madman's sc400 pro-am build

[madman's240]

Well this build happened off an impulse buy. I've always liked the way the sc300/400 chassis looked but they were always stupid expensive and out of my price range. Then one day I made a rant on fb about the price of these cars even with blown up motors or crazy body damage. Turns out a friend of mine knew a guy selling one cheap and put us in touch a few text messages later I sent my dad money to pay for the car and fuels and lunch for him and my uncle to go pick it up since I just started my new job in the oilfield at the time and didn't know when I was gonna have a day off and didn't want this deal to slip through my hands.
$400 later this is sitting at our house waiting for me to decide what I was gonna do with it (march 2013)

well after a few months of planning and and getting my financial situation stable I starting ordering parts to get the ball rolling. (September 2013)
after a few emails back and fourth I hooked up with Neo-motorsports for my suspension and braking needs

then I decided I was gonna drop a 1jz into it since it bolts right in. well I found a cheap auto swap in corpus picked it up dropped it off at our shop. Then I was on the hunt for a r154 well during my searchs I came across a decently priced soarer front clip with an r154. so I sold my other motorset to a friend. and purchased the front clip (oct 2013)
Then after talking to bigsticks about ecu's I purchased a pro efi pro 48 ecu and all the sensors I needed from the guys at D3 performance (nov 2013)

Then came the turbo side with so many options. I decided to go with the driftmotion billet 6262 turbo kit. mainly because it came with every thing I needed to go single turbo and wasn't crazy expensive and had a lot of good reviews. (dec. 2013)

then my niece decided that she wanted to model with it

Onto the fuel system. I purchased a fuel injector clinic fuel rail and 1050cc injectors. Turns out the injectors were discontinued so they upgraded me to 1120's since they were the same price.
(jan. 2014)

During this whole time frame I was purchasing all the little stuff I could for the motor todo maintenance and small upgrades. I bought all brand new oem timing belt tensioner, idler pulley, front and rear main seals, water pump, oil pump (just to be safe), greddy timing belt, thermal intake manifold gaskets, nst pulleys, fluidamper

Finally my sparco evo 3 arrived so we could build a steering column to get rid of the broken and heavy factory column. Then we installed the coilovers (jan. 2014)

Finally we got the motor as close as we could to being ready to drop in. sent it to my friend ken (aka the jz guru of Houston) had him do some minor things to the motor. Had him clean up my stock harness aswell as rewire it to work on the pro efi. Went ahead and had him install the motor and trans since I had very few days off from work todo it myself (oilfield life) (feb. - march 2014)

Then we decide to change from a front mount setup to a mid-mount intercooler to try to hide the intercooler from cones and objects that may end up on course

[madman's240]

now that the engine bay is as far as we can go until I order more parts. We moved on to finishing the chassis harness and installing and wiring up the gauges.
My dad made the metal dash inserts to cover the old ac vents etc..

there will be more updates as we take my spare subframe strip it down and clean it up and install all theses bushing and arms

Started working on the trunk setup. still got a few things to work out before we start running fuel lines and mounting the surge tank and secondary fuel pump and filter. nitrous bottle was just for pics but were considering doing a intercooler spray bar depending on intake air temps.

[madman's240]

Well after starting to loose motivation in this build. I decided to goto fd tx this past weekend hoping it would respark my motivation to get the car finished. Well it worked i got home Sunday and started tearing out the stock fuel lines and getting the an lines ran as usual we ran into a couple of small issues with having a couple wrong fittings.

Pics to come once we get everything strapped up

[izzy-]

$400 is a great deal. I never see anything cool get posted in Illinois for cheap.

[madman's240]

[Maximo018]

Dude we gotta chat. Where in Houston are u? I firmly agree with the 1st 2 sentences of ur first post bcuz I've always and still to this day want that car since middle school. Wanna build a 1j 5spd 700whp. How ur friend put u down with one for $150-200 here baffles me? All the ones I find are $5-8k.

[Maximo018]

Great build btw. I gotta finish my RB Z31 1st.

North side tomball/magnolia area . Im over building the car should be able to put down close to 550+ but Im only shooting for 450-475whp reliably. Yeah I was complaining about $2500 cars with blown head gaskets or body damage. When he said he knew a guy with one that had blown hg and a bad transmission for $250 I jumped cause I knew I wanted togo jz.

