For those that are interested, I finally got the car back today :hyper::hyper:

 

Teaser pic, I have 80+ of the build in various stages which will be posted in due course

 

 

Still loads of odds and ends to sort out before it's on the road

Fantastic James great to see the car this evening, looking forward to see what it does on the dyno!

Very Impressive ! These are the new SP-90's (biggest turbo kit available for the 300zx) ?

 

Look forward to hearing your impressions on the power delivery after turning.

 

Car exterior looks great as well, what are those wheels ?

 

You need to post up your full spec list, you have done a LOT to that car and Im sure most dont realise just how much.

 

It is the sp-90 kit, will keep everyone infomed on how it goes. Can't wait! :nana2: The wheels are lightweight SSR's that I picked up on ebay for £350 ;) they were off a GTO of all things

One of the nicest looking Zeds out there :bow: and the engine aint too shabby either :p

Looking good mate,

Good to see they finished your driveway as well :)

Little Oli will be pleased :)

MOT passed this morning :)

I was thinking "wow i'll get one of those batteries for the V8 to save room and weight in the boot" until i saw how much one is for a "6 litre +" at £350 quid and 14.9 KG!

 

What would you do with the insurace now you removed the ABS???

 

JFYI some zeds came without ABS.

hi are your shocks still for sale? cheers

JFYI some zeds came without ABS.

 

And that's exactly what I'm telling the insurance, using the non ABS setup. I managed to find a non-ABS master cylinder which are quite rare ;)

This one weighs 4.9Kg and was the heavier of the options available

I looked at that but the amount of current i'll be needing to crank a 6.3 V8 is going to be huge so i have to go for the Red Top 60

nice one bud, seems to have been a long time LOL

 

not sure if i remember right but didnt i sell you the border fuel rail?? now that was a long time ago

 

when and who is setting up the aem?

 

i have a map for 850cc injectors somewhere if you want it to load on as a start point? may need tweaking for your setup but worked perfectly on my old setup

One and the same border kit, approx 4 years ago!

 

Getting Ryan@2bartuning to map it, currently booked for 13th July as my holidays overlap with his :( am exploring other options though

 

Thanks for the map offer, I actually have one already for 850inj and 3.5 bar map so will give that a go first.

Edited July 7, 200916 yr by jaffa

time for an update. AEM is on and initial map up to 1bar, thanks to Topless for getting it to SRR while I was on holiday! A few issues to resolve including a boost leak to find then back to the dyno to start opening her up properly.

 

Before anyone asks, I haven't got the graph or even seen it, I'm told 500bhp fly at 1bar. It's very driveable, power delivery is quite linear so fairly large leak somewhere or stuck wastegate.

 

Anyhow, getting the AEM working means I've hooked up my new dash :) (ignore the boost value, still playing with it)

 

nice piece of kit the aem isnt it ;) the dash looks cool :)

Very posh. i like that alot :cool:

What can i say ! :bow::bow:

Some quick updates:

Boost leak fixed (uncapped vac pipes under throttle body)

AEM wiring tidied up

MAF's & JWT Dual pop piping removed (pic to be added)

2.5" Turbo inlet pipe on pass side fitted (replaces rubber accordian pipe)

Remaining red vac hoses changed to black

Electric fan now controlled by AEM, on at 85, off at 80, only on if engine running to preserve my battery.

 

Heater Matrix hose sprung a leak, so fitted new ones tonight. While I was there, took a pic of the oil return feed from the back of the head back to the sump (there's one on each).

 

pictures of the adaptors used

 

 

Next jobs:

Fit AEM CAS disc to CAS

Fit new wideband sensors

Wire second FuelPump Controller to run 2nd pump (currently running full bore all the time)

Do boost leak test before going back to the dyno

very impressive stuff there jaffa. Gives me a few more ideas to steal :D

Wow very impressive.

 

You are running a similar spec to what i will be. Mine is just missing off the 2.5" piping and the Ash side mounts. I have the Greddy front mount on smaller piping. Ash side mounts are meant to be awesome.

 

Any ideas of power output?

For those still interested in this build!

 

New Wideband sensors fitted.

RPS Carbon/Carbon clutch fitted

MAF's removed

 

Dual Fuel Pump Controllers fitted

and another day at the dyno today, can't say enough thanks to my pit crew (silverbullet & topless) who came to watch and soon ended up helping out :)

 

Previous dyno (458rwhp), lag lag lag

 

 

fixed some boost leaks, also had to fit some new, colder sparkplugs between runs. Result being:

Rearwheel

fly

 

Not as laggy as before, feels good on the road. However, our first run for the second session spooled up around 6-800 rpm sooner so reckon there's a few more air leaks to find!

 

Next jobs

Adjust clutch to get 5th gear back

tidy up ECU wiring

micolor clamps all round and serious boost leak test

niiiiiiiiiiiiiice.

 

feel very inadequate right now......
