    Ok, that makes sense. Less stuff to tweak and mess with right away. I just wasn't sure what the stock Z31 injectors were capable of and how much you can actually do with them before upgrading them.

        I love that you couldn't just wait until it was actually done and running......

              I'm proof of this.....I have zero desire to make my car run, even though I'm about 12 hours away from it being complete.

                        Got it running last night, no vids though, got an antifreeze leak, but that was expected. No other leaks as far as I can see, transmission sealed good, no oil, power sttering fluid. Turbo spools great and sounds great, working on installing a ford taurus fan for more cooling. No exhaust on it but am thinking of going with a 3in turbo back stianless. It was running pretty rough at first but after messing with the distributer and turning it, she smoothed out and sounds lovely.

                        I DO have a couple vids...but they are shitty cell phone vids...idk if they are worthy of posting up

                          Did you really just tell us you timed it based on sound? While that works great for a quick fix, you plan on using a timing light right?

                          Congrats on getting it running tho, must feel pretty good. Just missed the races tho 🙂

                          At first I did it for fun, then I realized I made the investment and had to do it!

                            haha, no, I used a timing light and set it where it needs to be. I am sure there will be plenty more street legals 🙂 and yes, it feels great to finally have it back in running order.

                                  So I was driving my Z yesterday for the first time in a long time after putting it together, and it was fine for a bit, idling and and driving around the block (flat smooth pavement) so I decided to take it 2 miles out up to the interstate...now that road is a bit bumpy, so I got about halfway through the trip and i lost alot of power, wouldnt go past 3K rpms and was getting an occasional backfire. could one of my injector clips come loose? I checked them and they "seem" to be connected well, they arent loose. any ideas?
                                  Im thinking either boost leak possibly?
                                  or, checking these particular connections and cleaning them all and making sure a GOOD connection is there

                                      Got the exhaust in the mail today 😄

                                      CM performance 3in stainless 😎

                                      Getting new CHTS and subharness thursday, I think there is some credibility to that being the problem because I started the Z today and it actually started, rough, but it was on. so I think once the CHTS is in and all taken care of it should smooth out.
