Comp turbo failure less than a mile

knuckles899 · 08-31-2017, 04:02 PM

The messed up thing is she wanted a wake boarding boat really bad......so we got one awhile back....all the bells and whistles....not a cheap thing to buy. It doesn't bother her at all with the cost to own one of those....the car on the other hand seems too

I dont plan on keeping the boat either now.....if the car doesn't make sense neither does the boat right? Not financially smart to have either.

Live and learn.

Makes more sense to keep the boat and the car and get rid of the wife.

You're

The car and boat will pull in more females than the wife will ��

Its been a little bit since I posted any updates. After the slight hurdle with my wife not agreeing with my hobby I figured out how to keep my Z and keep her happy. I ended up getting her a BMW X5 and now it seems like she forgot I even have my Z. So lesson learned buy her something she wants before any big Z purchases lol.

Back to the Z, I ended up taking everything off/apart to clean flush all the aluminum out of the engine and IC, piping, BOV ect ect with repeated oil changes. Put it all back together with the new Comp Turbo and got it tuned locally.

Not bad, 438hp 364tq to the wheels on a mustang dyno 91oct around 10psi. I would of liked to see more but with a tired motor that's been fed aluminum I can be happy with those numbers for now. Tuner said main thing holding the car back was 91oct Cali gas

.

Car is a blast to drive besides traction loss even at speed. Just ordered some 18inch RPF1 9.5 F 10.5R .....not sure on tires yet but probably 275F and 295R size wise. Next after this is to probably start secretly getting my motor built and a return fuel system for either e85 or just run streetblaze 104 from a local station or even just buying the 5gal VP or Sonoco stuff..this will be awhile before the motor build happens unless this engine let's loose hopefully not destroying everything in it's path.

Happy wife........happy life.

It's better to ask for forgiveness, then to ask for permission.

Go with 275/305 on the tires. You don’t want to mess with the stagger.

Why did he stop the pull at ~6800 RPM?

He said something along the lines that his readout on the dyno stops there.....but it's tuned to redline. I thought that was a little weird and I'm not even sure what my rev limit is right now. Some of the members on My350z said the torque numbers don't look right for having 438hp and only 368tq. A suspicion is that I may have a VTC solenoid issue and I should try to see if I'm getting a full duty cycle out of them....I'm not sure how to even do that but will research that.

I messed up and bought the staggered 9.5 / 10.5 RPF1 combo from Oakos Auto...it will probably be okay we'll see. I went back and fourth so many times, reading threads, searching forums I just pulled the trigger.

The stagger is fine but you want to keep it to stock stagger difference. The stock was 245/275, so go with 275/305.

Is the octane limiting u? Or lack of fuel pressure? I’ve heard of a lot of guys getting stuck around 475. Planning on going bp next year, and hoping to break 500 in 93 octane.

93 octane is not an issue up to 560-580whp.
