This is why my car is so slow...

I am making great peak power, but when I shift I drop just around 2000rpm depe...

The amount of power used from the AC compressor (around 30whp) would be more than the gains you could expect from the cooler intake charge.

Some more pics of the old stuff.

This spring was about to come out. There were 2 more like this one.

Here you can see the glaz...

Ya that plate is important. Go figure. I skipped putting it in once because I accidentally put the flywheel on without it. Not good. It caused the pp to hit the bell housing and wear a nice groove ...

I hope I don't need to "slip" the clutch, because this one will have rather quick and harsh engagement. At least, that is what I expect. I don't wanna break the tranny or axles so of course I am go...

We should have them made here for cheaper. Then people can have all their options right here. N1 copy, 20V, and the 20V N1 hybrid. Perhaps.

This clutch makes me a little nervous. Clutch engagem...

The 512 is good for an NA car that you don't really care about all-out grip. The 502 is retarded. They need to get rid of that POS tire. Sucks in the dry, and so horrible in the rain. I had these w...

I took the clutch out today for something a little stronger. You could see the glazing on the pucks from when she slipped hard on my last dyno run on high boost. Yikes. The springs looked okay, but...

1600 are good for around 800whp or so iirc.

Yes, it is made for trucks. trucks have more strict wear standards, but less strict emissions standards. Perfect.

I live in Utah, so I usually get an all season tire. The BEST all-season tire I have ever had is the BFG traction TA. Amazing wet traction! Awesome in the occasional snow. They were my favorite, wa...

I just pulled a 180K mile DE apart with a crank pulley and wp pulley kit. Cyl 1 and 3 rod bearings were worn down to the copper, and nearly spun. I was curious why this was so, but now that I think...

Well, I don't know how much credit I can take. I've always been willing to share any info, but my car has always been the VET underperformer. Hopefully this changes very soon. :bigthumbup:

Ya the numbers are very similar. But this VE is bone stock. No internal work done. Just playing with cams now ;)

Element made like 412 on solid 13psi or something like that. Very amazing numbers.

I saw this. I would do it, but I really don't think I would like the 35r. Big top end, but not as responsive. I want response over power. Even if I only make 400whp, if it reacts quickly it will do...

M1 sucks. I used to use the 5w30. But I have 2 friends with under 130K miles who change their oil religiously and spun rod bearings. One was a celica 2ZZ motor I rebuilt, the other was a B18. These...

^^^ Right, the reason Nissan put a screen on the Z32 maf is to promote laminar flow across the maf element. Having the maf anywhere near turbulance will affect the voltage and make the computer do ...

The pennzoil has a high shear strenght. Um I would go with a 5w40 or 15w40 to start. Only run the 50 in the summer time when it is 75*F+

Perhaps these engines are burning a bit of oil from sitting for so long?

I would love to see a N1 dyno at 8500rpm. It will be very impressive. Peak power I would imagine is going to be up there around 8000rpm?

I'm sure we are all here axiously awaiting your results.

Because they don't need one ;)

I think it is because they have extra baffling inside the valve cover.

This is an sr20VE 20V version. It has 204ps instead of 187 like the older version. Head flows better, bigger cams, better exhaust manifold etc. It has the diff valve cover and that is about it. It ...

Nope on the CV axles. Everything else will bolt right up for FWD.

Wow, congrats man. Sounds like fun!

Well, I can tell when a lead bearing is scuffed it doesn't seem to damage the crank as bad. I guess if you were rebuilding your engine every season this would save you some money. The lead catches ...
