ah finally get time to go by the fella to check up for the cold air, its going to be ah true cold air, inside the fender, when we're finished the filter would be a little higher than the alternator so no worries with flood Razz
i have to get ah 45* and ah 90* bend. i ah lil skeptical about the 90* but thats what is needed so i have to use it. i have to source the piping cuz the guy pays too much for his and i can get it cheaper on tuner Laughing
only thing is i have to wait to get it done, cuz next week he has a couple cars to tune so he dosent have time Mad

anyways i getting the piping on wednesday, i not using polished cuz i not ah fan of bling and no sting Laughing
plus the un-polished a lot cheaper.

most likely i will install the original factory air box with original filter and go on the dyno on saturday. to get a base reading for all my future mods. i want to do a dyno run every time i do something majour. cold air is coming soon and the headders and cat back should be done by year end. i shouldnt be in the country for about the first 3 months of next year so i trying to get as much done now as possible.
i also going to change oil and thing the weekend. this is ah hectic weekend with things to do on that car, i just hope i could get eveything done. Neutral

rodney is cacasplat3@hotmail.com
looking foward to seeing it, cuz i need a new right side mirror anyhow cuz the gearing inside it is ca-puts since a woman hit it sum time ago. Confused

hmmmmmm well pressure jed!!
i went by W2J today, and he dosent have the piping, cuz it stuck on the port. he has un-polished piping coming in so i think i'll wait until he get it, cuz is like $85 ah piece ah pipe by him and like 150-200 ah piece by other ppl.
i using t-bolt clamps but i'll get those when i get the piping. as for the hoses, all i getting is high pressure hoses which is like over-kill for my application, i'll check trinidad hose on friday and see what hoses they have, and depinding on the outcome of that i'll know what to buy.

as for the dyno. well hmmmmmm i eh know wah going on cuz i real get tied up but sure sure it will happen.



rodney thanks for the vids, but that price way to high for me cuz right now i looking fuh performance. Twisted Evil

Chiney I eh no yet. Me an de mech was lookin at some pics because is from a LHD i gettin it from, so that means there master cylinder on de left side. But he say it would fit.

Dread i was reading on maxima.org that u expect a 30% power loss with a auto as compared to 15% with manual. So they have been getting 168WHP on auto's even though the motor rated at 255HP.

But they also say u can get 20+Hp with exhaust and CAI bolt on's. As a matter of fact there are guys on the forum gettting more than the stock HP rating of 255 with bolt on's. It seems that the stock profile limits the engine so if u guys get some quality exhaust headers with a 2-2.25 exhaust diameter and CAI u on like corn!! I shooting for a 3" diameter exhaust Twisted Evil

well i got the K&N cleaning kit today, oil filter,. mobil1 10W30 oil, new wipers, front upper strut bar, a trottle body cleaner and a lighter pocket Laughing
the oil ah lil bit on the expensive side @ $65 ah quart, which i think i could get at other places a little cheaper, next rounds i'll look around more Mr. Green
well i installed the strut bar, but didnt get to test the car as i wanted, cuz the road was a bit busy and the road was ah lil wet, but from the little driving i did it does quite a lot, especially on corners when the brakes are applied. IMO its a must get #Fade in
i'll change oil tomorrw and clean the filter, along with the trottle body.

went to trinidad hose to see if i got the connector hoses and t-bolts for the intake
but they dont have and i checked a popular car parts place in south and the connector hoses are $40 an inch(3 inches min. for one connector is needed) and t-bolts were $50 a piece Neutral


pics of the strut bar installed to be posted tomorrow Razz

Mobil 1 leaves something to be desired, for the price range. If it were cheaper, well then yeah, sure...but frankly, it's nowhere NEAR the highest quality synth oil out there, so that's waaaayyy overpriced IMO....you're better off using Castrol Syntec for your application...cheaper, and it uses the same base oil like the M1, so they're pretty much neck and neck in quality....but from reviews (check http://www.bobistheoilguy.com/) the Syntec has better anti-sludge properties.

Also, 10W30 oil is too thin for our climate IMO.

^^^^^ thanks will consider it next oil change. the mobil1 is overpriced but its manufacture recommended. that's the only reason i switched from the castrol gtx to the mobil1 10W30


well i cleaned my filter today and it still wet, so i go have to apply the oil tomorrow and then re-install, i cleaned the trottle body, and shitt that thing was stink, it was black and varnished on grime and sludge, i think all of it is blow by that accumulated there. Neutral

Careful not to over-oil that K&N......just a thin line of oil on each "ridge". If you over oil, you WILL screw up your MAF sensor.

You shouldn't have much blow by in a VQ20DE. Fairly new engine. If you had blow by, you'd notice it in your car's performance, and in your oil levels (if drastic).

If you DO have blow by, check your PCV system for buildup.

yea i have to be careful with that, i now watching the filter and it looks like i missed sum spots Mad cuz it still have sum pink spots, but not much. next time i'll be a little more observant Mr. Green


i dont think the blow by is drastic, and this is the first time i'm cleaning the trottle body, the car is at 88,600km and it came at 23,000km, so i think all that's just there over time. i would have liked to remove the trottle body to clean it but that is ah 2 days work right there with its location and the amount of thinks connected. something strange though, i was expecting white smoke for a few seconds after the car started but i saw nothing, i just assumed that it got trapped in the cat or sumthing(even though it not supposed to Confused )

checking the PCV system in that car is like killing osama Laughing it almost impossibe for the normal man.

since its a V6 it would have 2 vents right? or would it still have one? the amount of hoses and vents and vacuum lines it have i not sure what to think Neutral



i got ah bad tank of gas the other day, that was the worst the car has ever performed, i got just about 220km from $100 of gas and it was moving dead, not power at all. usually i could get about 380km from the same $100

Osama Laughing Hmmm..very good question though. I think it should still have one main line coming back to your intake. Some systems use a series of check valves along the way...these should be fairly easy to find. Hopefully, if you haven't got too much blow-by, they haven't gotten any buildup in them.

If blow-by is an issue, you can run an Oil Catch Can. I use one....works great, but IMO it's better suited for turbo cars, as blow-by vapours can condense in your intercooler - you have less chance of this happening in an N/A car, as the majoirty (not all though) any oil vapours will most likely remain vapourised. Another, cheaper option, would be to vent your PCV system to the atmosphere, rather than back into your intake. It's only a small flow of air....and it shouldn't affect the system too much (if at all).

So in short, consider one of the following:

1) Use an Oil Catch can (OCC) which vents back to the intake
2) Vent your PCV to the atmosphere, through the use of an OCC if you so desire.

Check your fuel filter. Most people advise that you use a fuel system cleaner....but this isn't always the best advice. The gas that is made locally already has anti-gum agents / detergents in it....there's no real need for Fuel system cleaner, although a small dosage once in a while can't hurt.

Keep in mind though that the Fuel system cleaner is quite corrosive to rubber tubing and hoses.
