Re: Z32 BMC choices on a S14 manual

do a leak test on that booster. Thats not a joke from the other thread.

I thought the big mbc's made them lock very easily and reduce useable pedal travel.

Re: degreeing s1 jwt cams

I've got the JWT S1's as well along with the adjustable gears. I haven't decided how I am going to set them up though. The JWT cam card tells you where to start for N/A, but for turbo, they recommend retarding the intake one mark (2.5*) and advancing the exhaust by one mark (2.5*). This reduces the...

Re: Starting my KA24DE-t build soon. Advice needed!

Not on pump gas with stock cams. It might do it on a 2240lb dynojet roller, but not out on the street w the hood closed without pinging. You change the fuel youre using, then youre at the limit of the turbo and yea you can make 400 wheel.

cams?
Ported head?

if not then 300 is all youll get on 93 octane with a 3071. cams and a ported head MAYBE 350 with 93. Higher octane you can max out the turbo at about 420.

.05 is barely useable data for s/n ratio. Turn up that gain to 2. Wideband bosch sensors need that. Change that and do a pull and enjoy the increased data points. On a good tuneup knock volts will increase with rpm with no spikes. Yes it'll be 10-20hp down from a hot tuneup that is 3-6 degrees more ...

yes it will. So will making it run 10:1 afr.

series 2 is really good for knock control. Put a stock knock sensor on it and find out what the limits are.
