yeah... it isn't very traditional HMT (dig through the junkyard for parts) style, but it is for the most part DIY HMT style. I pieced together the whole kit myself.... and definitely got things for a good price. Other than the precision machining work, i did all of the assembly myself. My dad & friends helped out with some of the fabricating & welding. I tune narrow throttle on my own, & had WOT tuned on the dyno. I told them to tune it to just get it running well until I upgrade ignition.

My goal is/was to see how much power i can make with the stock ecu and not have to be fixing a blown engine every month. It took me about 2 years to get it this far. slow and steady wins the race.

you did pretty well with that 350z. impressive. My favorite one is the srt-4 race though. good job

jinxy

nice ssauto setup,

hotrex

ssautopoopie is responsible for you making less hp

shmaptoe

---- man you held real good with the 350z. good stuff.


id look into diff management though, wouldnt wanna see anything happen to that motor because of a vafc......

yeah... when i bought the manifold, i didn't know any better. this is actually the 2nd one they sent to me... the first one butsted at the wastegate stem... so, they sent me a re-inforced one in it's place...... nevertheless, it works and i'll continue to use it until i (attempt) to make a new one. this friday, i should have more footage, and saturday, i should have some dyno footage.

just a question for everyone..... does that red hatch i raced appear to be what these guys claimed... just a "stock engine" i have a feeling he was spraying... i've never seen an LS hatch move like that.

theres no way that Hatch has a stock LS in it.

Almost sound like vtec x-over. but definately NOT a stock LS. You would have destroyed him.

dude i was watching your tach in the race against the 350. why does it look like your shifting at like 7800 ish ??

dragon

can't wait

yeah... i'm pretty sure it's an LS though, i kinda got a glimpse of the valve cover when he had the hood popped.... him and his friends all surrounded around the engine bay so we couldn't see under the hood... so shady!

umm... i guess probably because i'm a shitty driver? usually i try shifting at 8200.... perhaps i was just paying too much attention to the sickass car shooting fireballs next to me.
