Build Thread - Port & Direct Injection | Track Car

[5thZ]

Hi everyone! It's been a hot minute since I've posted here, but I will be sharing my project build with pics, videos, etc. from over the last 6 months.

Here is a teaser video from SOHO Motorsports, to get things going!

Much more in-depth photos and discussions will be had in the later posts in this thread, so if it is okay with the mods, I would like to reserve a few post immediately after this to help showcase the build process.

Teaser!

F'n sweet! Looking forward to the details.

Your valves are going to stay squeaky clean with that port injection too .

May I ask at what HP level the stock direct injection ran out of fuel on 93 and also on corn?

Also, what width and offset are those wheels? they look perfect.

If I'm understanding Nik correctly it's around 548whp and 479ft lbs on 93 and 727whp on 604ft lbs tq on E60.

This is an awesome build, thanks for sharing! You've got a spot marked for it in this thread, so no worries if you'd prefer to answer there, but I'm curious - in the Soho video at 2:44 you've got the AWE Track exhaust, then at 3:00 it looks like a Soho exhaust. Are you running the AWE in all the rollers in that video?

I'm actually not sure what they did. I noticed that as well. My exhaust is the AWE Track exhaust which I will go over the pros and cons of in that exhaust area and why I needed to get out the grinder I believe they had another Z in the same color as mine in the shop, but the likelihood that it also has the Z1 duckbill rear lip is pretty small. I wonder if they installed the wrong exhaust on it to test it out and/or use my car as a blueprint for future exhaust builds.
