The UpRev MAFs won't function with Ecutek, to my knowledge.

Good luck with everything man!

Not a true statement. There are a lot of guys, myself included, boosted running UpRev. I haven’t updated my tune but from what I hear the updated simplified timing for UpRev is pretty legit. There’s still a lot of benefit from going to Ecutek but not as much as it used to be if you already have UpRev.

The mafs get maxed out by a supercharger when making X whp sooner than a turbo setup since the SC needs to blow more air to make equal HP of a turbo.

So the big single turbo is going to allow you to go to 500whp on stock mafs where the SC unit will max them out before that.

Ever considered providing taller stand offs on the MAF with your kit. That’ll allow you to cheat and get a little more power out of the stock MAFs.

Yes, my pipes have the tall maf flanges in them.

Can anyone explain the crash bar? It has all these wires and connections on it—is it’s purpose to not only absorb impact but somehow house the sensors for airbags hence the plug ins? I saw somebody on this thread had someone cut into their oem to fit the intercooler and add rigidity, others go FI crashbar. I thought the guy i was working with on a 370z last week had older? Different brackets and still used his oem. I’m trying to keep safety features best i can.

I, too, would appreciate some input on this. Where/how to make the cuts and re-weld, etc.

How are you doing on kits and parts? Parts have been trickling in to Seb. Can't wait for everything to be ready and get it all installed and tuned.

Sebs should have the entire supercharger kit at this point. PM me if he is missing something.

TopgunZ · 05-04-2018, 12:31 PM

Maybe the G has some extra safety features like forward crash detection or something. I have never heard of wired sensors in the crash bar on a Z.

jwick · 05-04-2018, 09:53 PM

I thought the sensor in the crash bar was the temperature sensor.

G3RSTY7 · 05-06-2018, 10:39 AM

Temp it must be. Gonna deal with crashbar later when i get new bumper on, work is picking up and my RFS supposed to arrive wednesday so no time to mess with crashbar now. Hopefully i’m boosted and doing datalogs in a week!

Just out of curiosity...has anyone got any 1/4-mile times on pump gas? I'm guessing 11.25 to 11.50, maybe 120-125mph?

A lot depends on your 60' time ... biggest help here are the tires.
Just guessing - High 11's and 120 ish
