Built motor is finally going in!

For those of you that don't know back in Feb '05 I had a vortech installed on my G35. Three weeks after the vortech install I had to have more power so the car went back to the shop to swap the Vortech for a Greddy TT. While the car was on the dyno I bent a rod. Fast forward to today. It has been almost 4 months with out my car. Tomorrow my SGP built motor will rest in it's new home. Here's what I got done on the motor.

Block oil passages cleaned
Block redecked
Block Bored and Honed using a Torque Plate
Crank balanced
Crank journals polished
New Main and Rod bearings w/ceramic coating
Pauter Rods
ARP Rod Bolts
Wiseco Pistons .020 over(8.8:1)
Ceramic coating on Pistons
ARP Main Studs
ARP Head Studs
Heads oil passages cleaned
Heads redecked
Ported exhaust and intake runners
JWT Upgraded Cams
JWT HD Valve Springs
5 angle valve job
Valve Stem Heights set
Cold Clearance set
New Valve stem seals
New Nissan Head gaskets
New Nissan Oil Pump
New Nissan Cam seals

Along with my new motor I have samco hoses, pi-thon locks, koyo radiator, ATS twin carbon clutch, nismo thermostat, and an aquimist 1s WI system to be installed.

I would like to thank Kyle from SGP for the excellent customer service and building me a bad **** motor. Anyone that does not know chit about motors and is looking to build one, SGP is a great one stop shop. I must have emailed Kyle 100 questions along the way and he always responded in a timely manner. I am so happy with their work and service that after the motor is broken in I am going to ship the car to SGP so they can install and tune the HKS Vpro.

Here are some pictures. I will try to post some more as the install goes along. I won't have the car until sometime next week cause I am sending my rims to get the spokes powder coated in black. Since I sold my stocker the car will be on the lift until the rims comes back.

Thanks! Hobbies? Unfortunatley no other hobbies except this money pit I love so much. My life consist of my family (wife, 2.5year old daughter, and 17 day old daughter), work, and my car. I make it to the gym a couple of times a week, but that's it.

Congrats, great to see everything is coming along just fine. Practically a whole new car with a new build-up motor, Greddy TT and also a new TopSecret body kit and powder coated wheels. Your black G will look AWESOME, and have the power to back it up. By the way, Im also considering changing the unichip on the APS TT with the HKS V Pro, will make the TT kit run smoother and reliable IMO. How much will the HKS V Pro cost you installed and tuned? Im guessing around $4K or more tuned.

I can tell someone has been researching the HKS V Pro......$3500 for the main unit, A/F knock amp, and installation. Tunning will be another $500-$750. I will feel a lot safer with a full standalone. Anyway you can make more power with less boost vs. piggy backs.

How much boost are you going to be able to run on that thing? That is nuts, You have a super car. What is the car's name? Obviously IT is PART of the family. Cool motor, I can not wait to see the numbers and the track times... THEY ARE GOING TO BE BIG

The motor should be good for 650whp but I am only going to take it to 500whp. It should hit that with 12-14psi of boost. I will post a dyno as soon as it is done.

Hahaha....fortunately I have a few years before I have to start worrying about guys like you. Read my post again. She is 17 days old. Don't give me anymore gray hair that I am already starting to get.



Here's the 2.5 year old.

All I can say is... Drool! Absolutely amazing! I know you have been waiting a while for this to be completed. Time to play! Are you getting the TS wide body or the standard kit?
