Isnt that what i was saying? why quote what i say and then say the same thing again....

I guess, I was just explaining a little.

yeah 10 psi on a KA with a aftermarket turbo kit usually would yeld close to 250whp. plenty fast for someone whos never experienced boost.

As opposed to a stock turbo?

Most aftermarket kits come with T04 compressors. A junkyard or stock-type(utilizing T25 or T3 from other "stock cars") could make anywhere from 200-220whp on T3 or T25 turbos. So what Tat said was correct.

Oh, ok.

How much would SAFC cost and also why do I get a 300zx MAFS? Like I said I'm a newb and I'm not looking to get flamed here so sorry for the lack of knowledge. I have read a lot, but it doesn't answer all of my questions and I don't want to ruin my car. Thx for all the help guyz!

the stock MAFS will max out at some kinda low HP number i forget exactly its probably like 225 +/- ??

nissanfanatic · #69 05-03-2005, 07:51 PM

The 300zx is capable of metering 500whp worth of air. The stock sensor maxxes out at a low voltage compared to the 300zx. Plus the diameter of the actual MAFS body isn't large enough to flow 60+lb/min of air.

TatII · #70 05-03-2005, 07:54 PM

running a Z maf is not benefitial a low boost. however it is required if you want to make more then 230whp. i maxed mine out at 230whp. also since i wasn't much power over the stock maf limit, it ran fine with the SAFC until it crapped out on me. so i upgraded to a Z MAF for later use cause i will soon not need to run the SAFC. as soon as JWT can figure out whats wrong my my tuned ECU, my car will run like a normal turbo car with 615cc injectors and a 500hp limit MAF without any piggy banks.

Would it be ok to turbo without having LSD?

What do you think would happen if you did?

I'm guessing traction problems, but I don't know too much about LSD so that's why I was asking.

You can have traction problems without a turbo as well, all depends how you drive & what you want to do with the car.

Exactly, depends on your suspension, tires, how hard you launch, all kinds of things. I'd say get one, but you don't have to.
