Great news .... sit back and enjoy it ...... you've done the hard yards - now enjoy the car

That's the plan.

With all the money you spent on the front, why not throw some at the rear so you can hurt some v8 feelings in the 1/4 mile without worry?

Would love to see some video of it in action, as I'm sure we all would.

Glad she's putting a smile on your face again though man. :tup:

Lots of money has been spent on the rear. I just don't talk about it. Traction is key. She hooks and goes straight. If she does spin it still goes straight. Those are the mods
that keep you safe having fun.

:tiphat: you and I did the same thing for one rear component. I was already researching the thing you told me to do and then you pushed me over the edge. Not mentioning the change incase you want to keep it tight to your chest. Hell, I don't think I mentioned it on my build thread either.

They don't need to know about it. LOL

Sometimes you got to be a little bit different to do this crazy stuff.

Just in case you forgot what it did on the dyno.

I wasn't ready for the 135lbs of boost. lol

To piggy back off what you said about being unique with builds... I think it's important that people expand their searches outside of the VQVHR world to get a bigger picture. One thing that shocked me was that people started talking about fire hoops like it's new tech. There's a of great machine shops out there that would have taken on the challenge outside of Soho, Namely TKM. Not being a Debbie downer on Soho because they sell packaged solutions for people not wanting to invest in the learning. Which the learning aspect is another fun way to look at builds. People will achieve the same results as others if they follow a path. Obviously there's draw backs when you are blazing paths for people. Hell, that alone makes me understand why people gate keep information. There's not enough people on the platform sharing information about what works or what doesn't. A handful of people take the risk which equates to heavy financial burden.

Just rambling a bit here. I didn't really have much of a point to make overall.

Start a GoFundMe and raise 30k I will share everything I know. Which is a good bit. That's not even a 1/4 of what I have spent. This last redo was dang expensive.

You going to call this "The Last Tango"?

Very cool stuff!

I just want to take a moment to appreciate the pie cuts and welding done on that... It's such a pain in the *** to get that welded and lined up. Fantastic work!

what are your corner weights?

I don't remember.

Pay to play. :rofl2:

Car runs like a champ. Went out and had some fun with my best friend from high school today. We both had a blast.

Yesterday was the most fun I have had with my car in quite some time. The last time was after the first build years ago.

I am having a blast with real Rolling Antilag. Let go of that button and she is gone.

Here is a problem I encountered on my first engine build at only 824whp. The engine was 11:1. I also saw the exact same issue on my Mazworx engine when it was being gone through. That engine is 10:1. I went from a .82AR exhaust housing to a 1.06AR exhaust housing and moved my peak TQ up 700rpms to 5800. These pistons and rods have been sitting in that box for a couple of years. It was distinctive when we first pulled the first engine apart.

This video is a better example. This was caused by too much cylinder pressure too low in the rpm range and to add to the issue was coolant in the cylinder due to a blown headgasket. That was not detonation that killed it. It was a problem with the turbo kit itself.

The Fast Intentions kit was designed for a stock block car. I have pushed it way outside of its efficiency zone. It was designed for 750whp. Can you push it and turn it up. Yes, but it is not wise to do so. All of my turbo pipes and the intercooler have been upgraded to improve the efficiency. The Fast Intentions exhaust manifolds and 3in downpipes are still good to go. All of my EGT's stayed in check on all 6 cylinders. We did balance the EGT's on all 6 cylinders. Only #5 and #6 needed additional fuel to balance them out. That is due to the intake manifold design. They were not off by much.

She spun but the next hit was solid.

Still enjoying my car. No issues at all. Runs like a champ.

That’s great to hear man. After all the sh1t you’ve been through to get your car to this point, I hope you’re finally able to take a breath and just enjoy the hell out of it. :driving:

I am having a blast.

Note to myself. Don't try rolling antilag at 38 degrees even after warming the tires for 40 min. driving, I just can't help myself. LOL

:eek:

You’re one crazy bastard. :rofl2:

I wouldn’t even drive your car below 45 degrees with that kind of power. :eekdance:

Why? The car only does what you tell it to do. I just laughed.

2 more weeks and all hell is going to break loose. I have plans.

I finally got the extra down pressure I needed.

Car is running the best it has ever ran. Very happy with it.

My event got cancelled. OH well, so much for that idea.

You will never get this in a Tesla.

Wow I hadn’t followed in a while but looking like an awesome build and a ton of work. Easily could have bought a GTR with all the testing done already for the amount you put into your Z which is probably why no one else has done it. Still very interesting build and work done, hopefully you can sell some of the data that could be used for simpler builds as you said all the sensors etc used to verify the correct running parameters which can then be used without the feedback sensors. Much like I’ve seen suspension tuners will test with massively adjustable 4 way dampers to collect data and then build a simpler mono tube with those curves for a much cheaper cost. Your work may help others in the boosted Z community save their engines.

I could of had a 1400whp GTR or a Porsche GT2RS. I highly doubt anybody will pay me anything but that's OK.

The car is actually the fastest it has ever been at lower boost levels.
