Ahhh, I see that now in the pic. I can imagine it is a real pain. I think I may be abandoning my original plan to swap the gauges, don't think I want to deal with it.

Good luck! Can't wait to see the results!

Sweet build

DIGItonium · 12-01-2011, 11:23 AM

Wow! You're going all out. I see what came out of your extensive research haha. Congrats! You'll love it!

O&G · 12-01-2011, 11:24 AM

Ahhh yea, great parts list.... let me know when and where! DO WERK!

W.O.W. 370Z · 12-01-2011, 12:59 PM

Nice parts list. I am curious about the GTM FUEL PUMP VOLTAGE STABILIZER KIT. When did that start coming in the turnkey kit.

Mine didn't come with that.

Ron · 12-01-2011, 01:24 PM

It doesn't. It comes on their Stage 2 SC kit. GTM Motorsports*::*FUEL SYSTEM*::*GTM FUEL PUMP VOLTAGE STABILIZER KIT

TX_370 · 12-01-2011, 01:27 PM

So Sam recommended it?

Wonder if I should look into one?

Ron · 12-01-2011, 01:49 PM

I recommended it and he supported the decision lol. I kept reading about unstable fuel pressure related to voltage drop outs so this should help...For all I know I might not even need it but I am trying to get all the basics covered and all precautions taken to avoid any issues.

Best to prep early than react to something major later.

Ron · 12-01-2011, 01:57 PM

Yep. I was also looking into something to control and prevent knock. I've been reading about the J&S Safeguard but I'm still not sure how it would react to our weird ECU and VVEL. According to Sam, its not a plug n' play solution like in other cars but he is working on a kit that will make it so.. Then again, according to other tuners and the creator of the J&S... it should work. It's about $550 and it's constantly monitoring for knock, once it detects some it pulls timing just on the cylinder that knocked...As an alternative I'm considering meth injection, not to gain power but too keep everything cool and knock free, at least for summer.

I believe HKS has a knock sensor but does modify the ECU or have any control it just monitors the car. Not sure I would want something tapping into the ECU, even though I do not want knock I do not want something modifying my tune.

modme · 12-01-2011, 02:09 PM

Do you have any pictures and installation instructions for the fuel stabiliizer? interested in getting it.

Ron · 12-01-2011, 02:14 PM

Not yet. GTM has yet to ship the parts. ETA is end of next week.
