With that being said, CJM S1.SE return fuel system is probably the best on the market. It comes with billet fuel rails and you can order a fuel pressure gauge with the kit. And what kind of power are you looking for, 1700cc injectors may be overkill. 1300cc may be a better choice. |

P.S. Whjaxn17 - I love how you just can't resist trolling and throwing in your useless 2cent comments. I already admitted I was new, I already admitted I was not knowledgable on ECU/Fuel Injected setups, I already admitted I screwed up buy jumping the gun, and I learned a lot from this experience. Unfortunately all I learned from you is that you don't have valuable input and I should ignore anything you say. Start acting mature and prove me wrong.[/QUOTE]

I recommend you listen to Rusty and tell them to cram that AAM kit in some other chump's vehicle :gtfo2: Quote:
Probably not as polite of a response as the PM I just sent you :tiphat: |

Second, your build list here is definitely showing an improved thought process. You're listing the right kind of components and you're doing it before building anything. Third, if you have questions about injector size, talking with a knowledgeable tuner with a lot of build experience, such as Sebastian at Specialty Z, would be a very good idea. Lastly, try to figure out your power goals in advance. That'll make your build decisions a lot more obvious. 500 whp? You won't need E85; you don't need a built block; you can run smaller injectors; you can keep relatively small turbos. 750 whp? Whole 'nother game. Now you're talking built block for longevity, with only a handful of shops providing proven motors at that power level for any kind of duration, likely E85, upgraded turbos, etc. |
Built block in the neighborhood of 15 to 20 grand to do it right.

Jeff, old boy. I got a question. What ever gave you the idea of running corn on a stock Z?

OP, you've gotten a bunch of great advice from people that have 'been there, done that, got the t-shirt' When they say the AAM kit is junk, believe them. JLarson is running a BP single turbo kit he installed himself (well, with help from lots of others), Madwi is running the same kit and IIRC he did the install himself (possibly with help from others). I'm not sure I'd believe your buddy that claims 1050 HP out of his Z, unless you happen to be friends with Mike that's selling his Z (white dragon), but that's just my :twocents: I would question the motives of people that are pushing a questionable kit, considering the number of people that have had issues with AAM and not just on this platform. There are too many threads with pictures of poorly cast manifolds (with blocked runners) that are in the hands of customers and AAM not standing behind their product. Information is good, and right now, the go-to folks for forced induction and related hardware are Fast Intentions and BP for kits and phunk at CJM for fueling. Good luck. |
Let me know if you are interested in what I have to say, otherwise I will just keep my mouth shut. If you have questions, ask me and I will answer.

From the tags, it appears that sugar, salt, lime and acetone can be added to fuel for big power gains. Wow, that's so cool!!! Now I know what my weekend project is going to be.
Wish me luck gang. :rofl2: |

That said, the repost wasn't exactly for you, but next time you take the time to ask a question, maybe heed the advice you get. BUT, moving past all that... You need at least 550cc injectors and a tune. That's the entirety of necessary parts. An Aeromotive 340lph isn't a bad idea, but not needed. I believe the SZ flexfuel kit is ~$600. I'd personally recommend it as you have to run your car down to almost empty to switch fuels otherwise. If you choose to go that route, ECUtek is your only software option as Uprev does not have flexfuel capabilities. |

So I think I will take the good advice here and plan on changing the build plan to this: Walbro 520 / E85 SKU 900.1160 Pump Strainer 900.1225: Center Strainer Pigtail 900.1020: Include Billet Fuel Pump Hat, 370z SKU 100.0100 Regulator Delete Adapter 320.4655: S1.SE Fuel System, 370z Vehicle, Pump Type, Filter Media 800.4405: 370Z, 10mm, Microglass Mini Pressure Gauge 400.3000: Include Fire Sleeve 900.5106: 6 Feet Injector Dynamics ID1300x2 Application CJM S1.SE Plus the Zspeed Flex Fuel kit. This should position me well for the TT upgrade later on unless I am missing something in this. Oh and yes, I appreciate the advice on the FI vs. AAM and will listen to the solid advice given here and get the FI kit, pain is not worth the marginally higher cost to get a better kit. Someone might have once told me, you get what pay for...If the FI is better, and was my original choice before these guys were pushing the AAM kit on me. It's really great to be able to get sound advice from people who have been there and done this and are not trying sell me something for their benefit and potentially not mine. Thanks again to everyone for helping and dealing with my retarded a$$! This has been great information that I just had to take the time to thoroughly understand and not leap before I look. |

Set a HP goal and stick to it. Anything above 16 psi of boost will get expensive quick. If you are going to run E85, ID 1300cc injectors will work just fine. Built motors start at 15k and go up. The more HP you want the more additional mods you will need. If you have never had a turbo car, start slow and work your way up with time and experience. You don't want to jump into a high hp car and wreck it the first month. We have all seen that happen on the forum. It is ugly.

Jeff; Just don’t forget the most important part...the tuning aspect from Ecutek,UpRev or whatever else is capable.
As mentioned earlier by another member; you burn a richer mixture with the increased ethanol content, with wot pulls getting in the single digit AFR’s. Factor about 30% more fuel consumption over gasoline. The HP gains N/A aren’t huge, but the torque gains will be more a bit more. You got some great guy’s who’ve jumped on this thread to help, so I’d definitely be taking it all in :iagree: Also, there’s a difference in weather the e85 comes out of the ground or out of a barrel....you want consistency :tup: |