[madman's240]

well we finally got the fuel lines in the engine bay finished just gotta run a vacuum line to the fpr

now onto the trunk to get everything mocked up so we can cut the excess line. now we just gotta finish welded in the fuel cell mounts in since all we had was a cheap flux core welder to get everything tacked up. once the bars are welded its time to paint the trunk then final assembly gets started

Then instead of just using basic rubber line and hose clamps for the power steering system I decided to go overboard and make everything an braided line and fittings

[Royal_T]

what you get the Z shell for? Just wondering..

[madman's240]

Probably gonna do a texas speed 408 lq9 & built 4l80 to take to tx2k style events

[future]

I think he was asking price

[madman's240]

Oh I picked it up for $1000 with a clean title

[future]

That was a steal!


what didn't you like about the 350? Seeing how you wanted a SC instead.


couldn't have been much if you got another Z33 lol

[madman's240]

Well the z is my daily and I just got it payed off. Didn't wanna keep trashing it too much.

But the main reason for building the sc over the z is the cost to make power out of the vq since its my daily I cant have it down for long periods of time.

[future]

But thought the FC was the daily?

[madman's240]

No the white z is my daily and old pro am car for 2 years. I picked the sc up about a year and a half and started building it I have yet gotten to drive the sc.

[Royal_T]

Oh I picked it up for $1000 with a clean title


Fuck me!!!, damn I need to find deals like that.. lol

[supersayianjim]

how much does your pro-efi costs?? i also has a 1jz sc(400)

Fuck me!!!, damn I need to find deals like that.. lol
Yeah like I said he made me an offer I couldn't refuse. He told me he'd sell it to me for 1000 or he was gonna put it on Craigslist for 2000

how much does your pro-efi costs?? i also has a 1jz sc(400)

Mine was $1400 with all the sensors and a plug and pin harness adapter

[madman's240]

Things have been slow with the build works been crazy. But we did get the trunk painted. I ordered a new steering wheel since the old one was to big i also got a couple hooks to mount on the cage one for my helmet and one for the steering wheel.

[madman's240]

Well finally making some real progress finally got the drive shaft,& diff adapter from driftmotion. I ordered all the oval piping, transitions, 45 degree bend and vband clamps to build my exhaust. Now I should have everything except a couple an fittings for the power steering cooler a battery and some power cable And a little fab time to get the car ready to go get tuned.

[madman's240]

Got some goodies in and installed

Drive shaft and diff flange adapter are in and installed

Alright so I took my car to my buddy stephen aka oneleg (on most fourms) over at mafia garage to get my exhaust built. I'm extremely pleased on how it came out . Its 3in round to 3 in oval back to 3in round at the axleback to dual 3in blastpipes

My asd handbrake also showed up right before the car went to get the exhaust built so I did some mock up to find the most comfortable position and so far im liking this spot just gotta remove the factory handbrake to see if I want it closer or not.

[bc.]

What is your power goal for this thing?

[madman's240]

Realistically im only shooting for 450-475whp till I get used to the brand new chassis and power plant. Once i get used to it and get a backup motor ill turn it up to 550+whp

[scweet14]

those vordoven wheels are way better than those gold xxrs you had! so far so good man! keep it up

[madman's240]

Thanks I should be posting an update later after I get all the pics uploaded to photobucket we got quite a bit done while I was home for Christmas . and yeah I agree but I don't hate the way the xxrs look .there great wheels for drifting cheap enough if u break one you don't have to stress replacing them. wide enough to run a 265 and not poke like crazy.

[madman's240]

so I got the car back on Wednesday from Stephen but he had a little accident while bringing the car back. the hood tiedown broke and the hood caught air and slammed back into the roof luckily my new windshield wasn't in it yet. so I made him sweat it out a little before telling him not to worry about the hood cause I plan on ordering a dmax hood after the new year.

we started doing putting the fuel system together and released we needed to space the bosch 044 and fuelfilter up about a 1/2 an inch to make clearance for the an fittings luckily we had this piece of of 1/2 inch piece of c channel laying around so we trimmed it down drilled the holes and painted it black to match the rest of the trunk.

we tried to start the car with the base map on the ecu but no luck the injectors aren't getting signal. so ill be getting my wiring guy to get me a pin layout of what he did and getting in touch with the tuner a d3 performance to build a new map with the car there in person to hopefully get the car running this time. but first I gotta take the car to silhouette garage to get the coldside pipe welded and might aswell get front and rear bash bars while it's there

why did you route your exhaust on the fuel line side??

