Finally! took her in for the swap friday!

[Z32TT]

people have boost 18 with stock turbos with out detonation i just wouldnt though, let me ask you twinz what size injectors you on that you went above 15 and were detonating your not on stock injects are you?? and of course the higher octane fuel lessens the chence of detonation

[fairladyzz]

phanatikz, how much did you end up spending including parts and labor??im looking forward to do the swap at the shop you got yours done.

[300zx1316]

congrats on the swap man, im just as excited as u are having my tt swap done a while ago as well

[phanatikz32]

1 you need upgraded turbos, 2 upgraded intercoolers, and 3 a good tune. the stock turbos get sooo hot when boosting over 15psi that the air explodes in the engine before it even sparks (detonation). i was detonating at 16psi on 93 octane.

i have a front mount that is an upgrade from stock and according to the stats its good to 500-600 hp. and i have that mine's ecu tune though i dont know what its on it still. i only want to boost around 13lbs i dont want to go all crazy and boost 15 to 18 thats more than enough.

nah dude, keep it at 7...you can't handle double digit boost yet

[Z32TT]

nah dude, keep it at 7...you can't handle double digit boost yet

10 is stock no point goin below that even if he cant handle it

[JDMZ32]

10 is stock no point goin below that even if he cant handle it

i always thought stock was 8.5.

[Z32 TwinZ]

i am running stock injectors with 93 octane.. stock injectors can handle 370hp. im doing around 340whp, so yea it could be bc my injectors but i think its because im running stock intercoolers, and stock turbos.

phanatikz32 use .045 welding tips and you should be good. every z is different so get a boost gauge.

get the f*** outta here lol.

that is why your detonating buddy you got stock injectors that are only good to 15 psi your pushing harder then it can pump out the gas when you push hihger then 15, that is your reason for detonation

from what i remember stock intercoolers were good for about 500-600 hp and stock turbos can be boosted to 18 as long as you have the right things in place to not cause detonation like increased fuel flow,good tune,and at min 93 octane level

[BlackRC3]

heh, my single is only running 7psi right now...still making 280whp

you are gonna use that autometer boost gauge you showed me right? If it's a mechanical gauge then you can just go to pep boys and get the Sunpro boost gauge kit. It's like 10 bucks and it comes with all the necessary fittings (including the compression fittings) and the nylon tube that goes to your engine bay. You'll also need a small rubber adapter and a plastic "tee" fitting for the vacuum lines to hook up your nylon tube. This can all be found at pep boys or your local auto store sunpro kit:

hook the gauge up with a lot of slack so you can trouble shoot your engine for now and still mount the gauge later on with a nice wire tuck.

BlackRC3 Are you NA running a single turbo? or TT running single turbo

OH FASHO hey man there's no pep boys by my crib though, how bout i give you the money and you buy me one when you go to work then help me put it on?

also i'm going to chip my na ecu up to tt specs and get rid of this mines joint cuz its jut not working right for my car. do you know how to socket an ecu so i can just plug and unplug chips as i upgrade?

[spooled240]

bro i don't have a car right now =/ there is a pep boys in fontana, it's actually way nicer than the one i work at..here's the address:(909) 823-713116711 Valley Blvd Fontana, CA 92335

like i said you'll need two other things like a nylon tube connector (looks like a small rubber boot and a nylon tee fitting so you can tee your nylon tube into one of your vacuum lines.

[Z32TT]

BlackRC3 Are you NA running a single turbo? or TT running single turbo

he converted tt to single

[phanatikz32]

dont you have that corolla and that suburban lol? but yeah ok i just got tipped 20 bucks for helping some guy out at my job so i'll check it out when i get off work at 5

[spooled240]

my dad uses the corolla and my mom uses the suburban. It's not that hard, just run the line out your hood and into the car just to check boost pressure so you don't have to d!ck around with drilling a hole through your firewall under the dash blah blah blah..

[phanatikz32]

so i'm getting a new used tps and icv, and chipping my na ecu to tt specs with an upgrade to 555's and to allow for 15psi hopefully this will take care of my richness and the bogging and fluctuating idle. if anyone wants to buy that mines tuned ecu off me after i take it out let me know i dont have the time to try and get it to work i'm leaving for school in like a month. i'm also going to install my boost gauge so i can see wtf's going on with my boost cuz i dont feel like i'm getting all 9.5lbs. oh and new front brakes.
