***UPDATE 30 September 2009***

Well guys it's been a year and couple of months since I took the plunge. I am very happy to say that my DE motor is holding up very well. I didn't toy with my boost levels too much. My initial tune was @ 8.7psi, which put me at about 405WHP with the DJ conversion. I ended up installing 3" test pipes around January and turned the boost up to 10psi to see what she would do. It put down about 385 WHP on the superflow. Unfortunately the DJ conversion wasn't working that day, but for comparison when I made 405WHP with the DJ conversion, the superflow number was 351 WHP. Currently I am at 9psi and loving it. My AFR is consistent and to be honest, I have had zero problems as far as my turbo kit and tuning is concerned.

My engine seems to be holding up well, my performance has not been degraded and everything seems to be working fine. The one issue I had was with the Cam sensor, it was giving me slip, engine, and brake lights on my dash. Replaced that and all was good. Installed a Setrab oil cooler, and switched to the Turbo XS RFL, and picked up the GTM intercooler gauge. Did some minor things here and there. Rolling on Enkie NTO3's now. Got my out of state plates which is a must here in SoCal. Other than that, car runs well, nothing crazy power wise, but just very thankful for how reliable she is.

I joined RareJDM and I must say that it has been a fun experience working with Dave and Darren and the rest of th guys. They are actually teaching me how to work on the car which I appreciate so much. Thanks to RareJDM, Zack, Gabe, Dave, Darren and the rest of the guys. Big ups to Cheston and Technosquare, you guys are the best.

***End Update***


I wanted to post my PE TT results and my overall experience to this date. I love driving this car and I wish I could explain how fun it is to drive. I honestly don't see how some of you 500+ guys do it, lol. Thank you to the many people that I have hounded information from and that have helped me accomplish this. Thank you Cesar Torres for a great kit that was brand new and for helping me make some pretty pricey decisions. Cheston, you are a great guy and without your help and guidance, I'm not sure where I would be with the Z right now, thank you for all your help. I have learned so much from many members and their dedication to the Z community, guys like Cheston, Alberto, Luie, Taurran, and soooooo many more, you guys are what makes this site worth it and a plethora of knowledge. Just reading your threads gives me headaches...

I have to say that it is a luxory to be in Socal where there are some great places that I can go to for honest and great work. The place I chose was Technosquare and they did a great job. Tadashi is awesome and the car is powerful and reliable, if there is such a thing, lol. Seriously, I had a great experience as a customer at Technosquare and couldn't be happier.

I had two dyno runs at Technosquare the black lines are my first run at I believe just around 8psi. I still had stock cats and a modified Greddy Evo2 Exhaust. The second run is at 8.7psi with Crawford HFC's and the AAM 3" dual exhaust. the Z made 351.3 whp and 316.8 trq on the Superflow and 405.2 whp and 365.5 trq on the Dyno Jet conversion. Here is a link to the dyno and some pictures. Thank you everyone!!!!

thats some crazy top end gain with that 3" exhaust!!

see you soon with my laptop!

 

this **** is loud...ive been in his car

 

congrats on the tt setup and numbers! +1 for the guys @ Techno Square for their awesome service

 

hopefully its not too loud. thats a surefire way to get that ref ticket and an impounded car.

congrats on the new power!

 

Looks like Michael J Fox drew that dyno graph by hand

 

Congrats on the build.

 

Good stuff, nice clean Z. Nice TQ curve it comes on sooo early. Be safe and enjoy it

 

Thanks guys. I love driving it, the exhaust is a little much, may eventually go with something else. I am so happy that I did this. I know there may be headaches to come, but actually being able to enjoy the car was completely worth every penny.

Thanks Cheston, I'll give you a call so we can meet up!

 

Are you using the Technosquare reflash?

Don't see you mentioning anything on EMS.

 

Kal go with the 3" from Fast Intentions.

 

Congrats man...careful w/ the sound around the Po's...love the PLX stuff....

 

Nice to see another boosted Z in So Cal, enjoy and be careful if you DD your car.

 

If you were to register in another state as home of record you wouldn't have to worry about emissions and all that police ref tickets(military perks ftw), just a suggestion. Congrats on the power and hope you enjoy the kit.

 

^ thats exactly what he is doing...

 

If you aren't in the military, dont even try to dodge CA registration. If you get caught its a huge fine.
