I like the green

Thank you all for your help! looks like my build will be a lot cheaper than anticipated. Do you like your Enthalpy tune? I was thinking of using them, but I really want a proper dyno tune done. I love the tune. Going with a plug and play ECU is beautiful (my 1st turbo'd car) made things so simple. ...

At least your making a good choice in doing a rebuild instead of slapping a turbo on since you were low on 2 cylinders. I should do a rebuild soon but I enjoy the reaction I get when I tell people my setup and the mileage on the motor. Slowly getting parts is a good way to go as long as your organiz...

Yeah im really taking my chances with my motor, but my budget at the time didn't allow me a rebuild and turbo with all the parts I wanted (ramhorn mani over log etc.) Until I get the time and money I suppose Ill test the limits of a high mileage KA. But for safety reasons and the power you want to m...

Your readings about pushing 300hp on stock internals with a good tune are indeed true. I have a high mileage block (230k) and it hasnt given up on me yet. (10psi on a 50 trim) :D Your bottom end list looks pretty good, I would possibly change the thermostat and little things of that area as an extra...

Welcome, get some footage of your first drive with it turbo'd take a ton of pics too. Its nice to have a timeline of all the work you do from start to finish.

E85 will definitely keep things safer than just pump gas. The setup you want to make sounds a lot like what I am currently running (minus cams mine are still stock). 350whp seems to be still safe for pump gas (from what I've read). If I rebuilt my motor (my block is super tired) I would feel comfort...

Thanks YadPwns and Emo_Tactical9,

Its quite fun to drive as a daily . I still think its slow because I havent gotten to compare it to any fast cars . Its even fun that feeling of getting into boost but not hitting full boost, like knowing if you floor it you'll get sucked into your seat.

Thankss, im excited for when I finally get to rebuild this motor or a spare block so I can see 15psi

and not to rag on anyone but O&J performance is retarded...may be knowledgeable but as for performance parts just lacks in quality. My friend bought a cam and when he received it the lift/duration was all fcuked up so he sent it back and just NOW after months of dealing with him just now got a ...

I considered a gaming computer but all my gaming is done on xbox. Speakers in the mac aren't the best but Astro A40s make up for it.

I used to have a pc before I went with the mac. It crapped out on me after a year. This mac is 2 years old now still like brand new. I should just use bootcamp and buy windows software so I can use both . But yeah if I did sell the mac I could buy forged pistons and rods lol.

I forgot to mention I have a macbook . So dvdvideosoft doesn't work for me. Thanks for the link though 500hpKA240sx, it would be a great if I had a pc.

One of my friends used to have a 550whp s2k and it made under 380tq :? lol. One night at a local drag strip he spun his first 2 runs and his 3rd run hooked 2nd and blew the trans lol on street tires. But in the end it was still a fast car. Ive seen an F20C in a datsun 510 and it was pretty cool, but...

That would be awesome.

^ wow I had no idea they made short drives that small. I'm definitely going to pick one of those up tomorrow. Luckily my new head unit has a usb port :). Anyone know a fast way to get music from youtube to itunes? Theres a youtube to mp3 free conversion thing but sometimes it doesnt upload the whole...

You sir need to buy a gopro.

Welcome. Enjoy all the info on the site, hours and hours of good threads to read.

Hey everybody, just curious of what type or types of music you all listen to. I've had the same cd in my car for about 8 months now and when I updated itunes I lost all my music. Maybe list some bands genres or just certain songs from artists you enjoy? I listen to about everything except classical ...

lol. I've had that same cd in the car for like 8 months. I should probably get some new tunes

Went for a quick drive today and cruising my AFR's are 15.6 ish (depend on how little throttle I use, like maintaining 70mph) full boost at almost 10psi (like 9.8) wideband is showing me 11.4. Just figured I'd update with real numbers although my guesstimations were pretty close. :D Nice! I forgot ...

I can dig it

Yessir

Twisted the boost controller a few times and now up to 10psi

cruising im around 15-16s. My idle doesn't show up on my wideband, could be a number of things but my car idles beautifully so I havent investigated it. In boost I believe im around 11.4-11.7 I never look at my wideband as much as I should. :? Ill go for a drive tomorrow and confirm my numbers. Also...

Very nice! Id love to run a 350z or a 370z. But when people hear my wastegate they stay away

Ive got an Enthalpy tune and I love it. Plugged it in and started first try. My motor has alot of mileage on it (230k) and its been strong on 9psi, but I'd say the its the tune thats keeping my motor alive :) Also, I think im doing pretty good on gas mileage but im not exactly sure how many mpgs im ...

Welcome, sounds like youve got a good start there. 255k isnt so bad if your just driving it stock. Ive got 230k on mine and its got a little bit of boost

a 6262 would be too laggy for just making 350hp. Its better if your looking to make 500+ hp. I'd say go with a simple 50 trim. Thats what I have and its good till about 400hp if you really push it. Makes full boost around 3500 as well.
