What doesnt look good about an equal length manifold? does it not have the appealling pretzel look that fullrace has? haha

[s14240sxsilvia]

nah its just the quality of the manifold like the welds on that manifold dont look to good compared to a full race roboticly tig welded manifold lol i love the look on my bros fr manifold

[240SXAddict]

are you talking about the wastgate tubes? the manifold itself doesnt show many welds...

[orange_silvia]

Dayum!, sex to my eyes!

heres a pic of my boys fullrace twinscroll manifold for rsx

dam -- if I was you guys -- I would have gone down to Orr Dodge and get a Mopar catalog -- I would then order the 426 prostreet Hemi with 1000 hp for 15 grand and get my 1000 hp and have save a cool 100 grand or so. That is out of control....

...that is the second stupidest post in this entire thread. it comes right after mrbojangles' comment about a 2jz being better. this is a nissan forum, if you want a hemi go buy yourself a mopar and stay off these forums. anyone with any level of intelligence will tell you that this is a very well built, though expensive, car and he did it the way HE wants it (along with some input from his sponsors obviously). nobody really cares that he could've bought a damn hemi for cheaper than hes built this car, it wouldnt be near as clean or as cool in my opinion and i think there are plenty of people to back me up on that.

also for the record i have no problem with hemi's or american muscle cars in general, just dont have any use for ignorant ass holes that clutter up these forums with posts like the one above

That is nice.. You are a touchy one aren't you. I have a Hemi Charger and a H22 Vtec Prelude. I want to get ahold of another 240 to do an sr swap. I meant no disrespect to you or the this fellow that has no telling how much time and money into their car. I understand tuning and was just stating a general statement. I guess you could do a lot of things with the money they put into this car and this is one of them. My hats off to you. Good Luck with it.....

Sorry about the delay on posting up dyno numbers, but I have crazy busy and the car has sat for the past few weeks.

I have not added C16 yet, but I did tune the car for E85 Pump Gas. Right now, E85 (106 Octane) is $2.18/gallon at the pump here in Texas, so it's a no-brainer.

As you can see at 25 PSI, the car made 629/490.

I'm decently happy, but will be upgrading probably to a GT42R, as I really want to break 700whp on pump gas.



Also, took the car to be weighed, and I was pleasantly suprised.

With full interior minus a passenger seat, and 3/4 tank of gas, the car came out to 2890 lbs.



Look for a larger turbo, and big power numbers over the next few weeks!

SWeetness !!!

Loven it !!

[Shaggy's 240]

nice man glad to finally see it come together its been a long time since i checked in on this thread im suscribing and then re-reading all of it, also what altitude did you dyno at. Also on top of that its nice to see s1 post complete dyno sheets with ambient temps at the dyno and everything. No one ever does that (because most of the time the dyno sheets are bs) Its always nice to see s1 do something right and post a complete dyno sheet like that

[DeclareYrWar]

where are you hitting full boost on your current turbo setup? a friend is looking for an upgrade on his 26 with a similarly built motor to yours so i was just curious. he's looking for around 600hp but doesnt want anything TOO laggy

[Shaggy's 240]

wow this is like a totally noob question but i just realized something, i dont know what the difference between a twin scroll turbo and a regular one is and also what the difference between a wastegate and a bov is.. I cant believe myself lol someone enlighten me so i dont have to be so noob anymore =[

Btw cant wait to see a dyno vid but please dont use photobucket for movies theyre terrible quality all the time just use youtube or something else but please god not photobucket i watched the startup movie and no sound =\ damn photobucket

4500 RPM, and my turbo is for sale, $1400 and it's your buddies.

[DriftX]

Very beautiful car. I'm a die hard s13 fan, but I think it's gorgeous. Must be a rocket.

[Kinyo]

Just wondering, you are going to keep a full interior for show right? My other question is: any roll cage going to be mounted up in there?

Just read through the whole thread, very nice. The pictures are great! If I owned a business, I would be writing to you so i can sponsor you for next year haha!

keep us posted more videos too lol!

[underground]

Actually, and I guess I will make this the formal announcement.

I ordered a GT4202R, and will be shooting for 1000whp in the next few weeks.

There will be an entirely new build-up thread going on the Stage III build, and I look forward to seeing the results (and driving it, lol)

Yes, there will be a roll-cage going in it.

[Shaggy's 240]

oh jesus here we go again lol are you tearing the motor down again or you just going to slap the turbo on and get a new tune?

[DriftX]

You think that c4 will handle the power?

[Spooling Nismo]

Does this mean you're not takeing it to Nopi? I was reeeeeeally looking forward to seeing it there. Oh and 1000 WHP!!!!! I say good god damn man... When yer done, feel like bringing it down to Orlando for a little show and tell?

more like just tell since it will be moving so fastyou wont be able to see it lol. The c4 should handle the power just fine i would have the tranny looked over and built up by a tranny shop though just in case.
<<< thats how your face will look after you look up and see what time he just ran in the quarter. Just curious did you get it out to the strip yet i wanna know what you ran on current setup before its too late

[underground]

Tearing it down? I just finished putting it together. A few runs on the dyno didn't do that much damage, lol!

I'm ordering a fully built Drag C4 tranny, built by infamous Performance Automatics, Inc.

Sorry guys, I wont be making it out to NOPI. Just not enough time, as I now live 13 hours away in Dallas, TX.

And Orlando is a LOOONNNNGGGG way, however you never know, I've done some crazy road trips.

And the car will be setup run 8's in the 1/4, however I am building it more for the street.

Those pesky Supra's and Vipers in Dallas/Houston need some more competition from the Nissan crowd, and I intend to deliver a beating, haha.

[underground]

I was hoping this was going to be a bolt-on affair, with just new 4" piping needing to be fabricated......right....

The new turbo hit the valve covers, so Jason @Matchless Performance came to the rescue to modify the exhaust manifold.

The block looks so lonely without it's friend.



Starting the modification work on the manifold, basically changing the angle on the flange so the turbo sits flush.





So now....the actions shots...

Man, Jason knows how to work by the clock. Took right at 3 hours from start to finish, very impressive.

Look at the clearance....Almost makes me want to go bigger, hum....

[Xracer]

At those power levels id bet there is a decent bit of power to be found in changing the intake manifold and converting to a large single TB steup.

[underground]

Definitely possible, and that may be next on the agenda.
