the dyno runs were done on a stock ecu map as it was having issues and i felt it wouldnt make sense to try and tune when the car wasnt running 100%.
the ecu changes will encompass a full overhaul of the factory maps in both timing and fuel to optimize drivability with the 5spd box as well as maximize power potential.
the engine comp'ed out at factory fresh 180 across cold...i suspect some carbon buildup helped with the numbers but the engine was clean on the inside when i pulled the heads and the pan and i made it a point to fully decarbonize the pistons as well as heads before i put the engine back together.
need to pull the plenum and install the injectors and go from there.
SHift_BOOM. Damnit.

some footage from the drift event this past weekend...everyone had a great time.
unfortunately it seems my injectors are slowly dying...the erratic missfire that i was experiencing is starting to come more often.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h3tN8Tu8e0s

I'm curious... What settings and type of welder did you use to do the bell housing. I need to do the same thing as you on my Z33 trans. I'm not that far from you so I'd be interested in having you did it for me if I find it more cost effective. I've shot you an email about this as well.

there is proly about 12hrs or so in the header set construction...and i'd do it again for sure but now that i know what i'd run into im sure i could do it again much quicker.

yes, that was completed before the powertrain was in the car.
works pretty well considering it came out of an automatic car with 70kmi on it.
locks both tires nicely.

The MAF adaptor you have there, is that a JWT?

I'll try to answer a few questions here at once...yellowkoolaid - they're unequal length headers made out of mild steel, first headers I had ever made so they kind of suck.
cost was approx 300$ in raw materials for headers alone but the real kicker here was the time involved, approx 10hrs in construction as i had no idea what i was doing at first.
you're spot on with the ps pump being the q and the pulley being a maxima, if i did it again it would be all maxima stuff with a nut welded onto the pump so it could be bolted down to the q bracketry.
radiator hoses are a concoction of upper and lower ka hoses for the most part...i think. lemhead16 - its close to being complete, if you sitll have my email addy then drop me a line, i think within a week or so I should be ready to ship. newbissan-tech - I got ya covered man  t45 - no its actually a k&n filtercharger kit for a sohc ka that my friend was able to chuck on a lathe and open the inlet some...we then drilled and tapped new holes for the q maf and its been working great since.

Thanks, finding a MAF adapter for the 90mm is a b****! The JWT is like 150 bucks. I found a 90mm ford adapter for 40 that looks like I can massage to work. Any other cheap adapters? Anyone?
