What adapter/kit are you going to use with the Z33 trans? Also interested in seeing how tuning the vvti turns out if going for higher numbers.

Initially I will max out the stock turbo (aka no more than 15psi) and see what that gets me. Eventually I will upgrade the turbo and go for 400.
I am VERY keen on midrange power. My sr was put together with as much low end torque and mid range in mind, the response was incredible. It had a Gt28rs .63ar, PBM intercooler, PFC, and tomei pro cams (256 I+E). The came on HARD at 3800rpms, and 5000 was max power, around 6800 it would start to peak out.
The idea behind the JZ is to maintain this midrange power/low end torque without going V8. I don't like how V8s sound, but other than that it's a no brainer on a drift car. I can't go much further past 400whp because I can't afford it (tires go too fast haha).
I went VVTi because thats what my SR had (notch top) and that helps a lot.
I am using Maverick Motorsports kit
Thanks for the kind replies guys.
