My Cars Build Thread: Project Roxy
Are you wanting to use 4 ITBs one for each intake port or 2 ITBs for each rotor? Either way, look into this guys. They make it look easy.

Love the build and the ITB idea. Have been pondering the possibilities of it myself for when I get the chance to begin my build. And, for the record, mine is named Roxxy. Just had to add the extra x, shes been around a bit.

Jose,
Awesome car and great pics.
I don't see and explanation, and I'm wondering what your goal is with those 2 turbo's? Is it quick spool up, or high end power? Are they going to be sequential?
Asking because mine is going single with the idea of short spool up time, as close to the original twins as possible, and good midrange with approx 400hp.
Thanks

the idea behind this setup for me is quick spool up while still making decent power without having to max out a small turbo
power + reliability (relatively speaking)
and also
my name is VJ ...i think u guys have me confused with a Jose?? lolol

i honestly had no plans of doing this build anytime this year...i just went poor man's non-sequential a month ago
then i found these turbos on ebay for an unspeakably low price
this guy was upgrading these turbos from his 350z twin turbo kit
thanks for the great reviews guys!!!

E-01 is hands down the best boost controller you can buy
i've had a couple already (profecs, blitz, apex'i, hks) this one is definitely the best
the EDFC is awesomeeeee
when you're tracking the car is great because you can change the damper settings on the fly rather than having to go a lap come in and change the settings, then do another lap and come in and change the settings....its a great upgrade to get with compatible Tein coilovers

Did you get the car repainted at some point, or is it just a really good wax and polish job? The paint looks so good in that last set of exterior picture!
P.S. Nice job on the rim/color selection. I've looked at a lot of rims, but something about SSM that competes with the silver in a lot of rims and don't seem to matchup well.

and now i clay bar the car twice a year, and wax once a month to keep the paint like that
gona get it properly repainted in the same SSM soon though...theres a bunch of little imperfections in the paint...you can only do so much to save 16 year old paint lol
