You just need to step up and put 350z heads on your car with real engine controller.

Starts at 20k, but can go up to 40k if you have them build it for you and race ready.

Both good options, thanks! Hope we're all hanging around here on page 242, which will be around the time I'm ready to make this decision!

So, I'm going to be looking at potentially another engine... oil line came disconnected in addition to HG and whatever else... fingers crossed that I shut it all down in time! arggggghhhhh... not giving up but I could use a freakin beer... I think I learned this lesson already, but never ever skimp on oil line fittings

I spoke too soon... received an email update from Bobby 30 mins ago

"Your [engine] is running my man! and seems to sound ok too. Bobby CIN Motorsports"

Relief!... There's no question one of the oil lines was completely lose, but it must have blown off right after I pulled off track and shut it down.

And of course Bobby is living up to his reputation - working deep into Saturday night. I picked the right shop!

Nice! Congrats Travis. Sounds like you'll be back on track soon.

Op what engine are you on?

What oil are you running?

SPOHN · 07-15-2012, 03:08 PM

I found this discussion between Jay and you. So this must mean you dont need a AC bracket made to replace the AC to delete it. Just another belt smaller belt, correct?

The AC delete is pretty easy. Once you snatch the compressor off replace the stock belt with a Gates K060500. This is a 6 rib belt rather than the stock 7, however it should be fine as it will have no compressor load. Lace the belt through the; power steering, alternator, tensioner and crank pulley normally. Then only use the upper most grooved pulley to complete the loop. We removed the AC side smooth idler and the center ribbed idler as they have no use in this configuration.''

^ yes. I believe the Gates belt # you want is

# K070750

... found that in an old email... could be wrong so don't blame the messenger!

That was the right belt... but replacing it this weekend, I'm simply amazed that the last guy was able to get this belt on... with the tensioner all the way, I'm still an inch or two short of getting the belt over the pulleys. I'm going to try switching to this one size up... for random passerby's please keep in mind that this only applies if you have deleted your a/c and added a GTM supercharger kit
