Im in san antonio and looking for someone to install my gears i bought, i know zsport members will say r&n but they wont do it and told me to use Nagolitos gear, they quoted me 495 and i got them down to 450, anybody know where i can get it done right for cheaper than this? i would be willing to go to austin if the price is right

 

i guess no one has done this mod in or around san antonio/austin?

 

WOW still no one? i might hold off on install and save up and get the Carbonetic Limited Slip Differential to really make the install cost worth it. but thanks for everyones thoughts and opinions.........

 

there are some DIY diff installs that should give you a general idea of what all it involves... If you were local man, Id help out, Im surprised no one has responded. Get the diff.. its a must, you'll have fun..

GL holmes..

 

yeah i want to carb lsd, i heard the quaife is good but i have the vlsd and i think there is some extra steps in swapping that out, but i'd be happy getting the carb lsd. i'll check into the DIY. did you go from an open diff to the Quaife? did you get yours installed in dfw? i have family up there i might make a trip of it if i need to.

 

ok so i read your DIY, it looks like i can do all that myself(w/ a friend helping) was the carb lsd any harder to install? and changing out the gears shouldnt be any more difficult. i will save the 450 and put it to the carb lsd

 

If in need of another pumpkin, vLSD or Open Diff, PM me
It will greatly decrease your downtime, and will enable you to take your time on the internals install.

 

heck ya, thats a nice option.....down time bites....

Yes I went from an open diff to the Quaife, and installed it on my own with some help, and you will need it.

The Carbonetic LSD was just as simple as the quaife

Very COOL!

Nothing beats taking your time and get it done right vs being in a hurry.

 

just an update i broke down and paid to get them put in, i went through the recomended brake in and man i love these gears, my best performance mod hands down. i feel it pull much harder all through the gears, and its real strong on the highway, when i cruising on the highway in 6th it almost feels like im in 5th, when i first got them on i kept checking to make sure i was in 6th. on the highway im still getting around 25-27mpg, i used to get 26-28mpg. i really dont understand why the Z didnt come with this stock or at least the 3.7 gears. well my next step is an uprev tune (christmas) for all my bolt ons and then headers(tax time)(re-tune). then maybe cams if i can convince the wife

 

UpRev will be worth it but if you could hold out longer, I would do the headers first and then the tune. You would save some money that way. I waited til I finished my bolt-ons on my G and then went to Uprev. Could not be any happier with it. I got pretty good gains but I was more happy with fixing my A/F ratio (was running crazy lean).

 

i thought they didnt charge you to get a re-tune? im just worried im running too lean as well, i dont mind going back twice but who knows maybe i will wait.

 

If they don't charge you for the retune, then for sure get it but I hadn't heard about free retunes .

 

yeah im really not sure if they charge for a re-tune but once i get closer if they do of cousre i will wait and get the headers first then tune, i see you live in cibolo, so do i, i wonder if i have seen you.........

 

$50 for a retune over the internets, $1XX for dyno tune

 

dyno retune is cheap enough that you don't want to screw up your engine running a stupid A/F ratio and probably pinging.

 

yeah cause i think i could use a tune, but another thing my freakin check engine light came on last night, so now i have to check into that and see how much money i need for this issue. hopefully nothing big.
