Those look... interesting. The ring lands where the valve reliefs are look mighty, uh, thin. But as long as you don't detonate you should be ok. Considering detonation likes to focus on those edges...
So I just took her out for a quick spin. 15psi in 2nd gear rolling on the tires just break loose. Feels effortless and great. 3rd was moving too fast and when I saw boost hitting 17psi I let off. O...
crush it ala dms style and it will hold over 400whp. stock I would imagine they will leak a bit on 18psi, though I did 21psi at times with my disco without any real issues.
I hope the supertechs can hold up to that rpm. The 2.0 cams love to float even on some spring/retainer setups and pop shims out. On the supertechs you should be fine.
My friend is making 750awhp in his celica with twin walbro high pressure pumps. and 1600cc injectors @ 4 bar. He is running E85 as well. After talking to him on the phone, he said there are better ...
I am debating the Spec swap. If I keep breaking trannies that will be my next investment. The short gearing would be SOSOOOOOO sick. Traction be damned lol.
What pistons you running again? What brand? I wouldn't trust the wiseco with a VE head. JE pistons have huge valve reliefs for oversized valves and are 2mm deeper as well. Even the reg DE pistons f...
Yes the P11 (the REAL one) will last longer. But I broke one, and I am easy on the clutch when shifting. Mine blew at the top of 2nd gear, just before shifting to 3rd. I thought th...
the pistons should rock forward and aft to the engine layout. That is normal. The skirts on the pistons resist side-to-side movement from the crank pull/push. Even a fresh new Nissan motor will hav...
I killed 2nd in my trans. but 2nd gear is the weak link in the trans. The 2nd gear is cast into the input shaft. The cast gears don't take to abuse as well.
i weighed my wife's b14. Automatic. 1/2 tank. spare trans in the trunk. I was at the junkyard. Came in under 2600lbs. I was completely shocked. I expected 2800 or so with all the crap in the trunk....
Nissan uses the same knock sensor as subaru and many others. You can get oem quality ones pretty much anywhere they sell WELLs parts. Duralast etc are wells. They just scratch off the oem number lo...
If you can, don't follow my setup. It is far from perfect. But it works. Your crankcase relief should be plumbed into a better evacuation setup than what I have. Plumb back to the intake before the...
I tend to like ashton's comments about his experiences. I feel it adds to the thread as long as it is on topic, which his comments were. I talk about my setup compared to others all the time. We le...
You didn't have any noticeable slap, so it must have been pretty decent. I can move the pistons around in my bore too, but not a lot. I have 5.5 thousdanths clearance. My old motor had closer to 8 ...
its all about the placement of the wastegate. Mine crept a bit on the log manifold on high boost in 4th and 5th gears. I've got two now so no worries lol.
I saw a recent dyno where cam timing on the intake was increased by a lot and it moved the graph forward a lot. With hardly any top end loss. Wierd, DSM.
The twin scroll stuff boosts quicker, but not by a huge amount. The open housings flow better and make more power. But a lot of the larger turbos utilize the TS because they need all the spool they...
GT35R with a .82 housing? housing looks beefy. Its looking really good. I'm jealous of the setup. I am in the middle of getting my own a/w setup going. My bay is nowhere near the cleanliness of you...
