sweet! MBA at?

 

u better visit me and quamen dammit!! haha i still got the navigator if u want it bro

 

Quick trip to wisconsin. Flew out early on thursday. We actually got more snow here on monday that I had seen all of december in racine.





Ordered this from treadstone to replace the stock plastic piece. The stock plastic piece has a very small lip and with the huge tbolts I was using it was hard to get a good grip on the tube. I had it pop off while driving...not fun. Also it eliminates 1 sealing surface which could be a leak prone surface.

Slowly working on the car. Just ordered some more parts to help get her back on the road.

 

Just ordered a haltech, dual widebands and boost solenoid. Selling utec, bc and innovate wideband.

Got the DW300 pump on order too! I think the last thing I am worried will hold me back is the oem fuel feed line.

I think I have tipped this into a serious build rather than a budget build. Anyone agree?

 

Agreed. Love this thread btw.

 

installed a oil catch can too.



Vented and routes from the drilled out pcv on the passenger side VC to the rear of the drivers side vc.

 

Looks pretty damn good!

 

Fired her up last night. Got a SES light and tons of smoke out the exhaust.

Wonder if it has anything to do with my PCV modifications and catch can?

Wideband said it was running 14.8 to 15.1 at idle.

Will be able to get clips of the ARC exhaust soon. Fixed my leak issue.

 

oh yeah!

 

oh snap!! where are u going to get it tuned?

 

very nice

 

get a little snow last night? So glad i didnt have to fly to Wisconsin this week. My coworker did, and he is stuck!

view from his window:



Talked to Hal at Dynosty about tuning. I like their rates and the fact that they know the haltech well.

Biggest thing to do now is install it and get her running off the haltech/dual wb/and boost control solenoid and then sell my utec/innovate wb/hks evc-s. I hate wiring, just hate it. This will give me a chance to clean up my current setup though.

I cant wait to take advantage of the haltech features. I just love how everything is integrated into one unit and that it can control everything. I was a bit skeptical about running the utec and 800cc injectors.

 

Awesome build! Lots of the same parts I'm using, and many that I plan on getting as money allows. Can't wait to see results!

Let me know if I can help with the wiring. I'm a n00b with all things electrical so this would be good for me to experience. Anyway, I'm glad to see you decided to do it right and go for a stand-alone EMS. Your wallet will thank you later.

 

funny coming from an electrical engineer. you guy need to come up to nc some time and hang out. plus you can help me with my calc homework.

 

I made all the wideband switch over and stuff. Wiring is a PITA so i feel your pain but it's so much cleaner now that i finally did it.

Let me know when you head to injected. I'm needing to head there this spring also to finish up some big numbers. Maybe we can head the same week and meet up.

 

lol calc. I dislike calc more than wiring. I guess the hardest part about wiring is having the right stuff to do it with. I bought a delphi Weatherpack connector kit, 3 colors of wire and some spade lugs. Took all day today but I gutted my old WB/boost controller and installed the dual setup and new BC. I also took the time to clean up my existing gauge wiring. Using the weather pack connectors I made it so that I can quickly disconnect all my gauges and reconnect them. I also used different pin plugs/configs for each gauge so theres now way to mess up when reconnecting.


If I dont get there by the End of Feb it would probably be in august. I will be spending March - July in Dalls/Ft worth area for work. IP/Dynosty is about a 5-6hr drive for me so It will be a Fri-sat trip. I have about 280 miles on the motor/clutch and would like to have 750-1k before I go to get tuned.

My install diagram:



From all the documents I downloaded they talk about installing the gauge and installing the controller to the ECU but never a clear cut diagram on how to wire both. They kinda dance around the subject a bit.

Cant wait to see how the haltech works in my car. May swap the 800cc injectors now rather than waiting.

 

Cux350z, one thing you might want to update/change... bank1 refers to passenger side, with cyl 1,3,5.

 

i just used barrier strips with spades on end of each wire. 2 seconds to reconfig any wiring

 

Thanks. I updated it in the drawing.

I use barrier strips as well. I have two mounted behind my guage plate in the oem nav cubby. I can reconfig, make jumpers and land two wires on one terminal there. I then run the weatherpack connector between the gauge and the barrier strip to make life easy.

Hopefully this is the last wiring job I have to do.
