Introduction - The Black Sheep

Post by **BlackRC3** » Fri May 15, 2009 6:48 am

well over the last few days i've put 87km on it! She's been running great (been keeping under 5k rpm for the time being as i'm still working out the bugs. Having issues with the z1 upgraded throttle bodies sticking and causing my idle to surge so i'll have to take those apart this long weekend.

Also i'm having a hell of a time trying to find the rubber piece that holds the back of the shifter assembly to the body of the car. It's a PAIN IN THE a** having to lift the shift knob before shifting.

Were you able to hit the dyno at Wall's?

Are you planning on heading to the Pony Corral cruise night this sunday? If I can finish up a few things on mine, ill be heading there (weather permitting).

Awesome!! you just made my day! hopefully it doesn't take to long to get in

Post by **BlackRC3** » Fri May 15, 2009 5:28 pm

Naw, not planning on hitting the dyno until i get at least a 1000km on the new motor and road tune out all the bugs, as far as meets go i'll be out n' about. There's a car meet at GAS performance at the Waverly Auto Mall that i'll stop by but i can always stop by the Pony too with my bro and his H1 Hummer with the Duramax swap.

I happened to see your Z today by broadway and st-mary's (I was in the grey NISMO Frontier), that car sound badass !! I would love to hear it at WOT.

Post by **BlackRC3** » Fri May 22, 2009 5:19 am

i swear i've seen you driving that frontier up and down lakewood (i'm usually in my xterra with the ugly orange ladder on the roof)

yeah WOT sounds pretty sweet with an open dumptube

Post by **i_love_my_300zx** » Fri May 22, 2009 5:35 am

I have family in that area so i drive there quite often. As for your xterra, i dont recall seeing it.

Thats awsome! What numbers are you expecting?

If your going to Walls, I may run into you there. Im dropping the car of in the morning to get the engine pulled.

Post by **BlackRC3** » Wed Jul 08, 2009 9:52 am

Post by **pagemaster** » Wed Jul 08, 2009 4:17 pm

Post by **i_love_my_300zx** » Wed Jul 08, 2009 7:00 pm

The NA is going to be pulled for a swap, but I had to re-schedule so I wont be dropping it off on Monday. When its out of the car, Brian will be throwing in an LS3 with T56. Im shooting to begin the swap next summer. I would like to have the motor pulled before winter to prep the engine bay, but time will tell.

that is a beautiful Z. this is also the only sing turbo one ive seen. keep up the great work!

Post by **twinturboz161** » Sun Aug 02, 2009 5:41 pm

Any updates?

Post by **BlackRC3** » Sun Aug 02, 2009 5:56 pm

indeed! she made 572whp @ 28psi on 91 pump gas!! The tune was good for the dyno but not for the street, motor didn't last long

2 hard runs on the highway after a 4 hour dyno session and the heads started to lift off the block due to some serious detonation. Lost compression in one cylinder and started to burn coolant.

tore the heads off and found this:

The head was dropped off and i'm picking it up monday, should be another week and i'll throw it all back together and back to the dyno with the PROPER octane gas, C116! so i can drop the boost and lean out the a/f's since i had to run super fat after 5krpm's...almost 10's

should make 650-700whp on c116 for the track. then just gonna run 500whp on the street

Bad luck on the detonation =/ but that's one hell of a car. looking forward to seeing the next dyno

Post by **franklin93zx** » Sun Aug 02, 2009 10:00 pm

certainly is the black sheep. she's going to be a never ending project. those are quit the numbers and she's still looking great

Post by **twinturboz161** » Mon Aug 03, 2009 7:16 pm

nice numbers, i'm assuming your running meth, but even still, why so much boost on pump gas?? that's just asking for trouble. What kind of timing are you running?

Also, what are the specs on that turbo?

Post by **BlackRC3** » Tue Aug 04, 2009 6:04 am

Turbo Specs are: HP-66 .81 A/R. This turbo is good for 550-800HP depending on application.

Using FJO methanol injection

28psi seemed to do just fine on the dyno but i had miscalculated drag due to wind resistance on the car when it wasn't on the dyno which helped cause the motor to detonate...well that and the fact that i was on the dyno for 4 hours, and decided to do 2 highway pulls back to back downshifting hard to help slow the car down.

i'm going to keep this tune but use a half 91 half 110 mix, then have a c116 tune to push for 650whp and my daily tune around 15-19psi.

Post by **twinturboz161** » Tue Aug 04, 2009 10:31 am

gotcha... 28 seems high even with meth on that big of a turbo, but ya street tune and dyno tune can be two different things, sucks to hear about the motor. Good luck with geting it back together, i think there might be a few other single turbo z32's popping up in the next couple months

Post by **dinger240** » Thu Aug 27, 2009 3:03 pm

updates?

Post by tg » Thu Aug 27, 2009 3:41 pm

psi limit for 91/93 pump gas is about 20ish. I get detonation at 22psi with 94 octane.

did the bumpy idle work itself out? what was the solution? Mine likes to go up and down after i run it hard... then if i let it sit for a bit it gets back to flat idle.

was running 28psi all last night, just had to taker easy on it and make sure temps stayed low.

Fixed the head, threw it all back together and she runs like a champ!

the goofy idle was fixed as soon as we threw a proper tune on it.

Sept 15th i'll be heading to the track to see what she can do

Post by **Touge-Z32** » Mon Sep 07, 2009 7:56 am

Awesome to see your Z up and running again.

Post by **edhurez32** » Mon Sep 07, 2009 8:29 am

Can't wait to hear what she will do, glad you got the head repaired and bugs worked out!!!

I have got to see this car before the snow flies.
