So what are you going to run for management? Also, what pistons did you go with? Did you have it line bored to put in the main studs?

well Im down to the small things jwt ecu with injectors, 50lb iirc machined to fit, z32 mafs, walborro fuel pump...and plus ive been in and out of the field lately so maybe 1 month 2 at the most....the tuning is jim wolf technology to answer question....they say it is good for up to 350 to the crank without swapping to a dual cam ecu....but Ive heard they run rich so maybe I can squezz more out, but I think it will be plenty for me, for now...yes it was line bored and it is the arias forged pistons from the amsperformance.com kit for sohc

You don't swap to dohc ecu for more power....dohc ecu is pretty different from sohc (16bit vs 8bit, etc).

Anyways, nice setup. I have arias/eagle in my e-t, seems to be working just fine

actually if you call and talk to jwt they will tell you they can only tune the sohc ecu to 350 and if I wanted they could format the dohc to run my sohc and I would have to run the dohc dizzy. then I could run as much power as I wanted...so yes sohc+tuned dohc ecu+dohc dizzy=more than 350hp

You should really look into rom-tuning, a lot better solution. And I've never, ever heard of someone running a dohc dizzy in a sohc.

update!!!!sent my ecu off today...not to jim wolf though...I sent it to emance, iguess he is on nico, but anyways his deal is better, way better and plus he offers to tune it once the car is running too...2 questions, does anyone know what jwt does when they machine the 50lb injectors to fit the ka24e fuel rail...and is there a specific 50lb injector, I was looking around and they seem to be the same. better to ask though

Test fit the injectors and see how they seal. I'm using 460cc rx7 injectors, and I went ahead and bought the injector seal kits for an rx7 as the 240 seals were leaking.

well as for new stuff...I think I have a.d.d because I had my set purchases for this paycheck and then I go and f#$@ it all up...so instead of buying my mafs injectors and fuel pump, I bought fuel pump(walborro) 25mm wheel spacers( I cant deal with the tuck on the rear but love the wheels) and an oil sandwich(for gauges)....but for my gauges I have started making my custum gauge pod, will post right up when done. and my clutch s going out so this gives me an excuse to do the white bunny clutch swap, d21 flywheel with an 83 300zx clutch set...but I have not given up, just a lot of traing for my deployment, gotta love the day and life of a marine. still hoping to hit the schedule of next month to have her with the new stuff inside.

p.s. if anyone has a z32 n62 maf for sell let me know or any info on the white bunny swap.

Yes, looks much better. What is your wheel size, offset, tire size, and spacer size?

Oh and good build!

more pics...I couldnt find this stuff, so I just decided to make it. the gauge pod I couldnt find because no one makes a 2-5/8 and two 2-1/6first off is my coolant contact point for my temp gauge. I still have no idea where im gonna put it.

next is my failed attempt at making fiberglass gauge pod





It worked pefectly, I just didnt like the ending look of it. so I made one out of steel!

Looking awesome.. What kind of roll cage is that one. I am liking the looks of it. I wasnt looking to cut my dash up to put a cage in. Also I am looking into trying to have a single seat in the back so the wife, daughter and I can take it out instead of the Tornass (Tarus). No need for a full bench in the back.
