Yes they are Marcus. There was a member from Ottawa that had R/T Tuning tune his Stillen SC. He said it was night and day difference. They also have a good working relationship with Stillen. It might be worth the drive for you.

Ok thank you im going to look into it,how long did it take you from toronto

Between 7.5 - 8 hours.

Thats not bad

Oh i forgot to ask,do i need a passport to cross over

Yes, or an "enhanced" drivers license.

Ok

Pm sent to r/t tunning,look like im going for a drive soon:driving:

A tune is key even if you only do 3-4+ bolt-ons you should still get it tuned, it will run much better/smoother.

Vince will take care of you:tup:

Here's a video I made of it on the dyno,

BEAST! :yum:

:iagree: :tup:



I bet the drive home was a lot of fun :driving::tup:

Question for you guys (sorry for the thread hijack Galeboost)...If I got a Fast Intentions exhaust is that cause for a tuning?

:iagree: That is exactly what I was thinking...7.5 to 8 hours in a boosted Z. :woot:

:tup: is somebody there directing your actions in the car? like when to accelerate, back off, increase etc?

exhaust or intake by itself: probably not that critical to get it tuned, but a tune will still provide a little benefit (at this point, cost is > benefit)

exhaust + intake: more critical since a tune is likely to provide decent benefits (cost is closer to evening out for the benefits)

exhaust + intake + more bolt-ons: definitely get a tune :tup: (benefit > cost)

From my experience, the shop guys typically run the dyno for you. I've only seen one guy dyno his own car, but he was the shop owner.

The dyno/tuning master is the one running through the gears, and running the dyno, and computer at the same time. I wouldn't dare try without taking a few courses first.

:tup: I am learning as you guys go! LOL thanks for training me! :tiphat:

I try it pretty often on the street, but there are a few problems without the dyno part. I never have enough cable length to keep the computer connected, and I usually run out of asphalt or hit a stop light before I can redline 5th gear :icon17:

Thats when our suppose to take lots of pic and videos right :tup:

:icon18:

A short video from the ride home. I was taking it very easy. I wanted to make sure we got home without issue. Anyways, you get to hear cool turbo type noises. :p

At my local shop, I was able to operate the vehicle while it was tuned. Done it a few times, I just had to sign my life away.

Are you able to PM me about your gauges Gale? I've yet to do anything with mine and my build. I just want to see what I'm getting into.

What do you need to know? I'm more than happy to help.

I believe Gale stated that it was easier installing his BP kit than his gauges.

The triple gauges, yes. I found the Boosted performance turbo kit easier to install than the dash triple gauges. Not that installing the gauges is hard, you just follow the service manual, the BP kit is easier.

Do I need to plug it into it's own hardware, is it a DIY?, How much does something lik tthis run replacing 3 gauges. Just some basic info

The factory triple gauges are totally removed. You can remove the dash to do it properly, or destroy the gauges like shown in one of the triple gauge DIY's found on the forum. I removed the dash. You need to use any method you can think of to install new gauges in their place and have them look good. Check the DIY for ideas. The DIY didn't help me because of the depth of the Defi gauges. You need a good power source for the gauges, battery, add a fuse, etc. you need to use the sending units that come with the new gauges. Cost? No idea, probably book time +++. 52mm fit best.

We pulled mine out and left them sitting in the cups. 52mm ProSport Halo's.. Works fine until some one hits you with there car. It was funny to watch them fly around the dash. Working on a way to secure them from the top so you can remove them individually if needed. Maybe simple as a zip tie's.


:tiphat:

god that sound vid clip is soooo good.... i wish my z made that sound :(

Oh hell yeah!!! Never gets old man :driving:

I am going to wear out my BOV by the end of the summer from accelerating and then slowing down, then accelerating again. Over and over. Just sounds soooo good! haha.

I do notice with your dual BOV's your blow-off is much quicker than mine, makes sense but you can definitely hear the difference.

What psi springs are you guys stuffing in your BOV's btw?

Sounds fantastic.

:icon18::tup: love it!!! :p

If I remember correctly its -10psi. I would have to double check the paper work to be sure.

:tup: my intial color choice was PW. Ended up w BC. I have decided I love this color. :tup: it has become my second fave color thanks to you and Kenchan. :yum:

That is all.
