Okay here's the latest. I was working on a collector last night, but I figured I would fix some things that were bugging me about the twin scroll housing.

You can't see it in any of the pics, bu...

Set to .45-.5V closed, and make sure it doesn't go over 4V at WOT.

I wouldn't re-use the gasket. The sticky stuff won't seal very well the 2nd time around.

I've been following this build for over a year now. When's it gonna be running?

You have a 20V though right? Perhaps the 20V had diff valves...

I will be working on getting the car working this week. All day today!

It won't flake if it is done well. But the temperature cut isn't that great imho. Now if you have it thermal coated by HPC with their extreme coating it will easily cut heat in half. I would do the...

From Aquamist:



So if you were running a compression ratio that would require a suppressant, then it would work. If increasing the timing doesn't result in higher bmep, then more power will ...

What is your point? The temperature that water reaches in a gasoline engine is not hot enough to chemically detach the hydrogen and water, the bond is very strong and takes extremely high temperatu...

It is the VET sentra on the motoiq forums in the nissan sub.

I am going with Andreas on this one. I don't think you will lose a ton of power, but I can't justify using the injection unless you are running nitrous or really high compression that would necessi...

no, not really. It can cause springs to want to pop out if its severe enough. But you should be fine. Just ride the clutch a bit more and you shouldn't even get any.

What is motoiq?




Jk, only the coolest new site on the web! Hey mike, did you see my dog car!?!?!?

I put my old clutch in a friends car with a new disk. It is beautiful. Perfectly smooth. As long as it doesn't chatter you will be very very happy.

The biggest problem I have with the 35r is lag. The throttle response on that turbo is dumb. For a track car I would have to hit the throttle way before the apex and hope to have boost to pull me t...

I tried to take my screws out a long time ago to loctite them and they wouldn't wanna come out. They just felt like they were going to strip, so I left them alone. I hope this never happens to me.....

Manifold still needs some work. Tight working area means a lot of clearance issues. Ugh. I will post pics when I get the chance.

looks bichin!

I am really hoping to break 400whp on low boost! Perhaps the divided larger housing, new center section, divided wastegates etc will allow me to hit that goal. I only have 47whp to go, but I am als...

Ok so I got to looking at this exhaust housing and I see something of concern. The bolts that hold the turbine housing on protrude into the exhaust flow path in one of the ports of the housing. Thi...

I got the turbo ready, the manifold is nearly done, and dyno results should come shortly. After that, I will be saving some dough for the cams. Perhaps get a good deal for being the test dummy?

Still no cam specs??? I am extremely anxious. :)

I really would like to test these cams. I want to drop them in the VET and see what happens. I should have the opportunity to test some cams in the near future when some funds are freed up. The tho...

More pics. She is coming along guys. Sorry for the hold-up. I need the car next week for work so hopefully she is done!

oh ya, i keep forgetting that the rods will prob not hold up at over 8K with that much power. I honestly don't know how they are still holding up :)
