Default Yet another Powerlab kit in progress.

Slowly but surely its commen along.

Yet another Powerlab kit in progress.-dsc00215.jpg

Tomorrows plans are to finish the intercooler pipping and run the vacuum lines. Not 100% sure where to get it tuned still (BTW i went with the haltech instead). Anyone have any suggestions? I was going to travel to AAM for Jeremy but he's no longer there. So now i'm looking for somewhere in NJ, NY, or PA (thanks in advance). I'll post more pictures as i finish up.

Yeah i already have the haltech... i called vinny ten a while ago, he told me the haltech and hydra was a little to much for just a stock block and the powerlab kit. So yeah... A friend recommended me to RT Tuning or Import Intelligence.

Good job buddy, just make sure that before you finish up that that CHRA is rotated to as close to as 0 degrees as possible. Almost to the point where the drain is almost touching the T3 flange

PS GT350R would have been a cool license plate too.

WOW....this thread is crazy

1. Turbotrix has a HORRIBLE reputation among many people at the meets I go to, I live 3 miles away from them and I took my car to VA for F:T.

2. PF supercars is in MD

3. The guy has a NY licence plate, why is he getting emissions done in NJ?

4. There is no such thing as overkill for an EMS, the more features, the more power and safety from the system with the right tune.

Hahaha well i know i'm in jersey but my car is actually registered and insured under my company in Manhattan NY (cheaper insurance cause we got a lot of vans and i'm only 21). That explains my GT35R plates in the first picture. So in the city i should find a place if i pay a little bit more money....Hopefully

OP, since you have the Haltech I think you should find a local shop where you can rent some dyno time and then fly Hal from Injected out to tune your car, he is willing to travel to tune. He is pretty much the Haltech guru and will give you a quality tune.

You should be able to find a faily cheap commuter flight and it may be a push in terms of driving the car all the way to MD or VA to get tuned. Just my opinion.

Plus, having someone who is very familiar with your setup would be beneficial to give your complete install a once over and fix any minor issues you may have.

Agreed. Alot of people i've met with Suby's and Mitus's do not recommend them and that's what they "specialize" in. while i have no experience or need as of yet to have them do work for me i still would not want to be a testing mule for them. With that said it may be better to take a ride to them first and decide for yourself. Who knows maybe they have raised they're level of expereince with tuning VQ's(but that has yet to be heard on here my350z)which IMO is the toughest test to pass . Pf supercars is very well known in the RX community and are known to have tuned some solid cars.

xxtuning doesnt do haltech....... you could go to haltechs website and look for someone close to you but i wouldnt let someone tune it whos never tuned a Z. Id let someone whos tuned a Z and never touched the software tune the car over someone whos used the software but never tuned a Z.... IMO

Rent a uhaul trailer and a truck, tow it to Lexington KY.

Injected Performance, it'll be done better than anywhere on that Haltech at a reasonable price.

Just do a one way rental, and drive you new ride home. DONE!
