280zbeeT

that sounds amazing, and second I can afford it I will join and go.. but I just cant afford that right.. Ive looked all over google asking friends, no one seems to know haltech, except 2 people I know, 1 is I dont trust very much with my car.. the other I havent seen work on a car before, I just know he has 280z himself and tunes his own track car hes the one who said could work on my car with me and get it going.. the guy who said I should rebuild my car with the dished pistons and get it tuned in order for it to last, which I agree with but I dunno rather just use what I got and rebuild the other block with the dished pistons on the side..

Ahh yea I understand tony.. okay, I get it now.. Well good thing I havent even started this engine up yet! lol. And also the engine that came with the car was already blown before I got it, I just made it much worse.. It smoked very little at first, after a month or so it was Horrible.. heh. But yes, I know I have a alot to do, so do you agree with carjway as far as what I need to do? Or what would you do with it if you had your knowledge and the setup was yours? I dont know if anyone is in the san diego to LA area who can tune haltechs.. would you tony? thanks again buddy.

I have a Zetronics, It has AFR, EGT, Boost, Lambda. And Im not sure what you mean tony, I dont drive it like that every second I have the car. Its my daily driver, I dont abuse it. Carjway yea I agree, Im going to get you the maps, but I havent hooked up the laptop yet, I need to get on that.. but I figure I would wait till I get the car started, Ill try to do that this week then.. And yes Im gonna get a lighter spring, I need to look into what type, its currently a 17psi spring, so I thought just to buy a 10psi spring or maybe smaller? We put a 6psi spring in there in fact I think I have it, but I had this weird noise coming when the boost peeked and I let off the throttle kind of like loose air or something like that..

Ive never taken the boost over 14 (the first day I got the car I did unaware), the boost continues to rise on my wideband and would stop I imagine at 17psi because of the 17psi spring in the wastegate, basically I have been keeping an eye on my wide band and when it gets to 10psi, I let off the throttle.. So yes I need to get a smaller spring for the wastegate. When I bought the car, the guy said keep an eye on the wide band the haltech was tuned to 10psi, but it has a 17psi spring in the wastegate so keep and eye and dont let boost go higher then 10psi.. only thing I thought he had said 14psi, for whatever reason that is.. This is where I think most of the confusion started.. So that was my plan, to buy a smaller spring, and get the car tuned again..

You are right about a lot of things. A lot of things to respond to which I cannot do all at once right now. But yes, the boost keeps continuing to the rise and rise.. But I thought I could just buy a smalled spring?? Will that not fix the situation? if not then what Im suppose to buy a totally new waste gate? and as I said, right now I am running a NA cam, p90block, n42 flat tops. The previous setup was Exactly the same only difference was I had dished pistons n42 block, which I blew the ringlands on.. I cant find the post about fuel and spark?

thank you randy. That was my parts list of the car, on my notepad, In stead of editing it, since I do not have much time on the computer always I just copy and paste it. I know half that suff has nothing to do with the tune. Im not an idiot. My wastegate has a 17lb spring. I was planning on buying a 10lb spring. then tuning the car.. is that not possible? When I bought the car, the guy said the car is at 10psi and has a 17lb spring for when its ready to be tuned to 20psi like he planned. That is what I am telling you, what I know. As I said, I canot tune a haltech and never have gotten into that area of the car. As you can see I am still learning. And now, I am not like that. Me and mostly by good friend rebuilt the engine. Now I need to do the timing and haltech. Thats all, and Im not worried about him blowing my engine, hes a good friend of my brothers I just havent worked with him on my car before wich is why I mentioned what he said including the GT30r being to big along with the 550cc injectors for a flat top n42 block. wich is why I was curious to ask people who to me are professionals with these cars. And ya Zmanco, Im just trying to do this the right way, and so I dont need to keep doing this over an over.. I am running a NA cam, with a regular fel pro head gasket, I wish I used a thicker head gasket.. Its a NA cam with n42 flat top, p90head, with arp hardware.

some people just love to poke and poke.

