Well, it has been nearly a year since Mike and company installed my Procharger. I have had one year of absolutely trouble free driving.

The early Procharger buyers were having a lot of trouble since the kit has no answer to the timing issue. No one knew this and several engines unfortunately went down as a result.

I don't know why my car was spared. It may be because Mike tuned me fairly conservatively (on the rich side). It might be because I rarely race the car. It might be due to the fact that I ALWAYS used 94 octane fuel. It might be a combination of all of this but either way, I was one of the lucky ones.

So, before my luck runs out, my car now sits 290 miles from home in the shop of Altered Atmosphere Motorsports in Gaithersburg, MD.

As I type this, The Brick will once again be going under the knife at AAM. This time I plan on getting some upgrades to the fuel system, the ECU flash and the 9 psi pulley installed. I am also getting an A/F sensor/gauge installed.

I am getting the AAM Spec total fuel solution put in. Read all about it here:

I am also getting the Walbro 255LPH fuel pump and the RC440 injectors.

I am going with the FJO A/F gauge and Bosch O2 sensor. A pic of the gauge is posted below.

I will be getting the ATI 9 psi pulley installed along with the TS ECU flash for FI. This will finally address the timing issue and tune me as aggressively but safely as possible.

I will keep you all posted after the install with a full write up on my latest venture along with some pics!

Stay "tuned"

 

Cool, I am contemplating fuel upgrades as well so please post the results.
Do the new rails take the 440 injectors with no mods?
I was going to get them too since they are much cheaper than the PE 380's but I didnt want to not be able to put the old injector back on.

 

The new rails will take to RC440's.

Here is the quote from their thread:

"New to the plate are our billet aluminum 350Z fuel rails. They are engineered to accept both factory and RC Engineering injectors. We’ve made several significant design updates over the factory rails to help ensure the injectors have plenty of fuel available to them. These rails can be used in a custom RETURN style system or can be purchased with our fuel adapters to mate to the factory fuel system (the factory fuel rail adapters are not currently available)."

 

Good Luck Bonz!! What are you shooting for to the wheels? How much do you think you can squeeze out with the 9lb pulley.

 

I'd be happy with 400 RWHP I suppose. I would take more if they FORCE it on me though!

 

AAM doe great work I had my TT installed there. My car is also there right now getting some more goodies installed!!!

 

Which one was yours Badabing? I was looking around in the shop on Monday when I dropped mine off.

 

The silver one with the enkei PK6

 

Oh yeah, I saw that one! It was the one way in the back that was getting a bunch of body work done on it. Yeah, there were sparks flying all over the place. I had never actually seen a grinding wheel work in person before. Really cool!




J/K

 

Well, I picked up the car today. Before I give you my full impression, I'll post all of the pertinant pics.

First of all, it was rainy all the way down to MD and I'm glad I wasn't one of these unfortunate folks:

I'm going to post all of the install pics. Please hold off on posting until I give you the all clear for continuity's sake:
