Here's a pic of the custom Y-pipe made to marry my BP kit with Invidia True Dual Exhaust. Not the best pics but oh well.

I'll try and make a video of the car running and how exhaust sounds as soon as possible. Just need to make the time for it.

 

Please do man! It looks like it would sound sweet!

 

Looks great man post up the video lol. On a side note I lent the car to my dad and he destroyed my front end supposedly hitting a pot hole, so the car is going to be in the shop for a couple of weeks. I was thinking of adding a set of headers and a Titan R1 exhaust. Do any of you guys know any good tunners in the southwest?

 

Which headers because most will fail with the heat FI creates. They'll either crack or the welds will fail. If you plan on going over 500whp and building the engine then sure... go for it, otherwise it be a waste of money.

 

I have not heard from any of my customers having this issue. The headers on my car are also aftermarket and have held up just fine.

Remember that with the mid mount kit, there is no extra weight added to the headers, since the down pipe hanger takes care of all this.

 

guess someone should tell my megans they are supposed to be cracked, same with jeff and his cheapos and several other people who use headers with FI

 

If he plans on doing his own work then go for it I guess but headers are a pita to change on our cars and shops will charge an arm and a leg to do it for you. Even if he installs them himself, I still think it's not worth the time and money for the gains he'll get with them on a stock block. Now if he plans on building the block and going for over 500whp then sure go for it.


Just my 2 kilos

 

Witch headers are u running Sasha?, and this is down the road probably by the end of the summer. I dont plan building the block right now, Im happy with the top end I make right now. I just wanted a slightly quicker spool. I think my late spool has to do with my tunning, the transition from vaccum to boost is sudden, there is nothing in between AFR wise. I also have a problem with running lean on bank 2 for some reason witch Jeff has helped me diagnose. Im between faulty o2 sensor or a fuel pressure thing.

 

Just want to say CONGRATS on ur build.. I'm also from EL PASO but currently in Colorado do to the military!! I also have a turbo Z but never posted my build, just haven't had the time to put it in the forum maybe on Friday ill put a update on my build with pics- well hope u fix all the bugs to enjoy the car!!

 

I think i narrowed down the problem i just need some time to work it out man what kit are you running? also did u tune it here in EP? looking forward to the pics man

 

well i hope u found the problem man.. Im currently running the GREDDY TWIN TURBO 20G!! NO, i got my tune up in Denver-flash my ecu with UpReV and runs really GOOD no issues.. I just downloaded the pics from my phone so ill be uploading them 2morrow onto the forum.. so hows the progress?

 

SInce the car is in the shop i cant do anything right now ill check the header gasket whenever i get it back, its really anoying too cus I just switched jobs and theres a window of a week that im doing nothing but cant work on the Z!

HOw much power are you putting down with the kit?

 

Well im running on stock internals so i kept it on low boost at 5 psi and finals numbers r 420hp to the wheels.. So any news on ur car.. Heres the link to my build.

Not yet man i still waiting on the adjuster, i guess they're busy this time of year. Im probably going to be carless for a month. That said i cant wait to drive it again man, i went to the strip the day before it was crashed and i pulled a 14.2 at 110 which may sound horrible but considering i didnt even slip the tires in first and would only rev to 6k i think is pretty good.

 

Well this is when all the crazies come out to play lol.. That's not bad man what kind of tires were u running at the time!! Is that ur rev limit at 6? Man trying running ur car up in Colorado-the high altitude kills cars up here man.

 

Yea even here in ep with 3800 ft you can feel the difference. My rev limit is 7.5k but i try not to take it that far for the engines sake. I have 275s all around on varrstoens but they break loose quick even when i was na i couldnt do hard launches, I need to go back with my Nittos and maybe be a little braver and Im pretty sure i can get to mid 13s.

 

I hate these elevation bro it kills r cars lol.. There's a 2013 5.0 mustang running up here and can't even get into the 13s he ran a 14.2 stock!! I don't blame man I take mine at like 6.5 or 7 never the full rev!! How much r ur NITTOS and what type.. U could get it up there, I've seen them run good down there... I'm in the need of some tires they won't stick to the ground at all

 

Yup thats what my buddys 5.0 runs too he even has 3.73s and an lsd on his. My nittos were 400 i did get them from someone not a tyre shop, theyre NT01s they hook pretty well they subtracted half a sec when i was NA

 

Any updates on this build? Did you ever get closer to 400? Any headers or exhaust? what other performance mods do you have?

 

Still havent gotten any work done on the car its still in the shop. I did dig up a pic of some of the dyno pulls.
