How about EVC-S and Innovative Wideband? They can be had for about $550 both.

EVC-6 and AFK-2 FTW! Boost, A/F and knock all covered. And if you want to go the extra mile Camp-2. I have all of these but the AFK-2 but that will be my next thing I will buy. I will get them molded into the headliner

I'll probably save this for Phase 2

Eagerly waiting for updates...

Ron · 08-08-2011, 12:28 PM

I'll drop by tomorrow and take some pics

JB-370z · 08-08-2011, 12:29 PM

Its not cheap to get the AFK2, EVC-6 and Camp-2 fully implemented in. Prolly say around 3k installed etc. Def not the 500 like Rons idea entails but its the best way to be covered on all bases and some.

Got some MMS photos from Paul today. They're basically teaser photos of the work in progress. Check out the 2nd post for some TINY photos, but you can see in the background the engine has been removed!

DIGItonium · 08-19-2011, 02:30 PM

Post #1 updated. Paul Morgan has been sending me teaser photos of the install progress. The latest photo shows the completed installation, and the car should be getting tuned and tested sometime today. Gauges will be installed on Monday.

theDreamer · 08-19-2011, 02:31 PM

Looks like I might need to stop by tonight for some 'test' driving.

JB-370z · 08-19-2011, 09:22 PM

I was at Baker and found not only a built GTM short block but also so ugly silver 370z among-st other things. I made sure to kick the turbos though

DIGItonium · 08-20-2011, 12:06 AM

Sweet pictures! So the heat shields come with the kit as well?

Who's shortblock is that? What's being done with it?

JB-370z · 08-20-2011, 09:40 AM

That is Mr. Bakers. Its going on his 370z TT, the white one with the racing project Mu BBK in the back lot. I am tempted to put that mean machine in my car. However, I need a new clutch before I up the boost. I am currently rebuilding a 240sx at the same time. Thats why I have slowed down on modding the Z.

It is amazing how well put together that GTM block is. I will have one soon, no doubt.

The white Z in this video is where the GTM block will find its home.

DIGItonium · 08-20-2011, 11:01 AM

That 240 looks sweet! Have you looked up SR20VET? Interesting motor. Sounds like a fun project. It was a vehicle to consider getting back in 2000 and have my dad's friend drop in the SR20, but he didn't have time to work on custom jobs.

Hopefully the 370Z will be my only project haha. The rest goes to the house.
