Keep posting your progress. Looking good so far. :tup:

No worries, I'll post pics and products I use.. Just trying to keep up with you brother :tup: .

Well was going to rest this morning but I had to re-arrange the garage. I adopted a metal band saw and a standing drill press. Still need a small welder for Aluminum. Cutting this hood may speed that purchase up, I want to use all metal if i can.

This afternoon I met a couple of awesome people, Mike and Joel. Mike needed Springs installed. So we hooked him up. If anyone out there is selling you springs with Infinity Struts on them, Don't pay more for the strut. Those struts will NOT work on a Z, the studs are to short and wont clear the Strut Ring making it impossible to get a nut started. If the seller says they will fit remember a car guy that does this work daily is telling you they wont fit! We got Mike's springs swapped on to the Z struts, the springs slammed his ride.

Joel came by for paint, I do need to apologize to him. We didn't get to his lights and like typical Florida weather it started raining like crazy. I never got to do his lights. That doesn't happen often and if you see this post I am sorry. :tiphat:

So, back out to work on hood. Adjusting the cut lines to ensure I have the clearance for the 1 inch drop into the engine bay. :driving:

Nice progress :)

Quick question here for the stillen sc guru...

Turbosmart BOV is in there and my mechanic is wondering if it's adjustable. You see, the placement of the BOV just makes it hard to adjust (if possible. He says it's impossible) the spring rate of the BOV. Can you hear your BOV? I don't :(

On the side note, my car gets STUPID rich when I hit boost and put it to neutral AF 9.8 ish

Thinking it's the BOV causing the problem :p

Don't know the spring pressure, I don't here mine open up either. BOV is adjustable, adjust this BOV simply by twisting the top of the body itself, rotate it clockwise for a harder spring rate (for those of you at sea level) and counter-clockwise for a softer spring rate (for those in higher elevation)Technical Articles | Adjusting Your Bov Or Bpv 1 | Turbosmart USA. If it was on and not set right before tuning it may now be a tuning issue.

There are some other things it might be but tuning is the most common. Worse case might be when the kit was installed and the fuel pressure regulator was drilled it may have gone to deep and ruptured the diaphragm.

My kit is starving for fuel even with my pressure regulator set at 60. Weird how this stuff works differently on each car..

Stayed home from work today.. Made this ! Its a TPMS Bomb. Had a customer ask how to turn off his dash light. His rims wouldn't allow him to use the sensors so I made this. Throw all 4 in here and pressurize it to 40 pounds, throw it in the trunk and call it a day.. Anyone needs this let me know.. :tiphat: I didn't want to take his dash apart at $80.00 and hour just for the light.

Lol, clever solution

yea... Motor in and harness hooked up. Kelly's car is almost back on the road..

That is a great idea,the only drawback is it you got pulled over and for some reason they see it ,it kind of looks like a pipe bomb.:roflpuke2:

Sunday has been very productive... Started with getting the drill press ready for Kelly. He was going to drill out the holes for the Strut Brackets everyone ordered. When he got here he said they weren't in the boxes the supplier shipped. Worked out great :tup: we started working on Robs lights right away; got the body filler on and sanded smooth, just need to wet sand tonight and done.

Lunar-Eclipse came over at noon and we pulled his lights apart. Gave him a fresh paint job and color matched the shrouds to his 40th Edition Z. Tell you what man, I need a shop. Freaking creature fly's in and starts a trek through the freshly painted light. Damn it!!! Go walkabout some were else! Lights still look good, I just need a creature free paint area.. :tiphat:

Went digging through my old photo's and found my truck. I miss that beast but the bank account is a hole lot better now I am not spending $240.00 a week on gas :tup:.

Ordered some bolt on valve stems for my TPMS Bomb's. Looks like a few people really needed them. Who would have thought!!!! I made some stickers up that say RUN !!!!! in big letters to put on the side of these things. Might scale the size of the bomb down a little, 3inch tubing is a little beefy. :tiphat:

Joe, you and Kelly did a great job and the lights look incredible. They change the whole look of the car.
Here are a few more pictures after I gave the car a bath.

Here is a closeup so you can see the difference between the black housing and the 40th gray turn signal shroud. The projector shroud got the same treatment.

Awesome Z owner Joel AKA Lunar-Eclipse.....:driving:

Kellyefields engine is done. We added fluids tonight, tighten down everything, installed the exhaust and fired it up. No Dash lights, running smooth at 1000rpms, warmed up and dropped to 700rpms.

He is gonna get the LEDs all wired up and should be on the road Sunday:happydance: New Engine Start Up - YouTube
