Looks like I was on to something asking you how the voltages checked out. Thats all that was adding up in my head. Glad it turned out better then our texts started! I will get in touch with you again tomorrow. By the way were those wires even soldered?

Im pretty sure GTM, or any other quality company would hook you up. sorry you went through all of this, but man, Im really glad to hear your almost at 100%

I edited my rant... I forgot they took 2hrs of labor off my bill when they installed my Flexalite fans. :ugh2:

Yeah, I kept putting that thought into the back of my head BECAUSE LUTZ ASSURED ME THE MAF WIRING WOULD BE FINE. I think the pictures speak for themselves.

Due to the bad design of their intake piping, the MAFs were reading different voltages. Instead of redoing the intake piping like how it is now and the way that I suggested, they said it would be better to bridge the MAFs. They did...and the car never ran better. It may have helped to get it retuned, but why would I pay to get it retuned if I wasn't sure the bridging of the MAFs would fix the issue?

So I had the piping redone the CORRECT way and when I called Lutz to ask how to unbridge the MAFs, they said just to cut the bridge they had wired....so I did cut it and that's why the car was in limp mode because 2 wires weren't even connected into the MAF sensor.

Ya I have a buddy who builds turbo kits, and he was looking at ideas for single turbo build on my car. This would b down the road but I will def be using your build thread for tips on what to do and what not to do !

Bridging the mafs was a huge hack-- that was known since day one. Same with the unequal length piping.
Sorry to hear you had to go through this, but at least this shop is getting some accurate publicity for once.

daisuke149 08-24-2011 11:36 AM

Hey Ryan, its been the biggest headache for you im sure, but seems you are in better hands now and hopefully you get this thing running soon. Just remember! once its up and running, dont touch the dang thing and enjoy it for a while!

I don't even want to. Having been down that road before, I feel for you. I'm pissed at the shop for your sake--it's not your job to know when they're being idiots.

98intrigue 08-24-2011 12:52 PM

I just drove my car to work, since I went home for lunch. No CEL! No limp mode! No 10.0 AFR under partial throttle. I'm happy:tup:

Then what do I do with the CSF radiator in my trunk or the Stance coilovers that are sitting in my garage? Haha

Good to hear! Send them to me for free, I will take care of them :stirthepot:

98intrigue 08-24-2011 12:58 PM

And if I haven't said it already, a big thank you to Jon and Z1!:tup:

Nothing against HP Logic, but due to how well Jon and the Z1 people have treated me, I'm going to wait until Z Nationals to have my car fine tuned and make the 9 hour drive up there.

They be good fella's for sure.

Glad your coming up for Z Nationals man.

98intrigue 08-24-2011 04:32 PM

Just got home from work...and I boosted on the way home :driving:

Previous Z1 tune from when I broke down on the way home from ZDayz, the car made 507whp at 11psi. Who knows what I'm making now, but it hit 11.7psi...and holy crap, I smiled big for the first time since the car went to Lutz. To say the least, it felt fast :eek: I'm even more excited to see how it will run when I get the tune done in a month from now at Z Nationals. Idle is a tad rich at 13.5-14.0, cruising is in the 14s, and WOT is 11.7-12.0. For a tune Jon sent me, it's prety spot on! I'm going to datalog and send him my results to see if there is anything that needs immediate attention.

Those numbers sound solid for a mailed tune. Glad things are looking up!

Ryan, what do you use to datalog? Glad your coming up. I'll buy you a drink.

A forum member let me borrow his UpRev tuner cable and another friend brought over his laptop. Too bad it just poured :(

FortuneLSX-TT 08-24-2011 07:46 PM

Glad to hear that you've finally got to enjoy driving it for a bit... just in time for a hurricane.

Good decision on Z nationals, you'll have to let me know so we can start our own boosted Z caravan. Or as Daisuke suggested when I met him at Z1, start our own boosted Florida Z Club lol. (PS Daisuke, I was the guy with the black Nismo getting tuned at Z1 a few weeks ago)

Did someone say GT-R's worst nightmare? :roflpuke2:

Stock 09-10 GTR with no launch control nightmare

Nah, not me. But watch out...............lol

I will be a GTR's worst nightmare...only if he has no launch control, no feet, is blind, and only if he doesn't know who z_eliminator is, otherwise the GTR owner would say "you're not our worst nightmare, that z_elimator fellow is."
