Ian Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 As most of you have probably figured out by now, I'm boosting the Z Usual story, I'm doing things a bit differently Really not feeling the green filter though, gonna have to try and source a blue one F-Con, which will most likely get ditched depending on what Mark @ Abbey decides on HKS BPV - also getting ditched in favour of a SSQV (Assumming I can be arsed to make it fit, if not then the SSQV will end up on my mums Impreza ) Intercooler Temp monitor New boot badge NOT! Unfortunatley my oil cooler is coming seperately & I'm also waiting for a huge order from Adam@Z1 to ship. I'm also still debating whether I'm gonna install it myself or just hand it over to Abbey to do - I'm leaning more towards doing it myself. If Nurrish can do it, then anyone can Parts I Have GTM HKS Stage 2 Supercharger HKS AFK Parts I'm waiting for GTM Oil Cooler Cosworth Intake Plenum (I'm guessing some of you have seen this already ) Deatschwerks 600CC Injectors CJM Stage 0 Fuel Return System HKS Black Edition SSQV NGK One Step Colder Spark Plugs AAM Throttle Body Spacer AAM Oil Pan Spacer Z1 Water Temperature Sensor Adaptor Koyo 54MM Radiator Tomei Test Pipes Defi Boost Gauge Defi Oil Pressure Gauge Defi EGT Gauge Defi Water Temp Gauge I think thats all of it Also a few more shiny bits & interior bits. I'm also debating on whether I should get the visible pipes powdercoated black to match the Cosworth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Posted March 17, 2010 Author Share Posted March 17, 2010 Nice one bud, will be awesome when its all fitted and tuned Yup My target is to have it ready for Japfest at the moment It won't make as much power as the Vortech kits, but the Torque figure seems higher on the HKS, its quieter than the Vortech & its JDM Will update in a minute at the progress I've made so far Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rtbiscuit Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 thats a really nice piece of kit, very tidy looking as for the filter, you can get replacement filter elements for them in a range of colours and not massively expensive once you have the cage like you already have. not sure if they do blue though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris`I Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 Yup My target is to have it ready for Japfest at the moment Will be great if you make it, I will have to have a good nosey around if you do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted March 17, 2010 Author Share Posted March 17, 2010 Only progress so far Will be a while before I get into it fully because of work & still missing a lot of parts HKS AFK Install There are 4 parts to install, 1 Ignition feed, 2 wideband sensors (will be fitted when my new cats arrive) & the knock sensor. The first 3 are easy, the last one though involves splicing into the ECU harness I was not looking forward to this part of the install, cutting the factory harness was probably the most nerve wracking thing I've done so far A few mates came down & gave a helping hand we started by removing the lower dash to gain access to the ECU, removed the ECU & found the correct wire to cut into. Then to make things easier, we removed the passenger seat. There is sod all room in the footwell, especially when your trying to hold a soldering iron, solder & another wire as we discovered, there is not enough room under there for 2 people to do it. Heres where it went a bit wrong because of the lack of room, when I tried stripping the wire back so I could tap into it I used a bit to much force & snapped the wire It took me nearly 3 hours to get them bridged back together with the knock amp connected aswell, then just as I was wrapping them in insulation tape - it came apart I was about to give up when I had a call from my uncle seeing how we were doing (I think he was worried because we hadnt phoned him in over an hour ) Explained the situation to him & he came to my rescue, within 10mins he had the whole thing fitted (its easy when you do that for a living ) I only have it set up to monitor knock at the moment, I will fit the wideband sensors once I recieve my new cat pipes. Interior before Interior now Came out better than I expected it to TBH, Pretty happy with it & you get the idea of what it will look like when my other gauges arrive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
