I started my built motor & twin turbo 350Z 5AT project about 2 months ago. I got the car back just yesterday :thumbsup: No dynos b/c I still need to break-in the motor. After break-in, I'll have it dyno tuned and running ~12-13 lbs on pump gas.

So far, the tranny is holding up very well in manual mode. With a massive cooler, the tranny oil temps are nice and cool.

insane, good luck with everything, i think id be driving it all day just to speed up the break in.

 

You're going to need more than just a valve body upgrade and cooler for that kind of power. Also, I think you need to raise the redline via reflash so you don't hit the rev limiter on shifts. Try this:

Also, you don't have an EGT or AFR gauge?! That's pretty dangerous IMO...

GL!

 

Thanks for the suggestions.

Rev limiter has been raised. I spoke to many different companies about the tranny issue including SGP. Most of them have found that if you drive in manual mode and do your own shifting, you put much less strain on the AT and have held up with a VB upgrade & proper cooling on the street. SGP upgrade involves upgrading the clutch packs (thicker paper) in the tranny which I may do if my tranny fails or do a 6spd swap.

 

Ah, so you're ok in manual mode. Does that affect your times? (does the shift take any longer in DIY?)

 

Who did the installation work?

 

looks like z car garage. NICE!

Awesome pics, Ronnie. Congrats on the new monster!

Just to give credit where due, I saw Ronnie's Z and motor at Scott Performance while mine was being built.

 

Did you get your car done at scotts performance....? I just dropped mine off on sat for some major work....

HOw much did this all cost? Looks sick though!

 

Yea I'm having aps done and a lot more... ted is promising me 450 to the wheels..... we'll see... how much hp did you have..?

 

^kool kool. I'll probably see you & your car around then. 450whp is very doable with cams.

I just finished break-in, so once my stoptechs come in he'll be tuning it. He said mine is going to be 500whp.

 

Ted told me there was nuthing to break in...?? That he could dyno it and tune then give it to me.... ??
