Hello all - figured I would post my build page over here because a lot of the cars on this site have been my motivation to do what I've done. My car was already turbocharged on a M50B25 non vanos with a T3 Holset H1E - I decided it was time to go bigger and these pictures should document that fairly well.

ZF 310Z transmission
4 puck ClutchNet clutch and pressure plate
M50B25 2.9L non vanos
PT76GTS turbocharger
28x20x4" intercooler
4" exhaust
MegaSquirt EMS to be replaced with AEM or Autronic
Direct port nitrous injection
Direct port methanol injection
This is the car before:
head cleaned up:
new turbo:
This was to be the engine that would go in the car:
That engine was a factory refreshed M50B25 non vanos, 2.5L with stock pistons and rods. I ceramic coated the pistons and all, but once I start thinking through it heavily I decided that this engine would not support the power I wanted.
Getting the old one out:
Messy!
Machining torque plate:
One thing I must say about my build - I am super clean about everything. Everything is either new or powder coated. Every bolt in the engine bay is brand new, and most of its powder coated.
Rad support:
Tank:
Polished hardware:
