6 psi?

naaa..cud do 10 nice!!

^^^^ u sure? on stock internals?

right now i in ah dilema. is one out ah 2 things.
1. get custom built headers and y-pipe and a 2.5 cat back, cold air intake, and suspension mods(cheaper project)
or
2. turbo to 6psi(or 10 if it safe on the internals) with the custom headers, up-pipe and other exhaust mods, cold air intake, suspension, 300zx/R32/R33 big brakes(front and back)

suspension would be a full coilover setup from tein, with EDFC(electronic damping force controller) and front and rear strut bars.

p.s. i dont know what i have to do to the tranny for it to handle the extra power if i going boosted.

most likely it would be the second project and it would materalise by...........year end next year. by then i should have enough $$$$$ to fully complete the project.

well last night i do one long read of ah fella on maxima.org

is not bout what he did to the car but in the final stages. he had sum electronics, SAFC or sumthing so and a couple others. that is the money right there Neutral

he running 5.9 psi on stock internals on a 3.0 infiniti, all in all after no tuning just the 5.9 psi he put down 260hp i think. he say no problems, but what i understand is that if u have a gearbox(A32 only) its easier to turbo cuz u have more room to work with. (damn u chiney Laughing

) now A33 men like me have sum problems with space Confused

considering that 3.0l's come with about 190hp, and with less than 6psi he's up by 70hp, thats quite good.
http://forums.maxima.org/showthread.php?t=387416&page=2

so if 10 safe on the 2.0l i wonder how much i'll be up by. Mr. Green

i was just reading another one, says that it isnt the amount of boost that would kill yur engine, its the torque, i still doh know how much will kill mine but i doh intend to reach close to that. i'll post any other links i find interesting.
btw this is in the turbo/supercharging forum on maxima.org

oh btw i think this is meh 800th tech post on tuner #Afro

check this install. this man crazy yes!!! Laughing

Click for full-size.

he says its 1/2 inch to 1 inch higher than the lowest point on his engine/tranny and he says he has never bottomed out his car. he better thank god he doh live in trinidad Laughing

full undercarrage

Click for full-size.

notice the h-brace(black) i wonder if its custom built Razz

i like the install.. but no in trinidad na!!

my sister's Mazda CX-8 pumps out 244 HP at stock.. runing 15PSI wid 18" wheels.. enough wheel spin there and full 3" exhaust system.. its 4 cylinder and 2.3 DIRECT PORT!

tip tronic tranny is beast wid it..

that sheit flies !!

did i mentions its made with the rx8 in mind?? Very Happy

take ah look.. here wat my sis drives!

oh.. and reachin 180km/h on this baby is like reaching 80km/h on ours..

cacasplat3 · Posted: Fri Oct 13, 2006 8:55 pm Post subject:

well speed wise i eh mind, but the design leaves lots to be desired. i never liked the rx8 and i eh like this either. no disrespect.
oh hear wah, doh bother bout the gauges, i eh doing that again. i just putting the cold air and the strut bar for the time.

i decided to go boost at the end of next year so i eh doing anything minor now. if i come across any good deals i'll take them. like brakes or engine management.

now this is what i learnt today Laughing

boosting a 3.0l VQ
keep timing close to stock, advance 4-5 degrees MAX.
use larger injectors and 255 fuel pump, and fuel pressure regulator
use emanage, nothing else. safc is usless according to many on maxima.org
JWT remapped ecu is usless as well cuz they advance timing too much and u run too rich as well(one guy ran an air/fuel ratio of less than 10 wih a JWT flashed ecu)
running too rich would kill u cuz u only wetting yuh cylinder walls, carbon build up, valves may not seat properly eventually causing repairs.
run 12psi max. with good work this would be good to have a reliable daily driven car.

it looks like the biggest challanges are space and electronics. there are a few good mechs here who would make this project a reaility. i hope to be doing this by year end next year. should cost over $25,000 if done right. which is good for about 260hp at 10 psi. 10psi on a 3.0l brings around 310hp Shocked

with proper tuning and a good setup.

remember it better to measure 10 times and cut once that to measure once and cut 10 times Wink

u eh like dat nor de rx8

u need help child...

^^^^ honestly u doh find it ugly? Neutral

direct port u say!!!!! mazda moving up boi Laughing

alluh know if u could change a non lsd tranny to a lsd tranny? and no i not changing the tranny unless is ah gearbox i getting Twisted Evil

ah wish i could get that Crying or Very sad

Chiney · Posted: Sun Oct 15, 2006 12:54 am Post subject:

here nah.. does do some serious checkin fuh de gearbox for yuh tranny.. they have it around man.. yuh must be able to get ah gearbox for it hoss..

cacasplat3 · Posted: Sun Oct 15, 2006 10:56 am Post subject:

if ah A32 one would work, that is no problem, i could get that from japan easy, but i eh sure if it would. i'll do sum checking, and talk to a mech or two.

oh ho, last night i was looking at the thread where u built the cold air, what was the 2nd bend u use? i know the 1st was 60* but i cyah really figure it out.
oh and what is your trottle body diameter? yesterday i check mine and is sumwhere between 2 1/2 and 2 3/4. i thought it would ah be 3" Confused

looks like i go need ah redusing silicone hose for that part.

cacasplat3 · Posted: Sun Oct 15, 2006 2:12 pm Post subject:

to add to that, the trottle body stink on the inside, one set ah black muck from blow by and any other stuff that was there before, i could just imagine what inside the intake runners looking like. no easy way to clean the runners but before i do the CAI i HAVE to clean the trottle body and clean that filter too. btw how do u clean the MAF?

cacasplat3 · Posted: Mon Oct 16, 2006 7:14 pm Post subject:

did a little more reading on boosted 3.0l, one particular guy with 10psi and on N2O, did 468hp(cant remember the exact figure) and 500ft-lbf on stock internals Shocked

i want one. Twisted Evil

no one have VQ20's so i will never know how far i could carry the engine, guess i have to do trial and error, wish i could get aftermarket internals to run high boost safley.

Chiney · Posted: Tue Oct 17, 2006 12:41 am Post subject:

^^ dats ah wish in tru..

the trottle is 2.75"

u need ah reducer.. supposed to come with ah CAI kit..

and well..i eh kno bout the 2nd bend nah..

hoss u realize i eh need to post all 3 times eh.. jus 1 big post..

yuh tech post count eh life and death Laughing
