I'd consider looking at the RJM Performance heavy duty clutch master cylinder as well. It should be ready by the end of this month, so there should be some feedback by the time you're looking to upgrade.

I had not heard about this yet! The RJM pedal is fantastic so I will definitely be looking into this too. Thanks!!

Tires have arrived. This is some serious rubber!

It's starting to look like Christmas in my garage!

Sorry about the quality of the picture but my hands were shaking from the excitement, yeah, thats it.........

TBatt · 05-27-2016, 10:52 AM

A2A kit on order as well a Vortech 9psi pulley set. So far everything is falling in to place for the June 10th start date.

Are u gonna upgrade ur fuel system too for E85? Or are u gonna stick with the Stillen Pump and Injectors that come with the kit?

TBatt · 05-29-2016, 04:15 PM

Sticking with the stock Stillen pump and injectors for now. We have 93 octane gas here to work with. I am hoping for around 450whp. We will see......

Looking forward to ur build man....Pls post as much vids and pics as u can.

Now that MAY-hem (what I call the month of May) is over and my life is back to what I call "normal"......it is time to get to work on the SC build.

Today was software day. I downloaded the AEM software to setup my failsafe boost/AFR gauge and also installed UpRev on my laptop for the canned Stillen tune. Hooked up UpRev to my Z and it recognized the ECU and offered up three different tunes for it. So, with that done I know that I can proceed with the install and still have a driveable car when I'm done turning wrenches. The final tune will be with EcuTek done by Z1 Motorsports it two weeks after the install. I'm leaving a big cushion in the schedule in case I have any issues. I'm still waiting on some parts to come in so I'm not taking any chances with scheduling a diff install and tune way in advance. Better safe than sorry.

The plan is still to start on June 10th with the gauges and oil cooler first and then on Saturday the 11th start with the fuel system upgrades. Fortunately and yet un-fortunately I landed another recording job Friday night and Saturday afternoon. While this will cause an interruption with the install, it will give me more funds to work with so I won't have to sell one of my kidneys after all for boost!

Here are some pics of the toys.

Im not so sure you will be able to drive the car with the Stillen can tune and the A2A kit. The mafs will be seeing pushed air instead of pulled. It might work but i am not sure. I just wanted to point this out so you can have a back up plan if needed. Definitely stay out of boost and if anything just use this to idle the car to check for leaks of any kind. If its driveable then limp it to the tuner but I wouldnt go drive around for fun.

Yes! The car will be babied until tuned (which will be very difficult). I do have the advantage of having the AEM failsafe gauge to tell me boost as well as AFR in real time. It also has a data logging function that I can monitor. Neat gauge although rather expensive. As long as I stay out of boost the MAF sensor won't see any difference than it would NA. I should be able to still run 70 mph cruise with no boost. Correct me if I am wrong, but from what I have read, I should not see any boost build until around 3K rpm.

I had all my parts for my install and my car was still Dien and out fir almost 2 months. Some of the parts dud not quirk correctly and had to be un-installed, reinstall, un-install and sent back then read installed when I got it back. It was crazy but it's all gravy now.

Recording gig? Me curious

I have a part time audio/video business that I own and operate. It pays for the toys and then some. Lately it has grown to almost a full time job but it is very seasonal which keeps me from doing it full time. The busiest months are October, December, March, April and May. We have scheduled about 80 music events per year. We specialize in live music performances. I do some studio recordings but not much. I did however, get a call yesterday to record a oboe and piano duet in a concert hall this Tuesday. I mostly do classical music and have some very high end microphones (Schoeps, Earthworks, Neumann, ect.). It is great to have a hobby that makes money and is fun to do!!

TopgunZ · 06-06-2016, 10:27 AM

You could run the car at 7500rpms and not see boost. Its all a matter of how hard you are into the peddle.

TBatt · 06-06-2016, 11:01 AM

Are you still planning on getting me the rest of my parts before Friday?

TopgunZ · 06-06-2016, 11:27 AM

Yes, I have a tracking number for you and it should all be there by Wednesday/Thursday.
