and... WOW!!!!!!!

The install took a long time but there was nothing really "hard" about it...

I feel paranoid about using wot until I get it tuned even though it should be okay...

My ECU is tuned by technosquare for N/A applications so I need to go have it detuned, but I put in 96 octane for now and it seems to be running fine... I feel paranoid about using wot until I get it tuned even though it should be okay...

I contacted Split Second since they're located in Irvine and I'm gonna have them tune my ecu since they're the ones who made it they have to know how to tune it well.. Right??

Well Just thought I'd submit my review which is a 10. My gas mileage is soaring down because I love the sound of the bov... It's totally worth it, what an awesome toy.

Did I mention I bought the supercharger from a guy in Newport Beach for $2200 polished with all parts... Plus, the supercharger was acting up when he took it out so he sent it in and vortech rebuilt the whole thing so it's pretty much new... The guy I bought it from was 68!!

 

Forget Split Second and get a UTEC to tune

 

congrats

BTW get a tune asap

 

If his ECU is flashed by technosquare and does not switch maps or adapt as the stock ECU does, then a tune using a piggyback might be ok. I would check with technosquare...

 

awesome! the install must have been fairly quick.

howd those tools work out for ya? when ya get a chance please leave itrader.

pics man! got any during the install? I love the bpv sound as well!

 

WHy do people say stuff like this ?????? Have you ran a split second box ?

You are just repeating someone else that doesnt know that it is perfectly capably to handling the SCer's power .

 

Is Utec not the best piggyback for a Z?

 

Tuned, Dynoed, and vids please!!!!!

 

i personally dont like the fact of raising the PSI on the fuel system to ungodly levels and forcing the stock injectors to keep up. the SS box is a very simple effective tool it self, its the FMU that comes hand in hand with it that i dont like.

 

Are you still doing cars with very large injectors and keeping the returnLESS fuel system . How are thoughs car holding up ?

 

ZERO issues so far. only for stock blocks though. we have a couple with built motors but i try to make sure they get RFS when they do a build for safety reasons.

 

Cool...it seems to be a very good option for the Vortech and single turbo guys not wanting to push it to its limits .

 

booger, i suggest you go read the forum sticky about FI behavior. No need to make personal attacks against a shop.

 

hahaha, i think you misread that chris...

 

You took it way wrong....dont even know how you could even think it was a insult or confronting

 

i know, i was laughing cause there is no way you can take that wrong unless you add in a lot of extra words.

in that case, maybe YOU should read the FI rules there Chris

 

because theres a lot of negative discussion against PF about not using a RFS with vortech kits. It came across to me as if emphasis was put on STILL in your first sentence and then your second sentence came about a bit sarcastic somewhat.

sry for the confusion if thats not what you meant by it. No nuthugging here, see the sig.

 

Maybe Jeremy can comment on this , but I dont really think you need to have technosquare flash your tune back to stock . If they advanced the timing 2 degree's and you know it . When you have the SS box tuned for your car . Just let the tuner know it so he can pull that extra timing back out in the SS box .

Either way...have fun and enjoy the car !

 

yes!! you do need it flashed back to stock with the SS box. or get a utec and have it tuned and not worry about it

 

there was only a little bit of negative discussion a little while ago, we have well over 25 car stock blocks running this same setup now with zero issues.
