Hello, I came across this site, and wanted to show you my Z31. Seems as if the Z31 is the most unpopular Z car. Most seem to think you cannot get power form the VG30et. Well this is what I have came up for it. 450-500 rwhp estimate. Will dyno soon Hope you like it.

what are some specs on that turbo and engine? thats a crazy looking turbo relocation thing you've got going from the stock manifold. I like it!

Thanks. The T-4 .84/Otrim turbine t04e 50 trim turbo would not fit between the framerail and the motor when I lowered the motor to fit that intake under the hood, plus I wanted an external gate that used all 6 cylinder pulses to control it! The flow out of the turbo and the wastegate into the downpipe couldnt be any straighter. Thanks for the compliment.

that is AWESOME! I've got a softspot for the Z31's my first Z was a Z31, your not alone in your quest for power in the Z31 I've seen some pretty bad Z31's I think they were getting 400WHP with the basic I/C bigger turbo/fuel injectors, etc, that thing looks to be a monsterI love the intake, I was thinking about hybrid z31 intakes recently looks like you came up with a better solution, and we deffinitlely want to see those dyno sheets!

I just bought the SDS for my future project. Nice ride man, very nice. I love to see guys fabbing their own stuff. I'm a HUGE DIY guy. As soon as I used my Mig the first time, I've been fabbing suff ever since.

My next project is a total VG30DETT reworking. New intake mani, exhaust manis and it's all going into my 240. Good times ahead.

Sweet. You give me hope for my VG30E. Even if mine is tranverse.

I'm not usually a fan of the looks of the Z31, but sometimes I'll come across one that's done right, and brings it all together, and can't get over how great they look. Yours definitely fits in that category.

Is that your TL I see in the background of the engine pics?Very nice. I hadn't seen a black one before--looks good (I love black). It's one of the few good looking modern cars out there.

did you custom make that intake manifold or did you have someone make it for you also what wheels are those?
