CJM 370z had boost envy, problem solved...

Im not big on teasers, not anymore. Because it usually bites me in the ***. As a smaller company, I am pretty slow at new product R&D.

But I havent said much about my car lately. Today is the first nice weather day here in Chicago-area. Some may think that we all crank away hard during the down-months of the winter, but that's only partially true. Many of us eventually grow tired of it, and it starts to really slow us down and hurt our drive.

Well its going to hit 70 degrees today and I want to live!

Cant wait to start a new thread about my car in a couple weeks and show you all what we have been up to in our spare time.

Not going to be a problem with the current record... Looking at the timeslips, my car already had it if had a clean pass but I failed it as a driver that day.

But the problem for us 6MTs, Cy's auto car is going to do a bit better yet when its trans isnt slipping the entire way down the track. With 600-620rwhp, a ~3400# 7AT 370z with a 1.6-1.7 60' should run about a 10.2 - 10.4.

It has every advantage... it has more gearing off the line, closer ratios to make more use of the engine power, and shifts faster than a person can.

So until I put a built motor in my car, I might have to just settle for quickest 6MT rather than quickest overall. I dont know if even 700rwhp with a 6MT is going to beat what that auto car can do in the 1/4. Looking towards the future, its probably going to remain a constant that the 7ATs are generally outperforming the 6MTs in the 1/4, but that the outright fastest cars will be 6MTs because its likely we will be exceeding the power the 7AT can handle.

We are building it around those big boys as they are what I will run on my built motor and we need to make sure they fit as an option. I have been thinking about picking up a pair of smaller turbos to keep running on the stock engine for a little longer though, and also to double check fitment and see if we need to make an alternate downpipe jig for smaller turbos.

Crap, while I am here, I gotta show off these stainless flanges I made. Back side and front side, port shape transition to round matching the tubes.

I see more than one pair of flanges which means... this wont be a one-off kit!

That would be correct! We will be selling everything we build for my car. But we have no plans to put together a turn-key / cookie-cut package... so we are not looking to get into that particular race. Our stuff will be for entirely personalized builds and tuning and etc.

Cant say yet, it still has not arrived. I actually notified them on Monday that I will have to bail out until availability improves if I dont have a tracking number by the weekend. After the MHI thing here (which I only witnessed, was not a buyer of course), leaving almost $8000 of my money in a holding pattern doesnt sit well with me. I will just put the money into my Z for now until they can handle the orders.

As I mentioned in another thread... we have finished our passenger side exhaust manifold design/jig/layout and my welder can build them at will now. Well... the wastegate isnt on there yet, but that is going to be like the final touch since we have a lot of freedom on placement with it.

We are still working on the drivers side, which is much tighter due to the steering shaft. We are trying our best to limit how much modification is required to the driver side motor mount. But these are some awfully large turbos we are putting in my car right now. Sometimes I consider selling them and going down a step, but for the manifolds; the show most go on. I want our CJM manifolds to be capable of putting these monsters on the side of the engine... for if they do not, there isnt a whole lot of point in them existing!

So we will keep fitting the beasts, and then test fit with smaller stuff later.

Here is a really dark and terrible shot of the passenger manifold installed. It has gobs of clearance and turned out great.

We had a funny thought of taking a break with my car, and just putting the single GTX3582R on the passenger side there... make a crossover tube and run it as a single turbo for a little while LOL. That turbo would be able to make the same power my twin Greddy kit was at anyway, and then I could get back to the track and work on bettering that 6MT 1/4 record!!!
