Ok the big day finaly arrived,as i pulled into the farm road at 8.30am Petes behind me in his Supra,he commented 5 mins later how impressive Z looks when behind one,off to a great start then :D The fuel regulator was ditch for a FSE Powerboost Valve,after a few headaches as to where to fit the thing were off and running with the Apexi SAFC II,wired up,checked out,now for Pete to sort his magic on Dyno,come 3pm all done,to say i was mentaly knackerd would be an understatement,after a total of around 10 runs or more to tune up who would'nt be!!.

Results,

At last Dyno 294.9bhp rwhp,detting at 10.46,Torque 272ft/lb. :(

Now,360.1 bhp rwhp,Torque 369.9ft/lb :D

what you see is a gain overall in torque of 107ft/lb,Pete and his partner were well impressed and excited about this,and when driving home i could see why,bloody brilliant,so much more grunt,pulls like a train,as for the bhp,i decided with Petes advice that 360 was enough,and without Optimax and timing adjustment it was not worth the extra stress,but it should reach 400bhp going down this route.

On the graph for PSI you will notice that to maintain 16psi i have to have the controller set for 17.4 which it reaches then tails off slowly to 16 psi,this is down to the EVC5,aparently to cure this the Apexi boost controller is capable of sorting this,but its not realy a big problem.Very impressed with my SAFC II though,very clever kit.

Spool up of turbos start at around 2000rpm,reaching 360.1bhp at 4000rpm,like it ;)

So i am very happy,The Z flies,its well within its stress points,Pete and his partner did a excellent job,very proffesional,and the price was brilliant,especially with my 10% 300zx.co.uk club members "DISCOUNT"(thought i would throw that in for the non paying members :D )Top Work,Top Recomendation :cool:

I took my Zed to T&M's a couple of years ago, long before I spent dosh on it and made about 100 less RWHP LOL!! Your RWHP is really good. They're dyno must be as old as time itself, but it does serve it's purpose for tuning anyhew. Just don't go there in the summer when the local sewerage pit is kicking up (phew!!!)

 

Totally agree that we should have a Dyno section or something where it's nice'n easy to see everyones charts, now wer're getting em in. Perhaps we can start getting some of the other car clubs a little nervouse :D :D

LOL cool mate, I'll start uploading. Please bear in mind I have Broadlessband so it could take some time.

Great stuff TC - good to see your car putting out what it should be.

 

Re the FSE location - dunno if I'd be happy with fuel lines running down to the front of the engine bay ... call me nervous but a front impact could be worsened. :)

Yes i see what you mean it did run through my mind too,but then again i suppose the same could be said for the fuel filter and pipes being on the inner side wing,suppose big enough shunt would do same there,but to be honest its such a job to locate anything under the hood in these things :)

Glad you got it sorted Tony, you must be well chuffed.

and it looked so damn smart under the bonnet too!

a real credit to you Tony. And I'll bet your gran was keen to see you - did she take it out for a spin!!?

(There's a thread on here for grannies in a zed - she could win at 96, that would have to be a record!)

Yes well happy Herman,the long trip up to the NorthWest meet was great,ran so well,nothing went passed me ;)

Yes Nigel,found me Nans place in Golborn,been a few years since i was around that area,she's 92 and still gets around,it surprised her somewhat,she phoned up one of me uncles and he came over with his wife,he used to be a car nut,i got a little worried as soon as i parked up, there were around 7-8 youngers around it like a rash,thing was they knew a damn lot about modified cars,they were ok though,just kept me eye on it.On way back there was gritter wagons every where on motorway,Z looked white when i got home,spent this evening washing it off and getting the bloody salt off the engine,even had loads of it between the plenum,took me ages to suck it out with the hoover :shock: Good luck with yours ;) Tony
