lmk when you guys go up, the baltimore tunnel is always fun :driving:

Well as I understand, Jim Wolf Technologies works almost exclusively with Nissan motors. The cams have been developed with VVEL / engine specifics in mind and aim to have that perfect boost:back pressure ratio to prevent loss of power. The turbo cams I'm receiving are being custom built for this setup. But I am by far the least qualified person to speak extensively on this complex technology...where's my boy Daelen at?

:iagree: I remember 6 years ago when 400whp was fast and was the quest for most people! Then there was the whole "Real fun starts at 500whp" deal. And now 600 is becoming the new norm for a fast car..lol.. Gotta love technology I guess.

600 to the wheels is plenty fast. Most people will find the ditch with that kind of power under their control. Then you have the people that actually respect the power and take time to become one with their machine before taking things to the edge.

Side side note
 

My new favorite jacket finally came in.

Nice

So we had the same thought but after a very, very lengthy chat (A few chats actually lol) with JWT about the results we had with the NA motor, we should see power come on a little faster, and make comparable power at lower boost levels with the C1 cams. As the cams get larger (C2 and beyond) Turbo Vs NA applications will be taken into consideration for specific needs. But with how minor the changes are on the C1s, the guys that build these, that are way more knowledgeable than me, have zero concerns. So with that we are real excited to get a set of these into Jades car and get some tangible information.

As more info and applications are sorted out with JWT I will keep everyone informed to the best of my ability!

Engine, cams, pistons and bearings all in the machine shop! Turbo kit is fully paid off, now I just have to sit back and wait. Which is basically impossible because the weather in Virginia has been incredible, and I live in an area where you see more Porsches than Hondas. Fast Intentions and MA have been superb. I couldn't be more excited!!!! I spend wayy too much time daydreaming about being behind that wheel on a beautiful day like today. Even bought the Corky Bell book to keep myself in the boosted state of mind :). I'll keep yall posted on any and all developments!

Critical reading if you are going to boost a NA car:tup::tiphat:

Somehow I missed this thread. Excited for your results.

Is this the first built block FI TT? Oh the possibilities:driving:

Not at all! hjo1078 is my car mentor, and he's putting down at least 641 to the wheels on a built block with basically the exact same setup. Only difference for me will be those cams. He's also got bigger injectors and a fancy aftermarket LSD. It's been great to have someone providing extra tips along the way. Thanks HJ!

Did not realize there was a Fast Intentions TT built block running around

Yea his car has been running for a while but I believe he was running out of fuel so his numbers are pretty conservative.

'Conservative' :rofl2:

I assume this was a voluntary built block and not a rebuild of one that let go?

It's always good to have people to bounce questions off. That's why I love this boosted VQ community, we all are more than willing to help each other out.

For a built motor of course. Lol

Yea he built it before the twins went on

Nice build!!! I'll just leave this here...

more pretty pictures
 

Courtesy of MA Motorsports - these pics literally get sent straight to my phone from Daelen. Can't stress enough the high level of professionalism from both of these vendors (MA and FI). I've probably sent and received at least 60 emails and calls between the two of them. Anyway here's some more pics of beautiful shiny metal objects - torque plate, block, pistons rods bearings etc. Block and rotating assembly are almost complete! Thanks Daelen for the constant updates. So happy I went with MA.

PS I have done absolutely ZERO work today. Way too excited. It's going to be a long night catching up lol.

:happydance:

So is that your engine block or a spare one?

LOVE THIS! CAn't wait to see the vids and smile on your face! Weather has been Juuuust getting lower here in Az. Can't wait to turn it up when it's a nice cool 70 or below! Oh boiy!

I AM TRYING TO REMAIN CALM HOWEVER THIS POST DESERVES ALL CAPS BECAUSE MY TURBO KIT SHIPS TODAY FOLKS TTTOOODDDDAAAYYYYYYY!!!!!!!

On that note I have to stress how grateful I am to FI and MA. Don't even care how thirsty this sounds bc it's so important to recognize the work of others. Sometimes I just don't feel worthy because in reality, I just write the checks. And while that's crucial - I worked long and hard for every penny - it's the people who do the work that I bow down to.

I'M ABOUT TO BE BOOSTED YALL #projecttaillights

:happydance:

Thank you! Your thread has been a daily stop for me. Absolutely in love with your setup. Keep the videos coming! Too bad we live so far away. Team FI! :bowrofl:

Another FI Nismo about to join the over 600whp club...you are going to absolutely love it. You need to be out west because by the time your Z is completed the weather here will be perfect for boosting! :driving:

your car is going to be so bad *** =) dont forget to lemme know when u go to ma

Kat,

We appreciate all the kind words and we are glad to be a part of this build! Welcome to the team!

BTW... the UPS truck just pulled up! :tup:

- Kevin

Ill just go stand outside the shop and wait now!


Cant wait to get this car together and back on the road, smiles for miles.


-Daelen

This thing is going to be awesome! Super jealous of your set up. If you wouldn't mind pm me when its done and you are going to pick it up, I live down the street from MA and have seen your car in the shop a few times and would love to see it finished!

I'm going to have to take a road trip to check you guys out. You guys are about 5 hrs away from me.

Don't tempt me!! I'll see y'all at Zdayz 2016!! :hello:

Will do. Remind me later just in case it slips my mind with all the excitement. Don’t be jealous, just find a great high-yield savings account lol :D How does she look in the shop??

Come on over! Katie’s Cars + Coffee is worth the trip as well. We may not have Tail of the Dragon but we do have Skyline Drive... :tup:

Sub'd for another FI build. Looking forward to seeing the finished product. Best of luck with it all.

not much to report but the usual, engine work is in final stages, kit is going on soon, then a break in and tune. hopefully i'll be behind the wheel before i know it :)

let me know if and when you go.

I try to go down a few times a year to see family and possibly hit a MAZOC meet while in town.

As a female in a Boasted Z, your allowed to post a selfy when the car comes home. :hello::D

YzGyz

Boasted z? I think you mean a breasted z. :tup:

Well, how is it going?

Looks like it's gonna be a solid Christmas present coming ur way.....:xmastup::santasleigh:
