your fuel door was open

Sounds means as hell though

Wow, was that no catback and just downpipes? Congrats on the built motor!

I used a new oil pump, I don't believe it was a Nismo pump, but I also wasn't aware they were different. I would say I spent about $3k on the engine parts listed but I did get them at vendor cost as JTran is like a brother to me. No labor cost as I did most of the work myself. The parts I used in my build are listed on the first page of my journal. I will be upgrading to 1500 or 2k ID jectors from my current 850's for E85 in the future, new HKS plugs and either the GTR twin pump setup or surge tank setup with another Aeromotive 340lph pump. Still a few things to figure out in the fuel department. Ill also be steping up to a 3.5 single exit exhaust. Main focus rite now is engine break in and fabrication. After that Ill work on pushing it with the rite fuel setup and tune. Ill also be running the JWT flywheel w/ ACT pressure plate I had with an upgraded unsprung disc, forgot which stage it is but it claims to have 600ft.lbs. holding capacity. I will also be using braided vacuum lines this go around. Trying to cover every detail correctly, which us another reason the build has taken some time. Charles at CJM was working with me today on the fuel rails and the fuel sending lines Ill need as I have a majority of the return system completed already.

Any possibility of doing this on someone else's Z for the right price? :tup:

I bet 16 psi felt real good...only wish she could actually handle it all day

So I'm guessing you did not wrap your WG lines to protect them from exhaust temperatures?

I have a $600 shipment coming from SummitRacing just to handle heat management. I'm wrapping turbo manifold, downpipe, all wires, all hoses (WG and any fuel/brake lines in line of site of turbo of manifold piping) and of course bagging the turbo.

Good observation, I haent had the car on the street in forever. It lives at JTrAn Motosports in Houston. Yes that was strait header. We are using stock manifold (wraped) w/ V bands instead of the crappy triangle flanges that love to leak.... Can't have leaks pre turbo....that's a nono

Call JTrAn Motorsports if your in this part of the country... Can't go wrong with the people over there. Customer satisfaction is the number 1! Google Ron Bergenholtz, he blueprints and assembles all their motors...a/k/a the mad scientist... Dudes a legend in the import world.

Best investment imo...I did have everything wraped but that crappy vacuum line which wasnt touching a direct heat source

:iagree:

Johnny is top notch when it comes to customer service. I had a hicup with my tune and he completely retuned me no charge. Not to mention when I had to take the car in for service he pulled the tune and reloaded it no charge.

You can't go wrong bringing your build to him

You just confirmed my need to buy the extra thermo-tec to protect everything possible. A couple hundred bucks now is well worth protecting my $12k build...

Everything I've researched says wrap anything that is in direct line of site of a heat source, not just the things that might touch it. Sh!t gets real hot down there....:rofl2:

I know I probably won't be able to touch your built motor but we definitely need to line up an extended H-town drive once I've got the kit up and running. Be nice to know how the JTran single and BP twin scroll compare. I've also got a buddy with a GTM Garrett TT that will be more than willing to roll with us.

You talking about Ronito or Chris? Im defiantly game and your always welcome at the shop with all the other Houston Zs!

Was referring to Chuck. He and I are tackling my turbo install in the garage. Got a couple of things I need to sort out. Might stop by the party this afternoon for some advice

I'll be here all day and night, stop by and we will shoot the sh*t! I'm very excited to have someone with a BP kit here in Texas. Sasha does great work! You'll have to bring her by once you guys finish the install!
