Yeah, it would be good to know the turbine housing size. Do you know if you have a 3 or 3.5" down pipe? If you have a 3" down pipe, you've got a T3 housing. If you have a 3.5" down pipe, you've got a T4 housing. You have stock cams too, right? I hope the larger fuel pump resolves your issue, but looking at that dyno graph, I suspect a small turbine housing and stock cams could also be contributing factors. I do not mean to rain on your parade, but 20 PSI seems like a lot of boost for 500whp.

I'm also concerned if you're running stiff BC valve springs on stock cams. I've seen multiple incidents over the years of stock cams breaking with aftermarket springs.

Good stuff to hear
. The good part is this car will rarely see the rev limiter on the street.. its Scottsdale.. lol.. thus is now my " bar crawler chopper/ Saturday afternoon cruise"car.. its a pointless build IMHO.. not a show car
.but basically is a show off car.. I'm old ..just like you! Lol. Jk.
Btw I didn't know u were a leo... I come from a very long line of Bronx PD/ ak state troopers. I guess I'm.the sour apple lol.
Oh and its a 3 in down pipe..
I'm totally OK to have plenty of low hanging fruit and room to grow man... but I appreciate the heads up for stuff to watch out for fully.

 

I see... LOL Well, I still hope it all gets sorted out and performs as it should.

Yeah, 12 years with PPD. It's a love/hate relationship ...like our cars. LMAO

 

This is a dope build!

 

Updates Brian?????

Sorry for the ot, I live in the west valley and over the last three days (Wed-Friday 1/15-17 ) I have seen 6-12 PPD motorcycle units either driving together or on the side of the road. (Buckeye, Lower Buckeye, Southern 40th Ave to 50th Ave). In the afternoons Was something going on?

 

a few.. Richard at UMS fb messaged me early Friday saying my car was on the dyno right then.. but no word back from them later on that day.

Not sure what that was about.. i hope there was no mechanical issue.

Aside fromthat, i got a wild hair yesterday and ordered my long awaited tunnel hatch.. ive gone round for round on puilling the trigger and then having things pop up.. so this time i jsut told them to send the damn thing lol.

Should be cool.. i think w what i have planned it will be a neat look, and also plan to replace the window seal ( as many suggest it needs anyways) and tap the screw holes so a few wing nuts can be installed so the window is removable. Maybe use a piano hinge across the bottom.. ill see when i get it. I do certainly plan to partition the trunk under the strut bar.. and most likely will suede wrap the interior panels as well.. they look really easy and i found a very cheap place to get good suede online. The swatches they sent match the stuff i have on the dash well.



On top of that, I finally found some fairly inexpensive wheels that have a decent looking lip and a useable offset for my car. Theyre not cheap by any means, but theyre also not 700-1000 per wheel . I picked up wheels and tires for 3 grand. 500 a wheel.




I have a set on the way.. also by going an inch narrower in the back (20x11) i can run a normal person tire at normal person prices lol. These 325s are unreal expensive.


I thought about selling the f14s, but fk it.. might as well have 2 sets i guess.

 

Cool, hopefully he just got busy & all is well.

 

yeah i hope so.. once that tunes done, i dont really have to wait for this car.. worst case scenario i can show up myself with a screwdriver and a 10mm socket and extension and put the damn thing back to gether myself in a day or two.

I sure hope these front wheels fit.. eesh.. i have quite a large caliper now .. same as yours.. no one at the company has that fit spec avail tho.

 

If a stock G37S wheel fits, I'd think those will. Check those specs & compere?

I hope you don't have to do it yourself. I'm doing an alternator right now, reminded me why I stopped working on Japanese cars. Everytime I do I think they are getting revenge for WWII.

lol

 

car came off the dyno today... graphs and exact numbers and figures to come, but the final approx result after this long saga..

500 whp on pump gas..
650 whp on Q16.
Hot damn.. !
now it puts teh clothes's back on teh car... and gives it to meh now!

 

the car is being put back together starting tomorrow.

I apologize that the high map is nearly invisible in these pictures.. its a faint orange line tahats WAY above the darker red and more easily visible lines.

 

Congrats!

 

as much $ as I'm sure it cost you and time it took I hope everything is perfect congratulations

 

Word, been looking forward to the end result for a while. Congrats.

 

thanks guys. I'm pretty happy it turned out as well too.

I have no business behind the wheel of a car like this.. i will certainly be treating it as such for quite awhile too.
pics and video to be posted as they are made.

Got a cool package in the mail today too:













Also found a new toy that Im looking at now.....





We will have to see how this Z goes first.. too many projects at once.. but I am in love w this truck too.. it will then be the 2nd vehicle in my stable that gets 9 mpg lol.

 

Are we there yet?

 

Congrats...

waiting for vids now!

 

you n me both! lol.

My new wheels n tires should land fairly soon as well.. and im bringing the ehadlights and radio waterfall and some other stuff down there today so it can go back together.

I havent told anyone locally as there is huge anticipation on the car that has built up here w the local forum guys... but i would imagine it will be back in my garage by this weekend.

 

we wanna see!!!

 

Cool!
