Critique my parts list...

ChaseZ · 11-30-2016, 09:00 AM

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?

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.

ChaseZ · 11-30-2016, 09:10 AM

Forgot GTR plugs (heat range 8 correct?)

Nithmo · 11-30-2016, 10:44 AM

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

BTW, I'm located in Edmonton

TBatt · 11-30-2016, 10:53 AM

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..

Sorry but I do not have first hand experience with the Zeitronix.

The AEM Failsafe is super easy to install and the logging feature is really nice when a problem comes up such as a bad fuel pump. I know this because it happened with me. At first he AF was ok and then slowly started going leaner and because I had proof of the problem Stillen replaced the faulty pump with no questions asked. The interface is a USB cable that I have coiled up in the glove box. It comes with a Bosch WB sensor and bung. When I had Fast Intentions make my CBE I had them install a WB bung for me. Worked out great. One other nice feature of the AEM gauge is that it is easily user programmed for what you want it to do. The failsafe feature lets you control whatever (from a beeper to a boost controller) with a programmable relay that you get to set the parameters to trigger it.

Thanks. I've read up now on the Failsafe and satisfied that's the way I'm going to go.

Now just to figure out if I'm going to make my own pod or go with Gale's. His is clearly OEM quality at a minimum, but need to figure out where my dollars are best being spent.

Gale's is beautiful but I felt the same way and made my own. For something small like a pillar pod it's pretty easy.... of course not nearly as fancy as Gale's.

I haven't attached dollar amounts to each line item on my list thus far and totalled it. Maybe I'm better off not doing that lol

Do you have any pics of yours?
