Looks very clean, just the way that other guy should have built it. Will intake temps be low enough though? IC looks kinda small.

it's small but thick (thats what she said) and he's not running much boost so the temps should be fine. The bank 1 Maf is also the IAT so with any OBD II software or the UpRev Cipher logger he can double check.

The intercooler is rated at 550hp. It will do...

The piping is done...With the new 3" intake piping being .25" to .5" bigger, the car won't even idle. Now I'm trying to scramble to find someone with an UpRev cable and find someone who will send me a base map tune. Cars & Coffee is looking doubtful :(

So you went back to the stock MAFS? I thought you had the UPREV MAFS installed. Anyway, Hope you get it straightened out really soon. Was I incorrect by saying that the quest for coolness was looking positive? Sorry of I jinxed things......:ugh2:

New 3" equal length, equal size piping...the way it should have been from the start!

The intercooler is SO much smaller than the Precision intercooler I had on, so we held off on installing the CSF radiator. I want to see how my coolant temps are now that there will be much more air getting through to the radiator. Good thing is if they aren't any better, I have the radiator sitting in my garage. If they get better, I'll have a brand new CSF radiator up for sale.

The stock MAFs are fine...but Lutz bridged the MAF signals in hopes it would fix their horrible intake piping design. So I believe it's an easy fix to put the wiring back to OEM

I had already planned on it. I'm hoping I can come down next weekend...we will see. The car is still sitting in my friend's garage since it won't idle due to the bigger piping. I'm still trying to get my hands on an UpRev cable so I can remap it.

I really like how that looks. I know you'll be so happy now. Waiting for retune.

esfourteen 08-19-2011 08:55 PM

looks awesome ryan, much better!

Armonster 08-19-2011 10:12 PM

Man that is one MEAN looking engine bay.

DIGItonium 08-20-2011 12:40 AM

Your current design is very refined and clean! Hope all goes well for you... must have videos!

christian370z 08-20-2011 01:41 AM

Those massive intakes look gnarly! I second the motion for copious video recording once the Z is fighting fit.

Mr.Squeeze 08-20-2011 08:49 AM

Good Job man with the pipes hope everthing else goes well for you.
