I'll put the gopro on the rear of the car and take some video.......I will also use a different and better video camera at the next dyno session

So...... I couldn't help myself. I put in the 10.1 psi large yellow springs. I know I am playing with fire, but I am prepared for the worst when it happens.

I am gone again for a few days, but am scheduled to be on the dyno sunday afternoon, hoping to break the 400whp mark this go around......

 

Best of luck! I know there's a guy here with single turbo kit (boosted performance) making 450 whp on a DE with stock internals. I think you should be ok at 400 whp considering that HR motors have a little stronger internals. He also drag races his car every other weekend for like the past 2 years and still takes it like a champ.

 

Sorry if this is a thread jack but how many psi is that 450hp car running and if u could pm me a link. Back on topic, just looked through this entire thing and I would have gone the same route had I bought a nismo. Was to young and broke to buy one when I was in the market. Anyways good luck on the dyno

 

Awesome. Here's hoping, I mean, really, you never know, you could go 20K miles or 20 miles and either have no issues or tons.

It is amazing what a difference the extra 5psi has made. The BOV's have 11ish psi springs and are now making some noise, the turbos sound more like turbines and the power is just awesome. Relative to stock, @ 5.8 psi it was quick.....now it is fast. I could not believe how hard 5th pulled all the way through. The RE-11's are hooking up well, squirly through 2nd into 3rd when not 100% warm, but hold solid in 2nd then barely squeak into 3rd when warm. Typically I have been doing 70km/h rolling in 2nd, then bring psi to zero, then full wot at around 4500rpm and it just kicks you in the @ss

Really wish I was able to make the track with ya this weekend, but if I can get out of whitecourt early enough on saturday, I may stop by Strato to check it out on my way home......I was wondering what you were running for boost with the SC currently? You have not had it dyno'd yet hey?

 

Thanks!

There have been ups and downs, but I am really happy with the way it has turned out so far. I drive this everyday I can (usually out of town working), and being able to stay out of boost for running around town and the office commute is excellent. And when you want some excitement, spool & go. It is pretty much exactly how I thought it would be and no regrets.

I plan to track it now and then, but if I wanted to dedicate this as a track car that 20K would've gone into Brakes, bushings, weight reduction, NA mods and track time. It'll be interesting to see how it holds up over time......

 

It's my car

http://i106.photobucket.com/albums/m...s/EPSON009.jpg This was on a dyno pack at 9psi

http://i106.photobucket.com/albums/m...ps5f431323.jpg This was a dyno jet at 10psi

It's been boosted for 2 full summers now. close to 30,xxxkm It's driven how its intended to. It has at least 100 1/4mile runs on it and at least dbl that highway pulls from 100-220km. Not 1 single issue

 

Awesome! What kinda times thrown down...assuming castrol strip?

 

Wow that's beautiful to see haha. I'll b there after my deployment. And i second the drag times?

 

Made it back to the Dyno yesterday afternoon. Put down 416hp & 384tq to the wheels @ 9.2 psi. Still quite fat on my AFR but looking better....

Here is a 5 minute drive around my block. Gears 1,2,3 and a bit of 4th, One pull with boost, but it'll give you an idea what it sounds like normal driving

 

Some moar pics....























My buddies CTS-V, Did 324hp & 382tq


My buddies SRT-4, Did 473hp 505tq > this thing is a monster, fully built, stroked 2.5L GT3076R running 33psi on C16

 

looks great! On another note my block **** the bed last fri at the track. Ran a 12.504@116 and she let go when i started braking at like 120.... oh well that block survived an absolute thrashing for 2 years. Build time

 

Boost @ 2:20 for the lazy

 

Hey no worries man. It was a awesome track day. I was tearing it up with a couple v-spec gtr's. So much fun. Im running 7 psi currently and ya havent got a custom tune yet. I will forsure in spring 2013. Congrats on the numbers! Looks like a beast! Castrol is calling

I feel like I cursed you lol

 

Numbers look great! Enjoy your Boost and I'll maybe see you on the streets sometime after my build

 

OP, I'm trying to understand the wastegate springs you purchased.

I am waiting to get the Stage 3 and would like to run a good 16 psi (yes, I will be purchasing forged internals).

Do the wastegates not come with the proper springs to run this much PSI?

 

Hopefully we can meet up at castrol next year!!! GL building!!!

 

I do believe you can probably order them with whatever springs you want. The ones that I got came with 5.8psi springs. If you look through the Tial website, you can see they offer many different spring options.

In your case, you could order a 10.1psi & 5.8psi and install them together to achieve the 16psi (15.9psi) you are after. They make certain sizes of "small" and "large" springs, differences being psi rating and Outside diameter. Notice the red springs are not as big as the yellow ones in the pics I put up, thus, you can put them both in together to get higher boost levels.

However, I would recommend you get either 8.7psi or 10.1psi springs and run a boost controller for higher psi. Basically, the minimum amount of boost you can run depends on your WG springs. Most of the boost controllers I have been looking at are good to 30psi......

I would also be looking at a bigger fuel system than the GTM basic one ( I believe it is only rated for 14psi...I could be wrong on that) as well a Full fuel return system for that kind of boost/power level. From what I've seen guys are making upwards of 600-700whp at those kind of boost levels and that is entering a whole different ball game.....

I would give any one of reputable tuners/builders a call to go over your initial plans and see what they say as well......GL building!

 

Glad to hear! Cool, that is what I thought......Yes, it is definitely on it's way to being a beast. Cannot wait to get this thing thing onto a track or a strip and see what it'll do......

 

I have been having quite a time with the fighter seats. The bases I got were both the right model #'s, but the passenger side didn't fit properly and I had to cut the legs and re-weld them into the proper locations. Could not get the seats to fit properly with the doors closed either, so I also drilled new holes in the base to place the seat so the "ears" don't rub anymore. I have them as far towards the center as the seat will allow and it only just rubs slightly on the doors now. I may shave the outside "ears" down a bit, 1/4" is all I would need to clear.....

The seats are quite comfy and hold me very tight. I am 6'1" @ 185ish lbs....

I have been searching and searching about this darn weight sensor for the passenger. I can't find much on the electrical specs, but being 3 wires I assume the weight sensor module is basically a three-wire transmitter. Guessing maybe a 1-5v signal with 0v being no one there, 1-3v would be the baby or under weight person and 3-5v being a person of weight enough to engage the airbag. Regardless, I have not been able to figure it out. I guess I could strip the wires and attach a few flying leads to see what voltage and/or amperage is being sent through during the three different scenarios.

I was originally thinking of tricking it to believe there is always a large person there so airbag is activated at all times, but this is not 100% acceptable for me; I would hate to say to any one of my buddies that I can't take their kid for a ride due the airbag potentially deploying....

So...I figured Nissan must sell these weight sensors. haha. No. Couldn't find the sensor on it's own anywhere, dealerships, all the online OEM part sellers etc......Options the way I see it now:

a) by a used seat from an 06-08 and rip out sensor of said seat and install underneath cusion in Sparco seat.

b) Pull sensor from my stock seat and install underneath cusion in Sparco seat.

I have been trying to leave every stock part I remove from the car alone, and do not particularly want to disassemble the passenger bottom, however, Option b is most likely what I will do. There is an awesome DIY on the bladder and sensor removal so hopefully I can tackle that this weekend. Having just the one seat installed is urking me a little......anyways, I'll post some pics of the fail or the win with these plans
