i know every car is different so nothing we come out the same...but this is what i got ..the greddy tt with intercooler, unthox. pulleys, stillen catless pipes, injen catback, the greddy e-01 boost controller. i think its not a bad start if you ask me ,,,what do u think i should set the boost at and what whp am i looking at with this ??

 

Leave it at stock unless you are going to address timing, fuel and different MAPS, in other words leave the controller on OFF mode and use it for guages until you address the above.

RWHP will probably be around 330

Agreed. You need to upgrade the fuel supply (bigger fuel pump, change it to return-style, etc.). The E-Manage doesn't control timing? I just figured people were running the J&S safeguard for added safety and more control. Hopefully he'll get it tuned (after he addresses fuel supply) by someone who's tuned an E-Manage on a 350Z before. I wouldn't think modifying the fuel maps would be a DIY.

 

The emanage adresses timing if you get the optional harness but even Greddy doesn't suggest it yet on the 350Z as it appears some burn coils. Also the J&S is more useful as you can set timing retard based on boost and RPM's as well as tapping into the knock sensor signal.

 

Ahh, thanks for clearing that up.

 

You could see more than 330 though possibly. I made 345 rwhp at stock boost and just TT, intercooler, and testpipes. Not sure how much those pulleys and exhaust would net you, but it would at least be a little.

 

so more or less everyone here thinks ..fuel pump and a j&s safegaurd should be next???

 

Yeah. Consider all the fuel solutions though, CJ-M twin-pump, CJ-M single pump (both are return fuel style), AAM return fuel system, etc..

Deleted your second post and fixed the first one. Next time, hit "Edit" and you can edit your post within 60 minutes of posting it.

 

damn that kind of sucks haha didnt know i should have gotten all the fuel done , so shouldnt boost at 6.5/7.5 ?

 

thanks . didnt know that with the edit part ....kind of new to this all

 

Well, all you really need is a Walbro fuel pump. But i'd consider the return-style system(s) if you plan on doing over say..450 - 475rwhp.

 

No problem.

 

okay last question for now before i drive you crazy with dumb quesitons.. say i get a fuel pump (like the walro pump) is 7.5 pounds of boost safe or no good>?

 

It should be safe. But, i'm not to say. I don't have the GReddy kit and every motor varies on tolerance. Make sure you have a shielded crank and cam angle sensor wire (see gq_626 or phunk if not).

 

Good point I forgot about the wire, see the group buy, I think you can still get one.

7.5 is safe with the fuel pump, I have gone to 8 and 8.5 but higher than that and you definetly need the return system.

 

With basicly the same setup as you I made 362 at 5psi. As for upping the boost once you get the pump and fix the timing you can run 8psi no problem. As for the timing I went with a TS reflash for the Greddy kit and make 411.5rwhp at 8psi.

They map it very safe due to it being a mail order tune, so you can get more power at 8psi with a more agressive tune but why risk it?

One more thing regarding the Emanage. As Westpack mentioned, it can control timing with the optional eManage ignition harness. This setup DOES work...without damaging coils, as long as you install some cheap dioides on the output wires. Just never leave the key in the "on" position when the engine is not running.

I like the idea of tuning base fuel and timing with the eManage, and then having the J&S as an automatic safeguard and knock dectection unit...in my little perfect world.

 

...and remember, your motor can blow up at any second...have a nice day!

no, really, even foloowing all of these precautions, consider strongly to lay low (stock boost) and rebuild your engine, then turn up the boost, that's what I WOULD HAVE done.
I still haven't got my "blown engine club" jacket, it doesn't have all of the perks that you would expect!

 

Yeah, jacket or not that is one club I do not want membership to. Unfortunately it seems to be a roll of the dice as to wether the engine will be OK or not, some have had problems with stock boost right out of the box while others have boosted to 9 psi (with fuel and timing) and still running strong, maybe it is that shielded wire.
