*****Fast Intentions "Twin Turbo Kit" is here*****

Rusty

I have a few things to get off my financial plate first. Plus I want to get everything else to the Nismo done before boost.

Thanks z&i. I def will let u know how it compares to 660. The m370 manifold was recommended to me by 1life so i think ill invest in one over the winter and see if we can crank it up a bit more.

I had asked about the M370 Plenum during the first part of my build and was told that these modified plenums were OK with NA motors but with Hi Boost FI motors they had a tendency to flex and warp under boost.
The reason given was that the modification to the plenums included cutting and removing some of the internal baffles and while allowing for a more direct airflow they also compromised the structural integrity of the design.
How true ??? I dunno - but I stuck with the OEM plenum at least for now.
The car isn't finished yet but is in the final stages ...
Hope to get it on the road and put some miles on it before it's time to put the winter cover on it !!!

keep us posted bro! Well 1life has got a serious 820whp build and his m370 was able to hold 24 psi on 10:1 compression. So with not many options on the table i think that the m370 is my best option until someone releases an intake manifold thats not going to cost an arm and a leg.

I have on for sale "New" never installed, just no hardware! CHEAP

I think AAM has a design for an intake manifold in line for development ... they are the one's who told me to stick with the OEM over the M370.
But if the M370 can handle 24 psi on 10:1 CR ...
I'm running 9.5:1 CR and will be nursing the motor along until the spring - no break in miles on the motor as of yet.
Will have to skip taking it to the track this year.

Keeping this ugrade open pending further developments !!!

lol ... yep ... a mere 220 miles away.
Haven't driven it in 2 years now - with the exception of 1 day about a year and a half ago - and that was just long enough to blow the motor with the upgraded Stillen SC'r impeller and 9 lb pulley.
??? Anybody out there considering doing that ??? DON'T !!!

Right now the car is in pieces - with the dash out for gauges - the wheels off for brakes - the nose off for anodizing the I/C.
But everything else is done. Putting it back together should be an considering all the work sweat and tears already put in to it.

EcuTek has a ton of options and safety features.
Using the EcuTek to control the boost.
I am removing the RaceLogic in favor of the EcuTek Traction Control and Launch as well.
Hijacking the Cruise Control for the Launch and adding a Rotary Selector Switch for the Slip Control.
I have line locks for the standing burnout and a switch/relay set up to drop out the ABS and ABLS.
But gotta wait till spring to see what it will do in the 1/4.

Will also have to upgrade my Avatar once it's done since the car has shed it's OEM Aero Kit.

Can't tell you exactly how, but the tuner has said he can do it through EcuTek and he has done it before.
He's done a ton of GTR's and [well, almost] a ton of Z's.

I contacted EcuTek support to find out just how and they pretty much told me to contact the tuner...so I got off that merry-go-round.
Evidently EcuTek can be utilized to monitor boost and electronically control the wastegate.
On the down side - I might be giving up the flexibility of selecting my own boost settings though - don't know how much of a good or bad thing that is.
Don't plan on racing it until the spring - so I've got a little time to get to know the car again.

I should say here that the car isn't being done by FI ...
The car had already transported to another shop before FI released their TT kit WR video.
As Agent 86 Maxwell Smart would have said --- " Missed it by --- That Much --- "

Just couldn't bring myself around to extricating the car from another shop [once again] to ride the rails across the county.

Don't want to get too far off topic here ... but will find out more when the tuner gets back from SEMA.

We use the CPC to control a solenoid to regulate boost pressure on this car and many other platforms (even using stock ECU solutions like ECUTek).

Yes this works on the 370Z. The only downside right now is it's a VERY slow circuit -- only 11hz. For good response you want to be around 24-32hz on the typical solenoid.

Yeah hes right, i dont run an electronic boost controller anymore. Its all done through my tune. I have four different map settings. Eco, eco sport, race, and killer. Well thats what i named them atleast. I was told by visconti that i dont even need my boost controller anymore so i took it out. It is utilizing the solenoid from my boost controller still. I never really messed with my boost controller anyways and infact i dont even think i knew how to use it lol.

That is awesome! Gotta luv those map names

I was thinking: Really, OK then, Bring it, Goodbye!
