Man, you work fast as hell! Good job. Did you ever find about that ECU harness?

 

wow that is rather fast, especially in your house with no lift, no air tools, just 1 person and rain! haha crazy. What about that Koyo radiator? not going in? or putting it in later..

 

oh its in already, it just sits behind the AC condenser and behind the radiator brace.


you can see the top of it if you look carefully...



yeah, so far the hardest part seriously was taking the damn borla off the G....

also the AC lines on the Z were in the way for intercooler piping, kinda annoying. besides that, not a problem at all

 

weird, i thought the koyo had vertical lines and stock radiator had horizontal... unless koyo is almost the same looking from the other side. but i can see the top nice job

 

damn, in wikipedia I looked up "backyard mechanic" and saw your pic....

props, very cool. can't wait to see your numbers.

 

Nice progress today, wish I coulda been there. I finished my guages and then went to work, woulda rather been over there again. I'll call tommorrow after I get off if it's not raining

 

thanks man, also i figured out the difference in the Greddy twin turbo kit for the G and the Z. the intercooler mounts differently and you CANNOT mount the bottom bolts on the intercooler if you want to make the turbo to intercooler pipes work. besides that, its all a really tight fit but fits perfectly. i will have to make some kinda spacer for the bottom bolts on the IC cause the bars that mount are about two inches off. and as i said before, the greddy hose clamps suck, i like tightening stuff tight and i hate when stuff breaks, i will be off to amazon hose company as soon as they open this morning

front bumper cover, two belts, about 10 hose clamps, some vacuum lines, map sensor and plug in the ECU plugs and i will be ready to start it.

 

Best thread I've seen in a while. A boosted Z and a G?! Baller. Subscribing.

 

well all i have to do is put the test pipes on, girl came over and had to eat dinner, so i didnt have time befre it got too dark to see to do the TPs. i also have to run the vacuum lines and am not 100% sure exactly where they need to run to and exactly what Ts off from what. hopefully i can find a GReddy TT diagram. i will be putting in the figures for the utec tonight and hopefully turning the key on by midday tomorrow!!

today was such a long day of doing nothing, i only had a few items left but had to run to the parts store about three times for stupid stuff and the more parts i add, the tighter that engine bay gets...

thanks guys and i will hopefully tell you that it started on the 1st try tomorrow!!!!

 

I see you did yourself a favor and got some tbolt replacement clamps...good call.

 

yup sure did, those stupid greddy hose clamps are worthless, plus i hope to be pushing some serious power out of this car and dont feel like taking the bumper everytime i blow a hose off...


you can tighten those as much as you want!!

 

Yes sir you can...if you haven't, you might as well replace them all while you have the car sort of still apart.

 

you are my hero!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

nice work man. u are hammering along. i hope the startup goes well for u and u dont need to redo anything! props.

 

NOICE FING WORK!! meng it came along quick n fast good job

 

Damn.. looks good! Now all you need to do is just finish that Z, start it up, get it running perfect.. then work on the G..

 

Wow, your install has certainly progressed nicely and to think you did this all by yourself with the help of Matt (and maybe Eric was supervising ). Its pretty amazing. You should open your own shop (how about the name JT performance? )

 

yes that is the plan to open up my own shop here in orlando. i just dont want another boring performance shop. i have been saving up the money to do it and it will be soon. just have to figure out the details...


thanks guys, i will let you know on the start up!!

hopefully its all working right

 

amazing,you attempted one hell of a job and got her done.im impressed.hope the rest goes well.

 

Damn nice...again I am jealous of you guys who know so much about cars lol i know jack **** about motors because my old man would never teach me what he knows. hah i can't even change my own oil.
