Such a nice day today, took a friend for a ride in the Z. Still on the slippy clutch, waiting on parts and time. Car is running great, finally found an air filter that fits and flows great, it's attached directly to the turbo, air flow is fantastic, spooling quicker and obtaining higher boost levels. Made a little video, car sounds insane!

Hahaha I think my Motorola RAZR from 2004 recorded equal video quality.

But really though... that thing sounds so nasty! You're making me really miss my single turbo

thanks budd, your screen name is fantastic.... DOIT!

I've been trying to time doing the clutch w/ putting engine mounts in and redoing some boost and exhaust piping. However, since I'm still waiting on parts and the shop is over run w/ engine builds, Texas2K12 and drift event vehicles, etc... it looks like I'll be putting it off for a few more weeks. The car is fine but when I turn the boost up to 10psi she will start to slip. Sooooooo I've decided I am going to save a bit more cash and build the bottom end as well. Johnny sourced me CP Pistons and some eagle rods for $1350.00, I wanted to go w/ the carrillo but Johnny mentioned these are much lighter and just as strong as Carrillo's Pro-SA Rods. Probably do Cosworth headgaskett and ARP L19 studs. I will wait to see if the JUN cams or JWT Cam Gears will be the way to go concerning the head! Hopefully I'll have it wrapped up before ZdayZ in May. I want a reliable 600whp and be able to sleep well at night, which is why I'm building the motor. Although, I believe the VQ37VHR has a very stout bottom end. Trying to get all parts here before months end.

Depending on what fuel pressure we are seeing, I mite be getting the CJM Twin Pump set-up as well. I'm already setup for a return system, just need to run lines.

Also, adding 2 more small meth jets just after the intercooler/prior to MAFS, GTM said they saw a 40whp increase due to the ECU keeping desired timing(tricking it).

Nice! Why twin pump instead of Aeromotive 340lph pump?

That's a much easier option, good call! Save some penny's too.

Pretty sure I am, my sister lives right next to the hotel so I might save some cash and crash there. It's coming up quick. I'll probably still have slippy clutch but it's still fun

I didn't know you were going, you still planning on coming down for Import Reactor as well? Should be a lot of fun too.

Boost_lee · 03-29-2012, 01:09 PM

Probably will only make nismo fiesta, when us reactor?

Yeah if you come that friday night, we could probably meet up. I get out of work at ten and work is like one minute away from that hotel. Really looking into boost for the future, just need to weigh my options
