spanishfly Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 I am in need of a mechanic who knows way more than I do when it comes to fine tuning my 3.1 stroker. I live in the middle of nowhere so finding a knowledgeable zcar mechanic is easier said than done. I can bring the car to you and will pay good money to a GREAT mechanic who can tune my motor to it's full potential.I am halfway between Eureka and Yreka on the Klamath river, so if your a reasonable distance lets talk about specifics.

dexter72 Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 You might get a bit of help on here, if you let us know the details of your issue and whats in the Engine. Stock or Aftermarket Cam, Injector size, I see the airflow meter on it, Have you messed with that yet?. Spark plugs, and I see a Rising rate FPR.

NewZed Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 I think that's just a plain old later model Z/ZX FPR for EFI. You can even see the mounting plate, edge-on, hanging on the side. It is odd to have a stroker with a stock AFM on it though, considering the prevailing view that the stock AFM can barely handle a bigger cam. It looks like a stock engine except for the fuel rail. Who built it, where'd you get it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spanishfly Posted April 19, 2012 Author Share Posted April 19, 2012 (edited) You might get a bit of help on here, if you let us know the details of your issue and whats in the Engine. Stock or Aftermarket Cam, Injector size, I see the airflow meter on it, Have you messed with that yet?. Spark plugs, and I see a Rising rate FPR. Ld 28 crankshaft, l24 piston rods, arias 89mm(flat head with valve pocket),jdm timing set, N42 head 11/1 Compression,ported & polished,490/290 camshaft,arizona zcar performance oil pan. Engine built in Montebello,Ca. I know that the stock fuel and ignition system are inadequate and i will upgrade when money allows.I have the timimg set to 15* BDTC and am running 110 octane race gas through 270cc turbo injectors. JSK fuel rail rising rate fuel regulator,60mm TB,cold air intake, and 3 to 2 to 1 header. I will have to look to see what plugs I bought from napa. I have not messed with AFM,I do not own any specialty tools like a vacuum gauge.It is much faster than stock, idle is rough with a lope, I do not want to hurt the engine due to ignorance and the lack of true mechanical training. I have only built and restored Datsun 1600 roadsters in the past. I would love to find a 280z wizard within 3 hours drive who has much more knowledge and tools than I. I found a dyno shop in San Jose(6 hour drive)but cannot get an appointment until May 17th.I am sufficient at brake jobs,clutch work, and basic automotive.

Leon Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 Good luck. I suppose it's somewhat possible to use stock EFI, but no way in hell I'd want to even attempt that. Going with triples or standalone EFI is a much better solution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Racy1 Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 You might try Classic MotorSports in Santa Rosa. Ken Anderson has tuned my my Z in the past. He is very good with mikunis and fuel injection. Years ago I believe he did fuel injection tuning for Dave Rebello? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben280zx Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 Daft Innovation in Modesto had once tune and worked on Z I don't know if they do now. His name is Rich. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
