Turbo timer pics actually coming tomorrow but for now here are some pics of what i have done so far: Yes i am slow installer! lol But all that matters is the outcome. I hope to have my Kinetix SSV SOON (pics coming)!!

ps: thanks to King Tut for his general help and for installing my NGK plugs!

 

by the way, what is the 9 volt battery used for on the UTEC?

 

is that the factory bracket for the utec? where are you going to mount it?

 

The pic is of the factory bracket. i altered it to make it fit like factory. i have heard that some have had problems fitting the UTEC and ECU back in the OEM position. i heard some have zip-tied the top of the bracket because they weren't able to seat it properly. i had problems with the lower part of the bracket so i cut a groove in it. should work like a champ. pics coming tomorrow.

 

Its too bad you dont have the Y Connectors as opposed to the T connector, thats a nasty lookin bend in the line

 

Just read almost the entire UTEC manual in anticipation of helping you setup the UTEC. The 9V battery is used to supply auxiliary power. So that you can fire up the UTEC when it is not connected to the car so you can edit, copy, and upload maps or firmware with the UTEC out of the car.

Hey vitamin:
Check out my AAM thread, I ordered the Y connector in case you decide to get it, phunk put a link

 

Hey folk sweet stuff... Did you see my thread where I installed the Kinetix SSV Plenum?

Cause I would look at that then mount your fuel pressure regulator so it doesn't get in the way of the SSV plenum.

 

Talked to william at AAM he said the line goes to the middle of the t-fitting. Sharif responded with a positive comment on my install on another forum. i had told him to take a look at the area in question so i am guessing he feels the same as william. CPrace has done alot of these installs so i am sure he has seen many finished products in person. not to mention a mechanic friend of mine with over 30yrs experience said the gradual bend (as i like to call it) is fine. anyway, i guess i am saying that i am not too worried about the y-connector at this point.

thanks for the info and the concern

 

exactly why mine isn't mounted. i saw the pics on the ZchicZ.com and noticed that it was angled differently. so i will temp secure somehow, probably with zip ties.

thanks for the heads up! good looking out

 

post the link, please! want as much info as possible. thnx

 

looks great, cant wait for you to help me put mine in

 

thanks for the kind replies everyone. couldn't get to the Z today. it is kind of hard during the week. i kind of just want to leave the finishing touches for the weekend. working nights and doing these installs suck. anyway, here is a pic of the Z and I taken during the recent installs.

PS: i hate flashes, one of my eyes reacts different then the other! lol

 

good pics, hurry up and get it done and tuned!

 

Here ya go folk

Looking good Jaime! Thanks for keeping us posted.

 

everything is installed minus SSV (hasn't arrived). i have a few kinks to work out then finish programming the UTEC. King Tut is actually doing the programming. i have to figure out why my fuel pressure regulator is not reading correctly. it won't adjust so the readings are unknown and unreliable. i also have to recalibrate my Innovate wideband. it is acting up. i have to do a idle air adjustment as wekk here are some pics. the install so far has been rewarding. i am glad i did it myself!





vacuum manifold installed (SSV will change the configuration a bit)


Adding thickness to silicone sleeve to fit pi-thon clamps. the fit is just right now! anyone military (avionics) will recognize the tape used to add the thickness as F4 tape!


Final product!!


tight fit


condition of old plugs


cleaned up the wiring a bit


ignition harnes: acc, ign and 12v can be found here for the turbo timer install

Jaime, what is your fuel pressure reading in your regulator? If you are having problem lowering the fuel pressure, you might have ot drill out the return fitting slightly.

 

Congrats Jaime the car looks amazing..
