Thanks guys!


It sure is hard to beat $500 for a quality intercooler with 1300hp capabilities. Thanks Treadstone!

Not an easy task I assure you. There are tons of rust buckets.

I like the build. I've always wondered what a 300z would look like with a boosted LS in it.

Nice progress.

There are quite a few of them on this forum.

I've thought about picking one up for a road race project and swapping a 6.0 into it with some ported LS3 heads and a big cam. Theres actually a swap kit out there.

Thanks, I've been putting in a lot of time and beers.. All the little tedious details are starting to pop up. One day at a time.

Thanks, swap kit is JCI honestly thought if You can fab id just do it your self. The kit is pretty space restrictive. I was able to make everything fit it but only by completely re doing the front end of the car.

Hoping to find time this weekend to mount these damn turbos.. Having to fabricate literally everything is taking a lot longer than I planned.

Guess that's what you get when trying to do something no one else has done.. Worlds first street driven twin turbo LSZ!!

I wouldnt bet on that. I'm a member of all the S30 forums and all the large enthusiast forums like YB/tech etc. and haven't seen one. I've also scoured the internet for photos and info on them before I started the build and came up empty handed.

Im not saying that a street driven (rear exiting exhaust etc.) TT LSX S30 doesn't exist just that I have never seen or heard of one. If anyone has please let me know as I would love to see the setup.
