Back to the blue smoke issue... what's was the deal guys...?

Lol, will do. Been out of the country for 2 weeks, just got back in. Got to do some work in brazil for the cup...was fun, kids were terrified, back to life as usual....just took a romp around town to get my tank of e85 moved around. May do a quick vid on my way home after work of that. Still flawless my friends!

Dunno what the "blue smoke" is, sounds isolated to me. I had some smoke when I first drove it home, believe it was just burnoff from all the shiny new exhaust bits....not a single puff of smoke since. All I can say, but everything is goddamn perfect. Not a leak, squeak, sound, hesitation, smoke or anything to note since install. All the power is still there and engine is doing just fine. Torque and everything, its been six months, not a single issue.

The car is at SpecialtyZ for the new CSF radiator and some hi-flow cats. Seb inspected the turbo outlets and the intake piping and sees no signs of oil residue. So it sounds like the turbo seals are good. Still not sure if I may have a crank breather or PCV issue.

Seb brought the car by the shop yesterday and we road tested it together. No signs of anymore smoke. He will fill you in on the details of his work. One thing to add though, you are going to love this new radiator setup!

Happy 4th of July to everyone!

Thanks, Tony

Great question! We are working on it over the next few weeks and hope to be able to share some pictures, pricing and availability once it is finalized. We will do our best to keep it as affordable as we can.

Thanks, Tony

Would there be tow as well? Hoping this would be available to G37.

Most excellent! Look forward to hearing about it. Did you like the new wheels?

Dang it! I am going to have to buy more car parts soon.

Today is my six month anniversary of picking my up car up from SpecialtyZ. All I can say is the car has and is performing flawlessly after about 10K. My plans are to head back to SZ this fall and get the Fast 500 fuel system installed, another tune including one for race fuel and possibly a CSF radiator.

Also, for those of you that live where temps reach a 100* plus and oil temps are a concern, I can vouch for FI 34 row oil cooler. Over the last few weeks here in Kingman temps have been topping out at about 105* and earlier this week I was in Phoenix where the temps were 118*. Well, the oil temps according to the oem gauge range from 215* to 235* with the AC on high. Phoenix in rush hour traffic is brutal this time of year. Even at 118* at speed on the Fwy the temps would fall to 225 or so. Kinda of wild after letting the car cool down (not) for several hours the oil temps would still be over 180* at start up :eek:. I would definitely be getting a vented hood if I live in Phoenix.

Vented hood is on my list too. Probably Seibon TS. But haven't decided.

Yup, on most hot days when I get home from work I will raise the hood so that the engine can cool more efficiently and it is amazing how much heat is trapped under the hood.

I too can vouch for the FI 34 row and the CSF radiator setup. It has hit 100 degrees a few times in the area, mostly mid 90s, the car refuses to go past 210degrees in traffic, spirited driving and short, stop-and-go pulls(0-100).

Let's put it this way. My car has lower temperatures than it did STOCK, brand new, right of the show room floor. My car is a 2012, so the guys at FI can work with that joke of an oil cooler(the Nissan one) system and its goofy pipes. Temperature is not an issue.

I do have a vented hood coming in this next week, but it is mere aesthetics...I know for a fact that my car does not really need it. If I tracked it constantly, it still wouldn't be much of an issue.

Happpy 4th gents! Stay safe out there!

Which hood did you go with?

Aerojacket/Fly1 SS hood. I like the idea of vents at the apex of the hood, an almost OEM look and local small business. Did a full NISMO conversion a month back, I should post pics, but life has been too fun lately haha!

Have new wheels, tires coming in as well. Still shopping for a healthy, used longblock for building up. Looking to push 13ish psi by end of summer or once i get that block to seb's doorstep...lol.

