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.

Can I get a 3.3L with that?
Only if i can toss in installation for free. -
Got it running last night, no vids though, got an antifreeze leak, but that was expected. No other leaks as far as I can see, transmission sealed good, no oil, power sttering fluid. Turbo spools great and sounds great, working on installing a ford taurus fan for more cooling. No exhaust on it but am thinking of going with a 3in turbo back stianless. It was running pretty rough at first but after messing with the distributer and turning it, she smoothed out and sounds lovely.
I DO have a couple vids...but they are shitty cell phone vids...idk if they are worthy of posting up

Did you really just tell us you timed it based on sound? While that works great for a quick fix, you plan on using a timing light right?
Congrats on getting it running tho, must feel pretty good. Just missed the races tho

So I was driving my Z yesterday for the first time in a long time after putting it together, and it was fine for a bit, idling and and driving around the block (flat smooth pavement) so I decided to take it 2 miles out up to the interstate...now that road is a bit bumpy, so I got about halfway through the trip and i lost alot of power, wouldnt go past 3K rpms and was getting an occasional backfire. could one of my injector clips come loose? I checked them and they "seem" to be connected well, they arent loose. any ideas?
Im thinking either boost leak possibly?
or, checking these particular connections and cleaning them all and making sure a GOOD connection is thereMAF

CHTS
INJ

Got the exhaust in the mail today
CM performance 3in stainless
Getting new CHTS and subharness thursday, I think there is some credibility to that being the problem because I started the Z today and it actually started, rough, but it was on. so I think once the CHTS is in and all taken care of it should smooth out.

Im sure comparing to what he is used to it is.
Understeer is when you hit the wall with the front of the car
Oversteer is when you hit the wall with the rear of the car.
Horsepower is how fast you hit the wall
Torque is how far you take the wall with you
