370zrider · 04-26-2013, 06:05 PM

how necessary is to change the LSD when going F.I ?

Va_gunguy · 01-26-2014, 03:14 PM

This is just the info I was looking for! However from a maintenance point of view which is easier to take care of over the long run. Supercharger or turbo? or would they both be about the same?

SC requirements, for GTM, are as followed.
Belt, SC fluid, SC filter, intake filter every 50,000 miles

I snapped a belt at 25,000 miles and just passed 50,000 miles overall with my SC kit and doing all the above including the belt again (already has cracks). After this change over I will be dropping my interval down to 25-30k miles instead. Overall the materials will run you $250-300 and can mostly be done yourself or a good shop can do it in a couple hours tops.

Stillen SC is fluid at 2,500 the first time then 7,500 after that. I'm not sure about the belt.

Great thread you have been raped I mean repped!

AWIZRD · 07-25-2013, 11:01 PM

This is an awesome write up and very informative...Here's my dilemma...I saw a couple of the posts above that FI CAN be used on a DD. While I love my new Z, I miss the power that I had previously with my twin turbo 996. First there's the whole warranty issue and praying nothing major goes wrong..."maybe it won't if I don't go to crazy with the build" How long with this motor live as a daily driver? How many folks pulled the trigger on a TT kit for their new daily driven Z?

AWIZRD · 08-03-2013, 01:21 PM

Ok..another Noob question...This IS the "FI for Noobs" thread after all

Can someone explain the differences b/t internal and external wastegates and why one is better or worse then the other? And BOV? I know what it stands for, but don't know what it's for :-)

I need one of the yellow "Turbos for Dumbies" books

Luv driving Turbo cars, now I want to know all about them!

Chuck33079 · 08-03-2013, 01:30 PM

For a really good book on the subject, pick up Corky Bell's "Maximum Boost".

AWIZRD · 08-04-2013, 07:25 PM

Got the book today. Thx for the suggestion :-)

raymondo510 · 09-03-2013, 06:55 AM

Wasn't sure where to post this, but I have a '09 6mt, im planning on going TT hopefully by this time next year. My car has been a daily driver since I got it and I have about 55K on the odometer. My question is, is there a certain point mileage wise where I shouldn't boost my car? I'll be getting a DD soon to help keep the milage off the Z but started thinking about this. My other thought was should I just sell my current Z and get a lower mileage one once I have my DD. I just don't want to start buying all the supporting mods and then find out its not worth it.

Chuck33079 · 09-03-2013, 07:17 AM

Get a compression test and an oil analysis. If all the numbers come back clean, go for it. There's no magic number where it's got too many miles to mod.
