Are you going to have enough money to keep tires on this thing when that 400 hp 350Z starts sliding?

I guess its not really a timing thing, my idle is really rough but I think that is due to my cam of choice and just need a tune. Having someone come over to take a look at it first though.

Sounds fantastic, even with the rough idle. I hope to see some videos once this thing is running right.

Man great progress, loving your build.
Just wanted to share my experience with those tiny fuel filters. They filter very well but do get clogged up quickly due to their small size. You can simply clean them out and re-use. So make sure to check before any dyno or drift days!

Yeah I love the sound.. reminds me of that evil looking Carbon Fiber S14.5 with the LS motor..

Sooooo the ChaseBays BS continues... Figuring out why it sounds like **** and wont hold a idle..





BAM!!! Pins were not locked in,, Like come on... So we did not have all eight ignition signals more like 6.. We have a rough tune but need to get a wide band on it. Also my TPS sensor reads backwards.. 100 at idle and 0% at WOT (guessing chasebays is to blame for this) So going to buy a new TPS just to be safe since mine was used.


But as of right now I have another vid with a better idle that I will post up (question how do you embed Vimeo vids?)


So for now I am going to bring her home, run my brake lines, lower car and get alignment and then head back to Dallas to get tuned and fix any issues we come up with..

Definately better, but you are right, needs some work. I forgot your exhaust is pretty much just a pipe going out, haha
