Rebuilding my turbo 3rd gen with big goals.
For those who are not familiar with my car heres a little back round. This was my first car 10 years ago has been boosted last 7 but driven rarely last few years. 2 years ago I was really getting it dialed and and it took a serious beating for a solid year. Unfortunately I pushed it to hard. I never did dyno Im guessing car was putting down mid 400s. So heres the results of the melted piston. Took me 45 min to tear down to this point.
This is where I cried seeing my Southbend stage 5 smoked. Clutch was rated 700+ ft/lbs. After talking with southbend Looks like I made to much power to soon. My fault for not fully breaking clutch in.

I then let the car sit for a year gathering parts slowly deciding where I wanted to go. I planed on another stock bottom end vg30e with my built heads. I stumbled onto local guy parting out a z31 which happened to be a shiro. Two truck loads home I tore down the motor I picked up for $600. Motor had z32 88mm weisco pistons, z32 TT rods with Arp Rod bolts. I tore it down to inspect his work on the rebuild. I saw quite a few issues so I went ahead and rebuilt the bottom end. Fresh bottom end and cleaned up my ported 85e heads with my schneider 280h cams, Schneider 110lb dual springs and Russ adjustable cam gears.
Got some help setting the timing.
Taking care of my fuel issues with. Aluminum rails and -6 an feed lines. Also 900cc seimens injectors
Im staying with the z31 plenum it worked very well with the top feeds and also made my pluming much easier to route. Except its now a gutted plenum.

Fast forward few months to now. My new headers are taking shape. Decided to just go full stainless with vband for the crossover pipe. I will be keeping the same turbo. Holset He351cw. I did get rid of the tial 38mm for tial 44mm. With everything vband should look clean and make it very easy to work on. 
Mocked up on old junk head. Also back and forth to the car to ensure no clearance issues.

make my set up look stock LOL
nice job man.
Nice jig you built for the collector
all about the angles.
one critique....
clean up the gaps by the flanges...you got about 1/8 or so gap and in one pic it looks like you're off center by a touch in another pic...unless that was just a mock up and you'll actually clean it up...then carry on.

The headers look great. My friend and I track our Boosted 3rd gen with the setup he built. The video below are us going at it on track.
