well, im just about back to where i was four months ago.

i'd like to say that i have no regrets about selling the old sil80. the whole reason i sold it (and i didn't tell anyone this until now) was because i had plans to purchase a local 240sx that was an 11sec sr and put down 396whp. when the sil80 was on ebay i went to check out the car, and it was a complete piece of junk. crap. the paint was peeling off the exterior, the engine bay looked like garbage, the turbo was sooo huge and the exhaust was so small (to create enough backpressure so that the car would actually move), and too top it off it overheated when i looked at it. drove it... it was piss slow with tons of lag (dyno queen). it was definitely not near a deal...

i was really unhappy with where the sil80 was going (read this: hack and slash, ghetto-rigged), so i just kept it up on ebay. it was gone in about a week... and for the next few weeks i looked around for a 240 to start over because i've learned my lesson: never buy a car that's already swapped. i still strongly believe this after all i've been through, no matter how good the car looks or sounds. i went through two modded pieces of junk and about a 6k loss to find that out, money i wish i would have right now.

to sum up the rest, i found the black 240, took it to get it swapped locally at a motorshop in downtown cleveland. all in all for the price, its a pretty damn good swap (despite the two month wait to get the car back). i had to tidy up some wiring and etc. and work on it a tad, but i wanted to do that anyways. i would have swapped it myself but i just don't have the knowledge to do that, i'd rather leave it up to a somewhat competent mechanic who has done these swaps before. after i fixed out all the bugs (another month), i took it to the track and ran a 14.5@100 (2.5 60') on stock boost open diff. my old one ran a 14.3@102 (2.3 60') on stock boost but at a much better track. found out today that i had went on a bad day because everyone was running real bad 60's and times where .1-.2 slower, so that made me feel a little better. i haven't driven in a while too and am a tad rusty when it comes to shifting and launching. so all that considering, it should be as fast if not a tad faster than my old one, even though its nearly 150 lbs heavier.

got a cheap manual boost controller today, same one i had on my old one, set it to .8 bar... and the car rips! finally most of the boost creep is gone and the car's response is there. little more lag than my last one, only about 300rpms, but i credit that to the tubular manifold. boost is falling off above 5500rpms, but i credit that to either the small wastegate actuator or the small turbo. i had the same prob with my last one so no biggie.

i might take it to the same cruddy track tomorrow considering weather is good and im not too lazy. last one pulled off an unbelievable 13.6@106 at 13psi with an ungodly 2.1 60' (195 all season firestone firehawks open diff), but that only happened once and never happened again. it did consistent 13.9's at dragway42 in the 104-105mph arena with 2.3 60's. thats all im hoping for on this one, and i think its a definite possibility because the car is really moving a lot faster now than it did last friday. i can feel a dramatic increase. im going to leave it at .8 bar and see what it does. i did take the sil80 to norwalk once when everything was in, about three days before the car was shipped out, and on one of the two runs i made it did a 13.7@104. norwalk's a much better track, and i think either this weekend or next ill take it out there and see what it does on a good track. i have much better tires on now, and flywheel, pullies, header and mandrel 3.7" exhaust, so it should be faster than my old one despite the weight difference.

i haven't posted anywhere online in a while, i just thought you guys might want to know what i've been up to.

im just about completely out of money, and have some bills to pay off all winter (not for the car, mainly other sh*t...), so i just about won't touch it until the end of winter when i have some more dough to throw at it. it aint incredibly fast or great looking but i think its getting there and by next spring it will be there.

Was this Sil-80 Blue with Shitty Tenzos?

because thats what ive got. a ghetto hack/slash Sil-80. Should be a pretty decent car once i get rid of those damn Tenzos and get everything cleaned up (I will now pray for a engine bay like yours.)

What Paint is on that valve cover? Im wanting to paint mine a Pure Red with a fade to white in the spark plug wells. (or i might decide to whore the gold look) Also, what kind of catch can?

and on your intake you should have had more sections welded in. Section welds are like rings on a tree. except instead of telling age they tell how JDM you are.

All in all ill give you a 8/10 (deductions for being at Truck Height and lacking in the gold mesh wheel catagory)

the sil80 is at http://www.cardomain.com/memberpage/548301

it could be blue now with tenzos, im not sure. the guy i sold it to said he's fixing it up and selling it. its most likely the same one if it has an s14 radiator that's zip tied down.


on mine, the valve cover was painted with the duplicolor bronze wheel paint. i love it, but i want to get another one thats sandblasted down and repainted because the paint aint perfect.


intake more sections welded in? why? no need.

about the truck height.. as soon as i have at least $500-600 im getting some used teins, otherwise ill just get some new he's. im out of money right now.

same thing goes with the rims.... im getting gold Nismo 4-lug wide rims. they are impossible to find... so by the time i find another set, i should have the money.

