Chebosto: Thanks for the Help bro! your advice have been priceless!

daytona350z : i cant the car will be at SEMA. it leaves for Vegas Saturday.

john350Z: Thanks bro! Your car looks a lot better although now the batmobile's a bit faster.

sands & Mike: Thanks for the links!

The car isnt even fully tuned it will just probably run 4 psi. Theres just no time to tune it coz it needs to be at SEMA. More tuning will be done after that, theres also a lil issue about heat.

 

A little issue about what, heat? That does not sound very good. With the FMIC, I figured that the engine would run a little warm, but this sounds worse. Can you be a little bit more descriptive? Also, if the FMIC is not controlling heat, what do you plan to use? Thanks and looking good.

 

the only real issue is that the intercooler is taking alot of frontal nose area.. and the radiator is suffering a bit. but not too badly... as a protective measure, a louvered hood like the hasemi sport hood or similar can adequately releave some heat from the engine bay...

i stated before, oil temps were around 115C peak.. oil cooler would be nice... but the larger oil pan with fins (that do come with the kit) should help a little bit...

 

Hey BBBT how long did it take to install the whole kit?

 

I got this hood smilar to that. SEIBON makes it for the Z. It helps solve the heat Issues. We were in such a rush to get the car from PE to Borla so they can bring it SEMA that we did even have a chance to have fun with the car. Or take pics of the hood.

1st impressions of the Kit while driving 100 Miles going back home is posted now on the link provided on the 1st page.

It took a JDM Mechanic (LoL) the actual PE Engineer from Japan 2 days straight to Install the Kit. He was by himself. He was flown in so he can Install the 1st US production kit in time to be displayed at SEMA. He did it pretty fast considering that he was all alone and he didnt use his own tools (if youre a mechanic you'll know how frustrating this is).

 

turcoupe
the pe kit is released this is the first finished one, i believe theres another out here for cheston.

 

Okay so, if the PE kit is released to the public, how much is the kit, and will anybody (professional shops) be able to install it.........I would assume for the entire job, kit, and installation we are looking at approx 8 G's ....just a guess, is that about right?

 

I wanna see pics of that style hood on your Z. I like the look alot!
