Thank you guys. Hopefully it will be completed soon!

Robert_K 09-24-2012 11:01 AM

Just got off the phone with PowerFab... Car is running strong other than fuel. Making 500ish on only 10 pounds of boost. Waiting on delivery of the twin pumps.

Robert_K 10-07-2012 06:42 AM

Talked to PowerFab yesterday. Twin pump was going in this weekend and back onto the dyno Monday afternoon. Hopefully this will solve the pressure drop and we can make some real power! We'll see what this week brings.

Tein Tie Rods, Nissan Rear Sub Axle and CJM Twin Walbro Fuel pumps...

They're basically just like the stock links, just more room to adjust and better quality. I was doing the same thing you are with my 350, replacing all the worn out suspension parts. I have almost every bushing for the 350 at the shop still, all Whiteline (dabest), let me know if your interested. Never got around to installing them.

Robert_K 10-19-2012 08:43 AM

So hopefully the last of the fittings for the fuel pumps/basket arrive today. Also hoping it gets onto the dyno and we can start seeing some dyno numbers. Been a LONG journey and ready to come home to a finished Z!!!

Oh I also picked up a set of SPL Traction links as well last week. :D

Robert_K 10-23-2012 05:16 AM

Fuel pumps are in!

Car was back on the dyno for some fuel pressure checks and its holding fuel pressure. I haven't received how much boost as been run or any dyno results. I waiting for the return of my Cosworth intake manifold (Thursday) and hopefully I have priority to get finished tuning. Last known results were 480-500whp at 8-10psi on 93 pump. As always I'll get the thread updated.

Robert_K 10-30-2012 11:18 AM

Well just received an email that my Z is on the dyno! Can't wait for the results!

Good day in Houston to get some numbers, low humidity and decent temps! Goodluck!

What kind of dyno does PF have again?

Good luck today! Keep us posted

Spent most of the time building cylinder to cylinder compensation table reworking the trim tables with the manifold change. Fueling is tuned up to 13psi now with some timing added power will start to come up tomorrow.
PF has a DynoJet dyno.

How much boost do you plan on pushing?

I'm just going to pull some numbers out of my :icon23:... 627whp at 18psi?

Plan is 16-18 (spike 20)psi on 93 pump and the same, maybe more, on race.

Shouldn't have a problem with 550+ on pump. Previous known numbers were 480-500 at 8-10psi on 93 pump.

Back in my VQ35 days, we made a tad over 600whp on 17psi with a GReddy kit.

600whp was my original goal. 550 is my new one with 600 making me REALLY happy. LOL :driving:

O&G 10-31-2012 09:04 AM

You should get 550 easy. Did you upgrade your turbos as well? I forgot, sorry ;)

Nope... kept the Disco Potatoes. :tup: I didn't sleeve the block so I felt no need to upgrade.

Robert_K 11-01-2012 10:33 AM

via PowerFab; "Car is at 14psi but I am having trouble keeping the boost stable. If i cant get it to behave today im going to have to adjust the wastegate tension to make it hold more boost."

Everytime I get one step forward with my car it takes two steps back. Should've bought the CTS-V. fml...

No "real" dyno numbers as they are just trying to tune. But I did ask and Jeremy thought he saw mid 500's at one point.

98intrigue 11-01-2012 10:55 AM

Hopefully it's an easy adjustment with the wastegate or Haltech.

Robert_K 11-01-2012 11:07 AM

I'm sure it is. Just frustrating.

O&G 11-01-2012 11:22 AM

wut kind of boost controler?

O&G 11-01-2012 12:18 PM

OK... Just finished talking to Bryan... Tightening the wastegates helped hold boost. Car is making 530whp @ 14psi with little timing on 93 pump. Pump tune should be finished today and around 18-19psi. Power is very smooth. Dyno graph and video coming soon once pump gas tune finished. After that... Shell URT Unleaded Race Gas tuning....

Boost_lee 11-01-2012 01:58 PM

nice!

O&G 11-01-2012 02:31 PM

Read your FB post, gratz man!

Robert_K 11-01-2012 09:04 PM

Woke up to this email.

Car finished out at 551whp/558wtq peaking at 18psi in the midrange and dropping to 16.5-17.
