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

[TatII]

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....

usually people with KA-T's do more to their chassis it seems... and people who swap in SR's or RB's are running shitty parts

95% of rb swaps I see run 205 size tires and open diffs....

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.

id defintely take TAT's car over that old sil80 he fucked up, even with more parts on it...

different strokes for different folks tho I assume

thank you i take that as a very big compliment cheers

[SR20DETpower]

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]

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?





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.

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

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.

[TatII]

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

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

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...
