I called him but I never got a call back, I guess he was busy. Just curious if you knew if they were operational this week or not.
Sorry I didnt get back to you. I made sure that your ecu went out with the horn. If you have any further questions please feel free to call me at 805-581-6710.

No worries...shot you back some alternate sources in case my guy doesn't have it. Luckily his dealership parts dept links to about 7 others in the Socal area so even if its not at his shop he can get it and send it. Should have some news for you tomorrow around 0800 PST.

Ask and you shall receive

First pic is the fuel pump assembly out of the car and a shot of the Walbro pump sitting inside the assembly.

Second pic is the fuel pump assembly with the 2 3/8" holes you need to drill

Third pic is the fuel regulator orifice after being drilled out to 7/64"

All these steps were simple....

Thumbs up

Some more pics-

Close up of lower plenum, an under hood shot with no plenums on before taking fuel rails out, and a shot of the stock injectors (black) and TN injectors before moving the bottom o-rings around and adding the injector spacer to the top of the TN injectors....

Not sure but it tells you to do that. Maybe when the fuel gets low the holes will allow the pump to pick up gas easier?

Alberto, good luck with the rest of the install. there are few PITAs left but in the end it will all be worth it!!

+1 on the comments about Reggie and MIA. During my install, MIA helped me and my friend Dan out with some questions we had. also, I had a v-band clamp that i apparently over-torqued (snapped @15 minutes after the fact) and Reggie sent one out to me right away, no questions asked. between MIA, Reggie and Dan my install was possible with the least amount of head aches!! after working out some quirks (my fault) i drove my Z for @900 miles before getting deployed with no issues.

my install pics: http://gallery.thevboard.com/index.p...0INSTALLATION%

Be sure to:
*Make sure to use teflon paste instead of tape.
*Use metal zip ties to secure the heat wrap. i purchased mine at www.summitracing.com.com
*Make sure all the clamps over the sillicone couplers coincide with the grooves.
*Be sure to put thread lock on the O2 sensor plugs.

Thanks for the heads up. I already have teflon NPT thread tape, and metal zip ties from Summit to go along with my DEI exhaust wrap. I havent even opened the box with the clamps but Ill be sure to mate them with their couplers well. I shouldnt get to the piping until Friday, tomorrow Im just finishing the fuel pump assembly and hopefully the injector swap and put the plenums back on.
