Haha you better eagerly await that ****. ITS GON' BE AWESOME!

And no way. I didn't notice. I have to swing by Brenner for a new headlight bulb tonight so I guess I will have to go creep on it. I cant wait to see the new Q coupe. I bet its hot.

As long as the make the rear sleek on the coupe it should be sweet.

MOAR VIDS!! NAO BITCH!! :tup:

Haha I have one but its one before last nights tune. Has a few revs at the end. Half the video is me joking about no power steering.

I want to have some driving videos tomorrow or Thursday. Depends how much progress john makes. He was out somewhere today and couldn't tune. ):

damn man, we gotta meet up one of these days!

Haha definitely bro! Let me know if you ever take a field trip out this way. We can get a whole group of folks together. Got a bunch of crazy fellas from Maryland who are always down to meet up and stuff.

if i get this job in Honduras, it will be a year from that, but I will have had the motor built and 800 pwnies to the wheels by then :0

good lord. Itd be like I wasn't even boosted if we raced. I really want to see some high HP builds. There were plenty for the 350. I think the highest widely known vq is on Squeeze's build.

I got a question for you though...what exhaust are you running? Are you running some custom single 3" or are you running a dual exhaust?

Edit: NVM Looked at the pics of your build again.

sadly I am still running the OEM NISMO exhaust, tho I am thinking about a full 3in single

Good info. Were thinking of making a dual 3" exhaust this winter when the car isn't dailyed.

that's cool man... GReddy makes one of the best single exhausts out there..
and while duals would look the best.. I think best gains would be out of a single

Single Turbo....

:p

damnit you aren't supposed to post my pics bro! :bowrofl::bowrofl::bowrofl::bowrofl:

Single single exhaust would look bad a$$.
Unfortunately I've seen no rear bumper which is built for single exhaust. You may want to fibre glass the other side of the bumper to make it flash with the diffuser.

The Amuse looks pretty good with a single. Ive only seen it once though. I wasn't crazy about mine at first but its really growing on me the more I see it.

Yeah this is the main problem you're going to run into. I don't know if I've ever seen a 370 with a single exhaust setup.

Z1 did a single exit exhaust on a 370, I'm not 100% but I believe it was on a nismo kit as well. Did not look right at all imo.

You'll have to have the center exhaust cutouts (both) removed, and replaced with a functional diffuser to block the gap and have a single cut in it. That is what I think will look best.

However, no one can deny how good a single sounds on our car... :yum:

Single exhaust sounds way too cool on our cars. I couldn't be happier.

Did you do the Amuse kit idea I told you about? :icon17:

One of a kind! :tup:

I might be. There is ALOT of back pressure with this setup. I either need to do a dual y pipe or a 4" oval exhaust. We have ideas to make both work well..just need to make decisions. Might to an upgraded t4 housing+4"oval+custom made manifolds. Its a lot of work...wont be happening until winter.

Then just go run around crazy in it now, and break in the motor side of it. Enjoy it, then when you bed her for Winter, you can work on the piping. :tup:


Looking forward to seeing it in person.

You have my word. All of the crazy running around will be had.

I really want to make to one of the meets so everyone can see it at once. Hearing it is the better part though. :driving:

what size turbo did you end up with again? sorry at work and can't dig through :p

Its a Borg Warner s258 that I had machined out to an s259 with an upgraded billet wheel. Good for 650hp. Its a little undersized but it will make power to redline and it spools instantly. I was at 3k RPMs and bumped the throttle to like 30% and saw 5lbs in the blink of an eye.

ahh ok.. not to bad man.. I went with a PT6266 a little larger.. spools a little slower... but I like that I can drive like it's stock if I want..


and I had some ideas for your rear exhaust if you ever wanna talk chop

I know everyone seems to be using them with great success. I just wanted something different. We built it to be a response machine. I know Boost performance was in here crapping on my build and saying that the PT makes full boost by like 3750rpms or something but were aiming to make full boost and torque by or before 3500. Its all preference. Not like I'm using a single gt28.Lol

And yes I'm always down. Were going to sketch and CAD some stuff next week probably.

im not crapping on your build at bro! I think what you guys did is great!
and BP.. meh, my kit came first so naturally it's better :bowrofl:

i was actually looking at using a BW Turbo for the next step... I think it was MFI.. I would have to go back an look into my notes and convos about it.. but shooting for a strong, smooth curve..

and I sadly don't have CAD.. I would probably not be screwed out of all my ideas if I had CAD. lol but I do a pretty mean PShop lol

No I know you aren't dude! Thanks.
Yeah I mean I respect BP's kit but I don't like how he came in talking...my kit this my kit that, I do this for my customers and not that. Like is this a for sale ad sir? And regardless Im pretty sure he has a bit more time into this sort of work than 2 20 year old kid so whatevs:bowrofl:

If I had the money this build would've been a mid mount EFR 6258 Twin turbo. Luckily AAM is building a kit with those turbos so I will still get to basically see our theories on those turbos come to light.lol But yeah it would've taken like 8k to fully develop everything...This build after selling my boltons cost $2500 basically.

Patrick(boosted_MX5) uses solidworks for all of his designs. Extremely useful for a couple of homebrew builders.

thats boss, I wish I had more people in my area like you guys.. would be sick to brain storm and come up with more awesomeness...

if it goes well, expect big numbers from me tho :tup:

I know dude. The modded car game is huge over here. We do a meet every weekend with 100+ cars. GTRs, lambos, vipers, eclipse's, 370z, big muscle cars. Hell even had a GT40 show up haha. However the Z is the least common so finding other modders like us is kinda hard to come by still. Most folks would just rather pay a shop to do it.


Expect? I demand sir. DEMAND! big numbers.

well if this job in Honduras goes well, I should be able to afford my lofta 1200 dyno queen status lOL

It's been done and it sounds amazing!

:iagree:

Hahah its like the single exhaust fanclub in here right now.

:tup:

I just need a larger exhaust now.. I am willing to bet it frees up 10 pwnies

The car sounds like the gates of hell just opened. Legit its insane. I don't think I've gone past 50% throttle and 4psi (I get to drive this thing around and datalog while Cody's stuck at work) and it's already quick, and that's on pegged full rich fuel maps when in boost. Once the fuel maps get sorted and we start messing with vvt and vvel it will be an absolute blast.
