Yeah it was quick but VRT takes a lot of time to do this stuff. Michael told me the best he could do is 3-4 weeks for a build and TT kit. I could not go that long without my car.

Tony at UMS has a spare short block we are going to start building for me once I get some of this stuff paid off.

 

Actually the rumors of 500hp isnt true; I'm sure it could hit those higher #s. This'll be my daily driver and my goals were for a AWD 400-450whp car. The engine build was overkill to keeep it 'safe'. So not much was done to AT or AWD system. Nor did i sleeve it or do cams. I'll get you the parts list.....

 

Still a 400-450 awd car will be one hell of a ride!
My car is a smoke show off the line as where yours will hook up very well.

 

G-MOney....if you dont mind me asking you, How much is this running you? I am in the process of debating whether I am going to boost my X. If you dont want to post it to the public could you send me a PM with a ballpark fiogure.

 

Are you doing the JWT 530 or 700 kit?

Ed - I can tell you that VRT quotes ~$16k for a basic build and JWT 530 kit. I'm not sure what extra they would have to do for the X.

 

ok..thanks...Yeah, I am definitely not going to go this route. I dont have that much extra cash

 

After this is all done I'll definately have to take the Mony out of sig!

I would say that i was the guinea pig so whoever takes their X to VRT should get lil' better pricing as theyre know more what to do.

also, did custom coilovers...

 

Did you say custom coilovers for the X? How much for the coilovers, as I am sure there are a bunch of people that would be interested.

 

+1
Any upgrade like that for the X would get some buyers!

 

I agree....got any more info on these?

 

If VRT did them, you can contact Michael.

 

G-Mony, Do you know if VRT is going to be selling the coilovers for the X or is this just a custom job? I am sure that their are a number of us X owners that would invest in this.

 

Wow, looks and sounds sick! I would love to fab up a kit for my X. Maybe in a few years.

For tranny upgrades, are they custom? Or do you upgrade the valvebodies, clutch packs, etc like auto ISs?

 

Ill be able to tell you more once i get the car....which hopefully is soon!

Then ill be able to give u more info and review of the suspension and everything else.

 

FINALLY GOT MY CAR!! So here is:

Street legal 400hp AWD G35x

Here's the parts on the build:

JWT TT BB530 kit
Pauter Rods
Arias 81 Low Compression Pistons
Port/polished Heads
Split Second Air/Fuel Controller
440 Plus injectors
VRT plenum
VRT strut tower brace
VRT adjustable coilovers
VRT front/back suspension control arms
VRT larger oilpan/cooler

Probably more stuff I missed....

Thanks to Michael@VRT! For those interested in g35x coilovers should be available for purchase and probably online soon. Also, I think they're gonna put together a g35x TT kit with the custom piping for sale soon too.....

Oh yah, btw, she drives like a dream!! Picked up car and had a fun drive back to SF Bayarea. Seems quieter since the drone from my Stillen catback is gone. Absolutely no lag...all 400hp to the wheels immediately w/o any wheel spin or VDC coming on.

UPDATE: 4/15/07
Looks like rear coilovers werent adjustable so no point in having just front adjustable. Went back to stock.

VRT yet to get me dyno to show and confirm 400hp. When i get car out of shop ill hopefully have a dyno.
