Car is pretty much done @ Genesis Racing and Development in Naperville, IL (GRD). The experience has been great and I'm really looking forward to breakin in the new motor! GRD has been excellent with updates and communication and I can't believe it's getting done as fast as it is. I will probably pick up the car later this week...more pics and details later on! Goal right now is to MAX out the APS single turbo do its limit. Stage one is complete and after tuning, hopefully I can get the car to the low to middle 400's. Next spring (stage II), I will invest in a better EMS and fuel system, then.. let's see if we can get to 500rwhp or more... stay tuned!

a few teasers!!!

 

Wow I can't believe this is happening; so quick too! Congrats man and PLEASE swing by when you are done! I think I'm more excited than you; lol! BTW; does the APS kit have an internal wastegate?

Is this a scooby motor?

 

^ how did that get in there?

 

mods edit please.

 

OH OH Baby

Fastest 350z in the midwest?

 

no. maybe fastest single turbo Z.

 

APS designed an " internally divorced wastegate" for the single turbo.

 

 

btw, those who have heard the APS wastegate sux, it was a problem with the actuator (really lose spring), so the early models could not hold up boost. Since then, APS has corrected that problem.

 

! man nxt meet u attend i want a personal invitation! i dont want to miss out seeing that beast...

 

There are a ton of fast Z's in the Chicago. My friend Brian's APS TT Z ran 11.68 on DRs and will probably run a few tenths faster due to the work he has done on the suspension. He adjusted his camber and bought hardened axles, so he can run slicks. There is also a black Z with a built motor that Brian is friends with that puts down some sick numebers.

Synth, turn up the boost. 500 whp isn't breaking a sweat for your setup. 600 whp should be your goal

 

that must be exciting. a little power boost FTW!

we'll leave that first pic in there so people can see a real mans' motor, lol.

 

On the single turbo, I doubt I can get it that high. Besides, my goal is around 500rwhp. I still want to be able to drive this car on the street.

 

Wow crazy.

 

lol! GRD probably does more suby's then anything....

 

With all these fast cars on the street, I need to step up my game. Kenne Bell might be getting a call pretty soon and a prescription for 450-475whp will be issued

 

Come down to SoCal, I want to check it out!

 

woohoo!!!

cant wait to see the finished project

..and i envy the hell out of you.

 

Sweet!

 

damn!!

nice

 

very nice, wish I had a fast car

 

looking good, it's gonna be a beast.

 

looks sick, how much does something like that typically go for?

 

Nice setup - can't wait to see the final outcome

 

nice..can't wait to see it done, make sure you break it in slowly

 

Wow.

 

I looked at that picture and was like :wtf: 2 cylinders???

 

man, just got back from the shop... it looks so sweet! Install, one of the cleanest I've seen... I also saw the notorious suby motor... lol!!! I'm still waiting on an oil temp gauge, if it doesn't get here by Friday, then fck it, I'll pick up the car on Saturday.... importtuner, will let ya know when it arrives bro!

 

dont want to be a whore and start another thread, but the wheels have arrrived...












tires hopefully tomorrow or Friday...

 

Let me know if you wanna meet up for some pics and maybe vids

 

Just me, or with the car?

 

you on the car

 

Looks great... it's like you're getting a new car... first the bodywork, then the engine and wheels

Flat-fours forever

I was scratching my head at first reading the post saying "damn, where did the other cylinders go"

 

First of all, my oil temp hasnt arrived yet... so GRD installed my wideband in the third pod location temporarily. Once the oil temp comes in, I'll move the innovate to a single pod on the A-Pillar. Here are some pics:























:icon38:

sneak preview:

 

Seriously, do you want me to take pics for you.

 

lol! Let me get teh rims in and wash the car... I'll hit ya up this week!

 

I'm the only chicago sala on this site that doesn't have a fast ride

 

^ did you forget what i drive?

 

are you going to move the A/F guage to a single pod on the pillar once your other Saga guage comes in?
