Damn J, nice job. i didn't even see this thread. I will join you soon enough with forced induction. hopefully, lol.

I'm glad you kept your car.

 

Probably Vortech tuner with UTEC, 440cc, and walbro 255 because I dont want to have to build my block for a turbo..

 

Nice man enjoy!

 

Thanks bro. Where you been???

 

You might wanna go with 600 injectors for futures. And What i know is SC is safer then turbo, but no guranteed your block will stay.

 

Hey Chef...with the new Vortech air filter do you think you can pull it out of your car from the top without taking out the blower? I'm curious because I have the old 350z air filter which is thicker and impossible to take out from the top...the newer kits have the skinnier G35 filters...

I'm curious because if it's small enough I will go ahead and get then new filter so it won't be such a beeyotch to clean my filter...

 

I haven't try yet, but i think i will damage the filter if i do that.

 

Congrat's Chef...Keep us updated on the tune progress.

 

+1 I can't wait to join the FI crowd

 

You dyno the car??

 

Thanks guys,

I haven't dyno the car yet. I was pretty busy wit packing up my stuff, work and had to say bye to my 8 months old kitten....

But I did setup the schedule on april 7, so I will post up the result.

* Both them are great sponsors!

And had rattle issue with my APS TD, passenger side pipe was hitting rear sway bar so i had to adjust the hanger little bit. Now, there is rattle from other side, i don't know if it's from vortech pipe or exhaust..But will figure later when i get down to shop.

I'm shopping for wideband now

Chefj

 

LOL! I have have the next model up Actron code reader...great product! You'll need it for FI diagnosis and the occasional irritating codes...

 

haha i haven't chance to use them yet, but it looks pretty simple.


Updated:

I decided to go with Haltech Wideband, not many reviews out there but i'm pretty sure haltech is one great product tho.

Anyone can recommmand a catch can to me??

 

The more I read this thread the more I realize I should start picking up my electronics soon.

Can't wait to see it all come together Chef!

Great thread

 

Thanks,

I got those gauges from one of chicagoz member

It won't hurt to picking up some electronics stuff before you go FI. Not a big money if you change your mine you can resell them later. But do not pick up injectors/fuel pump/spark plugs even you see good deal on them, i do recommand pick up new from shop that who will tune your G.

So are you planning to go TT? i remember you said you got to ride on one of chicagoz member's TT.


chefj

 

Thanks. I didn't know you're on ChicagoZ too! Cool. Yeah I rode in Tom's car over the weekend. The ride was amazing. The best way I can describe the torque in his car is like being on a roller coaster when it drops straight down at full speed!

It was like that only I was pinned in the seat lol. I doubt I'll build my car to his level but at least I can enjoy the benefits of having boost on my car when I need it.

Right now, I'm comparing a few kits (ST and TT) before I finally decide which is for me. I want a very mild tune very much stock like in reliability, drive ability and sound level. Somewhere in the mid 300s HP and TQ is fine.

I'm not ruling out Vortech either. I guess I would have to test drive each platform in my range to see which I would prefer best.

Next week I'm heading back to GRD to check out their shop car. They have an APS TT setup on a G coupe with 43K successful FI miles! When I heard that, I felt wow... I have to see it
