How's the build going bro and I messaged u if u can message me back thanks

 

Yes?

 

If u can email me @ danny_14@live.fr

 

no.

 

Ok im getting a turbo xs management ecu And might be getting a lc-1 wideband when I have everything would I need anything else to download my map to start tuning I know it's a s newbee question but u got to start somewhere

 

Wow, this is frickin awesome. Best of luck with this man. You rock! Hopefully, I will be able to do this in the future. I'm slowly building my mechanical skill level up to that point.

 

Laptop with windows xp to use Hyperterminal. UTI-me from jeffsoftware to incorporate lc-1 with Utec. 2x belkin serial to usb cables(dont use any other brand)

 

does uti work with all windows ?

 

I would assume so. It's just connecting the UTEC to anything that's not a windows xp hyperterminal. I tried other programs in windows 7 and I could never get it to connect. I bought an old laptop with xp on it that won't even hold a charge for less than $50 and works great for the UTEC

 

Hmm if you used a windows 7 machine and had it run the program in "XP compatibility mode" I wonder if it would work for ya?

 

Last time I tuned on a Utec I used PuTTY instead of HT.

I also didn't need a serial port adapter or serial cable -- the UTEC had a USB port so I used a plain old USB cable and it showed up as a regular COM port in windows. Left it tucked up in the dash in case so I don't have to pull the UTEC down any more.

 

Car is back together with 6psi spring installed(instead of 5). Car feels slower than before. I didn't have wideband gauge hooked up so it may be fuel related, but my map should be good up to 10psi.

I've been driving my bike around lately when usually I barely drive it so maybe that's why it feels slow.

A/C line is also fixed, but can't run a sway bar with it(well I could, but I would have had to have the car down even longer to route the hose under the sub-frame) Honestly, I can't notice a handling difference. If I did auto-x I'm sure I could then

 

How many miles are on your motor and trans again? And any pics of how it looks currently

 

145K-ISH

No new pics. Took one of the ghetto a/c line I fabbed up, but that's about it. Nothing exciting to see

 

Jw did you compression test and or leak down test your car before doing it? Or just said f it lol

 

F it : ) Car pulled a 13.8 before turbo, so with that I'm assuming compression was good

 

Haha sweet, so bottom line if one were to go the budget semi reliable turbo route, would you suggest going threw same route as your self? Or world you change any of the factors involved such add tuning? Sorry to chew your ear of dude lol and I said f it too when I boosted my 140xxx ka24 240 on 8psi all day on a gt2871r ~~~ haha

 

I MIGHT have done a custom rear or midmount set-up instead.
I barely had to modify the tune to work since it's already on the UTEC website for this kit.

 

u think if I run that tune on my z for a while it'll last ?? I would run it hard just twice a month though

 

As far as the AFR goes it's fine and there are no knocks. Out of the box it was running too rich in boost. I only had to shift the entire map over about 2psi to fix the issue
