Vince does this on every Z he tunes to my knowledge, mine were set there na, you now have an huge intercooler and an oil cooler blocking your rad, you want those fans pulling the air through, and these cars ar know for extreme engine temps...I say not overkill IMO! I almost hit 200 on oil after doing a couple runs while tweaking the boost controller, still that is impressive to me, once I have some better motoring(wishing I added water temp now, I may in the future) to see how my stock rad is keeping up. As for the pump, once the car is running I am almost accustomed to it, I have to listen for it now.

I also noticed substantially higher temps after I got tuned and turned up the boost. On WG I could barely get it to 90degC. Now that I'm running close to 10lbs I see 105degC when romping on it. I am in Houston though so its naturally hotter.

I came from supra's where guys run E85 all the time. A shop posted pics of injectors that were one years old and how bad they looked. They recommended getting them cleaned yearly. It might be over kill but when you're tuned on the raged edge or making over 1000whp, what's a couple hundred bucks a year for piece of mind.

As much as E85 can be a pain in the ***, its benefits outweigh its negatives. All this cooling discussion has me thinking of its latent heat of vaporization properties. It literally pulls 3x the amount of heat out of the cylinder and runs your block temps cooler.

So I snapped a t-bolt while doing routine checks. I prefer the t-bolt clamps that have the round shank instead of the square like came with the kit. I also had to cut a few to clearance rubbing points which makes them one time use. Short story long I'm going to replace them the next time I do complete maintenance. Can anyone confirm my counts?

6 - 2.75"
12 - 2.5"
1 - 3"
1 - 2"

I broke one to. They don't take much to break. They I found out they don't need to be kryptynite (spelling?) tight.

The thing about mine was I wasn't really applying that much torque. Thankfully I had a spare 2.5" t-bolt that I stole from my G3 intake. Guess I'll have to replace it before I install it on the buyers car.

vibrant makes them. Have used them many times, very good clamps. I broke a couple as well, sasha replaced them free of charge. if they break next time i loosen or tighten them, i will go with vibrant clamps.

If these are breaking, you guys are over tightening them. They really don't need to be very tight, as all the pipes are bead rolled. I have installed at least a hundred of these clamp and never had one let go, or even hint at failure. This includes some cars that are pushing 30+psi. Never an issue.

Hit 215 degrees on the oil today. This is with 75-80 degree weather. First time seeing 215 with the kit.

I don't even think I hit that on the dyno and I live in Houston

TopgunZ · 05-09-2014, 04:03 PM

Well those muther ******* bad luck trolls are still clinging to me.

Want to know what happens when a boost controller goes bad on a dyno?

You get 19.5 lbs of boost and 680 torque to the wheels at 4000 rpm.

Good news is my engine is still in one piece!

So after I ripped that out we made 465whp and 430tq on 9lb wastegate springs. Probably going to be putting the 11lb springs in this weekend then going back to break 500.

Damn I think you just made the record for highest power from a stock block. LOL

Hahaha... The spool on that turbo is SCARY at those levels. It sounded like it was going to suck the intake filter straight through it. Ill throw up the graph here in a bit. I had them print it out..lol.
