OMG... I finally took a day off. It's to watch the SUPER BOWL and take them back. Thanks for all the complements guys. I have a bunch of stuff in my garage that I need to install on the car, but haven't had time. Stillen body kit, Tein's, kickplates, RL Endlinks and some other stuff. I'll try to post more often when I have a chance.

There are a bunch of little stories since I got my car back. RSX's, Civics, Mustangs, and some other cars. To me it just seemed like whipping on a NSX was big since those cars are like "THE SIHT" in the Honda world :ohno: <~~~~~ :rotflmao .

there will be vids. I maybe picking up a new turbo next week, and I already have the IC and BOV sitting at home. Once I get the Wastegate and the and a few other little things for tuning and monitoring, it will be time to do some fabbing of the piping.

honestly, i'ts not as hard as some people think it is. Just as long as you have good parts and the right tools to make the piping to have everything fit. I think I may buy one of those ebay kits and boost my G35 at the same time.

Rick, i forgot to ask you all the times we talked. Did you also get a motor build, or is it still stock internals? If it's still stock, might want to get it tuned down a bit to preserve the motor. with our high compression ratio, that much power under boost is a recipe for disaster.

That was a question I had too. If (and that's a big if) I go this route with my car down the road, I'm curious about this. I may do the internals for longevity's sake.

At the same time, the LSD and the transmission... I wonder how they will stand up to that kind of power? I was wondering if you've done a good, hard run around the track on it and if the LSD was doing its job in the corners under that kind of power.

LOL the curse of being the first one to have all this done will get you a 14-million-question thread, RickiC. HA

The engine can handle up to 450whp but can it handle it consistently is the question? I guess it would be a question for those who have boosted their 350z's with the same engine.

most of the Zs and Gs that are putting down over 400whp don't last that long with stock internals. 10-15K miles depending on the tune. the ones under 400 last a long time. I've been researching for my own car's plans and that why i'm aiming for no more than 375whp. I can't afford to replace a motor.

Yeah, I see what you're saying. It's really dependent upon how much you drive. My Coupe is no longer my DD so going above 400whp might be ok although I do plan to upgrade the engine over the next few years (after my trans swap is done that is).

Sorry for getting back to you guys so late. My engine has all stock internals. I'll eventually build the whole engine in the future. No rush for now on doing it ASAP. When I drive my car I keep the boost control at low boost. I RARELY get on the gas pedal heavy. I've been enjoying driving my frontier and Sequoia's resently since I've been working longer distances.
