Message Lol, as a friend of mine said after driving the TT" "man, this car just wants to be spanked!!"

:1. how is your gas mileage in the city with aggressive boosting?

A: are you kidding? Boost = crap mileage and big grins.

:2. do you feel a difference between sport/touring? honestly, can't really distinguish the two.

A: yes, sport is 'bouncier' than touring. However, I consistently get better autoX times on the touring mode. 3 years, no fluke.

:3. is it safe to say that i don't have a significant boost leak if i'm hitting close to 14psi and holding it strong?

A: That's what the stock gauge lets you believe. Boost leak test. Now.

:4. the z came installed with an hks turbo timer. is 30sec sufficient or should i keep it a full minute?

A: As a non-turbo timer driver, my advice is worth a grain of salt. Drive without boosting to your destination for a minute, no turbo timer necessary. Moving air > idling. If coming off a hard highway run, yes, rack it up to a minute, or, alternately, drive around for a few minutes without boosting, it can be done :)

:5. will i get more power with a boost controller if i'm already hitting close to 14psi? a tick below the 14 mark.

Yes. Less boost creep, provided the EBC is installed correctly. Also, see answer # 3

:6. how much of a difference in feel with aftermarket intercoolers? what about aftermarket exhaust?

A: Incredible. Get both, however, go better than E-Bay IC/s and ghetto/rice exhaust.

:7. bov. what's your fav? no flames please =)

A: Um, next question please.

Regards,





The 300ZX Turbo is a dance; it's a song;
it's rolling, roaring automotive art.
There is no color that doesn't suit it.
There is no mood-lifting chemical
substance it cannot replace.

I was more wondering how you set your climate control to 22* lol, it would be that fastest freezer on wheels!
