Hello everyone!
I'm new here to this forum and have always had an interest in rear wheel drive Nissans/Infinities (510s, 300zx, Gs, Zs, 240s). Been thinking about eventually picking up a 350Z and am learning a lot from you guys. At this moment I own a 1992 Volvo 240 sedan. It's pushing about 17psi with a turbo set up retro-fitted from a 1990 740t, turbo ecu/ign comp, H20 injection, ported exhaust manifold, 60trim T3, 2.3 liter w/9.8:1 compression, RX-7 oil cooler, urethane bushings, adjustable panhard rod, sways, 3.5"downpipe/3.0" exhaust side exit Magna Flow exhaust, etc.... I'm assuming about 230rwhp and 280rwtq and ALL work done by myself. Definitely a fun sleeper.
I do have some turbo knowledge and lots of experience under the hood of many cars. I hope my experiences will become a valuable asset to many of you. Thanks!

His Volvo only put down about 170rwhp, but thats using a turbo block with low cr @ 10psi. I run an NA block with NA compression :-) I do have a ported head and stand alone planned in a few months and hopefull that'll put me at 300hp at the crank.
I'll post some pics hopefully by the weekend. I need to replace my front clip (got friendly with the center divider on the grape vine) before I display my cars true ugliness
