My beastly build @ Project X

Here are some more recent engine tear down shots. Since I took these, the engine has been at the machine shop. Should be nearly done with the machine work now.

HKS EVC 6 and Carbonetic LSD (didn't look like much when I took them out of the box so I just took pix of the boxes lol).

We are also shaving my engine bay. Currently happening as we speak. Here are a bunch of photos of that in process.

And more of that...

And lastly (for now), Arias custom pistons which took FOREVER to get.

Sorry to burst your bubble but I've seen one installed a couple weeks ago on a black nismo. Besides, it's an exterior part that soon thousands will have, is it that big of a deal?

We simply did not we feel comfortable going any more than that at this point, and frankly, I'm not ready for it anyways.

I'm pushing 605 rwhp on the dyno on my Z brotha grats my turbo is efficient up to 890 hp I'm currently running 7 lbs of boost safely. The turbo kit I'm using is sts turbo rear mounted ball bearing turbo.
