I'm new to the Z game and I have some questions about the best path to go to reach my goal with this car. I have a 92TT and I want to be around 450whp comfortably. So with that being said, here are my questions:

Should I go with any aftermarket internals? If so, what kind..
What kind of turbos should I go with?
Would the Z1 side mounts be better than a front mount?

That's all the questions I have for now, but I'm sure I'll think of more lol.. Thanks for the help in advance.

Welcome to the forum! Hope you find all the information you're looking for here.

Stock internals are plenty for 450RWHP. I could have hit that if I didn't gap my plugs too big.

Sport 500s can get you there, so can 530s. If buying new, I'd suggest Sport 530s. Also Z1 GT600R will get you there.

Z1 SMICs are definitely better than a front mount. Most front mounts are garbage for the Z32. Exceptions are the HKS FMIC, and the T0M's (TDM Works) FMIC.
