Here is a pic of the car as we were moving it from storage.











I put 3 of the gauges in the pillar and one replaced the clock.

 

Alright now for the tuning info...

The tune went pretty well.. The car made 505WHP and 505TQ....
If you look at the dyno chart you will notice a couple dips in my dyno this is because of the unichip ems..
I might in the future look at another EMS (fcon or haltech) to get a smoother tune.

I think I will be happy with this power

looks good

 

so is your car DG or OB?...

Very nice! Need more pics of the car.

 

I will toss some more up in a few days.. My car is at the body shop right now.

 

I have a similar aps TT build with cosworth built motor, APS extreme fuel kit, Aps 3" exhaust and down pipes etc. Why did you change the oil pump ? have you heard of any breaking down. Or did you change it just for the high flow rate, im guessing a higher pressure pump will cause seals to leak correct ?
Sorry just asking this as i was deciding whether to change my pump before the engine goes back into my car but been told by many 350z people with big power that its not needed.

 

I had to replace my oil pump due to the stock motor blowing.. The revup oil pump is made for the higher reving motors... And with a built motor and the more stress it should be more reliable.

 

I have the non rev-up motor. So had you heard of any failures ? sorry to press but like a lot of things im getting mixed messages so i always like to speak to people that have done similar builds.
Thanks.

 

If you are going to replace your oil pump I would just buy the rev-up. If you don't plan on replacing your pump just leave it. The revup will provide no noticable anything. It is designed to handle slightly higher revs and therefore is theoretically a stronger, better pump. As a result if a new pump is needed, why not get the revup?

 

Cool, thanks for that

 

Looks like a very nice build and you gotta love 500rwt at 4000 rpms.

 

Good stuff. Looks like you had a lot of room to work with
