Trust me, if it stops working you'll have so much blue smoke you will know something is seriously wrong. I was installing a boost controller and I unplugged it for the very reason you guys did. The car idled about a minute and in that minute it took about 30 mins of driving to get the smoke out of the exhaust.

I literally blanketed a 4 lane road for a couple minutes till it all burned off. lol.

If you look at the pump specs:

Exa-Pump®

You can see that it is rated to move up to 3 gallons of oil per minute. This is essentially an overkill for this set-up, but this is by far the best pump you can get for this application. Because the pump is moving a small fraction of it's maximum capacity (especially at idle), it will naturally make more noise. There is just not enough oil to fill the gear housing and silence the pump.

There is nothing to worry about, the pump is working fine.

Yeah, and these "performance" parts go to crap all the time where my old mans cars have ran to 300,000 on OEM Pontiac injectors. Not fair.

Anybody want to buy a set of ID1000's with one most likely junk for $350? Only used for 10K miles. :icon14:

Did you ever talk to ID about them? Could probably market them to the four cylinder crowd pretty easily.

I did call ID. They will replace any bad injector for $85. I just don't even want to deal with these.

Lol really? 85$? Like why the charge.

Injectors that have E85 ran through them should be taken out yearly and cleaned. The E85 is very corrosive. Also, make sure those injectors are E85 compatible. Some are and some are not.

Doesn't make sense.

If the injectors are designed to run E85 then why does it need to be cleaned so often? If your fuel system doesn't have the equipment to support E85, you shouldn't be running E85 anyways because of it being corrosive.

does anyone else notice the cooling fans coming on at 75% duty cycle at around 180 degrees on the base tune? seems a little excessive to me...

Probably something added by Vince. My tuner has it full on at anything above 100degC. Up to that its a gradient. I prefer it that way but then again I live in Texas

jlo370z 04-30-2014 09:20 PM

my car has yet to go over 180 degrees since adding the oil cooler, that is except for when it was on the dyno

That's exactly why I wanted the GReddy thermostat plate. Cold oil is just as bad if not worse than hot.

yea i drove it today. seems impossible to get the oil or the coolant over 180 degrees lol. i picked up a thermostat for the oil so that should help, but seems the coolant stays very cool as well. just noticed the fans running a lot, was just seeing if everyone else had the same thing going on.

jwick 04-30-2014 09:25 PM

It's a nice function if you are at the track. Park the car and crank the ac on high. That'll trigger full fan too and cool the car off quicker.
