3/20/14 Update
 

Lots of stuff completed today. Hotside piping, boost pipe, rear exhaust section, fuel system wrapped and adjusted, rims on, gauges wired up.

Jtran chose to run the wastegate off the turbo exhaust housing for better control and placement.

Things to do still:
finish exhaust tomorrow, turbo coolant plumbing, coupler clamps and hardware, install electronic boost controller (I'll be running wastegate boost for break in), break in tune, order center caps for rims, finish wrapping the wastegate piping, paint and finish roll bar installation with harness loops and then drive for 500 miles and change out fluid.

Should be driving tomorrow! We started her today to check for leaks, etc...

After we get the E85 situated I'll push her for the big numbers!

Shitty cell phone pics for now:

Mr. Bergenholtz will be dialing in my suspension for maximum traction, no one better than him to do it with his experience in racing!

Nice!

Those wheels :yum:

Nice updates!

What size are the front R-S3's? I'm debating on getting these for mine, but I'm a bit weary if I get stuck in the rain...I hear they aren't too good

245/35/19, I won't be doing any driving in the rain hopefully! lol

How much for a tune at jtranz? I'm just trying to get a ball park figure on cost for a cbe (self install) and tune.

$680 and it will take a hour or so. I would hold off until you have more mods like test pipes, intakes, etc.. unless you already do.

ohh Yeah, I'm going to wait of it's going to be that much. Thank you much good sir(s).

First weekend driving the Z! It was awesome! http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/03/24/yju6ate4.jpghttp://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/03/24/apytu8yq.jpg

Awesome, just flippin awesome!

Dude!!!

When did y'all get the break-in tune knocked out? PSI level? How many miles until bigboy boost level?

Still got 400 miles lol...no boost rite now. Its hard not to. The boost response is amazing compared to The last setup. Vbands ftw. The car sounds amazing. No muffler dumped with a diesel resonator. Shotgun blast all day on downshifts. Clutch is amazing. Very pleased! Still a lot of minor things 2 get situated. We going to break 700 easy. Motor already sealing up. Started a -4 a idle... Now a -10.4 @ idle. :) still need 2 figure ot my fuel system a bit more. Going to have to adjust the return system a bit more.

Just read FI is pushing 660 whp on a stock block. Cant wait 2 c how long that last. Not hating on their work its amazing and their products are top notch but come on... Dont set people up for failure. I come from the world of better 2 be safe than sorry. Dont be S&R and try to sell people on dyno numbers. No need for them 2 do that. Their products sell themselves.

Yeah I follow that thread too. I agree fully. Power is awesome but those numbers on a stock block are way over my comfort level. I truly hope they hold together for a long time as it'll change my ultimate goals. All those guys are redefining the FI landscape for our platform.

I can't wait to check out your car now that its alive again. I've got the bycard Saturday since Jennifer has to work so I might stop by the shop if your around.

Ill be around and if not just hit up the cell brother!

Cool. Clutch will be broken in my then too so I can actually put the G through some paces for tge first time since the new tranny.

:bowrofl:

Most people out there would be find with 420/420 peak and that baby is just getting started. I have a feeling I'm going to feel so inadequate.:rofl2:

JTRAN wants 21psi on the street lol. Single =wtq all day. Ill be driving 400 miles when i get back in town tomorrow! Just need a bit mor injector and pump for our E85 goals. Ill be spending some dolllas on that this week. So pumped

sent from my Samsung Galaxy Note

Terrible....

I'm arroused..

ROFL, don't sell your Z homie!

Parts on order:

APR wing
New Greddy boost controller
Ron Bergenholtz front splitter
SPL front camber arms

I'm sure I'll have more next week to add :)

3.5 inch dumped exhaust w/ diesel resonator.

Sorry about the loud *** air compressor but you can get an idea.

I also have a new dyno graph laid over Ronnies GTX TT that is ridiculous, but JTran has asked me not to share yet. We will be maxing out the injectors next week on E85, my boost comes on atleast 2x's faster than his TT's, thats all I can give away, my gues is he will be building his motor next week LOL!

What was wrong with the boost controller you had? I thought you were running the new Profec?

That just sounds evil.

Yesterday's efforts get everything fixed up?

Yes sir, thanks for your help good friend!

http://i251.photobucket.com/albums/g...ps626f8521.jpg

You are REALLY making me miss my car now...

Anytime! Now get those miles knocked out so we can see what numbers she puts up

Sounds wild man!! :tup:

:iagree:

How many more break-in miles to go?

80 more miles, then an E85 tune on these 850 cc jectors and one 340lph pump....should be impressive!

Yaw sensor removed, JTran turned off all my traction control, no more blip shifts, all heel toe action and the car feels amazing. Sure all my lights are on but the car feels like cable throttle now instead of Drive by wire.....***** amazing!

Miss u bro, you were my inspiration, should have just sent the car down here and let us build that motor! Although the Vipe is tite! I'll always consider you my 40th bro!

Blair Witch type video. OMG i'm dizzy now..

I love your build. You try out all these things and then the rest of us get to decide if it's a good idea afterwards:rofl2:

someones got to do it :)
