Haven't updated in awhile so thought I would share. My last tune was on Nistune and with a 3"-2.5 test pipe to a 2.5" b&b catback. Car was able to make 471whp at 17lbs of boost. Later found out the controller was having issues trying to go above 17lbs. Nistune although a great tuning platform, still lacked the safeties I would like to have personally. I ended up selling all the unneeded items in order to transfer over to a Haltech. I also ended up selling my 3-2.5" test pipes and b&b exhaust and switching to 3" test pipes and 3" z1 pg exhaust. Why? I wanted nothing holding back the car in anyway. I also ended up installing a Twinz diffuser while there. :) Once I received my Haltech I started calling around and PM'ing a lot of shops and Harry (Ztuner) was very helpful through out my install. My friend Steven and I ended up installing the Haltech ECU with a Haltech 4 bar map sensor, Haltech AIT sensor, 2 boost solenoids, and Haltech widebands and gauge into a 300degree gauge pod for a cleaner look.
From there... it was figuring out how to get a real good tuner to tune the car properly. Harry being a top tuner and on the East Coast I wanted him to tune the car. He told me he would street and dyno tune the car and spend about a week just on tuning. Making sure all the cold starts and driveability issues were handled so the car runs correctly.
I called a friend of mine who ships cars for a living and next thing you knew my z32 was off to Harry's in Florida... Once she got to Harry's him and I discussed a few items and the big picture changed... My item list got bigger and bigger and needless to say, when she comes back. She will be a very fun car to drive. Ended up doing the following...
-bde top fed fuel rails -1300cc injector dynamic injectors -aeromotive fuel regulator -aeromotive fuel filter -walboro 485lph fuel pump -braided lines/an fittings -ethanol analyzer -e85 gauge -haltech io box -haltech mini can hub -haltech trim knob (for adjusting boost and such on the fly) -relay harness -flying lead harness -new rod bearings (for reliability) -pcv re route to valve covers -tune on 93 pump fuel -tune on e85 Here are a few pics from Harry's. Car is still in the process of being completed currently. Cant wait to post results so stay tuned..
