That is a 1990 300ZX TT. With a front mount intercooler and the air intakes moved out to where the stock intercoolers are located.

That block is getting a set of Wiseco rods and pistons, balanced crankshaft. My old heads are getting decked and port & polished. Altogether the block should be good for four digit power, which is ridiculous and no where near my goal. Still need to purchase two new turbos, the ones I'm leaning towards are good to 625 bhp.

Car rides on a set of Tein EDFC adjustable coilovers and 235/40/18 fronts and 275/40/18 rears

Thanks. I thought it was a rocket at 400hp. Turned the boost up a bit too high to run with a Supra and got shown what real turbo power is!

Piston #6 turned itself into a trillion little bits

Me thinks we should build up one of your zero turns! I foresee a big shot of NOS on top of a turbo.... Lets do it!!