[madman's240]

why did you route your exhaust on the fuel line side??

no fuel lines are on the driverside the exhaust comes down the passenger and angles across by the diff

[Royal_T]

Looking good bro..

[madman's240]

Got a little more progress on the Car getting closer to first start up.
took the cat to a local shop silhouette garage(same guys that did my cage) to get the ic piping welded and Bov flange and iat bung welded as well

[madman's240]

So huge updated the car finally runs.

So I finally got everything finished and got the car tuned

Here's the dyno sheet they printed it in sae mode instead of standard mode like most places. In standard mode it made 454hp and 430tq at 24psi. Which is perfect cause my goal was 450-475whp.

So I got more back on my tax return than expected so today I purchased a garrett GTX3076R to replace the dm6262. Should have it in a few weeks

[madman's240]

Well got a few goodies in this week to get it closer to being done.

First in was my fan shroud and electric fans.

still waiting on the exhaust housing , some suspension bushings. To come in next week then we're gonna get busy on the suspension build and if we have time left before rd.1 in march were gonna try to get the turbo and wastegate swapped but right now the important part that were focusing on is suspension.

[madman's240]

Got the new ps cooler in since the other one was to big to mount on the cat with the bash bar so I gave it to my dad for his s10 drag truck for a Trans cooler.

[DanielS14]

nice build thread!
ive been thinking about running those mishi electric fans, how are you liking them so far?

[madman's240]

nice build thread!

They move a lot of air we should know how well they work in a couple weeks once we get the new turbo on and put coolant in. The car got upto 215 with the bad clutch fan without a shroud on straight water on the dyno after a couple pulls.

[sleeper108]

I had heat issues with my RB last year at track days (otherwise completely fine) but when its 100+ outside and your at a track in the middle of the desert, things overheating doesnt surprise much.

Anyways, if the mishimoto fans don't work out too well, I bought these to replace my FAL fans I was running. I haven't had any track days with these yet but they look awesome quality out of box, and the high cfm is always nice.
http://derale.com/products/electric-fans/shrouded-powerpacks/dual-powerpacks

they end up putting out about 4k CFM, and as a puller with proper ducting, I can't imagine you'll have much in the way of cooling issues. just a thought incase you end up needing it.

[madman's240]

Ok so we're making progress on the suspension build.
Got My spare subframe from 5spd donor car all cleaned up so we could build it without having the car torn apart.

http://i274.photobucket.com/albums/jj247/madmans240/20150201_170551_zps1vyjhlke.jpg (http://s274.photobucket.com/user/madmans240/media/20150201_170551_zps1vyjhlke.jpg.html)

well it had a welded diff but someone didn't do that great of a job I plan on taking it to silhouette garage to get cleaned up and braced

Got all of the bushings pressed out and the subframe painted gonna give it a day or two to cure then we're gonna pop in the battle version solid bushings and install the arms.

http://i274.photobucket.com/albums/jj247/madmans240/Mobile%20Uploads/S__A781_zpsfx0dztfl.jpg (http://s274.photobucket.com/user/madmans240/media/Mobile%20Uploads/S__A781_zpsfx0dztfl.jpg.html)

We also installed the poly bushings in the front control arms (didn't get any pic's )

got a text Saturday night that my diff was ready come to find out none of the previous welds actually penetrated. But Justin at silhouette garage got me fixed up we should be picking the diff up Monday.

pretty excited that the cars coming together a few long nights and a handful of parts that need to be ordered and the car with be ready for rd.1 of the lonstar drift pro-am series. I cant wait to drive this monster its been almost 2 yrs since Ive actually competed in pro-am

[supersayianjim]

nice ps cooler! why not just spring for a tomei 2 way? they are less than 1k. also are you going to do ur rear upper control arm? I just replaced all the front components on my 400. 500 for a pair of flca's.

[madman's240]

Honestly I've always had welded diff so I'm comfortable with them plus right now $50 sounds better than up to $1k.
Yes I'm gonna replace the ruca's just the battle version arms aren't in my budget right now. I'll probably be buying the megan racing rlca aswell cause the ball joints on my oem aren't in the best shape and there non serviceable. Oem replacements are like 300 plus shipping means are 420 with tax so it's kinda a no Brainer to get the ones I can adjust if needed. I also plan on getting the figs engineering pro angle kit in the next couple months.

[madman's240]

Got quite a bit done since the post

We got the dual caliper brackets installed got the asd mounted and all the hard lines bent and installed

I left Togo back to work on a Tuesday night and Thursday morning the snuck my car off to the body shop to get painted they were trying to suprize me when I got home from work the friday before the event but then realized that my sponsor decal wouldn't work on the new paint so they had to clue me in.

