New toys for my Z
Pair of 58mm throttle bodies
GT600R Ballbearing Turbos and 5 bolt downpipes
The plenum was dropped off today to get powder coated and will be picked up Friday. Hopefully the work will begin on Saturday.

I did port out the opening of the plenum but I couldn't port and polish really deep into it due to the length of my carbide bit.
My buddy suggests extrude honing the plenum. I'm going to have to look into that. Any comments on extrude hone?

NICE! Tis the season aparently, I just orderd some specialty Z down pipes, test pipes, nismo oil cooler, mishimoto radiator, RPS segemented flywheel, and bernie talked me into some 8 piece subframe bushings he had. and also finally got a TT fuel pump for 120 shipped.

Extrude honing is another one of those things that can't hurt, but has never really been shown to help much. Stillen sells extrude honed plenums, but the people who have them have never commented on (or had evidence to suggest) a real performance increase... however, a smoothed out intake tract can never hurt.

No worries. It's always great to get new toys for our Zs.

It would be nice to see some reference in gains. I imagine the gains would be minimal at best by itself or at least congruent with other modifications. More mods, more gains? Does that sound right?