You know I could go through posts Im sure you guys have made spelling errors as well, I am writing on the tiniest lap top with small keys since I dont have good access to a computer right now.. So yes, its a 17lb spring the HALTECH Was tuned to 10lbs, Thats all I know, since I have not ever tuned or hooked the haltech up.. So Im just telling you what I know and has been done to the car from the previous owner. Im parroting sales terms? Uhm Okay, no actually Im trying to learn and see different options and as the topic states get opinions from other people who have run a setups similar to mine? I might not know everything, and I am learning. Ive read and asked and spoken to and with so many people, and truly learned a lot. Sorry Im still learning. I wish more people were humbled down to size Anyways, Im not going to argue with anyone. Ya, I do keep going around in circles Carjway, Im getting some many opinions about ways to go with this car! and this guy I got hooked up with to finish my car with, he really bummed me out when he told me all that stuff about the car and that I need to have the dished pistons cus hes blown many of them, and I did speak with the past owner he said it does have a z31 distributor, and the haltech triggers the spark and the sequential injection as well.. so thats why I dont have a spark to my car because of the timing being off, its not sending a signal to the haltech for spark, thats what he said and thats kind of what I read on google too. Anyways thanks for all this advice, I do appreciate it. I will try to get that base map. I need to finish my timing first and get it running before I go to get the tune.

the car previous owner tuned it to 10lbs, but it has a 17lb spring, thats all I know.. Im gonna get a new tune tho.. however since the spring is 17, I get boost creep, the boost keep rising so I have to let off at 10lbs by reading my wideband.

Its tuned to 10lbs on my dished pistons n42 block, I switched to a flat top n42 block. The wastegate has a 17lb spring in it, for when the engine is ready to be tuned to 20lbs again. I dont see what is hard to understand tho, I try my best to write for people to understand what is confusing? Im just wondering what they think about the current setup, with the flat tops and all with the injectors and turbo etc. to avoid detonation, not sure how else to word my questions..

thats it? thats all I would have with the setup? I thought my Compression would be 9 or even 10!

can we get an estimate? around 600 ? or more?

I figure out the dizzy is from a Z31, and I guess the timing was off, so my haltech wasnt sending a signal for spark to the coil, so I gotta re do the timing.. but the the chain was to loose so we to the crank off for some reason, an now we cant get it back on the cam, so we gotta start over again.

I want these please PM me.prices are the factor for me.

well the MSD isnt in yet.. I have it, but tempted to switch coil pack, and he said that Haltech cannot retard timing During boost unless I upgrade to LS1 coil packs.. Also, ya thats what I was thinking start up to 93octane, and mix 100 with 91octane.. This is my only car, and daily driver by the way! so I need to loose some power to get more longevity out of it.. but now Im just scared to set up the engine.. I dont know if hes telling the truth now, before I was so excited but he kind of bummed me out.. my buddy with the stock turbo setup with flatops on a n42 block, is running 15lbs with flat tops, and hasnt had any issue.. and I read on here many other run flat tops too on there turbo setup, and Im guessing boost has nothing to do with detonation, 550cc injectors are fine as long as its insync with the rest of the components, I was thinking to buy a 10lb spring for the wastegat, and tune it to 10lbs, or get a re tune I mean.. and use the 93octane, low boost Im thinking that would work right?

So, today I met up with a guy whos going to help me finish my car. I have n42 block, .30bore p90head, NA cam, there both in good rebuilt condition, with brand new fel pro gasket set. Now, my buddy who wants to work on the car, is telling me with this setup below, Im going to blow this engine within a month or so.. The wastegate is setup for a 17lb spring, the haltech is tuned to 10lbs, I detonated my previous engine which had dished pistons as well, hes also telling me my MSD6a box will not do Anything that the Haltech cannot already do and Its a waste of time to finish building this engine and that I need to rebuilt my other block with dished pistons and do it that way in order for it to last as a Daily Driven car.. Now, I know Tony D and others here have turbo NA flat top high compression setups, and was wondering what they did different to make it last? The one thing he is saying, My 550cc Rx7 injectors are to big, and wrong for the setup, and the GT30r turbo is way to big as well and that is main reason I will detonate with the Flat top pistons.. Even saying my Fel pro Head gasket will Not work and will cause me to blow as well.. Can I please get some more opinions and advice on what you think about this? if you had this setup as I do below what would you do? I know Ive had a topic about building this setup, and if it will work etc. but as far as longevity goes, What if I got a new Tune, to 10lbs, and didnt boost anymore then 10lbs with my current setup?? Would that be safe as a daily driver? What do you guys think? thank you and I really appreciate everything you guys do for us newer guys.. I am going to keep reading on this issue. Also, I guess I cannot retard timing during boost since I have a Z31 distributor, and stock ignition coil unless I get the LS1 coil packs and the trigger wheel to connect to haltech.. I told him you know Ive head and read lots of people running this setup, with big injectors and big turbo and a good tune for daily driver and no detonation? so Im just so confused.. there So many damn opinions out there I dont know what to believe!

