No but all the SC kits I've seen for this platform use self contained oil.

Jayhovah, were you able to retain the stock crash bar after Gamma sent you the spacers? Also were there anything else OEM you weren't able to keep like that washer tank?

I haven't had any time to work on the car since I returned.

To Do list:
Refit Crash Bar
Swap GTR spark plugs
Go through EVAP hoses/solenoid (have thrown EVAP code twice)
Check all intake manifold/vac connections (wobbly idle)

That's just the 'kit completion' list... The OTHER list goes on and on...
Boost Gauge
Stainless clutch line
RJM Pedal (thinking about it, tony!)
homelink mirror / radar mount
Brainiac
Sub box
etc
etc
ETC

Wobbly idle - Are you still running the post-CAT O2 sensors? Do you have CATs?

Homelink mirror tap - I had to rebuy the tap itself as I broke one of the prongs trying to force it in there. It's a really tight fit. I recommend using a thumb tack as an aid to open up enough space to slide the tap in.

I am running test pipes, but have all the o2 sensors connected. Think this might be affecting the idle?

I think the idle is one of two things:
1) Related to the EVAP leak codes
2) Barb installed on back of intake manifold (I didn't do the worlds greatest job drilling/tapping for this).

I don't quite understand what you are talking about for the homelink mirror tap? Do you mean to tap power for the radar detector? I run a separate circuit for the radar power... I followed this mod:
http://www.the370z.com/diy-section-d...te-button.html

I pulled all that wiring out of the totaled car, just need to reinstall into the new one.

My idle always hunted until I pulled the post-CAT O2 sensors completely out of the car. Even though I had the code turned off the ECU must still use them for something. Unplugged them, replaced the sensor with O2 bung plugs and the idle cleared right up.

Never mind. I have this

Thanks. Also this is insignificant but do you hear the blow off value when you let off the throttle?

Great tip and super easy to test! I will check this first =)
Now if only I had time to do anything on the car!

That Brainiac system looks dope as hell!! I just voted.

squid267 01-22-2016 02:12 PM

Sorry for all the questions. But you've sparked my interest to do DIY install again. My story is similar to yours. Got a Eclipse GSX in college, swapped engine and it never ran right again, too strapped for cash to do fix things right, sold it and never looked back.

As for my question, what turbo does it use. Gamma website speaks of 16G, 18G and 20G.

My Brainiac erection has far exceeded 4 hours! I was already gathering parts for a tablet install.. now the Nexus 9 I bought will be going on ebay and the wait for Brainiac begins.

Ask all the questions you want. I wouldn't have gotten anywhere without the support of this forum -- which is why I finally upgraded to premium membership. There are only a couple of us on here with this kit so far (and AFAIK I am the only one that is up and running at the moment), so every question you ask will help someone else's search results in the future.

The gamma website is in dire need of an update. It looks to be a paste of an old GTM parts list from when the V3 kit was supposed to use MHI turbos in it's least expensive form. The MHI turbos have been ditched - my kit came with Garrett GT2860RS turbos (IIRC).

My AFR used to hunt too. Pulling the O2 cleared that up too:tup:

I hear mine all the time too. The noise I hear the most is turbine spool and the compressor surge as it unloads. Both beautiful!

Great! You are on Ecutek too, right?
