No, not yet. I received the EBC (will be wired through the Haltech) about 3 weeks ago, but have not had the time to install it. I was hoping to have some time after the BC coilover install, but that took about 5 hours (with rear camber arms) and I didn't feel like messing around with wiring at that point.

I will update you guys as soon as I do install and redyno.

My wife and I are enjoying the car alot though. It's hard to work on it when I would rather just drive it. Good thing we have a 6 month winter comming up.

I will have some more time soon though, the back yard is almost done ( I do all the work myself here too). Stamped concrete FTW:

 

looks great!!

 

You sure take nice pictures. The car is looking great Sasha its good to see you got the back yard finished as well.

 

Wow, awesome fabrication work.

 

Well guys, today I managed to get out to the track and made 4 pases.

Best was 14.2@102 with a 2.35 60' time. One thing I relized today is that, I NEED QUAIFE LSD. Every time I shift from first to second I end up spinning like crazy. So basically this tim of 14.2 is with spining through most of second. Initially I though it was the clutch, however I didn't have any issues third to fourt gear so it had to be the one tire fire problem

The LSD will get installed this winter, along with a JWT flywheel and clutch. I will bump the boost to 9psi then, beacause if I do it now my clutch will be toast.

The kit is working really well, I havn't had to touch anything really since the initial kink in the oil line from the turbo to scavenge pump.

 

Vid or Dyno sheet??????

 

cool man, but what psi u at? that trap is pretty low for being boosted isnt it...Before being boosted with just intake i was pullin 13.7@101...not to say the car isnt having trac. issues and what not but have u had it on a dyno? i havent read thru this whole thread

 

Dyno sheet is on the previous page, post #365. 320whp and 300tq. I really need to run 9psi to get in to the efficiency range of the turbo.


The best I could do last year when the car was stock is 15.4, the track is @2000' above sea level too so that makes a difference. Oh and I am only runing 5psi right now do to stock clutch.


I am just happy that the turbo kit is performing beatifully, nothing to worry about.

 

this is awesome man, im definitely in to get a video and hear all that custom exhaust work in action

 

Still, 320/300 are nice numbers for an inexpensive, reliable kit on a stock block. Nice work, Sasha (and nice yard, too!)

 

I am proud of you....you really finished it.....great job.

BTW:..are those your PINK Crocks in the pic above??

 

Thanks man, and it's just a matter of bumping the boost and retuning for whatever numbers I want. The turbo will support up to 500hp easly. I also made the fuel return system so I don't need to get bigger injectors either, just raise the fuel pressure.


I have now put about 7,000km on the kit without any issues. Just get in and drive, and I will have some better 1/4mile time on the 4th of September. My new (used actually) VLSD will be here next week so my traction will improve significanlty.


Thanks, sounds like you didn't think I would...dissapointing I guess this makes me one of only a hand full of people to do this, and the only one to put a turbo there..

you got me, those are actually my driving shoes.

 

I thought you were getting a Quafie? I would have sold you the VSLD I have sitting in my garage. I hope to be out at the track soon as well we should have another Alberta Castrol raceway meet before the end of the season.

 

Yeah, I thought about the Quaife and decided to go with the VLSD for now. Maybe down the road or this winter, you never know. This will be a quick swap (bought the entire diff. with stub axles).

I agree, we should def. have another Castrol meet. I plan on attending every one for the rest of the year. September 25th for sure, as it is my B-day treat.

 

How much would you charge for the intake and exhaust piping (409SS?)... I have been working on ideas for a ST and this looks like the one that I want. I love the fact this is all DIY. SO AWESOME.

 

Do to so many variables I would not be able to do just the intake and exhaust piping.

It all depends on the turbo and intercooler, because these two items determine how all the piping goes.

So the kit would have to include the turbo and IC.


BTW, I did bump the boost to 7psi, and holly carap does that thing move now. I will have to redyno too, I don't know how much the stock clutch can take. New one is on standby just in case.

 

Im thinking precision pt67 and your setup.

 

So do you mind me asking what source you used for all your fab parts? 350z header flanges, flex pipes, U-bends, etc...

 

The internet. I basically shoped around, some stuff I got from a local shop but mostly online.

Keep in mind that I had to pay a crap load to get things shipped to Canada.

 

Figure that the TN kits could run 8~9psi safely and stock clutches held up OK, so you may be able to get to 9psi on the stocker and beat it until it quits on you at some point.
