Very Nice. Good job!

Finally got some numbers for you guys. I took it to the dyno last thursday and put down 511whp & 454wtq on 8psi. I want to run 20psi. I'm not able to go over 8 psi yet. I'm trying to figure that out currently. I hit the same boost with the ams-1000 set to add 7psi or 30psi to the spring pressure. I want to see if a small a/r exhaust housing is available. I took it to the track friday night and got three passes in. All three were 11.1 @ 132~133mph. I haven't setup the 2 step yet but on the t-brake it would hit about 4 psi then ramp up to 8 at 6500 then hold 8 threw 2nd gear. Ams-1000 ebc is still set to add 20psi to the top port on the wastegate. I'm pretty happy overall with my first shake down passes. I drove it 45min's to the track, clicked off three passes and drove 45min's home. Nothing broke, the car went straight and mph is about what I expect. 2 tenths would have been nice though. lol.

That thing is awesome!

It looks really good!

Very Nice!

Good luck! It would be awesome if you got some video of the runs and posted them.

I say put in the v8 and then turbo that. That's the route I went.

Nice project and work space.

how many do you need? 6, 8?

You have built an amazing machine lvsalt

I have tuned a couple cars that have done what your car is doing in the video. In my experience it was the electronic boost controller causing the problem. If you set the boost activation too high it will fluctuate the controller on and off. Ie: your target boost is set to 25 psi and you activation psi is set to 24psi or higher. The activation is too close to the control point. Try setting the activation down to 15 or 20 psi.

Thank you very much Eric. Great name by the way. The oil pan fits great. I can fit my hand between the frame and pan. I did have to swing the motor into place when installing it though. The fuel rail has a third brace on either side holding it to the intake elbow now. I could lift the motor from the rails now. lol (maybe not). It was really great meeting fellow z owners and in such an inviting atmosphere. I hope to attend many more meets. You can come by whenever. Weekends are best. I'll pm you my number. Now for a small update. First up is a video I did last week. Its of me testing the transbrake out. I finally installed the brake kit from silverminemotors.com. It has vented and sloted 300zx rotors with custom adapter plates and toyota 4 piston calipers. It is a really nice looking kit. Before After I also picked up some wheel spacers and some extended lugs. I went to oreilly auto and after some trial and error came up with some dorman 610-320 studs.

That is funny. Thanks stony. I look forward to seeing your red coming together too.

Thats pretty damn sexy!!

I got some new toys. I order a Simpson parachute with Competition Engineering's mounting kits. I also have a RCI window net to install. Coil #1 had been intermitten and I have seen good results with these newer 4 gen truck coils. I built some better straps to hold the front lip and close up the front gap a bit. I ended up taking about an inch off the front block off plates after the adjustment. I think it looks alot better now. I need to pick up some sheet metal so I can enclose the fuel cell per nhra rules. Then I can take this thing to the track. I have a lot stuff to install now.

The transmission was still leaking from the front seal so after some research I found a better solution to mate the powerglide/converter to the lq4. It is a factory GM hub adapter. Mike went threw the tranny again and put a new front seal. Unfortunately I had to use a factory flexplate too. We also put in a TCI flexplate sheild for some added protection. Big thanks to Mike and Josh, you guys are awesome.

I would say its either the fuel pump or voltage going to the fuel pump. Can you log the voltage. Just because a fuel pump is new doesn't mean it can't go bad.

I want to paint mine lambo orange.

It is coming along nicely. I have some rust above my tail lights in the same place and have been trying to figure out how to tackle it. Your pictures are a great guide. Thanks.

Just to put the info out there. I'm running a c5 corvette oil pan (bat wing). It fits great. I don't have to worry about header clearance though because I'm running forward facing manifolds for a turbo.

Its not suppose to be my daily but it has become it lately. (I wish I kept the a/c right about now.) My Bravada died.

I does sound amazing. good job!

It depends on your goals ultimately. The lq4 has larger cc combustion chambers that yield less compression so that is why they make less power. I wanted a lq4 for that exact reason and the iron block is a lot stronger so I could throw boost at it.

looks like a really fun time. Gorgeous shots in front of the waterfall.
