Thank you! I did created one there


Small update:

My friend's engine that was in my garage with a spun bearing turned out to be really bad. Both heads have noticeable cam lobe wear and every single bearing I've opened is damaged (although the crank doesn't look horrible)

I've also sold my complete TT kit including everything to ihiryu. Will be shipping it as soon as I get the engine out and hopefully we will see his review shortly after

I'm contemplating just buying a used engine from eBay but not sure if the sellers are trustworthy. Does anybody have other sources to buy engines?

Check craigslist? There are a few of them for cheap in my area... might be similar for you too!

Also a wreck yard - and don't forget to include G37's in your search (seems like a G engine is cheaper than a Z engine, even though they are the same).

Thank you for reminding me to check junkyards, especially for a G37 since I totally forgot. (Thought they knew that they are compatible)

I found a very close yard with a '13 AWD engine, just trying to figure out if it's compatible after I switch out the upper oil pan.

The engines almost out. Only thing left is to get the engine harness out of the car (just after I fished all my gauge wires through )

Good news! I've pretty much bought a '13 AWD G37 motor from a nearby junkyard.

It is getting delivered tomorrow for $900 including tax and deliver fee

I'm hoping to fire her up by the weekend and make sure that everything is perfect on this engine.

They list it as having 22k miles and I'm hoping that it maintained well

Engine out and new one almost ready to be put back. I had an idea the other day and wanted the opinion of you guys.

Trade my car for a g37x and redo the turbo kit on that? I haven’t seen anybody document an AWD turbo kit so thought it might be worthwhile?

You are going to be the new Sasha =) I remember in my 350z days he was documenting the construction of his midmount ST setup and everyone started asking if he could reproduce it.... hence BP was born.

You might go a similar route to him, and ask someone to volunteer their car for development in exchange for a deal on parts/kit. Would hate for the Z community to "lose" you =)

I have a G37, so I'm biased. But that said, there seems to be a MUCH larger number of poeple in the Z world who are interested in boosting their motors versus the G world. And it seems like anyone from the G world who IS interested in boosting their motor, knows to come over here to the Z community. So I'd say that if you're looking for a commercial splash, do it with a Z, and take the G customers as they come. Just my $.02.

That is probably not a good idea at this time, given the questionable history of RJ Manufacturing / VSR Motorsports / S&R Motorsports.
