John's Sweet NA build

Navyboy916 · 10-26-2012, 03:59 AM

I have had my car for just about a year and have done alot of upgrades already so I figured I would start this thread.

Navyboy916 · 10-26-2012, 04:14 AM

My current mods are the Stillen gen 3 intakes, Berk HFC's, M370 intake manifold, ARK exhaust, Stillen headers, Uprev Tune, stillen grounding kit,jdm taillights, and BC coilovers

I have turned to the direction of an all NA setup. I purchased the JUN exhaust cams, I have just ordered the stage one GTM valve train to compliment the new cams. I am installed HKS spark plugs, Stillen Transmission cooler, and NST underdrive and alternator pulley kit.

Nice John!

My Z is at Nissan Guam right now having the cams installed. Due to having to wait for the valve train to get here to Guam it is taking a little longer then expected which is fine as long as it is done right. I try to take pics of the progress as it happens.

Thanks

Very nice build!

Navyboy916 · 10-26-2012, 04:19 PM

Thanks it's a slow process here on Guam having to wait for the parts coming from the states. I know after this build I will probably have to start thinking about the transmission so that will be my next venture after the cams.

9,000 rpm vq! she'll be a screamer!

Very cool! Love looking at the engine tear-down pictures.

binary0x01 · 10-26-2012, 06:19 PM

That's one cool build. I'm sticking with NA myself.

How's the M370 performing?

Navyboy916 · 10-26-2012, 06:24 PM

The manifold is great I did see a gain in the mid range area. But when I installed it the car went extremely rich so I had to have two sets of tunes done to bring the a/f back to where it's suppose to be. The install was so easy and just really brought the car out of its shell.

binary0x01 · 10-26-2012, 06:42 PM

Cool man.

Thanks for letting me know. I'll definitely do a tune I'll have it installed.

What's a typical install time for it? (for a pro mechanic) like 2-3hrs?

Navyboy916 · 10-26-2012, 06:43 PM

Maybe 2 hrs and that's a maybe

Sweet, that sounds perfect.
