With the exterior and interior complete Ming's final task was the engine bay. He didn't want to go crazy with horsepower numbers since he was looking to drive the Silvia around town. After researching some rare parts and figuring out how much power he wanted to pump out on the SR20DET, Ming once again called on his connection to hook him up with exactly what he wanted. Sure enough, after a few e-mails and phone calls, a crate of hard goods was delivered to Ming's house. A large container of parts, from ARC to Nismo, was delivered and within two weeks Ming had the engine set up and ready to run. Baseline horsepower was now bumped to 350 hp thanks to the upgraded GReddy turbo that helped move plenty of air into the HKS front-mount intercooler. To help clear the exhaust from the motor, a GReddy downpipe and Espelir exhaust system was installed. With the help of the Mine's ECU and the Blitz boost controller, the car can now achieve Ming's planned goal safely. With the excess amount of torque now being thrown at the transmission, a Nismo clutch was needed to help transfer power to the rear wheels. As a final touch, Ming dressed up the engine with a few ARC hard goods.
Although just a few months from delivery, Ming has taken an already rare car and made it almost one of a kind. Ming isn't done just yet, he's still missing a few parts that didn't come in the last shipment. As for now he's satisfied with the outcome, but surely he's already sourcing out more rare parts-like custom Project Mu calipers for his big brake kit. Ming offers thanks to those who helped him build this one of a kind Silvia in just a few months.
