryn to win some shows here buy building a truley amazing and unusual car. Its going to be a showcase to how much detail and care we put into our customer cars here at B.customs.

ya im working on the porting of my head right now... its going to be a 6 speed too if i can friggn find one! but i like your set up its very clean and tidy. but damn that car goessssss lol

whats your set up zgad?

ya im going for a 1000 crank power...and I have built a supra up for the shop(793 crankhp). so i know about the turbo lag but its not going to be a straight drag car and the GTK series is a new product from turbonetics. Im going to be trying it out because i hear good things. its supposed to be a extremely fast spooling turbo and capable of huge amounts of boost (we will see). The car is going to be a show car first and an advertising tool second, Of course its going to be a toy 3rd. As for the Rods i was told by titan reps that i dont need any bottem end work for 1000hp. I expected to need more things but titan narrowed it down for me. Im building the motor to 1000hp capabuilitys but i honestly dont ever plan to run it that high except for dyno pulls or any unsespecting lamorgini lol. Anything over 600hp without drag slicks is pretty much usless in such a light car anyways.

what internals did you do??

yes im still in the process of building the 2jz in my shop. The head is off the block and i was able to inspect everything. The cylinder walls are in great shape and still have the factory cross honing done! The head gasket is in good shape as well, so the motor seems to be a heathy buy. This week im going to port and polish the head and 3 angle cut the valves. I also plan to order the titanium valve springs, seals and cams.

lame...anyways and update on the B.customs Z...i took it to the porche dealership (because they have a amazing 4 point scale). I want to see how much of a differance the 2jz swap really does to the cars handeling performance. I got the Z checked out and was blown away!!!! The tech said that the Z has a better wieght distrabusion then a PORCHE GT!!!! here are my specs BEFORE the 2jz goes in. FRONT LEFT ------------648LBS TOTAL FRONT -----------1300LBS FRONT RIGHT------------650LBS TOTAL CAR 2610LBS REAR LEFT ----------644LBS TOTAL REAR --------1305LBS RIGHT REAR--------661LBS THIS WAS DONE WITH A FULL TANK AND NO DRIVER, SO AS YOU CAN TELL THE RIGHT SIDE/REAR IS MORE BECAUSE OF THE LOCATION OF THE TANK. The guys at porche were blown away... god i love Z cars lol

your kidding me right??? its so hard to justify myself spenging 1800 bucks on a computor :/ but now u say they are going up? damn thats soooo not cool lol

i would like to give a SHOUT OUT to John at turbochargers.com who helped me out with my turbo. oh and i did get that free boost guage from kiesha Is that a good shout out john? lol

sweet i still need to get my rear sump pan they are friggn hard to track down! also make sure mine is extra strong i really am planning to hit 1000hp now. instead of the 600 i told you

oh ya you can add me on myspace at www.myspace.com/lbrtcustoms and the website is www.bertollis.com

AMEN MATT

its not that bad about the size of his but its a little wavy around the window wiper...doesnt come up well in photos... but universal is goinna pay through the nose for it.

he is much shorter then expected!!! thats justin lin (director) next to him.....hes short and vin is not too much taller then him while on my car he walks wierd and looks wierd in person... P.s im selling the motor in that car in the for sale section....

the pictures are grainy because when he was on set they wouldnt let u take pictures with cameras so i had to sneek in a few shots with my phone..and yes it was very disrepectful and i was very angry....i was walking up to him and a production team memeber stopped me and said "i understand...i understand dont worry if theres any damages we will pay for it" and i told him to get vin off my car...and he said ok and walked away....its all good tho since i work at a bodys shop i wrote up an estimate and got some from some of my buddies for over 2 grand...and they should be isuing me a check soon......

uh wierd i havnt done that to any of them

hey guys its mike with B.customs as you all already know aziza and I had a LONG WEEKEND....anyways the story is true vin diesle is on my ♥♥♥♥ list... he sat on my car and caved in the widshield cowling a little bit with his ass....i was so fuckn pissed i was walking towards him to tell him to get off and some production guy told me that he understood and not to worry...if there was any damage that they would take care of it...well they sure are! vin was an ass and had no respect for anyone. I was talking to mechelle rodrigus alot tho shes awsome lol.... anyways here are some of my pics forgive me they are from my cell phone. arg all i can do is links http://viewmorepics.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.editAlbumPhoto&albumID=904112&imageID=8830379&MyToken=3f43784a-383b-4717-ac24-c687f7160479 http://viewmorepics.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.editAlbumPhoto&albumID=904112&imageID=8830386 http://viewmorepics.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.editAlbumPhoto&albumID=904112&imageID=8830376 http://viewmorepics.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.editAlbumPhoto&albumID=904112&imageID=8830372

They have already began filming the movie...we have not gottn any calls about them using our cars so i dont know if aziza has gotten a call or not. I also Heard Vin diesle crashed a s2000 already ( www.modifiedpages.com) has the article. It is still possible that they will call for using our cars because they only gave us a couple days warning for the casting call!!!
