oh, and in N/A mode on the way back to my house... I couldn't rev up passed 4100 RPM's.... anyone got a clue on that? Add another log to the fire...

 

that belt took two of my right fingers(truth) i hate those things. did that bov flutter?

 

Yes, the BOV does flutter.... it sounds funny at first, but at least I know its working. However, I didn't get to try a run without the BOV and back to the procharger by-pass valve due to, as you can see, a broken belt...

And I'm kinda confused... like the belt actually took your fingers off? That would be crazy if so... damn

 

Yup there's your problem right there...

 

haha, well it seems that that is the general opinion here... well they did the motor, and that seems to be working great. I just feel that they weren't too family with the procharger kit for the 350z, and tuning it properly... oh well

 

not many people are familiar with the ATI kits. There's not many of the kits out there

I don't know much about the mechanics they currently have, but their management is probably the same people and will still probably try to rip you off and give you empty promises.

From what I've heard from other local AZ Z/G people and personally experienced, vivid is known for some pretty bad screw ups and then glossing over them bragging about how awesome they did on their website even though the customer was extremely pissed off at them and had to take their car to someone else to fix their mess.

In the past they've charged people for things they didn't really do or were too ambitious about what they thought they could do vs what they actually were capable of installing. But they'd charge you for it anyway whether they did the job or not while screwing up your parts in the process.


word of mouth can be a ***** sometimes...
on the other hand, they have one of the only tuners in AZ willing to tune a UTEC if I remember right, though I think there's a couple other local AZ people that'll tune it now

 

Right, I can agree that the tuner was very willing to work with the UTEC, and from what I understand, he is good with it. I just think the lack of experience with the ATI kit might have led to a short coming in the tuning process. I'm not taking anything away from anybody. Every car is different, as well as every set up. However, this thing should be producing more power than it does, with the issues ironed out. I mean, not being able to rev up to redline as the good lord intended, doesn't seem fitting of a tuned car. And now so, in N/A mode, it won't even rev passed 4100 RPM... anyone got a clue on this? Is it limp mode? Do I need a computer reset? I'm feeling like I might just return my car to stock.... very discouraged...

 

any new help out there or is everyone full of turkey...

oh, by the way... I ordered a Justin 880 belt... and they actually make a 900 length! That might work on the smooth to smooth side for the tensioner...

 

anything new?

 

BUMP!!!

Any updates??? I too am about to push the ATI to its limits would like to know what path to take on my project

 

dont know if this applies HOWEVER, i was trying to et the ecu layout and on JWT website they have a page about an ecu bug for the high boost fi setups that is around 4700,

Well my car gets a little hairy between 2000 and 3000 rpm, depending on how much gas you are giving it. But after that it takes off... and hard too. I pulled 12 PSI at 6000 rpm's, but then I waved bye-bye to a brand new belt. I really don't know how to keep from shredding belts. However, I my car threw a code, and once I clear it, the code still comes back, and I have a weird acceleration problem around 4100 rpms... I'm about to give that article a read, so maybe you can help me. Thanks
