I am glad to see other member's updating there builds. Adam, TurboTuner, and Gotenk. For the new guys, keep it up. I also and trying to change things up. I need to modify my manifold. This requires cutting and welding back. Once I do that I am golden. Here is a vid. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=...

Bro, I noticed you said 12mm RB headstuds and going to a machine shop. I hear that the new ARP CA 625+ are the headstuds the latest and greatest headstands to go with. The 12mm cover a good amount of area but the material of the stud is still ARP2000 quality. Which when compared to one another they...

CHAPTER3: Adam's fantastic voyage from supercharged blandness to turbocharged bliss 8) I talked a good friend of mine into letting me use his garage for "3 weeks" to sort out the engine issues and install the turbo setup I'm going to try and get the block out tomorrow and get it on the en...

Looking good..... are you gonna be running staged injection? What injector size?

Any specs or contact info for the intake manifold flange?

Nice sounds good I will try to attend this tuning session.... if I don't work that is.

Cool truck..... are those US 94 wheels heavy? Is it a 4 X 4 ?

If factory is 10mm and running 12mm is hard enough inreally dont think 14mm will work. You can easily push over 40psi on 11mm is the motor is properly built. And higher boost doesnt necessarily mean more power Are you running 12mm head studs? Who is telling you that it is "hard enough"? W...

Any thoughts on running a 9/16" head stud which is like running a 14mm? I saw on the Subaru forums some guys have successfully run those and/or even 13mm headstuds for 40+ psi applications. I also see a lot of Custom Age 625+ ARP hardware which is said to be better than l19 for the EVO's on the...

there is one more thing you need to do to enable individual injector drivers: where it says: injector drivers: standard drivers, change that to additional drivers. Currently, you are probably only injecting fuel on 2 cyls. Hope that does it! I was about to say... in the video this guys car sounded ...

Damn nice attention to detail this car is a canvas and your the artist... Props on the proper DIY usage of time and skills.

Damn those ideas seem very good man it would make the forum a bit more automated.

Damn that's badass I love the coupe model of those years because everyone says they are A Lot lighter than s14s. I didn't know that diff worked on the S13 subframe I always thought it was just hearsay . Good luck .... 240sx diff swaps are mad annoying to say the least. Some say the s14 subframe is b...

Do you use a hydraulic vehicle lift to help you remove the engine? sounds kind of fast. I use a harbor freight 2 ton cherry picker. It has got its use =) With as much as I have pulled my engines in the past, I have learned to make things easy to get at and disconnect quickly. Heck, i have already h...

timed 2.5 hours to pull the block 1 hour to put it back in took a video of me pulling the engine and putting it back in. just need to get my camera to connect to the computer and ill post the vids (accelerated/pseudo timelapse of course, who wants to stare at my backside for 2.5 hours) Damn that su...

which makes me wonder why you didn't just go with an aluminum one. aluminum short block - 1000$ (bare block) iron block that can be bored out to use same internals at aluminum short block and use every single part the aluminum block uses, can take >30psi boost in stock form, has a shorter stroke/hi...

When the motor goes I will just swap in a VG. I have the tranny already. I love cars regardless of domestic or import. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WMVIDi-2_FQ I saw that video lol that car is badass. I have never seen one of those things wheelie that guy must have set the torque converter or so...

Sounds badass... every time you drive you probably think in your head "merica" between shifts :D . If you don't start doing it watch how re assured you get about not being turbo'd yet.....lol (just don't turn into a cocky douche). Cheers. Hah! makes me want to get a big window banner that...

To convert kPa to PSI: (Actual kPa - 100)/7. 280kpa-100=180/7=25.7psi. Vice versa for psi to kPa. And the said we would never use algebra again in life! SMH... Let me tell you, Nissan messed up with QR valve cover design. I had mad oil in 1,3, and 4 spark plugs. Turns out the spark plug tube seals ...

Sounds badass... every time you drive you probably think in your head "merica" between shifts . If you don't start doing it watch how re assured you get about not being turbo'd yet.....lol (just don't turn into a cocky douche). Cheers.

LC is launch control. As you can see from the dyno runs above, the boost starts at 30psi then tapers back down. In due time, I will have it dialed out. Oh got it. I don't know how to convert that "mbar" to "psi" I see it on the right of the bottom chart though. LOL in the video ...

I know if I run radials with lc, I can get a 1.8 60ft and get low 12's easy. I really want 11.8 or lower to really say it is an 11 sec car. As for the turbo, we weld the flapper shut and run an external wg. I run a Ultra gate 38. The stock wg opens at 26psi. I have 15psi spring currently. I am gonn...

I have never met him before. What do you mean with out the "mod" as in welding up the rack? This guy...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VqTxhYrpz8o Mod for the rack: http://www.nicoclub.com/archives/howtoo-steeringrack.html Thats sucks man I am still stuck between a rock and a hard place a...

If I go somewhere, she is running good and $30 dyno, I'll do it. Now that I got her straightened up, I can focus on the other mani. I do have to get tires soon. I don't want to be like bigphil in his RB30DET 240z. Power steering was removed 2 weeks ago. I don't mind the manual rack without the mod....

Nice, so do you plan on going to the dyno with the old exhaust manifold?

Are you still running no PowerSteering?

Damn that sucks you would of thought this things stick out to the point where you would notice it's not bolting in correctly.

I don't understand your question about valve guide wear. elaborate on that one. Well what I am saying is that theoretically speaking in MY mind, the valve guides could potentially wear down prematurely especially if they are of poor quality considering the fact that the valve open and close at a di...

Damn, I like this idea seems pretty badass.

What are your thoughts though on lets say premature valve guide wear? Could that also be a contributing factor along with oiling issues on just the valve train as a whole like you suggested in your initial post?

Did you get that manifold from that kev guy on the Facebook ka groups? Yea. It is funny how it worked out. I was like man I remember this cat selling a mani. I originally commented on his post saying it was a nice piece. When talking to him, I found out he was SFL as well. Months passed by and this...

I'm on eagle rods. I don't know if I'm maxing them out eagle told me 750hp was the limit which isn't at the wheels but there strong rods and I only rev to 7200 approx. but I'd say anything above 750whp go with crower there about $650 best bang for the buck. The fuel pump was my fault I was basicall...

I don't have a team maybe you got me confused with rosado racing from pr. My set up is slightly changing due to a spun bearing and fuel pump taking a dump which is why my engine been running lean the last few races. I have a few options such as solid rear axle, billet wheel, stronger rods, c4 + nit...
