So today my misfires went away, i was stoked! I started pushin some boost again, like 12lbs. I go hang with my friend, its raining. I pop hood to show him what i have done. My windshield wipers are going, when i shut off my car they stop in the middle of my windsheild. I open the hood, and i dont have shocks for it so my hood goes all the way up. I went all the way up with the hood, pushed the windsheild wiper into the window and cracked the shit out of it. Then im cruisin home hittin only 11-12lbs of boost and it starts runnin like shit and buttloads of smoke comes into my interior and its runnin on straight up 4-5 cylinders. I believe i blew the motor again on only 12lbs, what the fuck. anyways im thinking about partin the car because i have the new "reliable Z" and gettin a little money back out of the money pit and investin in a new project. Probably will be a N/A VH45 240Z and then a remote turbo it shortly after. i dunno, advise? i have another VG on the side of my house but dam, when does it end. I only run like 18 degrees timing on 10lbs.

My luck tells me VG's are piles of shit, but i have seen to much success, i have only hoped for it in my case, but never see it. Goodbye VG when it comes to power, stock tuning or go V8 for me i suppose.... i know its capable, but i get fucked in every attempt, i might as well tried to make this power out of a shitty piece of shit KA motor

Do you have a wideband? EGT? I bet you ran lean and killed it. Do you tune if for part throttle? I can't tell you have many cars I have seen die at "low" boost and low rpms cause it was never tuned for anything other than full throttle.Chuck Stong

yes i have a LM1 wideband, and tune it for about 10.5:1 air fuels under full throttle, super rich and run very little timing in comparison to others. And its tuned half way decent for part throttle, i run closed loop with my SDS. for those tellin me about tuning and lack of driving who run stock tuning can tell me about tuning once you get a standalone and actually do it

hey there,
sorry to hear about your engine failure/windshield mishap,
i read that you were interested in swapping a VH45DE into a 240z.
it involves a shitload of work, thats all i have to say,
the pics on my dads car domain page will speak for themselves.
