Right. I put that crappy STS kit on my last Z at 1600 miles. If it doesn't kill my wallet, I may be sending the car to California to have some work done. New exhaust that is and maybe more....

What do mean 2k miles? are you talking about break in? I put my SC on my Nismo with 298 miles on it and I have more power than anybody else with this kit.lol

New Z is in the garage....The 2000 miles can't come quick enough

No more turbo for me....in a few days. Then maybe again at the end of the year on the new car.

Not really. They used the pipes that were sent. The one around the transmission he cut a piece off I think. To be honest they did a horrible job on the piping install and I had to get it fixed twice. It works now but the biggest pain in the *** is the fact you have to remove a part of the piping to change the oil filter. I would also suggest not using the supplied clips. I believe we changed them out to a Vclamp type.

Hey question, for the sts turbo kit. Did you have a shop fabricate the pipes for the 7at transmission? Thanks

Kit will be in my hands tomorrow...

order was placed jan.18th. So it 1 month 2 days. It will be shipping tomorrow. Sure glad someone had a melt down on them today on their vendor page. It lit a fire under their *** and got a response about an 1 hour ago saying it was waiting for the shipper.

thats been 2 months now. were they not in stock? whats going on?

Nope...still waiting. Just sent them a message to find out when it will be in...hoping by the 20th.

so guys the day has finally come and we put it all back together ! Engine started no problem and idles smooth as stock. Took it for a little test drive around the block and throttle response is great...

Yipe it is but works for me.

I'm a few hundred shy of 50k miles (TT'd at 22k miles), and my engine doesn't pushing 450 whp as often. For daily driving, it still doesn't see more than 5 PSI unless I'm at full throttle. I'd...

I am an engine builder. As you said the biggest thing is keeping the engine from sitting at a constant rpm too long. You do not need to worry about constantly keeping it loaded. Rings usually seat...

However, even on new engines keeping the engine at a constant rpm during the break in period will glaze over the cylinder walls and the rings will not fully seat.

I hope you're ready to hire a plastic surgeon...... .....to remove the smile off your face!:tup:

pm sent. go ahead and throw me on the list. #68! :driving:

350, but the guy is epic-ly dumb. ?v=_PlYlLaxV38

rofl. its funny but at the same time i wanna smash his head with a baseball bat.

HKS one step colder and NGK plugs that are also one step colder. HKS has the advantage. They help reduce temps which helps with pre detonation. Also has something to do with timing.

Anthony, I really think you maybe reacting a little unfairly. AkumaMotorsports has done everything possible to keep your car safe and when going through your installation there were many thing we...

Nope. Waiting on some new parts to come in. Definitely taking longer than expected, but better done right than quickly.

A lot of rich kids on this forum!!
