Some very nice looking cars. Your car is looking really good Big-Phil.

I want to run the times you hit on your bad runs. Good luck with the tranny.

My Other money pit. It runs 11's @ 123mph

What coating did you go with on your headers?

you guys make some amazing cars.

Awesome work 1 fast Z. Did you ever get dyno numbers for the new setup.

That is a wicked machine!

Very nice. Congrates.

That looks very nice. Good work.

I kind of like the front but the rest is not my taste.

How is it coming Dr_Hunt?

I may have missed it but what was the weight of the lq9?

Sounds like a really fun project. I look forward to seeing it come together. What did the car do a the track n/a?

looking good. how is the exhaust going to exit? Threw the fender or a really tight 90?

It will definitely be seeing the dyno. I'm hoping in a week or so. I want to get a conservative street tune and some miles on the motor first. Awesome, good luck. So far so good. I really liked it on my integra.

looking good stony.

Very nice. Congrates on the times.

Thanks everyone. I got the intercooler and piping back on and they look great. I fill the coolant, got the last few wires inside the car hooked up. I also had some fun with sheet metel. I made a battery box to hold my Odyssey PC680 battery and some air diverters in the front grill area. Oh yeah.. It Runs http://videos.streetfire.net/video/Turbo-LS1-LQ4-240z_716451.htm

Very nice. How much more do you have to go?

very nice looking!

Thanks for the info. I am concerned with the coil packs. I'm contemplating relocating the coils on that side. I had though about doing an additional heat sheild but there isn't alot of room. My logic in routing the piping was to keep the hot pressurized air near the hotter part of the engine bay and the cooled off air away from the exhaust. That is why I ran the only steel pipe (because of the bov flange) on that side of the car. The rest of the system is aluminum. If I went straight back it would go directly over the turbine housing. I talked to the techs at my local shop Action Hose and they assured me it would be okay. I agree and my still change this out too. It has atleast 2 inches from the header and exhaust and is anchord so that it shouldn't move. Not sure which plastic parts you are talking about. Nothing is actually touching the hot parts. The engine bay is cramped for sure and I know heat is going to be a problem. Thanks for all your input!

I haven't decided what to do about the hood. I want to get some more safety equipment before I start on cosmetics.

Test fitting the hood to make sure everything clears. I hooked up my breather/catchcan setup. I'm running a line from each valvecover and a line from the valley cover. Two 5/8 lines and one 3/8 hose. I also hooked up the tps sensor and wired in one of my sqc boost solenoids as a idle air control valve. In an attempt to keep the engine bay looking cleaner I'm running 3 lines off the bottom of the edelbrock elbow. They go to the IACV, intake air temp, & blow off valve. I got the new blow off valve flange/pipe welded, painted and installed. Here is a picture of the ams-1000 boost controller solenoids. I just finished reading the manual and this thing is wicked! The coolant lines are installed. I was chasing my tail on this one. I had one line I couldn't install because the compressor housing was in the way. I pulled it off, installed the line then couldn't get it back on. Finally I loosened the turbo bracket and undid the exhaust. I was so sad. But I got it all in there now. 2 steps back to get 1 step forward. It's almost there now. I got the engine oil in, the trans fluid is good to go. I need to get the intercooler back on, fill the coolant, gas tank, check the rear diff, and hookup a couple more wires inside the car.

I like the damper setup. It was a total pain putting on my crank damper! I ended up using 2 different length bolts.

That looks really nice. I like your mounting bracket too. I already cut up my intercooler so I'm going to stay my course. Alright guys I would like your input. I'm really on the fence between 2 brake set ups. The vented 300zx w/ toy calipers $445 for a 10.8 inch rotor or The AZC kit $790 for the 12.2 inch rotor What are other higher powered z's running? Does any one know the actual weight difference? I have read that the azc need to be shimmed, do the 300zx need to be? I found this thread so far but would still like input. http://forums.hybridz.org/showthread.php?t=146171
