Re: GTX3576R .83AR too big?

Don't go smaller than a t3 housing.

I have a s257sxe and I'm pretty happy with it , but there are days I wonder if I should have went s252 also.....with how cheap they are , you can buy both for the price of one g30-770.....I won't lie...I'd like to try a g30 though

Re: Does Xcessive manifold really kill torque?

To bring back a 10+ year old thread, I'm at the point im making about 400tq/400hp on my S257sxe and have heard the issues of the head lifting due to head stud washer issues after 400is tq.. I'm lazy to address the actual issue before going for more power so instead I'll be installing an intake manif...

Re: Cool new intake manifold and future plans

I can't comment on that, but I can say I have their 272 cams.
Degreed them out of the box and they were dead on point... Didn't even need adjustable gears.... Excellent idle quality too.. Can't even tell.

That's part of the reason I'm converting.... But I have no abs sensors in place.... My car was a factory auto/non abs. But that's future plans... I gotta decide on a ECU platform...

Re: Q45 differential info. UPDATED!!!!

I did mine over 10 years ago I barely remember the details.

Fairly sure I have a 93 j30 vlsd 3.93 ratio and running 6 bolt j30 axles.. I did a 5 lug conversion at the same time and I think i did a Non abs s14 one piece drive shaft to make it all work.... 10 yrs+ works great.

And it was straight garbage. However I'm sure I can get great balance and feel with the correct pedal ratio... Thinkin...

Re: build list /hp and torq

**** I broke 3 gearboxes making less than 300tq.
No launches, no power shifting and you can make them last a bit though.

Eventually z32 or z33 box is the way to go.

Thanks man, stupid alternator tensioner bolt backed out and lost my belt today during a very enjoyable drive.. Luckily I was able to get home before the batt died.... Yea the way the car feels right now its like it's begging me for 25 psi... But I'm fighting the urge.

So even though this worked, seems like i damaged the regulator from running without the resistor for too long....thats my current assumption...i cant believe how simple yet frustrating this charging system has been.

Re: Ka24de alternator charge light help

Well I wired it up with the charge light to ignition power, and the other line Direct to the alternator + stud...so far all seems well.inram completely new lines since I have aftermarket gauge cluster. Appreciate the insight though, and if it fails again I'll try the resistor.