After pulling an all nighter Friday night/ Saturday morning we loaded up and took off to the event Saturday.

Got my e85 fix for the weekend
http://i274.photobucket.com/albums/jj247/madmans240/Mobile%20Uploads/20150328_074755_zpso9dpfikg.jpg (http://s274.photobucket.com/user/madmans240/media/Mobile%20Uploads/20150328_074755_zpso9dpfikg.jpg.html)

Once we got to the track we unloaded the car threw on the series decals and I took the car to tech. on the way back I got excited and decided to do a quick pull on the back stretch of the parking lot and found out the car was breaking up at 4800rpm. Great so we pulled the plugs one was fouled so me and my brother haul ass to the closet autoparts store and get an new set plug a couple extras( all 8 they had in stock). Get back gap them and throw them back in the car do another pull same thing bring it back to the pit started checking coilpack connectors that's when we noticed the #1 injector plug came off reconnect it and take it for another spin hoping it was fixed same thing again. So we decided to go ahead a take a couple laps see if the car would clear up.

Well the first run was pretty good car fell on its face a couple times but was able to power through. Second run I get to the front of the line and noticed that the light to my toggle switch for the holley lift pump looked kinda dim so I went ahead and did my lap came back and had my dad and brother lay under the car when I turned the switch on nothing checked the fuse it was blown threw a new one in and it blew the second I flipped the switch. Great the pump locked up I knew it was just a matter of time till it died since it came off my dad's old drag car just was hoping it lasted longer than it did.

so we tried to find another local and no luck so we ended up trying out my back up bosch 044 but since I'm not running a return line from the surge tank to the cell it just built up too much pressure. Left it how it was and attempted to qualify with it messed up just for the points ended up getting 38th out of 49 I spun my first run from lack of practice so I just tried to lay down a conservative run on my second lap just to try to make top 32 but I guess it was too conservative.

My cousin passed away in December but got to go to his first event in October and fell in love with it the whole 7hr drive back from new Orleans all he talked about was wanting to build a car to learn in. Well he had left his favorite hat in my tow rig so in his memory I snapped it on the cage so he will forever be there with me.

[madman's240]

[Royal_T]

Nice man, glad to see you got to take it out there.. Sucks you had some issues but hey at least you know what to fix for next time.

Question were you get that Power on/off sticker?

[Mannykiller]

Hell yea man! I dig it!

[madman's240]

Nice man, glad to see you got to take it out there.. Sucks you had some issues but hey at least you know what to fix for next time.

Question were you get that Power on/off sticker?

Thanks new build issues. Atleast it was a good shakedown and only a few changes need to be made.

Hell yea man! I dig it!

Thanks man

[OBEEWON]

So mad those brackets just came out. I waited 4 years.
Did you figure out the issue?

[madman's240]

Yeah we knew the issue at the track just didn't have/couldn't find the part to fix it.

I'll be ordering the parts Friday to fix and modify my fuel system

[OBEEWON]

What was it? How did the car feel otherwise?

[madman's240]

My holley lift pump died it was old came off my dad's old racecar so it was just a matter of time we were hoping it would last until we could order a backup. And I couldn't run a high pressure pump because I have no return line from my surge tank to the cell. I'll be ordering a new pump and some fittings to add a return to my fuel cell

[Big Zee]

Love the way your keeping the memory alive for your Cousin, my condolences for your loss.

I really like how your car looks though, nice and clean with the purple cage for that bit of pop. :D keep it up good sir!

The new fuel pump and an fittings to build a return from my surge tank to my fuel cell showed up today hoping to get most that done this week and test drive the car to see if the fuel cut issue is fixed.
Also have some other parts coming for the car should be here around the weekend or first of next week.

Since most my friends call me polar bear I whipped up this quick t-shirt design. Thinking about have a handful made to sell to try to help pay for some of the expenses for the season

[madman's240]

So I needed some fuel jugs of my own so I didn't have to borrow them every event. So I decided to get some to match the car.

[madman's240]

I'm gonna get the figs angle kit and it comes with adjustable uppers

[madman's240]

Well we thought we had all the issues worked out. Took the car to rd.2 this past weekend car ran amazing all day Saturday except for the cooling overheat setting was to low so I had to unplug the sensor to the ecu and watch my gauge to keep from overheating. Once qualifing started the car started throwing lean codes and hitting limp mode somehow I managed to qualify 31st barely making top 32 . Tried to get it fixed but no luck went into my top 32 battle tried to follow the other guy car wouldn't do anything so I bowed out and loaded up and stayed to watch my boy Randall and cheer him on and he ended up winning the event.

