Intake temps were about 10-15 above ambient if I recall. It was surprisingly good considering I have unshielded long tubes sitting right below and snaking past two Superchargers

Thanks, does anyone have updated install manual? The manual I have shows two air filters in passenger side, but mine has a green filter...

Martin,

Glad to see you are installing the kit I am sure you will be very pleased :) It seems you are looking at the instructions for a Stage 1 kit and you need the Stage 1.5 instructions. I will PM them to you tomorrow.

Have fun!

-George

Martin:

Perhaps your dilemma is airflow over the oil cooler itself. If you can find a way to maximize airflow, the 34 row would make it's money for you. I haven't taken mine on any circuit yet, but I ran the Dragon and the two connecting highways in 2 loops while they were doing the car show during ZDayZ 2013. Lets just say, I drove gingerly and my temps never exceeded 230.

As far as clutch goes, I have the ZSpeed CSC and SS braided lines. I have Competition Clutch's Twin Disk and it is the money. You may have to call them about it because I haven't seen it on their site, but John from Zerolift told me that it was a beast to install. OS Giken is a sure shot as well, but you are going to pay for it. I have no experience with OS Giken in a Z, but I had their twin disk in 2 out of 3 S13s I owned.

FWIW, I've been super happy with my Stg3 Ceramic clutch from Competition Clutch. Over a year with it now, including one track day and its held up pretty well.

martin82 02-12-2014 07:36 PM

thanks!

I am having some problems with installation. My installer says it is where the PS Steering Bracket and Alternator bracket are.

The manual calls for a M10x1.25x128mm bolt, but the bolt is almost 1/4" too short, the bolt only threads about 1-2 turns. Anyone got any ideas? Also, the installer says they ordered a longer bolt but even then, the bracket hole is counter sunk so they won't be able to tighten it with a socket. Installer says we would need a socket head cap screw with allen wrench. Ideas, thoughts?

Matt@GTM 02-12-2014 07:52 PM

That should be right, can you post up a pic from the side of what you have looks like so far? I'm assuming you have the two alternator brackets bolted together and mounted to the side of the engine as well as the main bracket correct? We only carry one bolt around that length so the chances are low that it is the wrong one, it seems something else is a miss.

martin82 02-12-2014 08:14 PM

I don't have a picture of it at the moment, but I asked the installer, and I circled it he said it is this bolt he says it can only thread 1-2 turns only. I could have the wrong bolt not sure... there has been no change on a 2012 I assume? Thanks.

One more pic of the bolt I'm talking about (not my picture) , Matt@gtm can I get one sent overnight tomorrow? I'll pay for it offcourse says it is 1/4" too short thought, maybe you or someone can measure it really quick?

Baer383 02-12-2014 08:54 PM

The bolt is not short you have to put your other hand behind the alt to push the captured nut forward for it to start.

And I can guarantee your installer DID NOT measure the length of the bolts as shown in the directions.
And installed the bolt in the wrong spot.

martin82 02-12-2014 09:07 PM

I think the actual bolt in the picture is missing, I will know tomorrow once I get pictures.
