S14's 40th Anniversary 370z

esfourteen

Just a quick update, got a few parts in:

Quaife ATB LSD, going into a used 350z open diff with 3.5 final drive




PLX Wideband and Vac/Boost sensors and 2 of their new DM-6 multi-sensor touch gauges



These 2 gauges are temporary. I have some big plans for gauge setup in the Z, at first I thought about getting 3 gauges and sticking them in the stock location, but I gave it some more thought and since I would like to do data logging and have the ability to see more than 3 sensors at any given time without having gauges mounted everywhere I decided to do something custom.

I won't go into too many details yet but I'll be making use of the cubby, a 5-7" LCD, an ARM based PC (RaspberryPi) and the serial protocol that these PLX sensors have graciously documented. That won't happen for another 1-2 months however as I am waiting on delivery of the Raspberry.

Waiting to hear back from Sam about a price on upgrading my soon-to-be-shipped stage 1 kit to the new GTX2863r turbos, in the short term with low boost the GTX doesn't offer much advantages over the old GT2860r, but if I decided to build the block in the future they would be fully capable of over 600whp with incredible spool, looking at the compressor graphs they have amazing flow at 18psi+

Did you end up upgrading the turbos? Are you keeping the .64 exh housing from the stage 1 or swapping for a bigger .86? If those turbos are as good as we believe a .64 might give you more top end than a regular stage2 with GT28s and they should spool crazy fast!
Good luck!

..I am also on the waiting list for the raspberry