I dont have much beef with teins. its with the people who whore them out like they were the best coilovers ever. I personally will never buy them just because i think they're overpriced. If i ever do get coilovers (right now - unlikely) ill get SPL because they seem like they are higher quality, have inverted fronts (teins dont) and cost 1100 bucks.

welcome to the world of modified turbo cars you dumbass.......

seriously how can people really think that a 2.0L is going to be as good as a 5.7? to make the same amount of power it has to be working almost 3 times as hard..... thereby creating a shitty car that doesn't drive good on the street, has horrible maintenace problems, and just plainly SUCKS

I always say turbo lag sucks and you get bad turbo lag when you swap in larger turbos that make a lot of power... nobody ever believes me.. they always say well todays turbos are a lot better and have no lag... thats because you drove a small ass t25 turbo... when u step up to the big dawgs there are compromises.....its like an equation

powerful small motor=shitty running paper weight

dude im telling you, stop adding power, and focus on the chassis and drivetrain... I've told you this for 4 cars now..... you never listen.... you always sell each car quickly... and you always say it was a POS after you sold it.....

welcome to reality... you should have kept that 300zx with a 400 swap... you said it sucked ass... well thats cause it did, but it had more potential then any 240sx with a SR you will ever own. The first thing I woulda done to that 300 was put on some good tires and a LSD, then get headers, mandrel bend 2.5" duals with free flowing straight through mufflers, and get a new carb and edelbrock type intake manifold... that car would EASILY been in the 12's with just that... Add a cam and some heads your talkng 11's easily with good traction.... And with that setup to run 12's it woulda been faster then a sr with same amount of horsepower, cheaper, more reliable, and a better daily driver....

your just a fucking ricer stuck on some fast n furious dream man.. only reason I care is because you keep on fucking up nice cars thinking the next one is going to be gold... but they are all the same.

whoa some harsh words there SR20DETpower. you are partially right about turbos having large lag. some of the more hightech hybrids spools at a unreal time and makes plenty of power. however you will still notice some lag compared to a tiny T25. the only problem i have with my setup with the T4 is that i have tooo much damn lag. and this is coming from a damn 2.4 liter. however this turbo on the SR will be far worse. however my turbo is hardly be ultilized since its designed to run 20psi and make 400hp. and i'm only running 9psi. however you are right about mynismo you always seem to just throw your project cars away. however i disagree with maintainance problems. i have hardly any problems with my KA-T and i've had it for around 16 months, and i don't over heat or anything. i can sit in traffic in 90 degree heat with the a/c blasting for 3 hours and i won't over heat, and i'm running on a stock Radiator with a FMIC blockin my air flow. i just think something was wrong with his setup. mostly its probrably becuase hes missing a fan shroud. those do wonders. i still think his sil80 is goin to have just as much potential as his Z31. mainly beacsue most of his stuff doesnt' need to be custom made to fit. remember this is a chevy v8 swapped into a nissan body. the headers might have conflicts with stuff such as steering shaft, wheel wells etc.

thats what im saying TAT, theres nothing wrong with your setup

these engines could do 250rwhp pretty easily, and thats enough power for these cars.. you start getting up to 300 and 400 its a different ballgame.

you don't think 250hp is enough? well thats cause u got a shitty chassis, all these ricers just put all their money into making power and the rest of the car is shit... Id rather have 250hp with some good wide tires, coilovers, and a LSD then have 350hp on a stock car with 205 size tires and an open diff. and it will be faster in the 1/4 and stoplight races for sure.. traction and a good drivetrain is probably the best thing you can do to a car... its a shame so many people overlook it. its like night and day difference

what makes you think i never upgraded my chassis? i got 225's all around ( however i'm saving up for 265's as we speak ), and i got sway bars and adjustable shocks and springs. trust me almost every aspect of this car has been upgraded. remember it did take me over 2 years to build this car. i can cruise on the highway at 120mph and still take corners and dodge cars ( light traffic ) with very little sway where with the old car its would be scary as hell. the only thing i'm complaining about is that my chassis is a little weak. but i'm goin to fix that when i get my support braces.

remember i've changed the engine, the cooling, the drive train, the suspension, the wheels, the fuel, the wheels, and the brakes. almost everything that can be done has been done.

you also gotta remember i've had this power for over a year now. i'm growing bored of it. i want more. my goal is to make around 350whp. that is the limit for it as far as reliablity goes and its my daily driver. since it will be basically identical to what i have but running more boost. i don't see it driving any different except for on high boost.

