She started to lean out on top so we had to leave it there, Once I get that issue solved there is no reason the car wont be at 540-550 RWHP. There was no knocking on this run except for the very end when it leaned out.

Hmmm....I don't have this run in the files you sent.

Hmm... ill have to look through them and see. To be honest I never had time to look over them yet.

Any update? Did you fix that lean out condition yet? Wishing you the best for 550HP.
I'm looking at this set up or SC set up soon.

Nice thread ...

I ran a dedicated 16GA wire to the fuel pump and to the best of my knowledge (judging from the change in AFRs throughout the range) I think I am in the clear. Its hard to really run it up into the high rpms because 5th at 7k you are moving pretty fast and I am more concerned about the road in front of me.

I am planning a road trip down to Cali and if the specialty Z guys have time I hope to have them throw it on their dyno and run their tests to make sure that everything is ok. And if its not ill throw more at the fueling system to get it up to par. I mean I guess I could throw it back on their dyno here in the city and see where I am at. Its more of a time issue than anything.

I can tell you that I have had 0 issues with my setup running this tune and kit. Drives like stock till the boost comes on and then its like a rocket.

I also plasti dipped my spoiler over the weekend. I think it came out pretty good and it hides that scratch from the garage door opener.

Aaaand the garage where I have spent soooo many hours working on this thing over the past year.

What kind of hook did you use to get your gauges out?

So I was out driving a couple weeks ago and found out that a 6 Puck ceramic clutch does not like to be launched in 2nd gear, lol. I fused it to the flywheel as you can see in the teardown pictures. Also it appears that southbend updated their clutch design because this new clutch is supposed to be the same one but looks entirely different.

This clutch had about 5-6,000 miles on it, lol. For those of you worried about boosting your Z, she can handle it lol.

Moral of the story, no more 2nd gear launches for me.

Is your turbo a journal or ball bearing out of curiosity?

And I also put some oil in her and fired it up!

I am going to piss some neighbors off, the girlfriend was 2 floors up showering and she heard the car start. Its not even that loud, just very deep. Its deep enough to rattle to lattice above the garage. I let it warm up fully while checking and finding a few oil leaks. Tightened up the fittings and they look to be good, but I would like to rev it to be sure (not something I can do in the garage, haha). I am going to finish wiring in the gauges (just have to wire in the modules, everything else is ran) and hook up the boost controller. Then I would like to take it for a burn before I put everything back on the front to make sure there are no further leaks.

Sooo excited. haha

Howd you get the aluminum insert out of the door? I haven't been able to get mine off.

Cant see any of the pictures :( however awesome build regardless!
