yes im serious? I dont type for fun? If you must be nosey on my build The early 300zx injectors had a high failure rate, ask JWT. If im not mistaken the injectors I will get are 370cc not 500cc as I previously said. After thinking about 500cc for a min I dont think the 300zx ever came with that high. These are the TT injectors and the fuel rails. Well see, even so 500cc is not that high a flow rate when your starting a build. Im probably going to change the injectors numerous times. and the stock 4th gen injectors max? will do the job to about 250hp so obviously you have less which is why your tuner said keep the stockers. http://www.rceng.com/technical.aspx do some research and stop hating because you know NOTHING about my build and obviously just want to talk crap too

370cc? Such a waste. 290cc injectors FTMFW.

Again, mis quoting me just to make a witty joke and avoid the real problem. you car is slow and your angry. See chrisboy when you start making bigger hp numbers? and have a stiff suspension? it pays off to get beefier axels but you wouldn't know anything about that so let the men handle the real mods

I'll actually reply when I see these "big" numbers. 500cc injectors FTW

Don't forget the JWT TCU

All you guys do is talk crap. All I do is build my car for better performance every spare hour I have. THIS is your problem. Stop trying to put other people down and try to use a forum for its intended purpose....to help people.

My tuner didn't tell me anything except for "will that be cash or card". I still had to lean out the AFR with stock injectors. Big injectors are gonna flood your car and good luck trying to lean it out with a SAFC or paying up the azz for a JWT ECU scaled for big injectors for no damn reason.

Once Im satisfied with the bolt ons in about a month. Ill take it to lethal injection and you better bet you will be the first PM I send with a dyno map. Most REAL car guys? Enjoy seeing other people build their cars up because it pushes them to do more with their cars. Not talk crap all day long. I came to this forum because it seemed like everybody was serious about the vq engine and didnt just gossip all day like some damn women

Mines a 96 like it says in my profile right under my username. Yes I am a diehard nissan fan and I will NEVER buy another manufacturers car. The y was not the only thing we did that day. The muffler was put on and I watched a dual get put on a monte carlo which would burn the brakes off my car even 6 months from now. I go to people who know more than I do. Im not a know it all. I know audio and I just got into performance about 6 months ago. and good bc I enjoy all this too, its fun. Makes me want to do the vortech tomorrow and go for the tune afterwards just to PM chrisman

Almost every tuner in the world is only out for money. Most dont even let you watch them work on your car. I went to 5 different tuners before I settled on Lethal. They actually answer your questions and don't make you feel like an idiot because you don't know something. When im in the area I go by just to hangout, and they have 5 skylines lol, and watch them work. Its how I learn

All I know for a fact right now is its a Vortech system. Had I not deleted the email I would of posted the picture of it. All of the parts are sitting in a box in Acworth, Ga. This 4th gen was serious and I wish I could have gone for a ride before some idiot ran into the back of it. Honestly the system might be more trouble and tuning(IE $$$) than im willing to get into. I will do everything I can to not let it go to waste and if I dont use it? better bet ill post it in the classifieds for someone with more money than me to benefit from

Didn't see anyone hating on you till you started throwing a fit about making moAr power than errybody in here. On that note, why didn't you get headers?

PS you won't make as much power as me N/A no matter what dyno you're on.

Buy the sc kit, it's very simple. Best thing for tuning would be a wb 02 (aem uego is cheap) and emanage blue or emanage ultimate. Most people don't know those things help you out a lot. I initially had the stock injectors FMU and walbro 255HP, then added the vafc2, bought EMB, now EMU, 410cc injectors, 00VI, aeromotive 13301.
After getting used to boost and understand tuning, you sell the SC and upgrade to a turbo setup. http://www.dynomagic.com/thefast_hlh.htm

I'm a nice guy, hope him the best. It seems simple to me so I dunno. But you actually have to make your hands work on it so I can't motivate him there.

Schmelly.....look after I posted the video and you will see a perfect example of the hating I speak of. I respond and now im throwing a fit ok moving on now to actual engine related conversation. I haven't found headers yet that are even half way decent and I dont think I will. I haven't even figured out the design that they need to be nor do I know enough to attempt to ask The muffler shop to build some for me. I lucked out and found a Cattman Y and needed to start exhaling better so i had a simple set up put on. Dirty asked for a video so I posted.

Good lord your worse than a female. Couldnt? I had a shop do it in 45mins because it was raining and they had mufflers. Guess I should of built my own muffler too? Good lord you better be at the next meet. Ill have my car transported 1000 miles just to finally shut you up and the vid of your car crossing the 1/4 mile after 15secs will be my new sig. It seems to me you have nothing to contribute to a performance thread so you just talk crap all day.

Thats the thing though. This SC system is gutter cheap. I simply cant pass it up. The fuel pump will come after the zx injectors are put on. I think aeromotive is making really good pumps now and lethal has literally hundreds of pumps sitting around I can try 10 if I wanted too. I will always go AEM on the electronics end because I have NEVER seen someone regret an AEM part they put on. I wanted to stay all motor but this Vortech system is just too hard to pass up

This thread was started 2 days ago dude. I dont enjoy posting pics and videos for people to look at to show off. Who said the fastest max anyways? are you and chrisman brothers or something with your dumbass quotes and jokes? I said I would beat the breaks off of the haters on this thread and posted it in my sig so as to let everybody know. theres no hiding here

Busting ***** is fine but I don't come on their progress threads just to talk crap. Then again, its hard to have a progress thread when your busy making your car LOOK fast and trying to find a funny picture to post. To me it seems you are the only other person on this thread who actually knows a damn thing about building an engine.
