 ** new 7-22-09: **
The engine is now getting upgrades. It has been rebuilt and has Weisco pistons and Eagle rods and I am currently reassemblng the rest of the engine. Turbos have been upgraded to Garrett GT25R's (same thing Jim Wolf Technology uses for the 530BB kit). The Jim Wolf ECU and the piggyback fuel controller (SAFC-II) are getting replaced with a full standalone engine management system.

Transmission is stock 300ZX, the differential is an R180 (from a 240Z) converted to a limited slip unit. Aluminum RPS flywheel with an RPS street clutch.

Previously the car made 336RWHP, but with the new turbos and improved exhaust manifolds and downpipes 475RWHP is a realistic number on pump fuel.

Holy crap, I never thought I would find this car! I have been researching turbocharging systems and I found the Street Turbocharging book by Mark Warner. Your car is in the back of the book as an example of a quality turbo build for a daily driver! I loved the concept of this car and I love the quality of the build. Wonderful car! Advice from you would be more than welcome on my plans. 5*'s
