Overkill Z

Just by reading about your wanting a daily drive i would REALLY consider a L28et. IT will BOLT in... you put big injectors, big turbo,maybe cams/intercoolers....you will pull from an SR at half the price AND half the difficulty scale. Parts will be cheaper and easier to get your hands on... your car will be down for HALF the time and you can drive it to work.

nope considering its just in parts i couldnt imagine paying someone to build a car like this lol......i was hoping to do the build for 10 grand tho

Good Q... i had to track down a REAR sump pan

Just look at my thread and see if its something you want to undertake LOL

WORKS sounded like they made some progress on the car today. There were many small issues it seems. Some Of the pin outs on the ECu block had to be moved around. MANY grounds Were not flowing voltage well. The Stock tune on the ecu was not good enough for my motor. PLus im sure MANY other small things they didnt even go into. But Apparently the car Revs completey to redline now 6-7000 rpms. It still has some hiccups along the rpm band tho....should i let them continue with a tune?

LOL you have not been used!!!!!!!!!!! the car is still at Works....i talked to them Yesterday and they said they found "anomalies" in the wiring. I have no idea what that means but they said they tested the sensors and found them to be working properly. BUT i just talked to a good friend today (who has a 800hp+ lsc300) And he told me to ask them if they used a Lab scop on the crank sensor to see if the single was changing at all at the rev limit. Apparently you can test a crank sensor's restisntance and it still be in spec but still be a bad sensor. So i have to call them back tomarrow and check and see what kind of test they did to my sensors.

ya iv already changed it once and works plans to change it again. They told me yesturday that they had a couple guys on the car and came up with some ideas we are going to go over today.

i do have a feeling its going to be multiple little problems that need to be attacked one by one

i dont know what the AFR is but i do know it USED to be 10-1 lol

it did rev perfectly until 2000 rpms then hit the "brick wall". But since WORKS changed the tuning on the ecu it now revs to 3500rpms and hits a "brick wall". Wouldnt this fact alone cancel out a mechanical problem like the teeth not meshing up with the sensor correctly? Also they stated when driving the car under load it seems to limit around 2500 rpms now.

Well WORKS has the car now and they have gone trough the maps extensively. The car now revs to 3500 rpms instead of 2000 rpms. So we have come to the conclusion there are at least two problems. --- the tune was making it limit at 2000rpms. Which is now fixed. By swappn ECU's with my friend it limited at 3500rpms as well. but it now limits at 3500 so they are going to go into the sensors.

Not it wouldnt slowly get worse before the rev limit....it would reve just fine until it hits a "brick wall". Right now the car is at WORKS getting run through...i hope they can find something. where are you located?

I got my motor off a company that was on ebay..but they had a PHONE number so i called it in!!!! search and search and only by from a phone number...i got mine from some canadian company but just talking on the phone with someone you get a feel for what they know/dont know bout the motor they are selling you.

i know when i got it to rev to 3500 it let out a HUGE blow off....it sounded RAD but i stilllllllll cant drive the thing yet..... but when i get it respectably boosting and driving i will make a tire shredding video!

if you go 2jz defiantly get the betamotorsports cross member..... it saved me many hours in my install!

well that would be a "change" to the ecu then
