I started my built motor & twin turbo 350Z project about 2 months ago. I got the car back just yesterday No dynos b/c I still need to break-in the motor. After break-in, I'll have it dyno tuned and running ~12-13 lbs on pump gas.

Looks very nice.

 

how much did that run you?

 

Damnnnnnnnnnnn

edit: You should put a sign on the car saying " Wet Paint" .

 

automatic?

.....but otherwise, nice car

 

Ronnie, why did you go for the Auto ?

Still a gorgeous machine, and one hell of a motor now
Awesome, TT =

 

wtf is up with the auto ... otherwise

 

bet it hauls ass

 

Auto b/c it can launch that much power easier than a 6spd, gear ratios are a bit taller, and it was the cheapest Z in the condition I wanted it in I could find. The 6spd has it's own problems as well.

Thanks to everyone for the kinds words

 

i bet it's a beast. can't wait to see dynos and track times.


wheels look awesome too.

 

Pic of his exhaust system. Sounds beautiful!!!

 

Oh man, we were rolling side by side and he got on the throttle...

You could hear them twins spooling up!!

Once he gets through the break in period, it's going to be a monster!!

 

Ronnie have you been out drifting this thing, or is it just me to whom the rear tires look bald Btw, did i repeat what i said earlier , dayyyyyyyyyyyyyyymmmm

 

lookin' good ronnie! let me know when you're coming to diego. how many other TT Zs out there?

 

Sweet ride.

Best of luck.

 

thanks guys

dunno when ill be going to diego, gonna be really busy the rest of the year. there are quite a few Zs with turbos on the street, but not as many with internal work.

 

A TT 350 with upgraded internals, finally someone does something right. Good job, and i for one know that an auto is best for launching a high powered car. Get a higher stall converter and you will be a terror in the high way. The converter will flash and always keep you in the powerband.

 

Swwweeeeetttt!!! Nicely done

 

nice shyt... where in san mateo are u.. my uncle lives on Shoal

 

thanks Im near Delaware

 

that's awesome Ronnie!!

btw, it's Carrillo Rods, i have 6 of them too

 

damn!!! thats hot, good to see you did it rite..... how much did it all cost you?

 

doh! thanks astro.

 

Rims = sick!
Engine=sick!
Exhaust=cool!
Overall=

 

Overall is very sick!!!

 

Can't wait to see your dyno results. Excellent work!!!

 

very nice !

 

thanks guys

 

Me likey...

the VQ engine makes alot of power anyway, adding a turbo... NICE

And having auto isn't bad... some of the fasest cars in the world are autos, as long as you got a good tranny.

 

Too bad transmission =

 

Wow...

 

meh... for going in a straight line, especially from a stop, you can't beat the automatic.

 

I disagree.
Manual has greater advantage almost everytime due to lack of tq converter.
That's why you'll see manuals beat autos by half a second or so in the 1/4, given a competent driver.

The only exception I can think of is extremely high powered motors (500+ hp), where putting power down to the ground would be the largest hindrance, and the power loss due to the transmission would be negligible.

Not to knock the OP's ride though.
It's sweet, but would be sweeter if it had the 6 speed.

 

Manual transmissions are great for dyno numbers. But for launching at the track and for consistancy you can not beat an automatic transmission.

 

His car is likely to put over 500HP to the wheels. We should know by this week

 

Doubtful... 430 is a better guess. He's running pretty low compression.

 

The forged piston/rod combo is ~125g ligher each and by running lower compression I can turn up the boost with a larger safety margin given proper tuning. Another Z at the shop with the same setup (except it's a 6MT) on 100 octane dyno'd 530whp. On 91 octane, I should be 450+.

 

Im putting my $$$ on 470RWHP.
Any takers????

 

and just think when Ronnie runs 100 octane, he'll flip a switch and add another 30-50 WHP...

 

C'mon Ronnie, put that dyno up!

Oh, and it is over 430whp.
