+1 on the FCon VPro it really is a great EMS, definetly one of the best. The drivability is so much nicer than the unichip. When you are ready just shoot me a PM or give us a call. We will be able to help you out

Good luck with your project!

had the boost turned down, it's still on the built motor. went to nissan today and they said they could raise the idle to 250rpms above stock, so i pretty much paid 62 bucks for nothing. what a waste of cash since i already idle at 900 as it is.

Just got my car back with a UTEC tune and most the times it won't start on the first try. Also only in first and on initiall take off sometimes it totally bogs out. Is this normal? I also have the CJ return fuel with rc550's.

OK let me clear this up before we get off track, the OP has Marins built engine, Bigbri just sold his car shortly so I have no idea who got it and I have Teds engine.
I am sure he is not running that power on stock internals without being able to tell the difference in sound, a built motor is a completely different sound even at initial start up.

So Marin's built engine /=/ 715rwhp. I think we all knew that, but how did it do on ZCG's dyno at higher boost? You have Ted's engine, so what's in the Black Widow now then? A stock-internal APS TT? That's a bunch of crazy engine swapping! Congrats to the OP also - you got that car for a steal, but we miss it on the streets! Marin's new car isn't nearly as special as that TT'd 350!

I have no idea on what Marins engine was making at all. The balck widow was sold with my NA engine in place and I took his engine along with the APS kit. Ted bought a Lambo with a TT on it I think.

marin's engine on my car when i first had it made about 493 on ?? psi. i had the car detuned to 12 psi where it made 467 on about 12 psi which i felt was a little low. i now has the fuel return system and 650cc injectors. UPDATE: the car as of right now is running like absolute shiit due to my own personal fault. i had the car's idle raised at the dealer and ever since then then car can't even hold its own idle when started. i'm getting pretty sick of this crap. i will be scheduling one last appointment for this car at ZCARGARAGE to have it retuned once again and see if i can get it running good. if not, so long Z....this really sucks
