Jason definitely shows passion with his work and takes it seriously. I'm so excited... every once in awhile I end up dreaming about driving a boosted Z lol. |
Got to watch Jason in action a couple weeks back. Very meticulous and thorough. Last time I was there your car was in the air and the motor on the ground with the turbos bolted on. Can't wacit to pick my car up from him on Saturday :D
|
Yes Jason really knows what he's doing, and is making sure it's perfect. Is the G37s yours quicksilver? Looks nice
|
Do you guys know what kind of beer he likes? :p
So I'm told the car runs great, but Jason is a bit concerned about water temps being higher than usual. So far his hunch is the restriction coming from the stock cats. I used to have Berks, but it was too unbearable for daily driving. If it is the cats, I may go for the Fast Intentions HFC this time. Hopefully it's not unbearable for daily driving... Is this an EGT issue? I'm not monitoring it. Looking back, I wish I went with the Depo 4-in-1 gauges (Analog gauge with OLED display), but I already had the regular ones in hand (too lazy to sell). |

Products I ordered the gauges for boost and oil pressure from a vendor here, but the AFR gauge was 50mm. I ended up selling it and ordered a gauge for oil temp. The Ebay seller suggested the 4-in-1, but I didn't have a good layout other than to sell the ones I had and opt for the ones he had available. He wanted about $200 for each combo versus $100 for the regular stepper motor, so it was hefty at the time when I was not sure if I wanted to go for forced induction. |

The car is super nice on all levels! Your going to enjoy !! Not sure why water temps are so high. The turbos are water and oil cooled...... Mine are sitting pretty at the moment even in high atmospheric temps. I know Jason will figure it out |

Thanks! |
Haha I'm old school and prefer analog gauges, and I'm not too crazy about the gauge design of the Camp 2. In fact, I'd prefer to make my own. If I can get a good data acquisition setup feeding a PC, then I can write a program to get the values and display them anyway I like (part of my job lol).

Jason resolved the water temp issue by removing air bubbles in the system, but I started getting paranoid about EGT issues down the road. I went ahead and ordered the Fast Intentions HFCs. The OEM cats were too restrictive, so hopefully the HFCs will help lower the EGTs while improving exhaust flow.
F.I.'s recommendation was to relocate the HFC further down the pipe because of the heat from the turbos and engine. The plan was to install test pipes, and then custom mount the HFCs to the s-pipe area (after the test pipes). This is something I may do down the road. Other than that, he says the car is doing well. He'll start on the gauges soon, but waiting for the HFCs will give him some more time to work on the car. |
