03 g35 coupe...........02 c32 Sold
I know with turbo the skies the limit. I've seen 1000hp evos from a 2.0L four cyclinder and 800hp integras from a 1.8L four cylinder.

Being 3.2L and six cylinders, the c32 should no problem at least hitting 500whp. Probably more with larger injectors.

Do you guys think the sleeves should hold up past 500whp?

I look fwd to your results, and applaud your efforts

I just add a healthy dose of skepticism, only because were talking about a true supercar, the C6 Z06 is capable of 10.9x @ 125-127 mph bone STOCK in the right capable hands

i know what the C6 ZO6 is capable of in "CAPABLE HANDS"

i am also skeptical until the results are proven, i just don't want to be counted out until the project is finished...

thanks for the props...

should be just another week or two, i am waiting on a couple of custom pulleys and the wires...other than that, i just have to source a couple of things locally to complete the project...if everything goes according to plan, we should have a running car in a couple of weeks...

Any idea yet on how long the installation might take once you have a finalised kit?

too me thats more impressive than throwing the pipes/turbo together, (not to say that its easy by any means on a car that it wasnt intended for)

like this :
i am going to leave the turbos as is for right now, they are right where they need to be from a compressor map/efficiency standpoint and each turbo is rated at 380HP...

we are going with external wastegates now instead of the internal wastegates...
