hey so my ecu is suppose to be in on friday i cant wait! lol but i have some issues.

i dont know where this goes to? i know it sounds bad but idk lol



and what goes on this nipple on the back of the balance tube.

Wow, you have a cali Z. I'd say leave it off, but I don't have alot of knowledge on cali motor's except for there emission laws are crazy. Just to be on the safe side I will ask a mechanic tomorrow to see what his input is on it.

Parts people at those places always suck. There's usually one person that know's what there doing. I know you should know that too cause we have both been there. What part store did you go too? Our advance down here has one of there computers set up to were you can look up your own parts. I know O'reilly sucks, they don't pay so they hire people that don't know anything, because the one's that do quit. One of the guys that use to work with me didn't even know what a spark plug wire was or spark plug.
I know O'reilly's does have a website and you can locate your parts online and have them sent to the store nearest you, or you could even take down the part # so the jack ass don't get it wrong.

That baby of yours is looking nice. I love that intake!! If I get a different answer about the egr temp I will let you know, but I don't see why you cant just block it off as well.

i hate people that work at parts houses that dont do their job. i gave them the EXACT ngk plug i need and they said they ordered it. got there totally not the right plug. thats what im waiting on to finish putting my engine bay back together.

question. i have a cali z so i have an egr temp sensor. but i deleted my egr so wth do i do with the temp sens. lol

well here she is right now.



here is the temp sensor. should i just connect it and put a brass cap on the sensor. or just not even connect it?

I never understood why they have so much of the metal tubing. You would think you would want less so there air could get to where it needs to be faster. how long do you think it will take to get you ecu done and back?

i sent my ecu off to jim wolf yesterday. CANT WAIT. had to grind the plenum down over the number 1 injector at 3 in the morning last night. but i dont have much left. radiator and hoses, intake tubes, fan, spark plugs, coil packs, injector clips which i have to sauder the 740 clips in. fix a connector that broke. i deleted ALOT of the useless metal tubing shit everywhere.

That's still a good bit, a little under 300hp more then stock. That will be nasty when shes running.

i just got off the phone with Ben Pila from jwt. he told me i should have about 520hp at the crank. if thats true lol. but im having a problem with one injector clip. there is no room for it to clip to the injector. so i have to either turn the injector around OR what i think im gonna have to do it grind the plenum down. because the throttle linkage might be in the way if i turn it around.

It makes sense about the turbos, even with stock turbines on there she is still going to have a good bit of hp. Plus, gt35r's are some aggressive (and expensive) turbines. I know the picture's don't have the clarity of what the motor really looks like in person, but it gives me a good concept. I know it has to look wicked in person. How much hp are you expecting to gain with the 740cc kit?

yea unfortunately. i dont have the money for the turbos i want right now. and im not gonna buy smaller ones and have to replace them later. my plan for this motor is done til it blows then jdm engine swap, and rebuild the motor in the car now to support and 900whp thats my goal.

ps the turbos i want are twin gt35r's

just painted the valve covers. it looked nasty with the aluminum dull sliver sticking through the plenum.



the coolant pipes and cas will be painted the same color as plenum and tb's. just put them back on so dont feel like taking them right back off as its just an rtv gasket.

pictures do no justice it looks so much better in person.

Now I can see why you went with painting the intake black, that red is just set off so nicely. Are your turbo's still stock?
