Newbe needs help fast!

Hi all I am the new guy

First off I need to know the best shop that builds the VG30DETT for a 92 300zx twin turbo (Z1motorsports,stillen,JWT,etc) there are to many to list that I have found that will make custom motors for my car,But all I need is some feedback.
If you have ever used any of these shops PLZ let me know if they are GOOD/BAD.

I need the best heads i can get and the best of everything.
Yes i am going to say this money is no facter in this,I have over 45,000 dollers in my savings account to spend on my car.

Thanks for the help
Sidney

I'd recommend staying away from Stillen. Much of their stuff is overpriced and the quality is not great. You cant go wrong with Z1 for performance parts. SPL Parts sells the best susponsion mods (www.splparts.com). Concept z sells some nice custom finish work (Air and radiator guides, etc.). Courtesy parts is probably your best source for OEM products. Rizzspeed's signature has a link to many different aftermarket Z shops.

Welcome.

Since you're in FL, i'll also say Z1Motorsports. Z1 is in Georgia, short drive for ya.
They can basically get anything and everything for your Z that you could possibly want.
They can also obtain OEM parts in case you need basic car stuff that doesn't involve performance, like hoses, bushings, mounts, weather stripping, etc. etc.

I wish I had 45G's to spend on my car.......

Check out my link page and make a list.
Or just have Z1 do it all.

Well all is good now,I have my list of parts and the companys that have then the cheapest but I need a little more help. Have any of you people ever used JWT products(Are they any good?). I was thanking about going with the sports 700's(are they a good turbo) I am trying to get the best turbo that can get me almost 500 whp on pump gas.
Any feedback would be great.

The 700's will get you to where you want to be. They most closely compare to the HKS GT2530's. The 700's are fairly new, so I haven't read many comparisons yet and haven't seen many dyno's on these head-to-head. The HKS are really pricey. JWT is a good name. They sell good products. You'll see many different vendors carrying their stuff. I'd go with them. Just some food for thought...you can push around 600 RWHP with built internals on race gas with either one of these turbos.

Agreed. Z1 can tune it for you and probably do the best job. I believe they were the 1st company to break 800HP in a Z. They call it the Peacemaker. Just so you know, there are acouple significant differences between the JWT and ASHSPEC ecu's. ASHSPEC actually has separate fuel and timing maps for 5th gear. Most companies just bump back the timing and bump up the fuel supply. Also, ASHSPEC does not eliminate the secondary mapping; which is much safer for your car. If your car begins pinging, the ASHSPEC unit puts you into safety boost; whereas JWT does not. Too much of that and there goes your engine. If you have $45g's to play with, just have Z1 put together a power package for you. I think stage 3 gets you up to where you want to be, plus they build-up the internals. It's probably less expensive that way. IMO, you get better bang for your buck. Don't forget to do your brake and suspension mods also. 500 HP won't do you much good if you can't keep it on the road. Let us know hoe it goes....

Oh, and not that this matters, but I'm putting an ASHSPEC in my Z.
