personally I thought they weren't bad you can do a lot worse. On here it is hard to get props unless your wheels are jdm and $2000 each or factory wheels plastidipped.

I like the rims but I think I don't like the tire setup the most..and there will be no plasti dipped rims on my car. But I can powder coat in my shop so I mite do that. ...I'll make the final decision when I drop the car this weekend

i wasn't mad! Just a wild wheel choice haha

well as you can see my name is blue now. hahahaha.. but here is another update on mods to the car. the dreddy profec, defi temp gauge, ARP L19 head studs and the clutch line came in. i was still in uniform and started the install on the boost controller i.e the location i've een thinking about since i bought it. more parts will be here tomorrow and thursday...But i want to give thanks to Z1 and there great people skills and put up with calling to see when things was going to ship and when they will be here....

I like the boost controller location.

Thanks. It's a great spot so you don't have to take your eyes off the road

I need that boost controller. My older profec failed me when I went to z1 last Thursday. It wouldn't hold boost over 11psi :(

that sucks...what was you trying to hit

Which spring do you have in the WGs?

The springs have like a 1.5-2 lb tolerance so if you at running the yellow spring Sasha suggested with a boost controller then that could very well be your problem. Your EBC is limited to 100% over the WG spring. When tuning for power I brought the whole bag of springs to my tuner in case I needed to swap for a larger spring. I suggest you swap tp the black spring and dial the last bit of boost in.

What did you end up making at 11 psi by the way?

I have the 7psi springs in it. I wanted 550whp but ended up getting 532whp in 5th gear.

Edited my post. The yellow spring is probably the problem

7 psi should be the red/green spring

Not with the Tial WGs that come with Sasha's kit. Right column.

Attachment 95896

his kit comes with 44mm i thought not 38mm wastegates....the mv-s is a 38mm wastegate...

MV-S is what's on the instructions I got with the kit

this is the mv-r 44mm wastegate

Update: they have decided to send me another short block. Should be shipping out today...and they offered me a free tune...said his guy is better then jon at z1...idk..If anyone has had a tune at z fever let me kno...but wish me luck I get this block by Friday

Good luck with Z fever. More tuners the better but I have not heard any positive things. Not much of anything besides Silvia stuff.

Jon and Z1 all the way. I live near Z Fever, but have never chose to do business with them. Have heard too many horror stories back in the day.

MAYBE that was rebuildable if you bored it haha depending on whether it had rusted straight through the sleeve or not yet lol.

Ooo I'm not going away from jon no way in hell. ..

don't do it they sent you a jacked up block, I could only imagine the tune.just get it built and have jon tune it.he's the only one I would trust with my car.

I'm with you ironhide I thought it was funny that doug was on the phone talking **** about z1..and can't even get me a dam block I can use

I might have missed it but what did you do with the secondary PCV that originally routed back into the stock intake tubes?
