/\ just the walbro and a 440cc injector. No return style system. I know a shop here in NY that advice all his client not to rev their car past 6000rpm on stock motor. Where is the fun on that? I have always redline my car when racing.. I dont go past 7100 rpm though (I have revup).

ok guys quick question is it better to stay with my strup headers on my z with the sts turbo kit or would it be better to install my stock headers, would i benefit better if i wrap the headers?

huh ok guys a week away from installing goosegoose sts turbokit on my z and well my z is starting to act up again huh just my luck i'm having a rough idle starts at 700 and then drops to 400 like it wants to stall out but then just back up to 700 like it corrects itself. Well i was down in tx visiting family when i got back from the desert and took it in at a tx nissan dealership to get it checked they told me my heads are messed up but they didn't even take off the valve covers to inspect they said they used some instrument to hear where the noise or damage was located and wanted to charge me 3k for install new heads. so i said no cuz it didn't make sense so i ended towing back to ks. where i am stationed and now its at this nissan dealership to get a second opinion and see if they say the same thing i think it just a faulty sensor or intake leak. cuz during driving my mpg go back to normal and my afr too. but at idle everything goes back to **** afr goes lean like to 16.0 and rpm drops. what do you guys think? i already read almost all the post on here about rough idles.

well i found out from nissan that i have plenum gasket leak thats why my idle was so rough so i ordered it already should be here tuesday and maybe in a week i can take the z to the shop to get the turbo kit installed. Cant wait to get video of the dyno runs. The only thing on my car right now is my kinetix hfc, megan racing y-pipe, agency power pulleys stock size, injen cai, and kinetix plenum v+. But hopefully this gasket replacement fixes my idle issue if not back to troubleshooting.

thanks man and GL on the install...you should check out the dyno at SRE I was telling you about. One thing I forgot to mention....SRE's dyno is in ground so you won't have your car slanted like you would @ wichita dyno so you'll have better oil circulation....

yeah i talk to ray but i think its cuz he works with wichita dyno in some way, cuz i brought up the new dyno that opened up. he said he prefers the dyno dynamics dynometer over the dyno jet. He said you get better reading on the dynamics for tuning and better numbers cuz you can adjust the inertia on the dyno for uphill and downhill tuning. So i stayed quiet cuz it sounded like he knew what he was talking about he also said thats what he had used for all his tunings especially is 1gen eclipse drag race car, and tuning a corvette and trans am with the sts kits and never had any problems. so we will find out if i like the tune if not i will probably go down to failsafe for a tune maybe.

Did anyone get to check out my car at ZDayZ? We got my car done just in time to get up there and reveal the build. It was the Blue Z with the LS2 swap, and twin Rear mount turbo. Bobby at CIN Motorsports and his crew did a freakin ridiculous awesome job on the car. It is a monster and so much fun to drive. I get looks and compliments everywhere i go and everyone wants to check out the set up. A full thread with pics and details will be posted soon. If you did get up there and got to check it out, I hope you liked it. let me know your thoughts.
Thanks guys.
Thanks guys.
