Project Nismo Turbo build

Oh I forgot, there is another trick for setting the fuel pressure off just priming when alone. I have done this a couple times. I just set my cell phone up to record a video of the pressure gauge when im priming it. Then I can see what it was and take a stab at an adjustment and within a minute or two youll have it dialed in.

The ECUtec app did have the fuel pump off/on button so I turned the pump on for about 10 minutes and inspected all the fittings. Turned out all good. So moving on now.

Good news.

+1 Good news indeed and congratulations on your progress so far.

Installed the camber arms, toe arms and sway bar end links.

Made a quick aluminum bracket to mount the MAC boost solenoid. Love a factory look!

Any more progress?

We started it up this past Sunday. Runs terrible with zero remapping done. But I will be bringing it to Admin Tuning in Houston next week for the tune! Trying to get the appointment rescheduled as Moncef can't make our original appointment for Monday, due to personal issues.

We are working on putting the front end back together this weekend. Stopped to take my headlights apart and paint the chrome. Have them back together now and at a shop getting ceramic coated.

Gray Goose · 10-14-2019, 02:45 PM

Got the headlights back from Cleaner Image freshly ceramic coated. Just have to install them, put the fascia on, and load the Z up tonight.

Leaving for Admin Tuning at 04:00 tomorrow!

If someone can tell me how, I will put the video in a pop up box on the post. I can't figure it out for some reason

Going to need some clutch recommendations as well. The clutch kept letting go while dynoing. We could have made more power as we are on a very conservative tune. Just kept slipping the clutch.

soill370z · 10-16-2019, 12:20 PM

What clutch is in it?

I'll second that. He guided me to the southbend stage 3 for my turbo setup, and I see that on your OP - did you have that installed at the time of the dyno?