I can report to you now that the CSF Triple pass is showing some amazing gains on my N/A Z. Temps were in the 225-230* range just driving around town, never going above 5K rpm. Now with the triple pass radiator temps stay around 180-195*. This is in 105* Arizona ambient temps. Also when coasting down a hill or any kind of letting off the gas the temps drops very quickly. As an added bonus the A/C is ridiculously cold now...45* to be exact lol

by the way, this further proves the OEM 12+ oil cooler is completely useless. Oil temps have not dropped at all. You would think a 30*F reduction in coolant temp would affect it but nope. FI oil cooler goes on Monday!

Pics or links to hood specifics? I like those things too!

NM, I think I found it here.

That's great news. I think of the '12+ "oil cooler" more as a temp stabilizer than cooler. Entirely too small a heat exchanging surface area to really cool it effectively.

*Is waiting for Tony to post the dyno results from this morning*

Lots of nail biting!

I've got the F.I. 34 row thermostatic oil cooler. Super easy install with perfect directions.

... just missing the turbo system.

Oh snap!!!! If I'm connecting properly, the full update is going to blow minds...yet again.

This must have been the smuggled 93 octane!

The first ever dyno of a FT TT car on 93octane?...minds will be blown. Please keep the torque down Tony, lord knows what it may do?!?!

Seb don't mess around, god only knows how many pulls he ran, I know he did a hell of a job on my tune, hours on top of hours, pulls on pulls....Arrvaxx, the wait is well worth it my friend. Welcome to the club!

Unless Tony fell over a barrel that happened to be stored in the dyno room it was 91 octane.

And thanks!!!

Maybe, the mystery remains unsolved!

The excitement is still there!

BTW faceglide I hate you and your E85! I agonized over if I should go E85. In the end I chickened out. I plan on doing a lot of driving to events and track days around the country and was just too nervous that it would be too hard to find when I needed it most. And since the Z doesn't have much room for luggage, let alone a 5 gallon spare can of gas, I went conventional. ...although I really took a hard look at if I -really- needed the woman in the passenger seat. I mean hey, that is 100lbs of gas I could store right there! :D

sub'd for results...welcome to the boosted club! you're going to love it

Yahoo...Seb told me I needed to be patient as things would only get better. You guys are fricken awesome! Some times it's good to be first in line and then sometimes it's good to wait....and some times it's good to do both!!!!! Excited for the details....

Yeah, it just made sense for me. We have a ton of stations in the SF bay area, alot more than the map. I also work for the county which allows me to fill up at the service station at my work location.

It sure is nice having great fuel...best place to live, worst fuel known to man(91octane at obsene rates), luckily e85 has huge backing here! I am really excited to hear what 93 can do with this kit and Seb's tuning acuity....someday!

We tuned with 91 & 100 today, no 93! For the record, we have already tuned a 93 octane car...mfeinst. In addition, RDZ, Forged Performance and JMS Racing have also tuned a 93 octane car. NO ONE, including us have done it with the FAST fuel system...yet!

Details will come with the dyno charts but as a teaser, we eclipsed 600 RWH on 100 octane today.

Thanks, Tony

I want one!

Or that......pfft. There went my dreams 93 octane supremacy!

You are going to need a FAST 1085+ system soon enough my friend!

Grats Arrvaxx...sounds like you have a monster in your hands, welcome to the 600 club my friend!

Wheres the X kits :(

Or a G in general? Last I heard it was Sept before the first install happens on a G and that could take until Nov/Dec to complete.

Congrats on the numbers! What turbos on this car?

Also, I could have sworn my car was tuned with the Fast Fuel system! Do you mean no one has tuned 93 octane + FF system?

Yes, your car is tuned with the FAST-Fuel System. The point I was making is that we have not tuned with 93 octane and the FAST-Fuel System.

The car yesterday has GT2860RS Turbochargers on it.

Thanks, Tony

That is the plan. We will do our best to incorporate a two hook in the OEM location.

Thanks, Tony

Are you on the G forum, there is a thread for these, Lance is looking for cars

Althought I don't visit it often, that's where the information came from. Unfortunately I'm already boosted.

Ah just saw your sig, Funny I spend more time over here too :tiphat:.

More performance talk here :)
