Ok I have almost all the parts except the manifold. I would like to run a bottom mount manifold.
370cc injectorsT3/T04E 50 trim w/ .63 a/r on the hotside (internal wastegate too)SAFCIIHKS sequential BOVmanual boost controllerCometic 3 mil headgasket(will be installed when I blow my first headgasket)300ZX TT fuel pump300zx TT fuel filter
I'm bidding on an intercooler and boost gauge. Should I run a MSD timing retarder? If so which one do i need. I plan on running 7psi right now. I think thats all the injectors can handle. I think thats all. Nick
How does this setup sound

unless you just need a peace of mind, the stock head gasket is strong enough to hold more than most people will ever throw at it.450sxtc wrote:I disagree. I think you should definately use that cometic gasket. Shave the head and run that head gasket with arp studs and you will be dealing with a very dependable motor without having to worry as much about blowing it.
tune the engine correctly and call it a day.

I disagree about the timing. KA's NEED timing retard, even at 6-7psi. Doesn't take much to blow up a KA with timing issues. Backing off the base timing at least, is a must.

I ran 6.5 PSI on a FMU for a year with no detonation. I am running an E-Manage with 370's now and had to back off timing a bit, but that has to do with the fact that the ECU thinks less air is actually going into the motor then there actually is, so it adds more timing advance.
The stock timing curve is pretty conservative as it is. Considering it is written to run on 87 octane fuel. And at that the stock curve is such that at WOT, timing is advanced more similar to base timing(20 BTDC). Under cruising conditions is usually where timing tends to have the most advance as it sees less load and the advanced timing helps to save fuel.

Are you using the emanage like and SAFC to knock down the injectors to work( because it makes sense that this advances timing) but what if you use the injector harness, wont this work only to change your duty cycle and not effect the airflow signal so there wont be any adjustment to the ignition map other that what you make on with the ingnition harness. Does the injector correction feature on teh emanage use ariflow or duty cycle adjustment, cuz if its airflow thats pretty lame.
