Yea me too man !


Ok so just picked the car up no review yet only drove 2 blocks to the gym. But I did talk to Sillen finally ! They offer the me a replacement and agreed there is an issue with the drivers side BUT!... Told me they wouldn't pay for it to be replaced I've have to ask the vendor I bought them from? Ok so how's that make sense? Your productive is defective and you've admitted this but will make the vendors fund me the reinstall cost. So basically I have ask Kyle at import parts pro to refund me $$$ for something has no control over? Unless they refund him , his funds also? To me that just doesn't make sense :/

 

How is the NVH with the poly mounts? Also have you had a chance to hit one of those off ramps? Is it vibrating still?

 

I don't have engine mounts planned as a mod until 2018, so while I'm super curious too, I'm in no rush. I'm sure he'll comment soon enough.

 

That doesn't really seem right...

 

No, you start at the point of purchase, you don't leap frog direct to the manufacturer. The are RMA channels with large manufactureres. Things get complicated and more expensive for everyone when you go outside the standard operating procedures.

 

So finally got some time in driving and assessing the mounts. 1 the headers do not hit, 2 The NVM is minimal when driving, upper RPMS there is a little more that stock 6k+RPMs.
The really difference I can feel is at idle , sitting at light or stop sign, It's there but nothing you can not deal with heck i almost don't notice it anymore. The first few days I was"feeling for it" but normally driving , talking or listen to the radio it's nothing to worry about. So the Z mounts are very good IMO and solved my issue or the headers hitting with sacrificing the ride with added NVM.

 

Oh hell yeah!!! I'm buying me some Z1 mounts now all because of you man, Thank you again!! How is the responsiveness now with the mounts? More instant? Also what did you dyno at with headers?

 

The throttle is crazy instant, feels like drive by wire, but not sure how much that is the Z1 mounts, some of it is but most is in Seb's tune, the throttle is SUPER touchy now I love it!!

Dyno is in my tuning thread, some things change( dyno load) but I saw a 12 WHP gain overall. Then numbers are lower because we changed the laod. But I did do on pull at the end with the "old" load settings and saw a 10 WHP gain.

but lets just say my base line tune pull was 269 WHP and my final was 285 WHP!

 

So Seb is an Ecutek tuner? I thought you used John at Visconti?

 

With engine movement reduced, you may notice more control when powering hard out of corners.

Modifications like this are as much about handing improvements as they are power mods... which is kind of fun, because it doesn't seem immediately intuitive that it would be either. But it is.

 

I did, But heard and heard how good he was over on The370Z forum, seemed Visconti was absent over there, and I couldn't get him to do a remote tune :/..
I had been in contact with Seb before I used Visconti so decided to give him a shot. Very happy with the results. Will be using Seb again in the future if I pull the trigger on cams, If I do that I'll getting a head package from import parts pro and just swapping heads . IDK we'll see still waiting on whats happening with the AAM intake. I've contacted them also.

 

awesome thread.. happy i finally found it..

how exactly does remote tunes work?

 

Thanx man, Mine was I was just on the phone(text) with Seb and we would make a pull, I would log it, then we emailed him the log and the dyno output. He would then make adjustments and send a revised tune back. Then repeat

 

ah gotcha..

btw.. put more in this thread.. i kinda hard to follow you build when its on the entire forum.. :P

 

PNP heads with upgraded exhaust cams sounds fun to me. Hmmm...maybe NA would be more fun. Are you still looking to swap to 3.692 gears F&R? Might as well with the engine out. That's what i'd consider if I stay NA.
