  1. right now it doesnt run well enough to check timing

     

    Mike, I don't see anywhere that you responded to stony's suggestion to check your timing. I believe timing was the exact same reason streetfighter's 2JZ kept overheating when he first got it going. It would start up and run fine so we had plenty of time to hunt down the issue but we never checked the timing; a week of frustration for him as he finished up other parts and he finally got Justin Ninny(?) to recheck the base tune and found the timing was all out of wack. The overheating stopped and he picked up over 100HP or so before they really got to work on the tuning.
  2. well i already have replaced the thermostat i dont get it the car runs like crap now...thought it may be the spark plugs fowled but i took them out and cleaned them and it didnt make a difference. when i started to over heat it got to 220 degrees then i shut it down...could i have damaged something at that temp? i dont think i could have but i dunno

  3. Today i got the car running with the AEM EMS installed. The smoke is almost gone without even tuning the motor at idol. I have to re-install the ecu through the firewall and then possibly take it for a spin and start tuning!!!! one problem i found now that its running better is it over heats!!! i must have air in the system... any ideas????

  4. I just Ordered my AEM EMS system from Turbochargers.com Had to take out a small loan on the credit card to do it even tho i got a great deal on it!! THANKS JOHN.

    Seriously guys call up Turbochargers.com and get stuff from them... I have used them a few times on this build and have been great!

    As for the EMS...NOW i gotta learn how to use it!!!! anyone got and maps they could send me?

  5. alright driving the Z around now...a bad cam sensor and incorrect wiring on the #2 cylinder injector were giving me huge problems....now i feel the HKS VPC and GCC set up i am running is way to inadequate for my 1000cc injectors.... at Idol the car puts out enough black smoke to fill the street. i have set both the VPC and GCC to max LEAN and it doesnt seem to help. am i doing something wrong or do i REALLY need to buy a 2,000 dollar computor??????
