Wait....................did you say the stereo runs on NOS? 
We need a little more explaining about what's in some of these pics, when you have time of course........
Can't wait to hear (and see) it run!

Been two months since the last update? Did the the thread get moved or something? I been dying to see new pictures and find out what the special secret goodies are.
p.s. i actually joined the forum instead of just watching just to ask this question!

At least I made you join! 
I will be putting up more images as they become available. I had to take out the radiator because it was leaking internally once it gets back in next week I will get some more shots for you guys. But if you have questions feel free to ask, I will do my best to answer them all for you. Car will go on the dyno in about 2 weeks (hopefully with vid)

I hope real soon 
. I need more more. I also want to see/hear that thing run. Who's tuning it for you? I know a couple awesome Honda tuners.
This is from an S2000 with a Rotrex supercharger. Check out how they smoothed out the vtec

Working on the video now.........
The turbo is so efficient and the exhaust is so short, boost control was problematic. But by adding an additional wastegate to the system it should work. We were hitting 18.4 psi at 7100 RPM at 60% throttle. So the limits of the stock block were increasingly starting to rise. So we stopped the tuning at 60% throttle. However its no short of FREAKING SCARY 406BHP 300TQ on 91 pump gas!
YipEEEEEEEEE!
Shaun and Daniel think that we should easily see 460-500Hp with the additional wastegate.

I'm glad you explained that, to me "Z Cars" (pronounced "Zed Cars") was an old (very old) BBC TV drama series about police and their patrol ("Z") cars. I'm not sure they used Minis though.
