Rep Power: 280

test runs where? I need some lol

 
Rep Power: 254

lmao, when was the last time yours was running? 2-3yrs?

 
Rep Power: 285

sorry for the late reply. I have been out driving it around. Just putting some miles on it. I went to my friends shop to show it off, and was invited to show it off in a car show on saturday. I told him no. Im going to be busy with Dan building the rest of my turbo kit.

But it still drives great. The clutch seems to be breaking in nicely. It still chatters, but nowhere near as bad as before. I have about 130 miles on it now.

My wastegate has a 0.8 BAR spring. So the least amount of boost i can run is ~12 psi. So daily driving should be fun. I am looking for about 15 psi daily once the car is completely tuned. But it should be fun.

Here is a short list of some of the parts i am using on my car. I have more, i just cant remember them off the top of my head. Also, i have a TON of XRP fittings im not including in here.

MSD 45 GPH fuel pump

Custom 2.5 inch; exhaust with a 31 inch; resonator and matrix muffler

I figured the exhaust would be bigger than a 2.5" setup. Is 3 inch piping unneccesary?

 
Rep Power: 285

As soon as i save up a bit more money, i will buy an E-cutout.

I dont want a loud car, so a large exhaust is out of the question. Plus i plan on driving this car when i have a kid, so i dont want it waking them up from a sleep (although my damn fuel pump is loud as ****!)

But the e-cutout will replace the full exhaust. Should work great.

 
Rep Power: 0

e-cutouts are pretty cool... i saw an altima with one at a 909 meet a couple years ago...

we should dynomat your firewall to muffle the sound of your fuel pump...

i have an idea that also has to do with a daily driver fuel setup... I'll hit you up tonight if you're on AIM about it..

 
Rep Power: 360

congrats!!1!!one

you should try to get a video up too!

 
Rep Power: 285

I could take a vid, but its nothing special. Sounds like a normal civic, with one hell of a fuel pump whine.

Dan, i wont be on AIM tonight. I am in class right now, and will be here for the next 3 hours. Its a Media Technology in American Society class.

But yea, lemme know about your idea for the fuel setup. But my fuel pump is actually located just underneath my shifter. I think dynamat may still help. But we can put it inside the car so i dont have to un-bolt the damn pump cuz its a pain in the ***.

 
Rep Power: 314

thats fvking sexy

 
Rep Power: 0

Damn Mike. It sounds like quite a bit has gone on since I last checked these boards out. Hopefully I'll be buying a turbo kit for my new Z by this weekend or next (I'm gonna wait until I have over 3k miles on my car before install). Give me a call. I gotta check your setup out.


EDIT: That is pretty hot

 
Rep Power: 294

^^^^^ Dam Garrett you better come by more often. I wanna see the z when its done don't forget about the 7thgeners.

 
Rep Power: 285

Garrett..... Dan (Iamboo), Rob (oldschool homie from SF who left with me) and i are going to be building the rest of the turbo setup this weekend. You are more than welcome to come over.

I FINALLY got my payment through for my wideband today. So i wont have it til next week. So no boost until i get it. But it will still be on the car and functional.

so when your boost setup is done are you gonna start the 10 second civic club? only member, you? hahaha

 
Rep Power: 285

lol. I am hoping for the 12 second club within a month and a half. And then within the next 6 months the 11 second club.

I think the members of the 11 second club will be Me and Andy within the first 6 months.

 
Rep Power: 280

What about me :-( i wanna be in the 11 sec club.

 
Rep Power: 336

you could do it, after the head swap and alot of boost.

 
Rep Power: 285

yea. I think you would need a little more than an M45 to do that though. Or are you running an M62? (im too lazy to look )

Anyone who can produce a timeslip can join the 13 sec club or create any of the others.

 
Rep Power: 280

I Actually belive its the MP62. on jacksons page its JR62 lol. But I should at least be in the 12 sec club, when i get a full tune and come down to Palmdale on the 8th. ill let yah know lol

Ok, I'll hit you up on Saturday.

I hate your rich friend.

But you might want to tell him to send a PM to 350zDCalb over at

www.my350z.com

They're building Z motors and are supposed to be offering some really discounted prices. Their website isn't up yet but it's going to be:

Rep Power: 336

yea well turboengnr here is tellin me how poor he is over AIM. wtf is what i had to say. if you own a 13 second car then you are not poor. hahahahaha

 
Rep Power: 294

Don't forget about me Mike. I hope to be just with you in the 12 second club and then try for 11's also. Can't wait for us to have a 12 second club. Gonna be sweet.

 
Rep Power: 0

Dude. He's married! He doesn't own a 13 second car. His wife does. She just let's him work on it.

 
Rep Power: 285

^^ you know he is right....

But yea, if anyone wants to meet up at IDRC, i will be with team Controlled Inertia underneath a few Easy-Ups. Im the skinny white guy named Mike.

There are 2 of us skinny white guys named mike on the team, so you have a 50% chance that it will be me.

Just look for the easyups with the black twin turbocharged 350z, black T76 powered Supra, Blue GT35R stroked Celica GTS, Black STi, and others near it.

 
Rep Power: 336

good point. when he divorces her he will give me the title to the car so she don't own his *** in court.
