# Project Max PSI progress report >>>>>

Posted by The Max (92 J30 Maxima (turbo project nearing completion)) on July 09, 2003 at 04:37:24: Things are really happening now it seems. I spoke to the machine shop some 400km away from here and the only reason for the delay was getting in the ARP rod bolts. Still doesn't make sense as to why it's taken them this long to at least machine everything else, like as in o-ringing the block and whatnot, but now that they've got the bolts, we're talking about 1 week before it's back in the hands of the builder in Sydney, which should then take another 2 weeks with any luck. So by the end of this month, I should have my motor back, FINALLY!! To make sure that is the case, I'll be dropping in on my local builder to ensure we've got the right ports for the turbo oil return, catch can drainback and temp sensor all on the sump. In that time, I'll be pushing for a purchase of the gasket kit so we can order in the copper head gaskets which will most likely need to be custom made. The sooner this dude gets the bits, the fewer delays I'll have to deal with. And the other good news/revelation... The Z32TT crankshaft is no stronger than the stock Maxima crankshaft. They're both forged and tough as nails. He suspects tough enough to handle even more than just 500hp. That's what I like to hear!! Replys: Yay!! Keep up the good fight! :) nm Lordrandall (92se5) 09:50:15 7/09/2003 (0)
