Sup fellas,

I just got my IC installed and it looks great! I dont have any pics of it Pre-install but I'll take some and post them on my page when I overhaul it in a couple of weeks! All I can say is...the car feels "SICK" now! You can feel the pull alot more in the low-end! Unfortunately, as some of you might recall, I'm still having the put-put trouble! I'm not getting enough fuel apparently. I've had a couple of shops take a look at it noting the different bits of advice you guys gave me in here as to what the problem might be and I think its now safe to assume that its a fuel problem. So...I'm getting a fuel-pressure regulator and an HKS BOV along w/some fine tuning to get this thing straight! NYC its just about offcial!!! I cant wait to get it done!

ICUP

Seriously though, what is IC?

 

Intercooler.

Congrats! Do research on the Hobbs Switch mod for SC'ed cars.

 

IC = Intercooler! I did some research on the Hobbs Switch and found a couple of links where guys mention it but I didnt find any links that tell ho to make any adjustments on it!

 

how much boost r u running? thats awesome!! what kind did u buy? pics please!

will

 

Keep searching... Try to find Loren00Miata's (I'm not sure if that's his exact screename, but it's close to that) post.

 

I'll be in the 3.125 mile high club when its all said and done in a couple of months! Have it sitting here waiting for a install! I'm gonna do everything all at once...ie: BOV, Fuel Pressure Regulator, Fuel Pump, and the smaller pulley! Got the stuff just waiting for the $$$$ cheddar! I'm accepting donations also by the way! Still nothin on the Hobbs switch Kev...still looking!

Like I told you before, be VERY careful running the 3.125 pulley.

Keep searching for the Hobbs Switch tweak... it's here.

 

Kewl mine should be on in only a few weeks.

 

How many trannys have you blown Kev...are you holding out on us!! You given that warning waay too many times...now you're really scaring me!
You didnt tell me about the word "tweak" so I'll search under hobbs switch tweak now...Thanx!

Deac

 

I think you should know that when we pulled my tranny apart, the third gear cluthes where all but gone. Thats with stock boost. Now thats it's rebuilt so no prob. But had I run alot of boost and Ic with those clucths in that shape it would have been gone.

 

Does that mean you had to replace your clutch or your tranny?
Kev...I found a bunch of links w/guys talking about the hobbs switch but no one tell you how to do it so...I have to post the question man...this is your last chance to stop me!

No blown trannys.

Jayson is a good testament of what would happen if you're not careful (I'm sure he was, but it still happens).

I found the thread in my first attempt... I'll provide you with the partial link:

Fist let me so NO I did not blow the tranny. And Had I not wanted to improve the tranny 70 times over before doing more performance, I would not have even known what had happened. It just sorta happend that when I pulled it apart to replace everything (and add others, details coming friday) We found out that the clutchs were on it's way.

 

You should join the 2PSI club, no one is in it but me The one and only.

 

You didn't fix that yet?????????

 

Well the power is there but the boost gauge is still off. I am getting new gauges and will hopefully find the issue behind my boost issue.

 

Do you have it wired right???/ Bad sensor? Leak somwhere? Man thats weird.

 

Yeah I don't think its a boost leak, b/c I would not be pushing the dyno #'s I have. Maybe the wiring could have be wrong it was installed by a shop?

 

maybe, but you might also want to consider that the senser in the gauge could just be bad.

 

Or maybe he drives like a granny...

 

You're saying you can rebuild the tranny without having to replace the whole thing? Did you just buy the tranny parts from Nissan or what? How did you do this? Or did you just get a better clutch?
Huh? What?

 

O so thats the problem

 

I know you just din't say nissan I will anoce all details when I pick the car up friday. But I will tell you this it's alot more than what you just said and it will change peoples look on auto trannys( at least for those that know somthing). Just wait till friday it's worth waiting for. I'll anoce it in the 5th gen forum.

 

Well...I know a few things about cars...(just what I learn from here actually) But sometimes I need extra help! I have a 5spd too so...I dont know if this mod would work for me. I'm getting a better clutch though! Yippeee
