I am concerned a bit about losing some bottom end power. I have founds some limitations on the JWT map, and there is a flat spot right at 3k rpm that was never there with the smaller turbo. Hell, t...
I was boosting hard in 3rd gear doing over 80mph, and locked the motor up. This was many years ago when the engine lost all oil from a massive oil leak. I was playing around with one of my buddies,...
I went through 3 gearboxes, that's when I figured out the QG stacks were the same. So I rebuilt a couple boxes and sold some. I only broke 2 QG stacks. So total I'm talkin like 8 gearstacks across ...
I would say p10/b13/b14 good to about 300 depending on use, abuse, fluid, clutch etc.
The B15 and P11 70v boxes are good to over 400whp, after that you will probably break them. I broke many.
The 50 series is still not as strong. They used these in the maxima and anyone boosted still blew them up, but they make billet gears for them now. PAR?
While on the subject of exhaust, I want a quieter muffler as well. I am using the Magnaflow straight through 3" muffler with resonator on my VRS exhaust.
I'm crossing my fingers. The 6 speed swap came with recommendations from Greg V, so I got this Spec unit from him for a 240sx. I had to buy a spec V tob. I got a 6-puck with superclamp option on th...
Try switching exhaust on SR16 cams early and you will notice a quicker buildup of boost, but on any of the 2.0 cams I have tried it loses a lot of power. I guess the cam timing of the 1.6 cams just...
I'd say, from my experiences, anywhere from 4800-5500 tends to be a smooth point. The SR16 cams will switch earlier, like 4000-4500 or so, without dipping in power delivery.
It won't affect your tune, but you will be able to load the cells you won't see while in 3rd. Like I said, peak numbers may be just slightly lower, but you will see the graph shift left a bit.
Peak power is generally lower in 4th gear, but the turbo will boost quicker. That's my experience with over 100 dyno pulls on my car and tons more on several different vehicles.
I suppose it could be a bad connection or wire, but it is really rare for these issues to manifest without some sort of previous trama. Accident, or replacing the headlamp.
You happen to know what dyno this is being performed on? It's a dynojet, that's obvious. But the new 224 and 424 models readout a lot differently than the old 248c I'm using for testing.
