Why not, since everyone else is whoring their rides out, might as well eh?
Current mods breakdown..
Engine:
Heebspeed intake manifold/Q45 throttle body
Ported and flow matched 1000262 16v head
Folksracing FS324 cams, stock gears
RSI pistons and rods, with a target CR of ~ 9:1 (shoulda gone higher, oh well...)
1995 block, Aq171 crank, block pinned per Jonathan@RSI's recommendation
MS II v3.0, Error/Glensgarage daughter card v2.1, 4 bar rs-auto MAP, etc.
T3/T-67, .83 A/r housing
Go-Autoworks intercooler piping, custom intercooler designed for a skyline
TiAL BOV y0...(I honestly haven't heard it yet, the car is too damn loud)
Nitrous Express dry kit (approx 75hp shot) controlled by MS
Profec-b SpecII
Custom fuel system.. fuel cell in the trunk, two bosch 044 pumps, -8 feed and return, all AN.
1000cc injectors
Dale's under drive pulley, but the jury is still out (its a wonderful piece, but the way I have my accessories mounted might require a re-think due to size. the weight difference however from stock to dale's is night and day. until I run into belt slip issues, it stays)
Fidel's billet crank gear, because the oem stuff sucks.
sdturbo's timing belt tensioner kit and solid accessory bushings
19psi, 480rwhp.
26psi, 576rwhp.
Nitrous + 30psi--boiling bfg geforceTA's in 3rd and totaled
Exhaust:
3 inch turbo back, tial waste gate with an open dump, single mangaflow muffler.
Drivetrain:
Modified AW71. Th350 in the bullpen
3.73 millerlocked rearend
Spherical bearing torque rods and a reinforced rear subframe. we shall see....
Suspension:
Bilstein HD's on all four corners
poly radius rod bushings
ipd swaybars (25/25)
tme lowering springs
Cosmetics: not much..
fresh paint
side marker lights. Had. Need new ones.
a few discrete, yet in-your-face stickers.
Not sure what kind of 240sx wheels they are, but they were cheap. Yes, you need adapters.
Other noteable mention: It was big pimpin in the new york times on march 4th, 2005
pics (oldest to newest):
So that brings things up to july 2005. Obviously there has been more going on since then....
hung a turbo off a modified SSA manifold
this had ok results, but fell apart shortly afterwards
7psi:
14psi running out of injector:
new manifold:
installed:
then it was time to ditch the npr:
the net effect:
then there was some downtime after SE 6, I got rear-ended which jarred the radiator out of its moorings, the car probably overheated, and a few days later it was apparent that I'd roached a headgasket. It sat up from the fall of 06 to around may-june of 07, when a whole new slew of ideas was put into effect-
ported head ~1 inch into runners, for a planned intake upgrade
engine went in
pump gas powa
Ran 12's at the SE meet with a busted t5, put a new transmission in and ran 11.8@120 about two months later, but then I killed the new transmission and clutch on consecutive runs
So I went in and spent most of 08 mucking around with automatics, building intake manifolds, tracing down issues from previous work, and basically didn't get **** done. Car dynoed 500 rwhp lookin' like this:
lower power is off the spray
in hind sight, we probably jacked something up on the dyno when MSLVV mis-burned the maps and ****ed up the nitrous timing, but the car didn't appear to suffer anything immediately, so we pressed on. A second far more violent mistake involving the nitrous pressure proved to be the final episode of what was largely a disappointing year for team heebspeed.
I did get some bling:
Although really, it was a set of almost new tires and wheels for $200. They could have been pink and I would have bought them for the rubber alone.
So with a blown motor comes progress, usually-
I took the down time to clean up as much under the car as I could (since I have to work on it, and I'd much rather not constantly be covered in tar-y black ****)
sanded down the engine bay
de-coated the wheel arches (as well as most of the under carriage)
picked up some baller RSI hardware:
Drilled a few holes in my block
bed-liner'd the wheel wells
bought a flow sensor setup and started building my flowbench
put **** together:
bedlinered the engine bay (it got touch-ups after this)
And started putting stuff where it goes.
A bit of undesireable (but doesn't slip!) belt routing.. never mind the oil feed..
on its way:
A quick way to blow $1000:
(no worries, the jack-leg setup was for mock-up only. I got a BALLER T1 dual 044 bracket setup. make that a quick way to blow $1100....)
oops wait where'd the belt go?
(I was probably shimming the cams at this stage in the game)
And its out and running! I'll let you figure out which one is faster
New intercooler piping, 'in race trim' as they say.
Really fast AFR tuning on the dyno, the day before SE 8.0
horrendous torque curve, this is the result of pulling a lot of timing out of the whole map, and then not going back and touching the timing map again (except to pull out more for the nitous-which is the 511 run).
You might ask- why all the work for an 11 hp gain? Well, the previous numbers were made at 25psi and a warm bottle (500), and then the 465 number was made at 27psi no spray.
This time, I got the boost controller set to a reasonable 19psi and didn't touch it again (in fact, I still haven't). So the numbers will eventually be made, for those who care to know them, but the only digits I'm really concerned with were these:
Two 11.0's with 1.9-2.0 60's, an 11.4 (Sam) with a 1.8 60 (he forgot to click it into 2nd), and then sam ran the 10.8, but had to let off so the transmission would shift into 3rd.
Thats 4 hits and done, for the aw71 (heeyy that rhymes!)
Remember kids, its not how much boost you run, its what you do with the boost you run that counts.
