Til operating temps are reached......Cold start will always have a higher idle...Glad to report that after 2 days idle is back to normal.....Idk what happened...it appears to be a fluke that worked itself out...Double checked all the harnesses/cables..did a wiggle test and everything seems good. May have been the BPV...not sure as I still have the Stillen on
I will be trimming and putting the Turbosmart back.on...this is a personal preference as I don't care for the quality of the Stillen one. Once that's done I can get back to my tuning session with Seb .

Thank for all the input and help guys.

I still waiting on my tunner to send me a base map
Apparently Ecutek have made changes to the firmware since he last tunned my car so he's waiting for somthing from them
He's one of the UK main gtr turners so don't do the 370z platform regular
Hoping to get tune sorted asap

My first tuner was big into GTRs also and didn't know Zs, apparently they have nothing in common! He never had it close to the way Seb has it running.

Per the instructions, filter has to go on before you put the supercharger back in.

Top is correct and I'll add in that the filter will need to be slightly compressed to get it in place. It is a tight fit but it will go.

Top, any chance that a new intake filter can be done? I do remember seeing an installation that used a large pass through pipe that put the filter in front of the radiator. I will be exploring this in June when I get back to work on my Z. I am slammed right now and will be for months.

I will need to take the SC back off in order to get the volute clocked correctly so that will be a good time to explore another intake filter option.

Now that I go back and look at it you are correct, it threw me off because right above it, it show it in place when it talks about the frame. Sorry.

Yeah. You can do that. But when i went from that design to the current i picked up power. I also made a "Hydra" intake that i had StillenZ84 try for me but he said it didn't make any more power. It utilized the stock intake boot with a filter off the front like my initial design but i drilled 1" holes in the coupler around the sides of the intake clamping area and placed an array of small breather filters in there. I lost all my pics of it though since my phone took a digger.

Swiss370Z posted these pictures on what his shop did for him. Looks like one 90mm pipe would need to be fabricated.

Think this would be worthwhile doing?

Well, This is what i had on my car when i first made the kit in my garage. I did however have the flanges off the boot for the recirc and crankcase just plugged (like an idiot). If i would have thought about it earlier i would have put breather filters on there and let them also intake air which I think would have helped.

Im not saying to not try it. I try new things all the time and its the only way to make changes. Do I think you will make more power? not really...

Hey TopgunZ, I DM'd you on monday about this kit but haven't heard back from you at all. Definitely wanna look into getting this for my Z. Looks like a very well put together kit. Lots of good info reading through this thread.
