FAST EZ-EFI Retrofit For Datsun 280Z

[@TheTreidyh]

We finally got our kit from zcardepot in. Drove it 100 miles as a sea trial. Much better performance and dependability. Like hand held computer too. Lot of real time data

[@Redline280zChannel]

Tom Reidy old car meets new tech 👍

Just a word of advice. Set your IAC to 5 don't use the idiot bar it will set your IAC to high. Thus will cause the AF ratio to jump around your AF target. RPM will jump around as well. This info I go strait from FAST. And has helped my setup. Fuel economy still sucks.

[@Redline280zChannel]

my rpm's are not jumping around but i'll check it out

[@twoeightythreez]

Once you get your cold start and warmup cells perfect, once your done tuning for max power, you can tune for fuel mileage. People don't realize how lean you can run an engine under light load, which is why the fuel economy sucks with most standalone tunes. No store bought tune is gonna prioritize economy, you have to do that yourself by playing with timing and VE tables. The MS2 controlled 280z turbo i had back in my service days, I had it pulling 29mpg on the highway and 24mpg mixed, and that was including driving it the way you're supposed to drive a Z. LOL i didnt use self tune, i did it myself over weeks of driving. Thats what makes a difference. Auto tune is only to get you in the ballpark.

[@WhiteMagick1000]

Can't wait for the video on the installation. Looking at getting the same kit myself.

[@Redline280zChannel]

i should have that up sometime next week

[@SoFLaZ06]

im waiting too lol :)

[@paulshamblin6260]

Love the set up. Great car. Nice tone to the exhaust. Thx for posting.

[@aaronlive15]

How's it holding up after 6 years?

[@sct4004]

Great job! Are you running a stock engine? What is your exhaust set up? Sounds great! Headers?

[@Redline280zChannel]

sct4004 6 into 1 header and 2.5 inch exhaust

[@mikegadoury6172]

Great video and nicely done. I'm considering this set-up for my Z and I'm very interested to hear your opinions in the follow up video after getting through most of the systems adaptive learning cycle. Thanks - this has been very helpful.

[@TheFelepeno]

How difficult was it to plug everything in? I imagine it wasn't too hard getting everything set up but did it take a lot of time?

[@Redline280zChannel]

It's pretty simple shouldn't take more than a couple hours to do the wiring

[@thetoolman3]

Thanks for posting. A little off-topic. But what muffler are you using with the 6-1? It sounds fantastic!

[@Redline280zChannel]

its an apexi evolution r muffler.

[@TheTreidyh]

I enjoy your videos. My son just started this kit on my 76 z, and we noticed injector wires not labeled plug specific, even though wire pairs are different color coded. Did it matter?

[@Redline280zChannel]

Tom Reidy I just plugged them with the longest wires going toward the front of the engine

[@James_z32]

I believe this injectors fire at the same time anyway

[@georgegray6888]

Yep! I believe it's called batchfire injection.

[@briangarcia364]

How did you know what injector wire not to use? Instructions are not very clear

[@tacticaltrioadventure5224]

Broo looks super omg I loved

[@TheStripperSteel]

Great work and car looks amazing.

[@VIKESARERIGHT]

Great video, Do you still have your airflow meter? I’m having trouble with mine... is it for sale?

[@Redline280zChannel]

sorry, the airflow meter is going to a friend

[@paulshamblin6260]

How much. I have one

[@ApexRace]

Do you have also a video about removing the intake?

[@Redline280zChannel]

Apex Race no but it's not very difficult to remove

[@SoFLaZ06]

I was looking at this, looks like it's a universal kit FAST offers ( hence the V8 harness). what is Z car depot adding to the kit to make it Z specific?

[@Redline280zChannel]

you get the adapter plate for the TPS, the pipe that goes in place where the AFM was and all the sensors you need

[@SoFLaZ06]

why did you go this route vs megasquirt?

[@Redline280zChannel]

i didnt really look for other options. i just found this setup and went for it

[@TheTreidyh]

SoFLaZ06 o.o

[@MrJearley6]

Thank you for this video!!!

[@CarpartmentLife]

Great info...considering this or the megasquirt for my 280z.

[@rgoscale]

Any updates on this? This kit seems like a good option for my build, but you are one of the only people I've seen use it so far from my searches. Are you still running all of the factory ignition parts or did you have to change out any of that to work with this system? Thanks for posting!

[@Redline280zChannel]

datsun-aquatics nothing is changed on the ignition system. I'll get a video out showing how to set this up

[@rgoscale]

Awesome thank you!

[@rgoscale]

Have you done much extended driving with it since this video? Is driveability pretty smooth?

[@Redline280zChannel]

datsun-aquatics yes i drove to work and back a few times (roughly 40 miles there and back) and it runs great

[@rgoscale]

Thanks for the feedback!

[@MindDezign]

Good job good video work too!!!

[@c.a.r.projects282]

about how much is this kit!?

[@Redline280zChannel]

C.A.R. Projects it's around $1000, it comes with everything you need. Link in description

[@racketman2u]

Probably not a good idea to clean up the manifold face with the head on, you'll flick grit down the intake runners.

[@lilzhae1]

Wouldn’t wanna sell this would ya? I’m in Tacoma

[@Redline280zChannel]

i plan on keeping this car for awhile

[@lucastownsend9891]

Why. Why. Every Datsun s30 video I watch has the same stupid music??? WHY?
