Critique my parts list...
 
Amended list:

Stillen SC, impeller upgrade and 9psi pulley
FrozenBoost 101 Intercooler
Bosch 850cc injectors
K&N filter, right on the blower
Greddy FV BOV
Relocate MAF to charge pipe
Speed density tuning
Walbro 485 pump
CJM hat and 10mm return kit
GTR Plugs
AMS Alpha GTR 4 bar MAP sensor
AEM AIT sensor

OS Giken 1.5
Whiteline Diff bushing
SouthBend Stage 3 Street clutch and flywheel (quiet one)
CSC Elminator

AEM Failsafe Boost/AFR Gauge

Upgrade oil cooler to 34 row (will try it out first)

Ecutek reflash

Possibly custom charge pipe with long enough Y to put MAF right at each TB. Will see how it goes.

Clutch/flywheel/csc. Also, those gears may be a bit much for a boosted Z. Traction will be an issue. The CJM oil pan is a nice piece. Maybe one of the ATI dampers.

ChaseZ 11-30-2016 09:09 AM

Yeah I'm struggling with the gears if it is a good idea or not. Going to run a 325/35 drag radial for some bite but don't know if it will be enough.

I'm in denial about the clutch/CSC lol... I only have like 7k on the car so hoping to get away with it for a little while. Fingers crossed

Diff bushing should be on the list

Aren't those dampers for dry sump setups?

ChaseZ 11-30-2016 09:10 AM

Forgot GTR plugs (heat range 8 correct?)

ATI makes a stock replacement pulley. If you're DRs all the time, gears may be ok. If you plan on running street tires, it may be too much. You need a new clutch, csc, etc. And you need it installed before the SC, so you can break in the clutch before you're dyno tuning the car. Correct on GTR plugs.

That could be a problem. The entire build will be part of a winter teardown, and winter here means snow so pretty hard to break a clutch in. I'll also be e-tuned by Seb until he comes up here mid summer, then he can tweak it on the dyno.

Then you need to take it easy until the break in is done. Which is a tall order when you're boosting the car. Drive like a grandma on the base map while you break it in, then get dyno tuned and beat on it to your heart's content.

Chase, what was your reasoning for going SC instead of Turbo/Twin Turbo? Just curious.

BTW, I'm located in Edmonton :D

AEM boost and AF gauge.

Wideband Failsafe Gauge | AEM

It will log the data while you drive. It has a two hour continuous storage buffer that you can down load to your laptop and plot the data out. Works great!

Going to have to granny drive while Seb e-tunes it anyhow for the first while. And yes, it's going to suck BAD!

Cost mostly. If money was no object I'd have probably went with a set of twin screw twins, but, well it is a factor. A big one. Plus I see the SC as easily daily drivable. Not that I wouldn't DD a couple hair dryers too of course.

Very cool. It was one I'd glanced at but didn't realize it did all the logging too. Not like I'm going to have my laptop plugged in all the time so that's a real nice feature. Does it need a separate controller or anything?

ChaseZ 11-30-2016 12:09 PM

How does the AEM Failsafe compare to Zeitronix ZE-2 Multi gauge (controller)

Any insight?

They end up only $20 apart..

TopgunZ 11-30-2016 12:27 PM

That spectre 8161 wont fit. I already tried. You do know the A/A comes with a filter right? What is the reason for the 8161?

Actually I didn't. Does it fit right onto the blower?

Senna-F1 11-30-2016 12:52 PM

Doesn't a Stillen SC + A2A put you in the same ballpark as a Boosted Performance turbo kit that doesn't need to be "fixed" ?

Yes sir, it does.
