John, I'm not sure how to post pictures on here but there are pictures if you go to the Forced Induction thread and click on the Boosted Perofrmance thread. That kit does delete the cats/test pipes, so the stock or after market headers bolt up to exactly where the stock cats would be up to the turbo kit. If you could look into that for me that would be great. Thanks

They work best with a tuned plenum... thus concealing them.

I don't see how you could get ITB's on this car without ditching VVEL (and possibly DBW) anyway.

Jordo, just PM John@Z1 for info. He is the tuner.

Awesome gains and set up Mike ! How about an ignition amplifier ? I don't think anyone has actually tried one yet.

See if Sasha is willing to weld DE flanges to his kit.

Im sure you could have a shop cut off the flanges and weld DE ones on to mate with the headers

That's a good point, but from a consumer (mine) standpoint it sucks. Because what they are doing tune-wise at Z1, benefits me about none in South Florida, or almost anywhere that isn't within a reasonable driving distance.

Sure, there are always email tunes (and I am a huge fan of those), but you'll find most people don't like going that route. So if a shop 600-1000 miles away from Z1 offers tuning that is comparable, I don't see that taking a huge chunk (if any) of their customer base as the majority of the people they tune will be "local" to them.

Coming from a WRX, the idea of people not sharing setups or tuning information on this forum and other Z sites was a hard pill for me to swallow. You can log on to any WRX/STI forum right now, post your map/logs and have professional/knowledgeable tuners offer advice how how and where to clean it up. Make the change, log it and upload your results and the same people will have absolutely NO problems offering their help.

There's no real secert to this. Forget all the VVEL talk. It's was just talk. The headers themselves make most of the raw HP. But like any other tune there is a little more that can be brought out.

I must say I do agree with the part that it sucks Z1 is so far away from us here in Miami :(

daisuke149 11-20-2012 04:48 PM

for those complaining that they arent sharing...

once other tuners start getting into vvel tuning im sure more people will share.

But as of now, not many are doing it. I wouldnt go to a shop in Miami and say, hey the guys at z1 are messing with this and hey said they did this kinda stuff. can you do it too? I'd rather wait till they start getting experience with it on their own or not do VVEL tuning there. but maybe thats just me

only an hand full of people is actualy helping others with their tune,

it will never be even close to what the EVO/STI/WRX forum are.
the 350z/370z is a very closed community and no one like to share their tune ...

Basically if you dont pay, you arent getting **** and dont expect others owner to help you much with that kind of stuff ....

sad but true
