MIA will take care of all your Qs, I picked is brain all through my self-install, just take your time and you will be fine.

Glad I could help you decide. Im sure you've read my write this but--->dont raise your rev limiter Congrats on everything, I look forward to your results...

 

MI 35th if need any assistance or have any questions on the kit or anything related to Turbonetics....please call us

I am Rev-Up so my stock limiter is 7100 lol but i think i have better rod bolts and hardware to justify the revs. I am not going to go past the stock rev-limiter though.

Thanks, I will be in touch I forsure need a charge pipe for the rev-up motor... its the pipe with the BOV mount on it and any other piping that is different from the standard kit.

 

mike sold me the kit with the eManage Blue, for reliability reasons I am not sure if I want to use this or goto a UTEC or HKS FCON IS, or save up and step up to a real ems like the FCON, AEM, or Hydra.

Whatever you do, DON'T use the Emanage Blue for engine management. There are far too many better options out there.

 

Im sure you already read this but you may need a steering rack from an 03' Z in addition to modifying the charge pipe to clear the timing cover (exhaust cam timing), my buddy who custom did his 06' TN set-up had to do this for the downpipes to clear. Good luck...

 

I was told that the 05 Rev-up ie 35th anniversary has a old style steering rack. They didnt chang out the rack unitil 2006.

 

Ahh, good info...

 

MI is correct. The steering rack is the same on all 05s as it is on the 03-04s. Only the 06 had the new steering rack..

 

i put the tn kit on my '05 revup (g35 sedan)

you really don't need a new charge pipe. just hammer a nice dimple into the backside of that pipe. you just need to clear the cam control device. other than that, i needed a slightly longer section of silicone hose

 

Your right i would have just modified it myself, but it was stolen along with BOV. Its unfortunate but I suppose Ill just have to get a new one.


Also Just got off the phone with Sandy@Forged, ordered some new parts

AAM oil pan spacer
GReddy Type RS BOV
Walbro 255 lph fuel pump
NGK Iridium 1 step colder plugs.

 

Congrats and WELCOME to the DARK SIDE....

Good luck with the install and just remember to "Drive it like U Stole it".. lol

 

Damn straight, Im glad i kinda got the best of both worlds rev-up no oil consumption & old steering rack.

 

Off subject but is the steering rack in the 06+'s a bit beefier than the 03-05's

 

Not sure if its beefier just different Quamen,

But Back on Topic.


Updated

In the search for reliability I have decided to source a fuel return system and step up to a Full EMS.

Soo * on adding the Hydra Nemesis EMS when it is debuted & CJM fuel return. Not to mention I might step up to 650cc injectors and just scale them back.

Also I have created a jar in my kitchen (Built Motor Fund) because even the safest setups have mishaps.

Missing parts of the Kit are now accounted for and have been shipped.

Now I am just waiting on something to tune the car with.

 

Bumping this back up for more information folks.

I am trying to seruously think about my goals on the Z. I want the most reliable single turbo setup EVER. Power is my second goal obviously and price falls a distant third. However. If something can be done with less why waste $.

I guess I might as well update the status, I am holding off the install until I figure out this stock motor situation.

I would think all that is needed is a nice EMS to tune a nice 400- 450whp out of the stock rev-up

So its come down to a top dog of Fcon or using he still capable Utec.

Well just finished going back from my 3.9 Fd to a 3.5FD and working on welding up a single exit 3" exhaust.

The snow storm had a little ill effect on my car and had to replace the front bumper. I already rolled the rear bumper so I dont have 2 exhaust cutouts.

So as the car sits, I am spending way to much $$ to quickly on the car and building multi engine hours.


But I am thinking of adding a few parts more to my list of goal parts.

Cosworth Plenum depending on Sharif's results
JWT S7 Camshafts and PnP heads with +1 valves.
HKS headgaskets

 

Alright time to bump my FI thread back up top, since i will be starting the install as soon as the parts arive.

A buddy of mine hooked me up with a charge pipe, and all new clamps and black silicon connections have been ordered.

With the UTEC installed and running great, I need to add a map sensor to it and I will have all the nessesary parts to do this project.

Any pre-game warnings about self install.

I am very worried about the a/c lines even though I have faith in my abilites.
