Ok, well, My car already has some basic mods on it. It already has the JWT Pop-Charger, the Kinetex Plenum, and the JIC Y-Pipe with JIC Single Exhaust. Now thanks to Helpful Eddie over at Performance Nissan, I just purchased a JWT Light Flywheel, with a Nismo clutch combo. I also purchased Some Crawford High flo-cats. And I also purchased the Nissan Motosports 3:7 final gear ratio. So with all that, and May 31st scheduled for a custom Dyno ECU tune at Technosquare, any idea how much HP my car will be making? I also have CF doors, so that should help with the weight reduction.

 

First off I think you should paint the CF doors body color.

Most of the mods you recently purchased will make the car faster, but won't add HP.

Is your car already tuned with your current mods? If it is, I wouldn't expect much HP gain from adding high flow cats and retuning.

Some will disagree with me, but I think you should do some comparison runs before and after you get everything installed.

 

Nope, I have never tuned it. I never tuned it cause I was never sure whether I was going to get the VRT package or not. So now I've decided not to go FI. I think that you're right about by changing the final drive train and the Flywheel won't add HP, but will make the car faster. I don't epect much from my hi-flo cats, but must do them before I tune the ECU, and no, not going with headers. Anyone hear with a similar bolt-on setup to give me an idea of what I should be expecting?

 

You're saying hi-flow cats won't add HP over stock?

 

Won't add too much. I know it will of course, but nothing crazy ya know.

 

on an interesting note though, back by popular demand, I'm reparing and painting my damaged CF VIS bumper with lip. WHoo hoo..go me!

 

When does the roll cage go in?

 

I vote for 266rwhp

 

+1 Why would you even think about CF doors with out this?

 

That's why I asked about it.

 

Thats true, the numbers on cats alone are like 6-8 at the flywheel or something.

I never understood the CF obsession. It is lighter, but saving a little weight isn't going to make a noticeable difference unless you're either seriously drag-racing or tracking the car enough to care about fractions of a second.

 

The story behind the CF doors is this. I first got picked up by Roy @ ALT Wheels, and he kicked me over some parts at ridiculously low prices. First the bumper, then the Hood, and that was all good and fun. The doors however, were never my intention to get. I had a minor accident that was totally my fault happen. the person I hit damaged my passenger door pretty bad, but was really nice enough to let me go without having to report the incident to our Insurance companies. I called up nissan, and to repair the door, I'd need a new one..which was of course..$$$$$. Then roy told me he could get me two CF doors, for dirt cheap..which I purchased to save me some money. I never though the CF doors wouldn't come with some sort of reinforcement. But of couse they didn't, so, Yes, the roll age goes in soon..and yes..I'm tracking the car.
