I don't expect everyone to know about my car but i've owned it 5 years, it had brembos, alunox exhaust, chipped and i was at 340BHP.

 

Then about 2 years in i started uprating and putting it all on the shelf, turbos, radiator, clutch, injectors, smic, etc.

 

Another year passed and i took it to Noel, i had 580BHP and 504BHP at the wheels, so of course happy but not with all the smoking it did !!

 

1 year on, so the summer of 2014, i powder coated this and that and generally making under the hood more pleasing on the eye.

 

That brings me to where we are today, should be getting all this fit within the next 6 weeks and i'll no doubt receive pics and update as the build progresses. :thumbup:.

 

These are ball bearing turbo oil line restrictors bought, the plan is that these will eliminate the smoke i had on boost.

 

 

Some eagle connecting rods with race bearings, all these were an absolute steal at £255 delivered, bought from a private UK ebay seller :thumbup1:.

 

 

I'm sticking with 87mm bores, i was very happy with £380 delivered to the UK for these Wossners, but the duty stung real bad at another £96.00 :cursing:.

 

Looks like another Ten Of The Best team member in the making

sweet! looking forward to seeing this take shape. you got anything else coming?

What turbos do you have?

Your Z is evolving nicely Andy and thats a lot of power under that bonnet.

Who's building the engine?

you got anything else coming?

 

Only some gaskets, ester oil and stem seals but car as never smoked from cold though, we wanted really the engine pulling to fit the oil lines as it's not a two minute job, so can tie it all in and give it a proper going over.

 

Who's building the engine?

 

Just the bottom end re build Noel, Lee Dent as been sent all the stuff for that and then i take my car and we finish the job together, hopefully asap :cool3:.

 

Might well be booking it back in with you next year to see how much more it'll have - if any ? :yes:.

 

What turbos do you have?

 

Godspeed GSP600 churbos, haha :biggrin:.

So does it not have the internals modified at present then mate?

Is your bottom end dead then?

Very nice mate you must surely be due a COTM win soon :thumbup:

So does it not have the internals modified at present then mate?

 

All stock Lee.

 

Is your bottom end dead then?

 

Yes, a compression test was carried out on all 6 and it was not to my liking, i was contemplating forging anyway and as been on my mind ever since i upped the BHP, so time to do the internals which is a natural progression.

Uh oh competition !