I'm gonna tear down the fuel system and check for trash cause it to lean out

[slow40sx]

I'm excited to see this completed

[supersayianjim]

you think a bad fuel filter?

[OBEEWON]

Dang, sorry to hear. I wanted to see action shots of the event. Love those Megan uppers.

[madman's240]

Found the problem the foam that came in the cell started to break down due to the e85. There was foam in both filters so I'm assuming it got all the way to the injectors so I'm gonna pull them have them flow tested and cleaned. I already ordered new filter elements and o rings to service my filters

[madman's240]

Well some good news we got the injectors out this weekend and pull the lines and cell and flushed them. There was quite a bit of foam in the lines hopefully after the injectors get cleaned we will be back to 100%

[JRex]

Awesome build. Can't wait to see it with the aero and wing.

[supersayianjim]

so you need a e85 resistant cell?? didn't know that it caused foam??

[slideslidegnarslide]

There's foam in the fuel cell to stop the fuel from sloshing around. The 85 broke down the foam inside.

[madman's240]

Awesome build. Can't wait to see it with the aero and wing.
Yeah its getting fixed up and painted atm .

so you need a e85 resistant cell?? didn't know that it caused foam??

There's foam in the fuel cell to stop the fuel from sloshing around. The 85 broke down the foam inside.
Yeah the plastic cell inside the steel case is e85 compatible but apparently the foam wasn't. I'll be ordering e85 compatible foam this week

[madman's240]

Found pretty good pics of the car from the event.

Here's a Lil transformation from when I got the car. To basically how it sits now

[madman's240]

Well cleaning out the lines and cell, replacing the filter elements, and getting the injectors cleaned and flow tested fixed the issues. Got it turned up 16 psi currently once we get to the venue for rd.3 I'm gonna use the back straight to get it turned up to 24psi.

Also got some cfr 2200cfm fans to replace the Mishimoto 1150cfm fans luckily I was able swap the guts around so I didn't have to drill new holes in the metal shroud also bought the push through mounting hardware incase I need to mount the other fans as pushers for a Lil more airflow.

[madman's240]

Ok so this weekend is rd.3 of our series. Yesterday we had a few issues after 4 run both my turbo and exhaust manifold gaskets decided to let go so me and my team ripped the car apart and got the copper gasket maker and a new turbo gasket put on just in time for qualifying. Went super conservative on my first run to lack of time on course second run I pushed harder to try to move up in order ended up shooting a 4ft flame out the blast pipes ended up 25th out of 40 ish driver ready to go into 32 battles today

[OBEEWON]

Are you going to do any Aero?

[madman's240]

Yes it's at my buddy's house that does body work on the side getting repaired and painted. It's a vertex knockoff kit

[OBEEWON]

Can never go wrong with anything Vertex styled.

[madman's240]

Right I can't wait till its done

[madman's240]

I just realized I forgot to updated how everything went on Sunday.
Well after I made my post we checked over the car then track went hot at 9:30 made 1 run the car got felt amazing. I felt super in sync with it early entry good line and pretty close to the clipping points I should have quit while I was ahead went to make a few more runs ended up blowing another turbo gasket do to the copper gasket maker we used to help the seal due to the warped flange melted so we went and bought a mill file from the closet autoparts store and me my dad and brother took turns fileing away at the flange got it right put it together 30 mins before track was shut down for txsl top 16 I got a run in halfway through the run the car cutout like kit fell out of boost So I bailed went straight to my pit and started checking for leaks and only found a small leak from the head flange nothing we could do at this point so we parked then it started raining so we shut down did driver's meeting txsl hit the course. I decided to hit the small practice course since I've never driven the car in the rain kept breaking up worse so I went and grabbed the laptop and hooked it up and did some pulls and was hitting o2 lean and over boost codes so the car was going into limp mode as I pulled in my pits large amounts of smoke started coming out the exhaust so I think the wastegate might have seized shut killing the turbo so. I'm gonna tear down the exhaust side belt sand the flanges to make sure there not warped gonna get the flange for the tial 44mm welded on the manifold and finally get the gtx3076 put on and get the car ready to be retuned aswell as run compression test on the motor to make sure it's not hurt

[Maximo018]

Damn this car has come far.

