damn you jesus! lol. I don't think my car will be ready by the 30th. I am going to have it running by then hopefully, but I need pistons first.

I wouldn't worry about where the ring gaps are placed in relation to each other. The rings rotate in the bore around the pistons anyway.

but measuring the gaps needs to happen at several spots i...

it should hold 7psi for a little while if you are easy on the shifts.

I had no codes for a while. But then my rear o2 got jacked up and it has been on ever since. :(

To register the car this ...

man, my adrenaline starts pumping just thinking about it. I love drag racing. Circuit racing is also fun as hell.

What kind of mph you shootin for this year ashton? 11.1 is about where I wanna b...

The fastest nissan in Utah was a 240sx running 11.4. I know I can beat that. That is my goal. Have the fastest Nissan in Utah if even for one day. But it will be a 4 door. And FWD. That gives me 50...

I agree here. But JE, Wiseco, CP, all use Hypereutectic levels of silicon in their forgings. Arias and Ross have low silicon alloys for their pistons.

But keep in mind, having hypereutectic leve...

I have a B14 with AGX hyperco setup. It corners nicely. Soaks up small bumps but it took me a while to get the AGX on the right settings. There is no front sway bar, but the car corners very well. ...

For 2618 low silicon alloy... ~ 3.39" bore.

Piston to wall clearance- Tight end .003-.0035 Loose end .0045-.005

Lower clearance may cause issues when pistons expand. I run a .004" clearance t...

Exactly what I would recommend. Tight where it counts, no excessive blowby. And there is no way the rings will ever butt ends. They expand, just not that much. :bigthumbup:

All group III oils are parafinic hydrocarbons and are pumped from the ground.



Go figure, most synthetics that are mentioned here now are a Group III. With the exception of the GC, most "Syn...

There is a Fram/Honeywell assembly line within 15 miles of me currently. Most filters are made in the USA as far as I can tell. But everyone seems to be cheaping out on the materials. :cry:

Actually they are pretty close out of the box. Use the street specs if you want a tight motor with minimal blowby. I went with the street/strip specs for my JE pistons. .019" top ring and .021" for...

I was going for N1, but Andreas said they would be too much for my setup. All my friends tell me I need a standalone, or tuneable ECU. But I'm just not convinced that there is any reason to upgrade...

Here is another forum members Disco setup from the dyno thread just for reference

It is crazy to see 500rpm faster spool and 50lb more torque, but yet not see any gains up top.

Now If I can just get the torque to stay around 380 till 7500rpm or so. Now THAT would be an insan...

My VE tensioner has smaller teeth, but then again it could be a RR tensioner? Dang I can't remember!

while this is open, what are the timing marks on the VE pulley from L to R?

dynapacks all say flywheel, but it is in fact WHP. It is just how the dyno displays it.

New vs old. Look at the spool difference! TS FTMFW!

ya the car in the vid looks NA. ;)

Wow. Pretty good prices lol.

WWWHAAAAAT :eek:

Seriously? I thought the 20v was the end-all-be-all of the VE motors? I know they have a lot of advances, but why wouldn't it flow better? Oh well. Not like I'd ever buy one. :o...

if the clutch measures 8mm thick then it is still good. If it is too worn, replace the disk. The pp is prob just fine. Refinish it with 80 grit sandpaper to take out any hot spots. If your clutch s...

on my old disco setup the restrictor wouldn't work. The oil feed line would have been forced into a kink. Regardless, the turbo did just fine. My advice, keep the oil drain clear and short/simple. ...
