Only mere hours of work away from running. Figured id wait until its this far to even bother to show everyone.

things left; transmission, driveshaft, E-fan hooked up, run boost gauge vacum through firewall, install "turbo 3000" plenum cover, put hood on, fill with fluids. And exhaust

[Joel]

call me when it runs... jk man, I assume you found that injector clip you came in to look for? Congrats man, hurry up and get it running so you can prove everyone wrong!

[Rexwagon]

sweet.

Not trying to be a douche, but its still gonna be slow . lol

whens it gonna be done?

[GarageAlchemist]

and then trouble shooting...

[JN210]

Well, im hoping to get it completely done within the next few weeks...before summer REALLY hits haha. yea joel, I just used some safety wire and wrapped it around the clip and it worked fine. I dont think it will be THAT slow haha, about as "quick" as my northstar haha. Ive got 460cc injectors, and a walbro fuel pump standing by, waiting to put that in until im happy with the setup ive got and after running it for awhile. Would still need a NIStune board on my ECU, install my OBX fuel pressure regulator, something to adjust the boost pressure and air/fuel ratio with (wideband controller) and a bigger turbo if I want to go bigger than 300rwhp. As for troubleshooting it, it shouldnt be that hard, ive got a ECU swapped in from a turbo car thats wires are identical to mine, troubleshooting will be nothing more than a few hours in an FSM.

thanks guys! finally some positive comments lol

see you all on the streets soon

In for this...

[Rexwagon]

well good luck. hope to see it drivin soon

You're waiting to put the bigger injectors in? What are you running now stockers? Why are you waiting if you allready have them exactly? Good luck with the rest of your build, hopefully it goes good for you and actually gets done this time lol

I've always been a fan of doing things in steps on turbo cars. That way, it feels faster longer lol

Agreed.

Also, if he gets the car running with the stock z31 turbo stuff installed, he will know he did all the turbo swap stuff correctly. That way if he has issues he can find them while the car is kinda stock vs. dealing with not having a tune for the larger injectors and other stuff, as the car should fire up fine and run good with the stock items.

exactly! less things to troubleshoot haha.

[kylush]

Ok, that makes sense. Less stuff to tweak and mess with right away. I just wasn't sure what the stock Z31 injectors were capable of and how much you can actually do with them before upgrading them.

All little steps do is cost $$$$$$

[inspector01]

I love that you couldn't just wait until it was actually done and running......

It all costs money dipshit.

[Joel]

building a car big and getting bored with it right away can be expensive too!

I'm proof of this.....I have zero desire to make my car run, even though I'm about 12 hours away from it being complete.

[GarageAlchemist]

build it the way you want it!

Would have been sweet with a GT35R
