Replaced the 240sx coupe :)

I've been searching for one of these since my 240sx was totalled by someone carelessly backing into it with a box truck. I've loved these cars for awhile now and I figured this was the perfect time to treat myself to a NICE car instead of the older cars I've had for the last 2 years so here she is: ...

Never mind I'm an idiot. This is a good discussion, and I'm glad it was brought up. I myself was wondering at what limit the stock fuel lines would start to restrict one's power goal on e85.

I don't think you're coming off as a dick. I think you're being very realistic but I just wanted to play devil's advocate here. For the average person with no working knowledge of tuning I couldn't agree more about a tuned' ecu/pre tuned setup.

Re: 300-350 whp in stock internals

Safe bet with AEM standalone? ... So Is it possible, with a healthy tune, to keep this much power around for a good amount of time? It's possible to have a VERY reliable stock-block KA-T at ~300rwhp. But IMO, it's NOT possible with an AEM. You'll screw with it someday and it will detonate *just a l...

MY opinion, and I mean this is my personal opinion, is I think you'll be fine. Keep your tune conserative and safe and don't get power hungry. Don't abuse the crap out of the car all day, every day and it'll last some time. Sure you can make 350whp but if you're hitting that EVERY TIMe you get out o...

I can't wait to see you do with 10:1 compression. That's what my plan is one day. Built block on corn with probably 10.5:1. I won't be seeing such high boost numbers are yourself so I don't see it being an issue and should be responsive as hell.

Well, I'd still want to get it mounted up in the front of the vehicle as best I could for the sake of airflow across the intercooler.

Personally I don't think it's too ambitious to want to bump compression a little to help with spool up and more power. A whole compression point is supposed to equate to roughly 5% more power and for those of us running corn I don't think we'll need to be too concerned with knock. On some of the e85...

anyone running higher compression?

Is there anyone running higher compression with their turbo? My ultimate plans are to bump up the compression to something like 10.5:1 in a built motor and run it off e85 for the xtra torque, power and better spool. I'm interested to hear if anyone else has done this or considered it?
