Z1 Import Charges
The jwt sport 500 is a great turbo and capable of maxin out the fuelling capacities of stock injectors.the gt525,s are a bit more laggy as its impeller is much larger,but it will give you a bigger kick in the arse higher up the rev range.ive just imported $5500 of z1 parts and the import charges were £370.so your tubs will cost around £180 ish id expect.

Dipstick tube removal??
I Tap them out from underneath once the manifold is off with a parrallel punch.make sure you refit it with a bit of sealer to avoid any leaks.drive it fully home using the collar.if its not fully in the block your oil reading will be incorrect.

Hello from Cornwall! Auto Trans Problem.
That wouldnt cause the issue you had,id still say its a crank bearing relationship issue.if it was contamination id expect for maybe a couple of bearings to have worn but for all of them summit is seriously wrong.I wouldnt put a set of bearings in until you establish exactly what went wrong or youll just waste your money.

Hello from Cornwall! Auto Trans Problem.
Could be a number of things,crank grind may not be done to a high standard,bearings may be wrong ? if all the bearings are on the copper its one of the aforementioned.Did you clean out the engine oil cooler ? how much did the machine shop remove ? what undersize bearing did you get ?

Stiff Gearchanges
Incorrect oil grade or poor clutch adjustment,but id suspect the short shitter also !!

Stiff Gearchanges
Just a stock lever with its fulcrum will do it.

lol another missfire > o2 sensor
The 02 sensor is an aid for emission control,it reads oxygen levels in the exhaust and the ecu uses this to "fine tune" fuelling for the correct Stoichiometric ratio.Even with a failed sensor it wont flood the engine to the extent it misfires.

Stiff Gearchanges
Short shifters are box munchers,lose it.the zeds shift is short anyway.All it does is increase mechanical advantage which aids syncro failure from forced changes.

Down at Emerald
From what im told it can take place of the speed sensitive steering,rev limit,traction control,full throttle gearshifts,boost control if required.its a great bit of kit and way better to run than the AEM system,where else could you get so involved with your cars mapping and get such good advice with the guys that map and develop it ??
-
Warped brakes?
No offence but were they branded oem discs or e bays finest chocolate specials ? and did you break them in properly ?
-
lol another missfire > o2 sensor
Firstly an o2 sensor wont cause a misfire and if it fails the de fault will be for the ecu to run the engine rich for safety.lean running causes detonation.

Down at Emerald
Nice figures mate,Dave Walker is a great guy but talks another langauge,jeez hes a clever guy and when he starts trying to explain what hes doing he may aswell be speaking Latvian . Im glad your cars running well with the Emerald system,you opted for any of its features,ie traction control or full throttle gear shifts ?
