I see your six pistons and raise you two...

Many of you might have seen a few of my pics around and I was holding out until most of the custom parts were done being fabricated.

I guess the title is self explanatory. Take a 1991 Infiniti Q45 V8, tear it apart, rebuild it with all new parts, add custom manifolds, fabricate mounts, add a 5 speed tranny and two Schwitzer turbos to make a reliable 800+whp daily driven G35 coupe.


The bottom line:


Valve Covers Polished:


OEM VH rod vs Pauter:


Pistons meet rods:


Calico CT-1 Coated Race bearings


Custom Intake and Exhaust Flanges:


Twin JGS Precision 56mm BOV's:


More updates to come...

 

Very nice, $$ on this engine swap?

this is gonna be sick. good luck with the build.

 

THanks! No... the project is under way. I'll post actual progress as soon as I finish uploading today's pics.

 

Thanks 4 the support!

 

Update:
*Awaiting custom rings from Total seal.
*Block is going to machine shop tomorrow and should be done by Thursday.
*Getting transmission adapter this week from local shop.

 

wow i wonder what the outcome will be like...hmm

 

dear god

 

Very nice man. What's the fitment goign to be like? Lots of mods to the mounts? New hood needed for clearance, etc?

 

I took some quick measurements of a motorless Z and the mounts *should* fit right in. I saw Kel's thread and he did some trimming to his strut towers but again, from my measurements I'm lead to think this is not a necessary step.

Hood clearance is not a problem at all. I'm not using the OEM "spyder" plenum.

 

Very very nice . Best of luck and can't wait to see the end results

 

yea you and kel have been going at this for a while..good luck

 

I hope this owns the TS one. I don't know why but I still have a burning rage for them..
