Tokico Illumina shocks and springs. Energy sussp Sway bars. Much much more..... It made around 250whp/270wtq at 9PSI It made around low 300WHP/330WTQ at 15PSI This motor is on stock block and head. No port work has come into play yet. I am in the prosses of getting a newly forged block built to put in the car, And a build head. The car has been completely gutted. I will keep everyone updated on the progress. The LS1 280z is owned by Power Fab, they are a local shop hear in Houston,TX. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ModernS30 Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 Wow you guys had a DJ and everything there? Lol A pimpin dyno day... Have you ever been to a Dyno/shop promo event? Most of the times they have a BBQ or some sorta food or snacks, and drinks. They open the shop for you to walk around (only a little bit) and see the cars they are working on. Then they have like a car show and a DJ or something like that going on. Its all just a good bit of promotion and they present prizes for certain things on the dyno. Such as highest N/A hp, highest F/I hp, guess your HP at certain rpm, lowest hp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MazterDizazter Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 (edited) If you bought it already built, did you pay more or less than $15k, if you don't mind telling? I'm guessing more, judging by the looks of it Edited July 30, 2010 by MazterDizazter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrismiller5157 Posted August 2, 2010 Author Share Posted August 2, 2010 It was fair. Some would say i payed to much and others would say it was a great deal, some people are cheaper then others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MazterDizazter Posted August 2, 2010 Share Posted August 2, 2010 Just wondering; I'm pondering the idea of buying a well-built car and saving myself the time, money, and headache of doing everything myself... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrismiller5157 Posted September 4, 2010 Author Share Posted September 4, 2010 Well my dad and power fab have decided that the 240z could use a new and better motor. So we are swapping the stock L28 turbo motor out for a 3.1 Stoker witch will be turbocharged. The motor is ready for install and things should Begin to move along next week. Along with this swap there will be different clutch used. Bigger FMIC Turbo shafts. Quafie rear end. And 750cc injectors. I will take many photos and post.