edit: also if you want me to list all the mods i have that doesn't involve making power, i'll show you

1) KYB AGX adjustable shocks F/R
2) Eibach pro kit springs
3) Suspension technique sway bars F/R
4) 5 Zigen typhoon wheels
5) Ventus HRII 225/45/17 rims
6) 93 30mm Z32 front brakes
7) 93 Z32 brake master cylinder conversion ( A ABSOLUTE MUST TO MAKE THE Z CALIPERS WORK )
8) EBC green stuff brakes ( don't believe the hype, they leave maad brake dust )
9) Eribuni OEM carbon fiber hood
10) Koyo replacement radiator ( slightly larger then stock )
11) 91 sentra electric fan conversion
12) ACT heavy duty pressure plate
13) ACT street disc ( the combo of these 2 gives me a softer then stock clutch pedal, and it grabs very smooth becase its organic and has torsion springs and a marcel spring )
14) B & M short shifter
15) autometer pro comp boost gauge ( iuse to have procomp gauges but some SOB broke into my car and stole it along with my radio and SAFC )
16) custom heat shield

as you can see SR20DETpower that my car has alot of work put into it everywhere. i also try to make the most hp possible without touching boost. this usually means more reliable hp and less strain if i free up some drivetrain weight and weight of car.

and for those who are curious about what i have that makes power

1) ASP lightweigh crank pulley
2) T04B turbo
3) ported Revhard turbo manifold. ( i ported it myself to match the flang size for a T4 since the Revhard is designed to fit both a T3 and T4, the original port size is for a T3 so i grinded a whole inche off each side to match the port size for my T4 perfectly. highway boost comes on much sooner now )
4) Z32 fuel filter
5) SR20DET 370cc injectors
6) nsport 3 inch downpipe
7) custom cold air intake ( with ram air affect )
8) custom front mount intercooler ( 25X3X5.5 )
9) apexi S AFC II ( upgrade )
10) GP sport 3 inch exhuast ( ditched the N1 duals for more top end hp )
11) magnaflow 3 inch high flow cat
12) elimated first cat
130 NGK iridium plugs ( one step colder )

soooo as you can see i have more mods else where in the car then i do underneth my hood that actually makes power.

I wasn't talking about your car lol, im saying in general....

lolz i see. also the reason why i don't post my mod list is becasue as you can see, its freaking long, also it attracts theives. so i try not to post it up. but yes most SR's i've seen runs on rusted bodies, with bald tires, open diff and stock shocks, with no a/c and such. my car still has a/c a plus if its a daily driver in the summer, and if your with a girl friend who cant' stand the heat.

In my opinion you can do whatever you want to your car. just know why your doing it and know what its gonna be like after you do it.

I also think that Mynismos old sil-80 was about 5000 dollars away from being one of the coolest cars on AF. with just Wheels, Tires, Coils, and LSD. it would have been way faster and better looking.

on the other hand sometimes you just get bored with what you have. I dont have enough money to do it in real life. But on gran Turismo i do it all the time. :sunglasse

its a good modded all around car, and thats what you want really. Some nice quality parts covering ALL the weakpoints, just not one like the engine..... nothing to extreme so it is still a good daily driver, and its a fun car to drive...

man i've driven some fast as shit modified cars, sure they are fast, they don't run that good normally though.. and seriously where are u gonna use that kinda power on the street? gonna wind up dead, jail, or paying some nice fines one day. as long as u have something that is faster then most of the cars u see on road everday.. shit that would make me happy in terms of speed. you can't win them all anyway

TatII
09-25-2004, 03:40 PM
well i'm upgrading to keep up with my friends cause we're all somewhat similar in speed. however i mean my car is still on capable of high 13's. i mean stock 545i's or CLK500's are as fast as me. so whats the harm of adding anotehr 100whp? lolz i'll be as quick as a stock Z06 at best. so i mean if they can give it some stick, i should be able to do the same. however i know there is a fine boundary between street car and race car. and i don't want a race casue its just too tough to be a daily driver. thats why i think being Z06 speed is as fast as i should get it. then of course if i want more i'm gonna have to sell the car and get something with more displacement. ( sorry no v8's ) i was thinking something more in the lines of a TT 6 cylinder

sr20det makes a good point, especially regarding the open diff people dont change...

