Volk is going to be a bit more but they are stronger. Wedsport I like and am thinking of ordering a set for my Silvia next year once it gets back on the road.
It all comes down to what style you want and size/offset.

NYBladeZ 11-17-2011 06:43 PM

since power kicks in late, any thoughts on raising the redline to 8k? This setup by jtran looks really sweet, hoping the short term and long term results hold up.

O&G 11-17-2011 06:57 PM

I won't be revving to 8k but I know others have on here. I'd rather shift and keep it in boost, car is fast, I'll post more info. soon!

I went to Arby's, thought I'd turn on the cell phone video camera. Speed limit is 45 mph, so I didn't really get on it. I also did a walk around the car while at idle at the end of the video. You can get a good idea about drivability and how the car sounds. Hopefully I'll be posting a dyno video and other footage w/ a real camera this weekend.

If ur airbag light's flashing because something was disconnected without disconnecting the battery here's how you can fix it. http://www.the370z.com/audio-video/8...-installs.html

O&G 11-17-2011 09:05 PM

Ron ftw! lol, I was wondering wtf was up w/ that. I disconnected it when I did gauge install.

Ron 11-17-2011 09:07 PM

It's really annoying to have that thing flashing in ur face lol

New Year Update
 
Cars running fine, there is a dyno day on the 28th of this month, I hope to have my meth kit installed and running 10psi w/ a fresh tune. Other smaller updates can be found in my journal. Happy new year everyone, it's going to be a good one! :)



Put my lil bro out in the cold and shot a few clips.

This clip is a take off, @ the 8-9 second mark I make small fire out my rear end! :)

This clip is coming back

This is inside the car, prob reved it up to 6k, nothing too crazy. I have pretty stiff suspension and camera isn't that great but you get an idea.

Thank you sir, I'll have some more videos up this month of the Dyno day we're having here in town. I know a few forum members will be there.

NYBladeZ 01-03-2012 02:44 PM

what hp/tq are you targeting?

O&G 01-03-2012 03:03 PM

450-480whp on the mustang dyno and a bunch of wtq!

98intrigue 01-03-2012 11:02 PM

You make me sick...you and your single turbo videos:inoutroflpuke:

Nixlimited 01-03-2012 11:38 PM

Is your BOV post-MAF? If so, that's most likely why you are getting a bunch of backfires on shifts.

Actually, BOVs are almost always post-MAF on stock turbo cars, but the metering issue is remedied by the return air line that runs from BOV back to the intake. Since most aftermarket kits use VTA BOVs, you see a lot of backfires during shifting since the metered air gets blown off during the shift, which makes for a temporary rich condition, and thus the backfire. This has nothing to do with your tune.

Not talking about "stock" systems, aftermarket systems... and yes, letting off the gas abruptly while in boost will create that situation. I was trying to make that sound!

car8oy281 01-04-2012 09:21 AM

bovs are mounted before the Maf so the air being dumped is metered.

Looking good bro! And I agree with you about getting 98's "champ" back online. If you have a plan, let me know how I can help!

Thanks man! Hopefully Nissan will hook 98 up w/ a new motor, that's the biggest issue for him. I know there are good shops in his area but he's always welcome to come to Texas, we have a few great VQ shops out here as well. I'd be interested to see if he has had a compression check done..... sounds like bearing or rod damage from his descriptions though! We will know more by the end of this month hopefully.

O&G 01-04-2012 02:34 PM

I appreciate it, fellas! I never did a compression test. I didn't think there's a point since I know it's blown. Now if I can't get help with the motor, there will be a teardown to determine what happened.

Regarding shops, I know there are plenty of good ones around. After my dealings with Z1 during my ZDayz fiasco, they earned a customer for life.

O&G 01-04-2012 05:52 PM

Can't go wrong w/ Z1, I've been a customer of theirs for many years. Actually looking at taking the Z to their ZDay Event this year. Best of luck man!

roplusbee 01-04-2012 06:33 PM

I think Z1 is a very good choice.............

We have a RHD option for our TT kit and have had good results in Australia...GReddy is not your only option. ;)

Cheers guys, was aware GTM did a turbo kit for RHD :) they are my first choice so far! Won't be doing anything for a while but just keeping the options open.