How do you adjust your engine to reach 7k rpm?? I have a NA cam, can you do it with any cam or you need to upgrade to a performance cam? sorry if this was already answered, I read this thread twice but dont exactly understand.

my car is smog exempt. the dmv changedf it to a 75, but its a 76.. build in 75 tho.

http://www.behrents.com/p/EAR510.html Is this what I am looking for?? but I dont understand which one it is, it says female thread, and for any engine.. but I dont understand if it works with a male thread comming out of the block?

I need a oil cooler adapter sandwich with a female threading to screw into the male threading comming out of the block.. I cant seem to find one anywhere, I have 2 of the male threaded sandwich adapters but as you can see in the picture it doesnt help.. any websites or places or do they even make it for this engine?? Im not sure what to exactly say when I ask for it either.. thanks for the help Ill keep searching.

here

Okay, so as you can see in the picture. my block looks like that (the oil filter part) IS MALE COMMING OUT OF THE BLOCK Now, I have 2 oil filter adapter sandwichs BUT THERE BOTH MALE THREADED GOING INTO THE BLOCK DOES ANYONE HAVE A FEMALE SIDE THAT SCREWS INTO THE BLOCK THAT WILL FIT ONTO THE BLOCK IN THE PICTURE? Or WHERE TO ORDER ONE? I NEED TO ORDER IT RIGHT NOW ASAP!!! Please let me know! kink15@hotmail.com THANKS!

anyone here who could or knows anyone who could help a brother out with a good longevity and power tune for my 280z gone l28et high comp. engine? lots an lots of mods, but worried about detonation.. I can pay, but I am in between jobs.. obviously I will pay, but if possibly could work somthing out or a deal that would be just so amazing. Please let me know. 760 802 9591, leave a msg for me, or email kink15@hotmail.com or just PM me, I check hybridz like 20times a day. thank you guys!

Okay to begine. This is my setup, ORIGINALLY the setup cam tuned on my haltech with a N42 block with DISHED standard pistons.. Okay, so I finished my rebuild, and engine swap. SO NOW I HAVE A N42 block with FLAT tops and .30 bore with haltech STILL TUNED TO THE PAST BLOCK (N42 WITH DISHED PISTONS) Now, my haltech is triggering my ignition and sequential injection.. THE PROBLEM We finished the build today, everything is hooked back up! BUT THE CAR WONT SPARK! I guess I am getting a SPARK TO THE DISTRIBUTOR BUT NOT TO THE CYLINDERS?? The car will not turn over!!! What could this be??? my buddy thinks my dizzy may be MESSED up, its not a normal dizzy tho! but its nothing special, yet we cant figure it out.. Its not from a turbo 280zx, cus he has that dizzy and its different.. mine does have a harness hooking up to it from the haltech as well.. what could I be missing?? I am so eager to get my car up an driving so I can start tuning it.. This is not our first swap, actually this is the 2nd engine we have transfered All my engine upgrades over to, and we never had this problem ONLY DIFFERENCE The only difference, is this time we put COMPLTELY new gaskets, so that means we had to take off the timing chain and start over on timing.. COULD THIS ISSUE BE BECAUSE MY TIMING IS NOT RIGHT?? My buddy is doing the timming, and claims it is TDC, but before that it was 180degrees.. Please give me any advice or ideas as of what this could be.. The dizzy was just put on this engine from my old engine about a week ago, and had NO PROBLEMS BEFORE The only differene now.. is I bought some NGK Platinum, G's with a .44 GAP COULD THIS CAUSE ANY SITUATION? I believe it.. and also off topic, but is this a safe gap?? THIS IS MY SETUP - I AM RUNNING STOCK COIL IGNITION TRIGGERED BY MY HALTECH no msd or LSX coils.. please advice. how would I be able to tell if it is my dizzy??? thanks you all! I will keep reading to find the answer!