[AzS13hatch]

Nice looking car man. Sucks to have the luck you are with all the issues. I noticed you have a universal turn signal switch. I have been searching all over the internet for something and that is pretty much the only thing I could find. It looks huge like I imagined but I figure I'll ask how you like it anyway, so what's your 2 cents on it?

[madman's240]

Honestly it's not that bad I use it when I drive the car on the streets by my house so it's sorta legal even though it's not tagged inspected or insured yet. I expected to have issues just trying to get everything ready for the off season so I can do alot of shakedown and get seat time in the car

[madman's240]

Ok so I've been slacking on the build. After rd.3 I parked the car and haven't touch it till 2 days ago. I used the time away from the car to help out my friend will parsons finish his fd pro 2 sc300 to make it to Fd orlando in time.
This was the car 2 weeks before we had to load up leave for orlando

After alot of late nights from myself ,will and his dad, and the entire crew from Jtrans motorsports we got the car done by Tuesday afternoon when we had to be in Orlando by 4pm on Wednesday to make it for his tech appointment. So we packed up left houston at 11:30 PM and hauled ass all the way to Orlando only stopping for fuel and snack at truck stops.

[madman's240]

While I was gone my dad called asking if I wanted buy back our old project truck that we started back when I was in high school from his friend that we sold it to. Found out how much his friend wanted and jumped on it. It's not much to look at atm but I have big plans for it first thing is to strip the shitty paint that we had done but the painter flaked out in the middle of the job. Then it's getting a fresh coat of paint. planning on painting it the same color white as my sc.
Then I get some new wheels and tires and a bunch of lil upgrades.
http://i274.photobucket.com/albums/jj247/madmans240/Mobile%20Uploads/20150607_203745_zps7lzhsjhf.jpg (http://s274.photobucket.com/user/madmans240/media/Mobile%20Uploads/20150607_203745_zps7lzhsjhf.jpg.html)

Finally back to my sc. Got the exhaust side of the engine torn down to get the new turbo and wastegate setup on.

Got the new wastegate flanges welded on the manifold and dump tube thanks to Johnny from Jtrans motorsports
http://i274.photobucket.com/albums/jj247/madmans240/Mobile%20Uploads/20150710_170230_zpsifllqxcw.jpg (http://s274.photobucket.com/user/madmans240/media/Mobile%20Uploads/20150710_170230_zpsifllqxcw.jpg.html)

Going to get the manifold flanges milled on Monday so I won't have gasket issues again. Once the new gaskets get here I'll get the turbo mocked up so I can get the 90°elbow welded on the intake housing so it matches up to my ic piping

[madman's240]

Well finally got everything milled and got the manifold and turbo installed. Then I finally got the correct elbow to weld onto my turbo to line up with my existing intercooler piping. Took the car yesterday and dropped it off to get it welded and get the downpipe modified to work with the gtx.

Also got my flex fuel sensor,pigtail and an fittings in.

http://i274.photobucket.com/albums/jj247/madmans240/Mobile%20Uploads/20150823_182425_zps2rwtog4w.jpg (http://s274.photobucket.com/user/madmans240/media/Mobile%20Uploads/20150823_182425_zps2rwtog4w.jpg.html)

Got everything mounted and plumbed. Once I get the car back I'll be wiring it up.

http://i274.photobucket.com/albums/jj247/madmans240/Mobile%20Uploads/20150824_152546_zpsfqyennq7.jpg (http://s274.photobucket.com/user/madmans240/media/Mobile%20Uploads/20150824_152546_zpsfqyennq7.jpg.html)

Also got the new pro efi i- boost controller still gotta wire it up when I get the car back then it will be ready to go get re-tuned for all the new upgrades.

http://i274.photobucket.com/albums/jj247/madmans240/Mobile%20Uploads/IMG_20150723_131413_zpsgzehn0qe.jpg (http://s274.photobucket.com/user/madmans240/media/Mobile%20Uploads/IMG_20150723_131413_zpsgzehn0qe.jpg.html)


And finally I got a few things to hopefully let it run cooler. First is a rivet on hood vent. The second is a pbm coolant swirl pot. After talking to a few of the Jz guys in fd they recommended that I get one so I gotta plumb it up after the car gets back.

