I plan on keeping the L28ET and heavily mod it....right now i've been slacking on anything due to the cold a** weather (damn MN!)

After the engine work i plan on shaving the trim, the antenna, and the rear wiper...throw a g-nose front on there and re-do the interior swap out the stock seats and gauges all that fun stuff

They were all in the tool boxes which were on the ground because i don't have a shelf or anything in my garage...I live in apartments and the garages are really small so don't really have room to put any shelves in

wy do you think you are running lean? it's very uncommon to run lean with a stock system, if you are in fact lean adn verified wiht a wideband a'f meter, you can replacet eh stock fpr with an adjustable unit to lower the base pressure

lol, I see what he means now, actually that setup should cause high pressure and a rich condition and it will kill your fuel pump!

someone was close, the fuel line should not have a "T" in it, it should feed into one end of the rail, the other end of the rail should feed the FRP,(that little brakk looking thing kinda sitting ont he fuel hose at the rear next to the firewall

looks like someone has also added a remote manual bost controller, you'll want to get a good boost gauge and see what kind of boost this is running, with no intercooler you need to stay south of 10 psi of the cast pistons won't survive

Okay so pretty much just wanna re-route that to the FPR yeah it was like that when i bought it I was kinda wondering why it was tee-d right there and it wasn't on my friends Z....

the boost controller was hooked up by my friend i have it all the way turned down since i don't have a intercooler yet...but i've been thinking about getting a electric boost controller rather than manual.