Handling should go hand in hand with performance as an upgrade. Ill take my mate for example, buying an r31 sedan with a rb30et buying fmic, bov,bigger turbo, manifold, b/controller, etc while keeping the stock diff on some shitty stock tire/wheel combo with cut springs. The thing corners like a Yugo with a v8.

fyi the swapped z was a 16 second car (with slicks and 3" exhaust), and no, there was nothing wrong with the engine.

who said anything about a big turbo. i hate big turbos. all they do is make lag (we can at least agree on one thing). i also agree with you about modifying cars - you can only go so far before shit starts to break down. if i get anything its going to be a disco potato that puts down between 300-350whp with full boost by 2800rpms. that is absolutely minimal lag.

i raced a modified camaro and monte carlo down the track last week. it was pitiful. they were doing 16's at around 80-something mph, and i was doing 14.5's on stock boost and 100-something mph with a 2.5 60'. domestics suck. lets not go there. dont go coming into a 240sx forum saying it sucks.


you guys dont know what shitty cars i had put up with. i guess you'll never know. i had the worst luck with cars.

there are nothing wrong with teins, dammit. you damn cheap bastards.

why, because it was flat black?


:cwm27:


other people may have thought it was cool, but i didn't. i don't do shit to my car to make other people happy. i do it to make myself happy. if i would have put more money into the sil80 i agree that it may have drawn the attention of possibly everyone and even some car mags and etc. ---- but its not me. the car was a headache. you dont know half the story about that car.



almost everyone here don't know how my cars were in real life. you can't go by what you see in a picture online. some of you actually have to go open your door, go outside and take a look around at some real cars. if you would know what i actually had you would think the same way i do.

sr20det makes a good point, especially regarding the open diff people dont change...
the only reason to do lsd is for drag or autox. i do drag, so eventually i'll get some rearend. i managed to sell off all my car's before reinforcing the rear end :icon16:

i think decent power comes before grip. its a lot more fun to drive with power than it is just all suspension.



im a very big suspension guy. power is DONE. stock turbo will be on for at least another year while i work on rearend, suspension, and rims/tires. im not made of money.



tat's car is cool, but you have to remember it takes a while for that t04 to spool. his 230-250whp isn't occuring until around 6.5k, my 250whp is occuring at 4k. but tat, i have a friend with a t3/t4 sentra ----- you gotta up the boost on that! if you think its fast now at 9psi, wait until its pusing a bar. it would eat my sr.

actually my 230-250whp comes at around 4.5K and i start making boost at around 3.5 and i make absolute full power by 5 and stays flat with no dips all the way to redline. so yes the initial lag is strong. but once it starts to spool by 3.5 i gain 125ish whp in only 1000 rpm increment. however i do wish for a more responsive turbo. but a t3/T4 hybrid causes more heat.

compared to yoru T25. your power delievery is more smooth so its a gradual climb from 2500 to 4000 to hit yoru peak. since i have lag, i get nothing till 3.5 but once boost hits, and you look at my power curve, its almost goes straight up like a wall. then stays flat so my power curve looks just like a plateau

other people may have thought it was cool, but i didn't. i don't do shit to my car to make other people happy. i do it to make myself happy. if i would have put more money into the sil80 i agree that it may have drawn the attention of possibly everyone and even some car mags and etc. ---- but its not me. the car was a headache. you dont know half the story about that car.

:bs:

if you did it to keep yourself happy you would have taped a flesh light to the exhaust a long time ago... :boink:

I dunno, I know my car is gonna be a pain in the ass to get where I want it. but I think the key is to brave the gut wrenching ghettoness to get to the merry days of burnouts and Camaro smackdowns... but its your car... and its not like the new one isnt badass.

Sell it and Ill cut you...

my thoughts exactly...



if i sell this one you have every right to flame me all you want lol... even if this chassis gets somehow mangled in a wreck, i'd do my best to keep all the same parts and throw them all in another chassis, thats why the body is the last to get worked on my list...

no reason to sell this one. its the cleanest s13 sr swap i've ever seen (that wasn't a show car). it drives great. engine is clean and good. it has power windows and a sunroof. the paint isn't all that great but for a 91 its one of the best i've seen... very little underbody rust and rusted bolts, but that can all be taken care of by a good welder. actually i can't think of any reason to get rid of it or why i wouldn't want it except the amount of money i put into it... but everyone knows once you start modding a car you can't think about that because you'll go nuts.

its safe to say i love this one :naughty:

dude if u run a 16 with slicks and 3" exhaust something is either really fucked up or you can't drive for SHIT... and that is a possibility.

lets just figure this out for a minute

a 400 cu in motor makes 345hp and 430lbs of torque in a 1969 firebird.......

if that much power was in a good running lets say Sr20 with slicks... it would easily be in the 12's... especially with slicks. I don't see how you could have that much power and be in the 16's on slicks with a 300zx.......

something was DEFINTELY not right that car should be about as fast as a ls1 corvette etc...

just ponder that for a minute

it should have WAY more horsepower and ungodly amounts of more torque then any SR you've had......
