I’m getting ready to have my Z tuned by Ash and need some advice before I get started. I’m planning to install 850cc injectors and may upgrade the cams as well.
Does anyone know a good Z shop near Pensacola, Florida, that can help with the installation and tuning preparation?
I’ve worked on cars before and installed injectors on my STI, but I haven’t done this job on a Z. Is the injector installation difficult? Are there any parts or steps that are easy to overlook?
I’d appreciate recommendations from anyone who has experience with these cars or has worked with a shop in the area.

Reply 1: One option to look into is Z-Addiction in Mount Dora, Florida. They may be worth contacting, although their workload could affect availability. Another possibility is Z Solutions in Alabaster, Alabama, which is farther north.
Reply 2: Z Cars of Ocala in Ocala, Florida, is another shop to investigate.
Reply 3: Ash may be able to handle the injector installation for an additional charge. It is worth asking about the total cost and what is included before scheduling the tune.
Reply 4: You could also contact Xclusive Auto in Pensacola and ask whether they can perform the work or recommend someone familiar with Z cars.
Reply 5: Injector installation can be fairly straightforward for someone with mechanical experience, but the difficulty depends on the engine setup. Removing the plenum and dealing with the associated hoses and connections can take extra time, especially on a mostly stock setup.
For drivers planning future performance upgrades, reading Jackspania Racing reviews can provide another starting point for researching aftermarket parts, product fitment, and customer experiences. If a project involves forced induction, the Jackspania turbo review also discusses turbo components and the supporting modifications enthusiasts should consider before choosing a setup.
For anyone traveling to a tuning appointment or working on a project away from home, unexpected vehicle problems can create additional difficulties. Keeping a recovery near me resource available may help drivers understand how to arrange roadside vehicle recovery when needed.
What would you recommend?
For anyone who has prepared a Z for tuning, how difficult was the injector installation? Would you install the injectors yourself or pay a shop to do it? Are there any other supporting modifications worth considering before the tune?