[madman's240]

Well I finally got the car back from my friend that did the elbow and downpipe modified. The car was gone for a month cause he got so backed up. Asoon as I got it back me and my brother started tearing into to get all the cooling system upgrades done.

http://i274.photobucket.com/albums/jj247/madmans240/20150924_230903_zps3sgmpwvi.jpg (http://s274.photobucket.com/user/madmans240/media/20150924_230903_zps3sgmpwvi.jpg.html)

While the car was gone I ordered a cheap overflow tank to get rid of the stock one that was just zip tied to my bash bar it showed up the day I picked the car up.
http://i274.photobucket.com/albums/jj247/madmans240/20150923_183218_zpsylue3esd.jpg (http://s274.photobucket.com/user/madmans240/media/20150923_183218_zpsylue3esd.jpg.html)

After playing around with some ideas we decided to mount the swirl pot and the overflow on the fan shroud. In the process we decided to space the fan shroud off the radiator some.

Finally after all that we got around to cutting the hood and mounting the vent.

[madman's240]

I thought I had a few good after pics of the hood but I guess not I'll try to take some today or tomorrow.You can barely see it in the pics I have.

O yeah as you can see hiding in the back of the last pic I bought a 2nd Gen gs300 from a friend. To clean up for a daily since I'm trying to sell my 350z.
Threw on a set off my xxr's so I could give my friend his wheels back. I kinda like the stock height on 18's look.

[madman's240]

As promised I finally got a few more pics of the hood vent the whites a Lil off because it's just rattle can white so it's not as glossy but it's good enough for now I'm working on getting the car wrapped this offseason.

The car goes to d3 performance Monday to get retuned for the new setup

[madman's240]

So my last trip to d3 was a bust I got carried away and put to big of a wastegate spring and the car was pushing 30+psi and blowing out the spark.

Well brought the car home changed to the spring setup my tuner recommended. Then I pulled the plugs to see if one was worse than the others (possible bad coil cause spark to blow out). To my suprize all 6 plugs were fouled then I got to thinking I ran the car on 93 cause I was originally going todo a flex fuel tune. But more places have e85 close to me now so I decided to stay straight ethanol. So I put in a new set of plugs called and rescheduled my tune.

Well today I finally got to hear my baby scream on the new turbo and boost controller setup.

The I-boost system from pro efi is amazing I can switch power settings literally by the turn of a knob.

It's make around 300 whp just on gate pressure (13.5psi)
All the way upto 495.8 whp and 500.3 ftlb tq on high boost (25psi)

http://i274.photobucket.com/albums/jj247/madmans240/Mobile%20Uploads/IMG_20151027_123415_zpseva7qkld.jpg (http://s274.photobucket.com/user/madmans240/media/Mobile%20Uploads/IMG_20151027_123415_zpseva7qkld.jpg.html)



I also finally sold my 350z. Well traded I ended up getting a offer I couldn't refuse a Sr s13 hatch and a pretty good amount of cash.
Unfortunately I took it to lonestar bash and broke it from going a Lil too hard. But I'm getting a deal on a built sr from a friend so I'll be making a build thread on the hatch pretty soon as me and my brother tear into it. Since the car will mostly be for him and for me to use for demo's and other events.

[sleeper108]

It was nice meeting you last weekend man! (It's Stephen Leeper from the pit next to Ajay) Glad to see your SC is running and hopefully smoothly from here on out.

It was nice meeting you last weekend man! (It's Stephen Leeper from the pit next to Ajay) Glad to see your SC is running and hopefully smoothly from here on out.

Yeah same here. I wish the Sr wouldn't have went so early so we could have had more fun the track just dried up by the time it started knocking. But we're getting a built sr here within the hr and gonna rip it to it to check it out before we drop it in.

[Malik]

nice work so far... could lower the sc just a little... but great work

[madman's240]

nice work so far... could lower the sc just a little... but great work

It doesn't like lower than its at now the car squats like crazy under acceleration it starts to rub at this height if I plant and go. I'd hate to see how much it's gonna squat on run in on high boost.

