I've had a turbine wheel let go from the shaft at full boost. It gouged the inside of the housing pretty good but there's no way it's coming through it.

What KTM said. Saying T3/4 is as vauge as saying 4 cylinder engine.

Ya, some flyback problems with MS, another drawback of MS. They shouldn't even offer it. It's another one of there experiments. It took me 10 minutes in my garage to get the SDS accel close to perfect, 1/2 hr on a dyno for load. It has taken a year to get the MS accel setting close to ok without it bucking. I know sds doesn't compare to MS as far as tuneablity but there are much better systems out there now if someone wants to spend a little more and doesn't want to have to learn every single aspect of MS. I have no idea how SDS works but if I spent the time working instead of learning about MS which is pretty much required, I could have bought Motec:mrgreen:. It is cheap but it's cheap for a reason, 12x12 window, one configurable output. Maybe more if the led outputs can handle the load, but to find out it takes a day of research. I'm happy with it as it was cheap (I'm a cheap guy) and better than the Toyota system but if I was busy and wanted easy to hook up I wouldn't have done it.

If you have to ask, it's probably going to turn out bad. I've done quite a few and I think it's easier rebuilding an engine or trans than setting up a diff. You need a press, bearing seperater, dial indicator, calipers or mic, and an assortment of shims to adjust the pinion height and backlash. Then you have to get the pattern right and with out experience that can take some time to get right. I would guess 95% of professional mechanics haven't set up a diff. I would either buy a 4.36 diff or bring it to a drivetrain shop that does alot of diffs.

I second that. Once MS is running it's fine. It's just having to learn every single thing about it (pages of info), loading it, and setting it up. I spent less time installing and tunning my SDS than just setting up MS. Tunning MS is easy though, it's just getting it to that point. If you don't have a lot of time to spend, I would not do MS.

I have seen threads were people say you can run cop with the waste spark ignitor, if they don't have built in ignitors. I don't know how well it charges the coils. I have also seen threads were people run dual edis. I would try firing the cop coils with the edis but check the MS forum. I haven't been on their boards in a while.

I would put a later IR alt on it. Simple to hook up.

As 1 fast Z said. Edis is easy and works great. You can't do flat shift or launch control but i think that is the only down side and that is only if you drag race. Unless someone else has done MS with an Rb CAS and can walk you through it, it might be a pita to get it going. This place has a bunch of edis wheels if you go that route. http://www.diyautotune.com/catalog/trigger-wheels-c-48.html

Naps Z's did come with efi on atleast 3 models. If it were a decent engine they would not have scrapped it for the better KA.

As long as it's not intercooled.

It is a restriction in the exhaust. Big restriction with a stock T3. Even off boost mileage would be worst.

You wouldn't tune it to be lean under all conditions, just cruise. No different than tunning an engine to be stoich at cruise. Under load you add fuel.

How much boost? 10 psi or 30 psi. Big difference. I know 1 fast Z sonic tests his to bore the max. He could answer, oh wait he's banned. maybe some one else has FIRST HAND experience boring to the limit with turbo and high boost?

I think it's just the graph scale that makes it look peaky. His starts around 2100 and makes 310 ft/lbs, about what yours does.

The cars are heavy and few do anything with them other than straight line. You are just using the front suspension though.

My $.02. If you did a good job on the body work, spend a little more and do it right. Auto paint is uv resistant. Rustoleum is cheap for a reason. I painted my trailer with rustoleum about 6 years ago, it's a trailer so I didn't care. It used to be gloss white. It's not so glossy now. If I did this on my Z I would regret the few $100 I would have saved as I would be doing it again.

I've run RA1's, Pirelli Corsa's, and V700's on the street. They all grip better than a non R comp on the street, even cold. Mine isn't a daily driver but I do get enough mileage out of them that that's all I'll run on it, I don't even think twice about driving from Az to Ca every year. I was autoxing about 5 times a year. I ran my ra1's on the street until they had less tread than your V700's until I flat spotted one beyond driveable. Arz on here has run V710's, V700's and R6's on the street. I know he runs them until they are slick too, it doesn't rain here. He did run a Falken Azenis on the front but wanted softer and went with R6's, even on the street.

I should say unless it's a track car. On a street car, 15's IMO, don't fill the wheel well that great without lowering it lower than you will want on the street. There's also not a lot of options in 15" perfomance tires. I would look into what brand you want first and be sure you aren't going to want something softer later as it may not be available in the size you want, also check other brands, the one you pick might discontinue and then you'll be even more limited. In the early 90's I had 15x7 Rikens and wish I bought 16x7's after seeing them one a Z. 15" tires were pretty easy to come by then too.

I guess I got off topic. It is hard to express some things on a forum without it coming across in a way that it was intended. I wasn't trying to point to you, I hope you didn't take it like that. I've never seen you talk down to someone and I hope you didn't think I was pointing to you or anyone in particular. I have seen quite a few posts that weren't so friendly from others that could have been handled alot better, if the intention of this board is an information party. I'm not talking about posts by rebels either. The school thing is a reference. I have seen some mods talk to poeple as if they are 12. When you are 12 it may work, but when you are an adult and someone comes across like that it doesn't work as well and usually makes things worse. Talking to someone as they are your equal but a little out of line will get people further. Yes, I know there are many people with authority. I am old enough to know this and have made it through life so far without too much trouble. If someone feels they deserve automatic respect because of there title, job discription, social class, or whatever, that's were I have a problem and butt heads. Respect does not go hand in hand with authority. One can obey the rules but still have no respect for those that make them. This goes for the real world or Hybrid. I meant, the members make the forums. If half of the high posting, knowledgable, helpfull ones left. Hybrid wouldn't be quite the same, other than the name. The attitude some take is, if you don't like it leave. If we all left there wouldn't be much left to moderate. This may be a dictatorship but we don't need a visa to go somewhere else. The way some actions are taken, the guests don't always seem apprecaited. I do completely agree that rebels aren't wanted.

This couldn't be more true. Without the guest there isn't much of a party. I know this is the view a few mods on here have. I respect those that treat others as equals and give respect back. Plus, this is not school, it's party:-D. Those that feel they deserve respect usaully treat and talk to others as if they are the parents. That can cause problems with the guests and isn't the best way to approach a guest. I rarely see the party throwers talk to someone as they are a guest (friend). I have seen them talk to people as though they are the cops, not very host like.

I've run puck disks with stock pressure plates. It will hold alot more torque. On a 7m set up I went from slipping at 23 psi to being able to hold 28 psi before it slipped. About an extra 100 ft/lbs with just a 6 puck. Engaugement is not as nice with either sprung or solid pucks without that marcel though.

You may regret 15's.

Wow

Apparently it's not backfiring now? Either way, if it had too much fuel it wouldn't be backfiring except on decel. It would just chug if it was way to rich everywhere else. If it's out the intake it's lean if it's fuel related.

To the wheels? I don't see a gt35r making that unless he went bigger.
