Does it idle any better now?

I've been without my car three weeks and I'm going crazy, I can't imaging waiting until next year.

I've been without my car almost 2 years now ... Long Story ... and I'm absolutely NUMB from it.

It was supposed to a SC'r impeller and power upgrade that would take only 2 weeks.
6 months later it was "Done" >>> "Quite Literally - DONE" >>> as in much smoke and oil and a blown motor.

Finally had to abandon the SC'r project after another year long wait with nothing getting done and go TT.

I did drive down to Maryland last week to check on progress though.
We are in the last phases before Dyno Day [hopefully that is]...

...

Oh crap man, that sucks. I hope it works out for you! Why is it taking so long? We are changing motors in my friend supercharged C5 Z06 for the 2nd time in 4 months this weekend. I can't imagine waiting that long.

Thanks for the sympathies !

Biggest reason for the delay is that the original shop doing the SC'r build bit off 'just a little more than they could chew' with the Z.

It was a 2 man operation and they did European cars and mostly bolt on upgrades...not custom fabrications...and with little to no experience with the 370.
After the motor blew [drove the car exactly 1 day] it [the motor] was sent to IPP in Texas <<< they did a great job.
It came back to N.J. last September - Just in time for the shop owner to take a 5 month hiatus.

So the car sat.

When he came back in March we realized that we weren't on the same page anymore - so I pulled the plug on the build and moved the car out of his shop and down to AAM in Maryland.
AAM has also been real good support wise and they are Nissan / Infiniti specialists.
But I have also upped the goals for power and performance as well.

The car is being converted to Flex Fuel with EcuTek tune.
AAM is developing a Twin Fuel Pump for the high HP thirsty Z's ...

That should be finished soon...and then it's Dyno Day.

Till then I be drivin' 55

How do you plan to plug the old slots?

TopgunZ · 09-03-2015, 09:41 PM

I put some bubble yum in them, then hit it with a heat gun.

Or...:-)

Bought hitachi style mafs, which is what we have, for $9 on ebay. Chopped them off at the pipe level.

No but we changed out the fuel system last year to the CJM 1.5 system to get rid fuel starvation so I think I will be okay.

PPE headers showed up today and we moved the car to the shop that doing the piping. Hopefully they can start tomorrow.

They look grey in the pic for some reason but they are stainless steel with black ceramic coating.

It wasn't the maf placement. It still idles around 1200then shoots up to 2000for a second then drops down to 1200. it Will repeat this about5Times then idles back at1200 for aabout 20 seconds then will drop to 800 and sound like it's going to di. But will jump back to 1200 after5 seconds. Then will repeat the whole scenario. Checked for vac leaks but can't find any. Did the throttle body reset for thinking it could be the new manifold.

Is it just the tune? Any other thoughts?

Hey TopgunZ

Look even at this part:

The small tube leading from the plenum to the BOV.
If the hose is detached or broken, then it may lead to this behavior.

My thought...

****...I think its the manifold then.