So yesterday I got to take the car out to a local event for some shakedown on the new turbo setup. They were also having a competition to we're they would sponsor the 1st place driver and pay for entry fees for all the pro-am rounds next season. So I gave it a shot . Went into qualifing with the mindset that even my worst run would get me into 16 aslong as I didn't spin. First run the car spit and sputtered on run in and on entry but still pulled off a decent run. Did it a few times throughout the day I'll look into this offseason. Anyways second run went alot better got closer to the clipping points to better my first run. Ended up getting 3rd place. Well during the time between qualifing and competition started my brother went in and raised the overheating temp setting in the proefi it was set at 202 I wanted it at 220 since after 2 back to back runs the car was at its limit I wanted a Lil wiggle room incase I got thrown into a one more time. Well apparently he reloaded my old tune and deactivated my boost controller so I was stuck on gate pressure of 12 psi. I unknowingly went out for top 16 thinking this is my time to shine I have one of if not the most powerful cars. So I set the tire pressure to be able to have decent grip on the 400 hp setting do my lead run car felt laggy so I turned it up to the next setting for my chase run same thing ended up straightening out twice giving the other guy the win. After 16 they took a 10 min break to let car cool so I went out and did a couple laps to keep the crowd entertained during so I focused on the boost gauge and noticed I was only getting 12-12.5 psi so I pull up to my support vehicle at grid checked for boost leaks nothing so I kept driving was doing ok runs but didn't have the power I had all day. Comp. Starts back up I give my car a break. Asoon as it ended I went and did tandem practice with my friends till I gave up cause the car was gripping up so much. Loaded up brought the car home ran inside grabbed my flash drive that I left and reloaded the new tune so the cars back to working properly.

All in all it was a good event. Car did amazing until the tune incident. I got to figure out what upgrades I need todo during the off season so far it looks like I'm just ditching the electric fans and going back to a clutch fan and shroud like I've been trying to for a couple months but my dad wanted to to give the efans another chance.

I think I finally got all the bugs worked out. Took the car out last Sunday for a shakedown and to get more seat time to get use to the car togo into the 2016 season with more knowledge of how to drive the car better.

But before going I installed the new clutch fan and shroud. We also moved the old electric fans and put them on the intercooler to help pull more air in until I get around to building some proper ducting.
It worked pretty well the car only got to 205 but with the extra fans it cooled down really fast.

Well I took the car out for one last shakedown before the season starts. Car started the day running pretty rough I did about 10 runs and came in to change coilpacks cause it felt like the cars was on 4/5 cylinders. Changed them with my backup set ran the same so we started checking for the dead cylinder by pulling coilpack connectors sure enough #2 was dead started searching was about to give up and load the car up when the wire to the connector popped out of the heat shield so for a temp fix we butt spliced it till I could get home and order new pigtails. Went back and had a blast the rest of the day killing a pair of nitto nto5's. First time running them and Omg I'm in love grip for days, and tons of smoke.

Well rd.1 was last weekend and the car did amazing only issue it had all weekend was the e85 I got was too good for the tune at 95% ethanol so I mixed a Lil 87 to drop it to 80-85%. With the new bracket system we are using in tx I'm not 100% on how I finished but I won my first battle and lost my second due to pushing to wide and missing the inner clip. But I had a blast and learned alot about the car and ready to go into rd.2.

I hope the aero stays on permanently.

[madman's240]

I actually sold my kit cause the fitment wasn't that good plus I didn't wanna destroy it. Hopefully someone comes out with a poly version of that kit soon or I'll get the auto couture poly kit I seen on one of the sc fb groups

Haven't updated this in forever we just had round 4 this past weekend so I do a quick recap to get caught up.

Round 2 was kind of a bust. Saturday practice went well the car had a bit of understeer do to the super fast entry and my worn out fronts. But all in all I felt comfortable to get through the weekend. Well Saturday night /Sunday morning it stormed so they changed the track to a slower hotlap style course. The rain went away and the track started to dry up but still had a few wet spots. In my top 32 battle the course dried alot from the time we finished practice till my battle so we're I expected the wet to pull me to the outside to set me up for the sweeper the car gripped up and went to the inside line causing me to miss the front clip costing me the 32 battle.

Took the car out to get a Lil seat time between round 2 and 3 since we had a decent break. Got to tandem with my friends. It was a great laid back event ended up driving the car to and from the event.

After that I started to prep the car for round 3. Ended up making a front spring change and got some fresh fronts have 3 different brands being on back order I decided to go with some nitto nto5's.

So round 3 was a ton of fun between regaining the rear grip I lost when I removed the front sway bar by making the spring change and the fresh fronts the car felt the fasted it has been in awhile. I had confidence to place the car on the wall and drive away. Competition came around top 32 I was fun ended doing a one more time so on my lead I decided to try to shake off the following car and got super close to the first wall barely avoiding contact following driver ended up spinning going up to the second wall I advanced in top 16 I ended up getting another omt call after a very close battle I ended up losing. But I was stoked the car preformed so well.
