I have Manley +1mm valves, JWT S7 cams and springs and was not asking for any help getting more power.

I am losing power to my exhaust because I want a car I can live with. I gave away my AP Ti exhaust to make it quieter.

I have everything I need/want.

If you look at his posts you will see a theme of TC.

Also, SG has a one off intake and they spent 10,000 hours getting huge cams into the heads.

With the cutout open I am sure I can get 10-20 HP/LB back when I want it.

The way it is now is awesome and I am very happy with my livable 300 hp daily driver.

 

cant wait to see the comparison of open vs closed cutout on a NA.

 

Me either. I am so pissed it freaking did not open Friday.

 

+2. Curious to see gains, too.

 

Are you gonna bring it back after the break in?

 

It was done on the dyno. I am going to bring it back in a few weeks to let it run a bit and after I go 3" from the XYZ resonator to the Cutout.

 

Nice, keep us updated. Car was done just in time for a xmas what a coincidence.

 

It was a Christmas miracle!

lol

 

e30,

You don't know how happy I was to see this thread after being away for a little while....so glad you didn't give up on it & super-glad you are enjoying your ride exactly the way you wanted it! That certainly is most important, for sure.

Considering all of the obstacles you went through to get the motor in your car just right, I would certainly agree with you that this is nothing short of a Christmas miracle! Enjoy sir!

 

Thanks.

 

Ok.

I tried to be helpful, but whatever, some people have more money than sense. Enjoy your car.

 

I also have no oil squirters with my BC stroker but mine does not shoot up that high after 3k. It usually hovers around 100 with my revup pump.

BTW, do you have a vid of your car with and without exhaust cutout? Old or new engine.

 

I disagree. You were not trying to be helpful.

As I said. I built the motor for my needs and to get as much power as I could while limiting NVH.

I succeeded and am enjoying my car.

Here is the cutout with the old motor.

Haha. You blew the camera over? You can barely hear idle with the cutout close.

 

It's louder now but not that bad. I'll take another video shortly.

 

When’s the supercharger going on? lol…

 

Never.

 

Nice glad to see it's complete, up, running, and you enjoy it.

 

hey, can you post pics and explain how you connected the pathfinder cooling mod hard pipe to the other hard pipe that comes on our cars? which one did you cut and how did you connect them? thanks. im getting close too but need to figure that out

 

I cut the brass pipe that goes over the header about 1". Just cut what will be filled in by the hose that came with the kit.






Here is how the motor sits now.
