Dry slump ?

Megan370z 03-11-2013 06:30 PM

no one got it yet ! hehe I will post some picture by next weekend

btw another important part that I must get is the damn 6MT driving shaft ! I found one online at 400$ delivered . not bad :)

the 7at driving shaft was about 2-3'' shorter once installed with the 6MT

another update !

I havent done much yesterday other than to bolt an OEM catback to avoid some complain about the noise ! and to look how the idle was.
As I expected, the engine was running extremely rich ! 10.25-10.5 AFR
on my first try I got it very close ! but I couldnt do much as I dont have the radiator connected yet ! I only did 2 start of about 30 sec

Today I continued one of many projects going on !
Remember the car will be mostly used for the track as a lot of streetability of the car has been and will be removed.
There is still a lot to be done but its a start ! I finished the radiator mount earlier today ;)
disregard the oem intake since I wanted to have mostly everything stock for the first idle & low load tune.

Small Update !:happydance:

The radiator setup has been completed a few days ago ! I will post a picture of the final result when ever I get the chance ;)
There is just a small issue that piss me off ... the HR ECU control differently the fan control module than the 370z ECU. which mean im stuck to order an aftermarket variable fan control unit.
Right now, a manual switch is installed ... :shakes head:

Today I installed the RJM clutch pedal assembly with the Wilwood master cylinder.
Wasnt too hard but there is still some adjustement to be done.
Remember the Z had a 7AT ? hehe

Nice progress. When does testing start?

Megan370z 03-26-2013 09:17 PM

Well I have quite a few problem to deal with right now ....
- adding a variable fan control unit
- fixing the back-up light... I must have welded the wrong wire
- I must finish the ABS delete and plug that brake bias panel
- there wasnt any live tuning with cipher the last time I tried I hate doing it thru the Rom editor
The ilde isnt too bad . It was around 10 AFR !!!!
- doing a front top support for the bumber attachement since the oem component has been removed
Because of a V-mount type radiator setup which mean there will be a big hole in the hood at some point
- finishing the oil cooler lines with the Accumulator that will be temporaly inslled on the passenger side
(An enclosed box will be made later on this summer . I received my Tig welder today !!!;)
- mid-april is the installation of the anti fuel starvation unit
- once all of this has been completed I will do a road test but the car need a safety done first . There isnt any emission control here so im good for that part . The garage where I plan to go told me I didnt had to have the airbag in so as long as I dont have an exhaust leak its gonna be alright

Its hard to tell because a few week ago I was expecting to be able to start driving by mid-april... right now its more around the end of april.

I need to re-order some stuff that I didnt think about..
Remember in the beginni g when I blew the engine I mentionned it should be done by June 2013 !!
Somehow its gonna probably be sonner !!!

Im leaving for the weekend tomorrow so im gonna try to get the Accumulator connected ;)

Megan370z 04-07-2013 03:01 PM

Woot ! Megan finaly decided to start with the OEM push-start switch !!
My bad though, because I discovered after going back in the wiring setup that one of the wire wasnt getting any power as it should have with the neutral-position switch the 6MT has, instead of the 7AT which probably is energized by the tranny itself.

Next problem now!!!
-Back-up light





Oh by the way the accumulator has been fully installed yesterday;)

Megan370z 04-07-2013 06:01 PM

this isnt the final setup ! dont worry the coolant reservoir will be relocated !
The oil cooler is not be installed at the usual spot because its soo big ! It was supposed to be my new oil cooler for the VHR but now it is overkill on the HR setup.. !!! I had to adjust with it !

http://www.the370z.com/members/megan...-relocated.jpg



Accumulator installed temporaly.
There is a manual valve instaled on the right side of the center console ! ;)
