Power hungry. NA just isn’t doing it for me anymore.

You have any more pic's of your install? And which rear diff cover you using? Stock or Z1, or Nismo? I'm installing mine now. Should be done today. I'm using the Z1 cover and figured out how to use the top return port. :D I'll post pic's in my install thread. :tiphat:

I’m using the stupid stock pumpkin. I’ll jack the car up tomorrow and take some pictures for you.

Rusty 03-22-2018 01:18 PM

You're using the stock diff cover. You don't have to post pic's on it. It doesn't apply to me. I'm using the Z1 cover with the extra hole in the side. I was told that I couldn't use that hole for return because the axle sensor is in the way. I found a way to use it with a banjo fitting. If you want. You can post your pic's in my thread of your install. To show how you did it with the stock cover. :tup:

It crossed my mind lol. No they will be sitting on the shelf until the Vr head bolt conversion gets up and running. I’ll let MaMotorsports be the judge of doing any head work.

Want something to hold up to the abuse of boost when road racing. It will spend most of its time just running wastegate pressure. Plus I don’t want to be afraid of torque which kills stock blocks. Not like I won’t be able to turn boost up and be right at 800whp. I’m not building a drag car, so huge power isn’t what I need.
