Glad to see it installed Zach! I was beginning to feel like the Lone Stranger.

 

Do you have your car tuned?

 

Chaparro78....what kind of #'s you getting out of your kit?

 

I do have a boost gauge and it reads about 6 psi. I try to keep my eye on the road when I am under heavy throttle but I believe it hits aroudn 6 psi. The shop that did the install said it was maxing out at 6.1 psi.

 

Thanks for the compliments! I do not have rims and I dont really plan on getting any in the near future. I would much rather the car go faster than have that extra bling factor!! I keep offering a friend $200 for his Nismo LMGT4?? rims but he keeps telling me NO! I just cant seem to figure out why he wont sell them for that price!

 

I have had the car tuned. They worked on it for about 5 hours they said. It started at around 275 HP and went up to about 343 HP. They said that they can not get any additional power out of it.

 

Looks sweet! I am curious to how loud it is for daily driving?

 

Has anyone with a turbocharged Z actually installed one of these yet?

There must be a leak somewhere or belts are slipping. But the numbers are not bad with only 6.1 psi of boost. Take it to a better shop.

 

Here are my 3 highest dyno runs.

 

that looks exactly like mine with that dip at 5500

 

You should look for a leak. I'm hitting between 7.6-8.1psi. You could probably get some moer HP out of it if you get that lost psi.

 

that is crazy, I have my vortech finally installed and it dynoed at 370. I only have an exhaust to add to performance stuff, and the tune is rich. At WOT I am at about 9 with my AF and can lean it out to about 11 and be good. You should take it to another shop cause you can get more out of it. Your setup looks nice, I have one of these manifolds on the way to me right now, I am excited!!! it looks hott.

 

Nice to see you finally got it installed. I am thinking about taking it to another tuner but I am kinda limited by money right now from the initial install and tuning costs.

 

With my hi-flow dual exhaust, cats, and crawford plenum, you will definitely lose about 1psi boost....that sounds about right - because of less backpressure, but if anything that should help a bit with reliability, and should not mean a loss in HP...the same amount of air is still entering the engine....it's just getting out quicker.
