Thanks guys, I'll keep posting as the goodies come in ha. If I can find a uses SC kit this build will happen much sooner than anticipated. I'm not quite ready to post a WTB just yet.
When you do supercharge it if you need help let me know. It's pretty standard but there might be something I could help with. Also when you get it done if you're not too out of state you can convert my car

I definitely appreciate that, right now the most helpful thing would be to track down a used SC kit for me! Between the SC kit, injectors, MAF (GT), dyno tune, and tranny I'm looking at $7000 more to spend after already buying a new longblock :/
I'm from CT, I'd help do a swap if you're local or from RI or Mass because I work/live out there. Not sure if you're AWD or RWD, I'm on my phone. We'll see how this AWD swap thing goes...
Don't forget you will also need a fuel pump and return style fuel system / upgraded fuel system. The fuel system on the AWD is very narrow. The car will be a headache while tuning to deliver proper fuel without it.

I threw a 255 in it a while back when my stock one went bad. What else is different from the RWD sedan? I had no clue about that.
My tuner is saying with 600cc DW injectors a return system is not required to get the ~375 whp I'm looking for. I'm not trying to bend a rod at the 400 whp level. Unless there are enough guys who hit that number without issue on here? This is all based off of what my tuner recommended but if you guys have experience and say otherwise I'll go with that.

When supercharging my X, my tuner (who is regarded as a good tuner around my parts), did have issues tuning my car. Using his words here, he recommended that I upgrade my fuel system because he found that the fuel lines are not as wide as other G counterparts. I think my car must have been on the dyno 3 or 4 times while they nailed down the fuel. At that point I had injectors and a fuel pump also. Take that for what you will, but at the very least I think it might deserve some attention just for you to be sure. I just want you to be prepared since the X, as you know, is basically a rewarding pain in the ***.
If you had a 5AT and a standard pulley, with your setup you'd probably hit around 340. With a fuel system you'd probably get around 370. With a 6MT I'd say you go to 400 safely. I've been driving my car which makes on average 380 very comfortably for two years without one problem. Every car is different and while there have been exceptions at 400 over time generally that is due to bad tuning and/or someone driving their car like a Lambo. You're not going to bend a rod at 400 so I would make that your goal and just build up to get as close as you can. Of course if you are getting a new longblock, if it is built up, the sky is the limit!
Good or bad? I could go either way. Split expandable loom saved me lots of time but I could have done it better.
bad.
you seem like a good guy though. Takes advice and feedback well.
Yeah you saved a ton of time. Im just not sure it was much of an improvement.
I pulled my entire harness apart and it was a real pain...took several weekends to do.
start of the madness!
Still not done. I took another members advice/idea and i am going to pull all the bulk from the rear of the engine back into the area under the wipers. Clean it up even more.

Here are some pics of the fuel lines, do these look different RWD guys?
Is the 2.87 pulley going to be too much for a stock bottom end?
Are you saying 400 with the stock pulley and 6mt?
I'm looking into return systems regardless to see what they are about.
Cux350z,
I didn't realize you were the infamous epic main tuck owner. I doubt I'll ever get to that level of detail haha but your tuck is like no other.
