To me, it sounds like you are pretty clueless about this. I think you are just asking for trouble if you choose to install this yourself. Are you comfortable with pulling the motor out of the car?
I know that it's not absolutely necessary, but there IS a reason why so many shops choose to do so.

yeah.. i saw that later when i clicked on the link,

so..is it mutch work to get the engine out? i think i should to it perhaps.. as im allready going to remove the tranny so..

your gonna spend more money when you blow your engine due to faulty install!!! if you have no mechanical skills this is not the way to learn... i understand you are trying to save money..

do not deviate from my 4 step plan or grave consequences befall you.

Fixed :thumbup:

That's what I did and I'm happy. :)

SIR_pierre 01-23-2009 08:16 AM

yes of course.everything cost 3 times as much here in sweden
.plus that i have no no trust for the workshops around here (there actually only one that does tuning, and when i leaved my car there for welding of my exhaust..the bill was the doubble of a new Nismo exhaust)

so now you see what i mean with that i dont want to pay for their education. anymore..

thing is that my friend got a workshop,tools and everything but has never done anything with turbos, thats just the issue .

so i just want to know step by step how you work with turbos..

but now atleast i have diceded that we will lift out the engine.


i have NGK Iridium LFR6AIX-116619 sparks..are they good enough?

So you're saying, we should get a UTEC instead of UTEC. Whats the difference exactly?:icon18:

Try going to M5board.com or M6board.com, i saw a couple of races on youtube and i think its in sweden, if it is, contact them and maybe their TUNER/MECHANIC can give you a hand installing the KIT or recommend you to somebody, its the only thing i can think of.........

yes i know 2 workshops that does alot of tuning om Evo´s and etc but they are far far from me. over 10 hours one way to drive and i dont even have a working transmission.. but i have asked for a ca price on a installation with the parts i need.

Cass007 01-23-2009 12:27 PM

10 hours isn't horrible. people drive that to go to Forged, IP and GTM all the time. I drive almost 4 hours to get to my tuner. It seems like a small price to pay for piece of mind :dunno:.

SIR_pierre 01-24-2009 10:35 AM

so..are my sparks (NGK Iridium LFR6AIX-116619 )good enough? are a UTEC ECU MUTCH better then a Greddy E ultimate?

superchargedg 01-24-2009 11:37 AM

Spark plugs are fine and yes the utec is better imo.

SIR_pierre 01-24-2009 11:43 AM

but in with way are the utec better? becuse if i buy it i will be standing with one e ultimate and 1 blue manage ...

350z-Jim 01-24-2009 11:50 AM

I thought it was illegal to modify a car in Sweden. Are you making a race only car or will you drive with TT on the street?

Just drive (or tow) your car to the shop to have it installed. You will save A LOT more money in the long run!

Sell the emange and purchased a utec. Hell purchase a used one if you want to save money. There are alot of people using the utec so support is easy to find, and with a bit of reading you can find out how to tune it yourself without a problem. Looking in the tuning section and you will find a long thread dedicated to the Utec.

2slo2bfurious 01-24-2009 06:32 PM

Since it seems that you have been forewarned and still want to do it yourself, its really not rocket science so don't be discouraged....

You get a service manual first, get the crappy greddy manual, make sure you will have another ride for downtime and mishaps, and jump in since you already have the tools....

....a couple of things that cross my mind at the moment:

If you have a lift, take the motor and tranny out the bottom.

In addition to the kit, imo your bare minimums will be a BOV w/ flange, UTEC w/ map sensor, a/f gauge, and NGK 1 step colders. I'm sure theres also other tidbits like vacuum line, stuff to wire your a/f gauge...etc.

Make sure you finish your shopping before you start, since running back and forth to the store, or even waiting for parts is awefully time consuming.

If you are disconnecting the steering column and dropping the motor out the bottom, make sure you don't turn it it at ALL! You'll get a slip light that can only be fixed at the dealer with a consult.

AND most importantly make sure you have a way to tune your car before you even consider touching anything!



....there's alot of other things, but overall just make sure you pay attention to details, if you are really bad at this. Keep organized, and if you find that something is frustrating take a break and come back later and do it right. Don't halfa$$ anything. You will regret it later. Good luck!
