Today i shall be mostly feeling like a kid in a candy shop. I dont think ive said "ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh" to myself so many times in such a short period of time.

 

 

I feel it is my duty to share pictures of these parts with you. I shall spare you the tedious stuff like general gaskets, pumps and switches..... So here is the interesting stuff:

 

A general overview of lovelyness;

 

 

First up is these, Z1 Uprated Side Mount intercoolers:

 

 

 

To make the most of these (and the other parts) 2.5 inch bore intercooler piping finished in powdercoated glass black with new couplers and T bolt jubilees. Even at stock boost, these have proven to give 15fwhp, never mind on bigger tubs with more boost:

 

 

Which will be adapted slightly to fit my HKS SSQV dump valves (already on the car) so new mounting flanges were needed

 

 

Next up are these Garrett GT525 .54A/R turbos

 

 

Attached to these turbos will be these AMS Cast manifolds:

 

And these Alloy toyz 3 inch expansion turbo elbow/downpipe combo. They are gorgeous in the metal!

 

 

 

More AMS parts now, this time full lightweight underdrive pulley kit. The weight precisely sweet FA:

 

 

Fuelling the whole thing will be these Deatschwork 550cc injectors

 

 

To keep the boost nicely buttoned up, Cometic headgasket:

 

Now the internals. Ill be running ACL Duraglide conrod and crank bearings (not pictured) with these Eagle H Beam rods with ARP studs:

 

 

And these GORGEOUS Wiseco 87.5mm forged pistons with ultra glide side coating. Theyre fricking lovely!!!

 

 

 

To say im chuffed would be an understatement!!!

 

 

Bring it on!!!

some tasty stuff there, look forward to the progress pics but where the fook do you fit a pink elephant and a balloon?

Ooooh indeed - some nice additions there Nick; I bet you can't wait to get it all fitted....

Yes mate, theyre fairly small in the grand scheme of things, smaller than GT28R's, but theyre significantly bigger than stock. Recon i take Jimmers title as most powerful 4 bolt turboed zed in the UK

 

Very nice Nick was it your Birthday?:thumbup:

 

Cheers, no bud, just saving my nuts off

 

you didnt tell us you won the lottery, big congrats buddy :-p

Now get them off the living room carpet before your mrs kicks your ass :)

I'm already in trouble with the Mrs, she want happy when she came to bed last night to find a box of pistons on her side of the bed. Lol

Z1 has quite a good website. If you add contents to your cart it will give a shipping cost to your postcode.

Add about 20% for customs

Nice bit of shopping there mate, see us blokes can shop just as good as a woman can lol

 

On another note, due to Forged piston tops being different design to standard pistons, did you order any new oil squirters?

Total bill came to £4520 including the conversion costs that the bank charge. Customs was, shall i say, cheaper than it should have been thanks to a VERY conservative price declaration on the import slip. Less than £50

Thanks for the kind comments guys

We thought of doing that but if it got lost how could you have claimed for 4k odd when it states its only £50.00, A gamble I guess:thumbup1:

To be honest mate, I didnt ask for it to be declared as such, i was expecting a £400 bill. And as they posted it, it would be them forking out for replacement not me. Not that im complaining mind!
