Well, got my kit installed and tuned last week. Running well with some serious butt planting power. Here are a few pics of the car and the engine. I also have pics of the parts/install and the Dyno results from AAM but the file is too large.

Here is a link to more pics.

what psi did you use to achieve 420?

 

how much boost, and what type of engine management im assuming a reflash?

 

We were in a hurry to get the car out and on the road last weekend. I believe the boost was set between 8.5 -> 9psi, but I am taking it back tomorrow to have more tests, confirm the settings and check the a/f ratio again. I will have more data then.

I am using eManage plus AAM reflash and customized DYNO tuning in conjunction with the HKS EVC boost controller.

I see in your sig you have AAM Y Pipe and high flows.. So they are compatible with a GReddy TT set-up?

Fred..

 

Congrats, and a very clean install from the pics.

 

looks sweet man, good numbers

 

Congrats. I'm jealous... still waiting for my car to get tuned.

 

Fred, yea, that was their recommendation actually. They said it needed higher flow for the turbo as I only had the NISMO exhaust in previously. They replaced everything except for the muffler from what I can tell with 2.5' piping.
I hope to get a pic of it all together if they put the car on the lift tomorrow. (Fingers Crossed) I will post the pics on the website, clean up the ugly ones and put the link out on the NICO forums this weekend.

Thanks everyone for the compliments. AAM did the hard work and the tuning. I am thanking them for such a good job and recommendations for newbie. Hoping to get her out on the road this weekend and open it up a bit, see how she goes

Enjoy your weekends everyone.

Aloharacing and XBS,

Spoke to Mike at AAM. They gauges kit is from Japan. It uses metric kg and not PSI. BUT looking at the conversion tables, it looks like the normal boost (which gives about 380 - 390 rwhp) is just over 7 PSI or 10 kg. The Max boost for the 420 wrhp is set at around 9 PSI or 13 kg. The checkout today was good... Running smooth..... ME LIKELY...

 

Great to see a roadster with a Greddy TT. Nice looking car...

 

Glad to hear the ZR's running real strong, Brent.

Enjoy your summer, and make sure you keep it top down!

 

Thanks guys, Tomorrow it goes in for a new Stereo (Alpine Head Unit w/Focal speakers and Eclipse Amp).
I think that will be the last of the mods until Winter (AP racing BBK & Seibon Hood w/Vizage front and possibly Greddy side skirts or ING side panels)

Top down is the only way to go...!!!!!
