350Z Running strong.
Well I got my car back again and Seth@Sonic did an awesome job to get my car running after a defective part was found
This guy does not sleep and does top quality work...lol but I am very happy with how things are turning out, there was some problems due to me wanting the newest parts out but everything was fixed and I got a chance to drive around for about 10 miles so far checking it all out and so far everything is ruining how it should. If everything goes to plan the next visit will include bigger injectors, fuel system and a bump to 12psi probably in the next few weeks.
Now to devise a plan to get 1000 miles with minimal stop lights...hmmmmm

Nope it varies a lot. It's not all the time so I don't know. I'm gonna continue to put miles on it then do a compression test later. I don't think its the engine tho.

420 miles, smoke is gone and that's a good sign. It must have just been the rings setting in place. Could also have been the catch can I installed, who knows. Just waiting on Sonic to figure out how and when we can shoot for the 500WHP mark. Until the GTK series Turbo upgrades come out, if ever. I will be limited to about 500 unless I go custom.
Good new is more people have been up to 650WHP on stock sleeves.
And I will be upgrading my clutch line this weekend because I have been boiling my fluid and the pedal has been sticking to the ground preventing my 1000 mile goal.

The 550's will help alot on the power end and I think with the current setup you have the turbo will be out of its efficency rang long before you max out the injectors.
What fuel system did you go with and did you get the walbro 255 fuel pump? That helps cut the fuel starvation and low fuel pressure when you start putting the power down.
You may want to ask arround on how to set up the pressure guage to the UTEC. It was tricky for some, or so I've read. But once you got it it seems to be working fine for most people.
The plug and play clips are definately a good thing to have. They just prevent future wiring issues.
Sounds like every thing is comming together and Im getting left behind because of the shipping issues for the engine.

I went with the CJ Motorsports Fuel return sys that supports up to 550WHP.
The Turbonetics kit came with a 255 fuel pump so thats already taken care of the only thing I wonder about is that the canister is modified with a couple of 5/8 holes drilled in based on what the TN kit told me to do so I don't know if that will be a issue later.
What pressure gauge do you mean for the UTEC? I already have a MAP sensor that supports up to 70psi installed so if you mean fuel pressure that's new to me. I figured just use a old standard dial gauge for tuning based on whatever Seth wants to do.
I am most likely looking at a mid April tune session now because I may not get my car on the road again for another week due to the clutch line and I want to diagnose the Passenger side rear tire noise that may be a wheel bearing about to die. Minor issues tho.

I'm curious to see what your setup can do. Sounds real mean bro.
