I wouldn't say it is a better solution but it is much more powerful. It can control anything from a single cylinder motor to a v8 and up to 20,000 rpms. It can do staged injection and control nitrous and/or meth injection. The Electromotive Is a much more hardcore engine management system.

I'd stick to the HP Tuner Pro if your swap is going to remain somewhat mild.

I do not have a heater or A/C on my Z. Not because I couldn't make it work, but because I didn't want it.

Ahh makes sense. I'm am doing a hot cam, and maybe a positive displacement blower later on... I believe HP Tuner Pro will be suitable for those power adders.

Yes. There are a number of twin intakes out there for LS equipped cars and they make decent HP gains with them. The intake was something I just happened to have laying around that fit very nicely and looks good.

Almost all done. I had a small problem with my MAP sensor not getting a reading. It ended up being one of the terminals a friend crimped for the weatherpack connector was not done properly and the wire was loose. Problem fixed!

Spent the weekend at Cedar Point riding some big a$$ rollercoasters so I didn't get to work on it.

Should have driving videos this week.

I love going on the dragster! That thing is f'n crazy!

Had a chance to take the Z out for a quick spin last night late at night. The thing is going to be a beast . Hoping to put a good tune in it this week and try getting some in car videos. Still putting interior panels on and cleaning up small little things here and there.

Here are some pictures of how nicely the stock 350z accessories can fit on the LS motor. These are custom brackets I made but they were extremely simple to make and work well!







You can see the 60-2 timing gear on the back of the crank pulley nicely hidden out of sight.

Nice! Good work! So I can re-use my Z accessories! What did you keep besides the alternator? Will the AC fit? Thanks.

Stock Z alternator, power steering pump and power steering pump reservior.

There is room for the A/C but it would be a PITA.

Dude I can't wait to see more videos of this thing! this is seriously my goal and a dream of mine for a while now. I am just intimidated when I think about having to make custom parts for it. I know enough to get me by when it comes to doing my own work, but fabricating is not my thing lol! If I was to buy the Sikky install kit, what else on top of that would require custom fabrication or what additional components would be needed to finish it. I wish you luck with your dyno!
