Time For More BOOST!!!
 

Fellow Gearheads;

The time has come... for more BOOST! Looks like right after Christmas I will be placing the order to start building my long block. Kyle over at Import Parts Pro in Spring will be doing the engine assembly. The Z will be headed to PowerFab off of 1960 after the first of the year for installation and tuning. Hopefully I'll be seeing 600+whp by March. Below you can find "The List." Hope everyone is doing well and has a GREAT Christmas!

Nice build!! Lol ur car is gone for some surgery!

Thanks. Forgot to mention that Cosworth has phased out their 8.8, 96mm pistons. So I opted for the CP's instead.

Did you blow it up or just wanted more boost?

No the engine didn't blow. Just want "More POWER!" LOL

Still one of the cleanest Z's in town! MOAR POWA!!!!!

Thanks!

Nice. Hopefully, you'll be back from Iraq when I am back from Afghanistan. I would like to see the beast in person.

New Haltech EMS was released; NEW Haltech 350Z Pro Plug-in – Complete ECU Replacement! – Dynosty

Haltech needs to get w/ their **** and release VQ37VHR unit already, cars been out for 3 yrs! Ugh!!!! Grats anyways! Cars going to run very well w/ that unit.

Thanks! Yeah, surprised there isn't more tuning options for the VQ37.

Because the VQ37 basically tunes itself, at least as long as the engine is within the ballpark of an NA stock block + heads. The stock ECU dynamically determines timing via feedback from a very sensitive knock detector (it will advance itself until just under the threshold of knock, or retard itself if knock appears), and has 2x wideband O2's + 2x MAFs running in realtime for self-regulation of A:F.

Really all there is for the tuner to do via UpRev for power is (1) Precisely calibrate the MAF voltage tables with a known-good high precision O2 sensor, because the MAF units have manufacturing variance and the stock voltage tables are only an approximation, and (2) Set custom A:F targets in a table based on RPM and fueling input. Given appropriately-calibrated MAF voltage tables the A:F values here are going to be followed very literally, so the only tradeoff here is that if you go a little *too* lean to try to pick up power, the ECU's going to back off your timing advance automatically to compensate for the slightly increased knock, which may come out worse than leaving it richer in the first place.

For boosted applications it becomes more necessary to screw with the K-fuel multiplier to get everything scaling in the correct range, and to set spark advance to a reasonable starting point so that the ECU doesn't have to learn the correct values "the hard way" via excessive boosted knock. But still, I think the bottom line is we don't see much ECU work for the VQ37 because the cases where it really matters are fewer than on past engines.

I think that's why the boys over @ GTM placed those tiny METH nozels slightly ahead of the MAFS on one of their builds. Kinda trick the ECU into keeping the desired timing. I think I'm going to try a similar setup.

So apparently the Greddy Racing Ti-C exhaust is discontinued as well. So I've opted for the Greddy RS exhaust. Same 70mm piping and looks like same canisters. Only different is the exhaust tips are not burnt titanium. Which, to be honest, I prefer.

Talked to PowerFab yesterday. Was told the following was ordered and the engine would be pulled this week.

~ Greddy Exhaust
~ Carbonetic clutch & flywheel
~ Quaife diff
~ CJM fuel return w/ rails
~ ID 1000cc injectors

RAWR, great choice for the fuel system, had the same on my treefifty!! I thought you had more done to the car but obviously your covering every aspect now. Great build, looking forward to seeing the finished product! You must of had a payday!!!

A lot has been done. But with the engine build upgrading.

You still rocking the Cosworth Intake Manifold, I was so jelly of you forever!

Of course! :tup:

beautiful!

Thanks!

Little update:

So the Greddy exhaust & Quaife made it in. Engine work has begun. Waiting for some pictures to be sent. I'll be ordering the following on Friday;

~ Nissan CD009 6sp transmission
~ IPP Chromoly Pivot Ball
~ Nismo Roller Bearing
~ Haltech Platinum 350Z/G35 Pro Plug-In
~ Haltech Dual Channel Wideband Controller
~ Haltech Boost Control Solenoid
~ Haltech Air Temp Sensor

Haltech or :gtfo2: good **** man! Wish I had a dumptruck full of cash like you!! This Z is going to be racecar! I'm jelly again damnit!!

Thanks. Go big or go home. :tiphat:

Engine swap complete!

Hopefully will be hearing back today on new wheels pricing and will be ordering.

Clue... ARKYM+ESS [VT2-650] Teaser - YouTube

More parts checked off the list!!! :D Ordered today...

~ CD009 6mt Transmission
~ Chromoly Pivot Ball for CD009 trans
~ IPP SS Clutch Line
~ Nismo Roller Bearing

Is that IPP's shop in the photo?

Nope. PowerFab.

Well I went with the HRE P43SC wheels in Satin Black. 19x9.5 & 19x11. HRE is going to select the offsets to make sure they clear my StopTechs. Looking to run a 255/30-19 & 305/30-19 tire. Any suggestions? Leaning toward the Michelin Pilot Super Sports.

Looks like I will be able to stuff a 265/30 & 305/30-19 into my Z's wheel wells. Here is an owner with same wheel sizes running a 275/30 & 305/30; MY350Z.COM Forums - View Single Post - Official Aggressive Wheels & Fat Tires Thread

Also through more research I'm gonna go with the Toyo R888 tires.

Nice! looking forward to seeing this finished!

Thanks! Updates on your build?

Waiting 3in exhaust from FI, I hope it gets here this coming week. I'm also thinking on not upgrading to the GTX series turbos and keep the GTRS. Use the money on a LSD instead.

What LSD? Smart move in my opinion. I went with the Quiafe. Had one in my Evo 8 and slapping myself for not doing it sooner on my Z. :shakes head:

Thinking about the Quaife as well or the OSGiken.

I went with the Quiafe cause I've used them before. Haven't done really any research on the OSGilken but have heard good reports. The Quiafe is more towards a street/road course gearhead.
