ok well im adding the go to my show. Im rebuilding my motor and will be adding the oversized wiseco pistons.

i have already ordered the nismo 555 injectors, Z1 ecu chip.

although im not sure if i wanna add upgraded turbos yet as i am already spending about $4100 but know that it will save me money on labor later on.

Im lookin to make around 500 to 550hp at the motor.so i was thinking the JWT 530 BB turbos would be the best for my situationwhat do u guys think?

Ill need a boost controller but not sure about ne thing else ill need with the upgraded turbos. will i need upgraded intercoolers?

btw i still havent decided on a clutch yet... any recommendations?

I would personally go with the JWT 530BB turbos, and upgraded intercoolers would be a good idea too. Your Z is gonna be one sweet Z, I can't wait to see it done.

If you're aiming for 500-550 crank (~400-450whp) then the 530's will do it, also I think z1's gt525 does 430whp on pump gas too for about the same price.

Both will do it with less lag than the GT2560R's and will probably be a bit cheaper too.

GT2560R's and a bit of nos to help with the lag if you want to have some sub-4000 rpm punch and quick spoolup (can't have the best of both worlds, but this is a nice cheap alternative). They have a ceiling of around 670 crank hp so they can do 600 without being too stressed. Obviously a lightened flywheel and platinum/carbon 1 piece driveshaft will get you spooling several hundred rpm sooner and offer generally quicker engine response.
