  1. Thanks for the compliments guys!

     

    The color is Jet Stream Blue from the newer corvettes. As far as the headlights go, I made them myself. All I did was retrofit a pair of tiburon projectors into a cheap ebay housing. I believe I have a right up here somewhere about them.

  2. I also had similar problems. Where is your ignition coil located compared to your TPS? Also Matt had me run a 12v wire straight from my battery to a specific spot on the board(i will have to check some emails to figure out which one it is to). That solved my problem.

  3. Did you run a compression test to see if everything is correct after putting the motor back together? Are you sure there isnt a boost leak somewhere? Did you check fuel pressure? Go over the basics and make sure the small things are working correctly.

  4. Update: 27 Nov 2011

     

    Engine: 1981 Turbo motor freshly rebuilt. Isky Turbo cam. Stock bottom end with some port blending in the head. Backed by my stock N/A 83ZX tranny

    (This thing whistles like a referee!)

     

    Exhaust: 3" Mandrel bent downpipe......(no more to it than that)

     

    Electronics: MegaSquirt II PCB 3.57 running fuel and spark. Stock 82 turbo dizzy. Innovate LC-1 wideband.

  5. First off, I want to thank HBZ for my initial good start in my Naval career. I joined the NAVY 3 months ago as a Nuclear Engineer and was picked as a machinest mate(aka nuke mechanic). The mass of technical information that I have learned from this website within the past 3 years has more than benefited me in my class and studies. So far, pretty much everything I have been taught in A school has been talked about on HybridZ.

     

    So how has HBZ helped you in life, other than Z car related items?

  6. I'm not posting in the MegaSquirt section because it does not matter what stand alone system I am using to get a proper tune.

     

    And funny you should ask about the wideband. Yes, I have one. And above 5800 rpms has been extremely rich....as in 9.2:1 rich. I have been tuning this out and she is pulling really nice up to 7000rpms now.

     

    Thanks :D

  7. Of course they don't offer them off the shelf, but that doesn't mean they won't you make you a custom set. (what they have been doing for years now) Until we get confirmation that they won't custom make you a set of 17's, we can't say they don't.

     

    I did ask them if they could make a custom set for me.......and they said no. Then I said, "So there is no way you could get me a 17" wheel?". Then they proceeded to say, "......No."
