Well I had the time during my holidays to install the Greddy 3 Row FMIC on my Z.

 

The final result looks awsome but with some costs of course. Car gets warmer now due to the fact that no air can enter the engine bay to cool down the radiator. Also I left the oil cooler temporarily at its stock location until i get the Greddy one which i am about to relocate on the left side of the car.

 

I am not having any overheading issues but water tempretures are higher now than before. (5-9ceclious). Maybe its also because summer its getting closer and temps are higher than before. The tempreture conclusions are based on my digital SBC-ID meter reading which i am getting directly from the ECU.

 

Doing such a mod (in my opinion) you have to get an aftermarket radiator, larger oil cooler and a vended ducted nose panel. I am getting all three of them soon and I will see how everythings going.

 

In terms of performance: I can feel the turbos now kicking hard at 4K where before they were somewhere 3.5K (But thats on stock turbos and I also believe one of them its going bad also). But the power that the car makes now its much more than before. I can tell that my 3rd gear pull is as close as to 2nd gear at 14.5 PSI. But thats based on my opinion without any dyno proof, so dont take my word seriously :)

 

Overall i am happy with it. Bit by bit the beast will get alive

It is also a good idea to relocate the air intake,so that even more air can get through.

Nice work re filoui!!! :hyper: :hyper: :hyper:

I thought about that as well. Actually the kit comes with its own twin intake setup that goes on stock location and sits on top of the intercooler (not behind) just right under the center panel. Thats why I am thinking of getting a vented nose panel to allow the air to go directly to the intakes.

 

But relocating them its not a bad idea either. I am about to do some custom job on the car and probably if I find the space I will relocate them to the left and right.

 

Hows your build up going?

Dont forget to post some pics as soon as u take some

Did you get your conversion done?

I am developing lots of them today and I will find a scanner and post them in the next couple of days.

Here are some pictures of this conversion from a friends car in Holland

 

 

 

 

 

 

Did you get your conversion done?

 

I'm waiting a lot parts from courtesy next week and i'll start.If u have free time come down and i'll scan them for u as check the parts for the conversion and my signed sunshield and z book from Mr. Koyama :bow: :bow: :bow:
