This work was done Custom by Aaron92SE, so check with him on the polishing and porting jobs... The Spacers you see pictured are part of his Manifold/TB Spacer kit which I must say are crafted very well and match up great with the manifold. Not only do they match up well but the whole system of parts is packaged with separate bags for different areas of the install. A++++ product Aaron, Highly recommended. Dyno graphs on Nismax03's car coming shortly!

 

 

Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice!!!!!!

Now tell Jose the next step is to get rid of the VI junk

 

i have the exact same thing done on my car.. and you DEF feel a diffrence throttle response it WAY better.. in 1 of my thread in the weekend battle section there are pics.

Throttle response is increased and top end SCREAMS

 

in for the dyno

 

There are going to be before/after dynos right, not just after?

 

There were before dynos taken already about a month or so ago, and the afters will be done at the same place.

 

What a great craftmanship work, I'm really impress with the quality of the work. I sent an e-mail to Aaron this morning asking him if he would port & polish the lower IM on my VQ30DEK ? After I came back from lunch he already had answered my e-mail, very professional attitude and look like a very nice guy. Basically I'm going to send Aaron a bunch of pics for the IM and the lower IM, even though the IM is made of composite material it's probably possible to remove some material to better flow and in order to match the lower IM once the lower IM is port & polish. Aaron will figure the work he need to put on and make me a quote, I already know he charge very reasonable price. Once he has the pics and figure the feasability ( is that a word ? ) I will send them both parts so he can confirm the work he need to do.


I want to thank gtr_driver for posting, otherwise I wouldn't have known the great work that Aaron can do.

What a great community we have here.

Thanks again.

AA

 

There is no doubt that Aaron knows what he is doing. The workmanship of the spacers is outstanding as well as the complete kit and instructions. Believe me, you will not be dissapointed with the spacer kit. Once installed I will dyno and give results.

 

Luke/ Jose, let me know about this I want to be there . (also for the "other" project that you guys have to come to a shop in the SW for ) bahahaha :-X

 

Only reason we are venturing to SW is because you already had yours done and it would be best for the same guy with previous experience to do it again.

 

Luke, sounds like we have a mini meet in the SW.

 

wow, Nice work...I will have to look into this.

 

Hey you made it over.

 

how much does the P&P and spacer cost?

if you dont want to give up the info in the thread plz PM me.. it looks like great work and would be a great addition to the N/A beast I'm trying to build

 

I guess you haven't seen the spacer thread Anyhow, NissanWorks

Just like everyone else.

 

We are working on pairing this up with a Big Bore MAF, gains should be outrageous

 

There's gonna be a dyno test BEFORE the larger maf housing goes on, right?

 

wow pretty cool. I'm definitely going to look into this especially the spacers since the 3.5 manifolds seem to absorb a lot of heat

 

Plans are as scheduled.. Previous Dyno numbers will be used for pre-spacer dyno, and then post spacer dyno will take place shortly. On the second pass on the dyno the larger maf will be installed to show difference there.

 

Sweeeeet. Looking forward to the results.

 

going to Lujan bish.. show up

 

Does Lujan give runfiles? I've heard they don't..

 

Not sure, we'll see.. I believe they do if you ask for it

 

They do if you bring a thumb drive. No floppy/CDs, no E-mailing. Bring a thumb drive, they'll give you the run files right there on the spot.

 

Man I thought I was the first onto pairing this up with a custom intake. ughhh Well add me to the list of people working on it. I think Ill probably just buy a 3" tube cutout the spot for the maf boom.. +loads whp (combined with a modified IM) whooo its gonna sound throaty hehehe. Can only imagine. 260 whp+ here we go haha.

 

It’s not that simple. Your car needs to be tuned. Not only AFR, but tuned, in the real sense, not the common .org sense.

 

Can you say AFC and wb02...

subscribing for the results

 

Only proves what the common .org consensus on tuning is.

 

Not sure what else you need besides monitoring your fuel pressure, air flow, air fuel ratios and timing.

The way I understand it NA if you can keep your A/F around 13.5 you should be pushing some decent HP.

I guess I am just a newb though and while I am still trying to learn I may be oversimplifying.

If you get a SSIM, an 82mm MAF, headers, VAFC or SAFC or EU, with a WB02 and can keep your AF around 13.5 at WOT I thought that was the magic tune.

Obviously a dyno proven tune(with run files) is the way to go.

The above is what I am convinced is my goal so please correct me if I am wrong.

 

My point is that the word tune is used way too loosely around here.

2nd paragraph please

http://forums.maxima.org/showpost.ph...2&postcount=16

 

very nice man cant wait to see the numbers

 

... I know this man. Thats what safc II is for.. its really not that hard unless your an idiot. And I'm not an idiot.

 

Didn't read the the 2nd paragraph in the link in post # 31 did you Quite ironic if you ask me

 

Yeah... well I'm not really worried about it. It doesn't take a genius to figure out how to tune an engine..

Either way.. much respect to all yall forgin ahead! I'll be quiet now.

 

An AFC on works on WOT and other specific throttle positions, and all it does is control "fuel" to a small extent. Theres also timing to consider, part throttle tuning, etc etc.

Tuning means AFR, timing, WOT, part throttle and lots of other stuff. An AFC is only one part of the tuning equation.....thus a band aid.

Are yall talking to me.. ? Because it feels like it haha. Lets see.. what is tuning an engine?


Lean/Rich. Rich makes it run like crap. Lean makes it run nice and responsive. Too rich makes it bad(unburned fuel stress the engine parts that are struggling to turn over, broke rods or something).. a little rich makes it run cool (I like to run a hint rich, just a hint, for sanity) Lean makes it run how it should.. Too lean is very bad, burn your engine to hooey, make it run hot and dry. Hence tuning is needed. Also, you have little blips in your "dyno Line" that can be smoothed out resulting in a better and smoother "power line" (don't kno the terms) If you want a smooth properally tuned vehicle you need the perfect AF ratio. Hence tuning. Of course there is about 100 ways to expound on any of those things if you want to.. but in laymans terms I believe thats tuning. Right? Something like that?

If you mod your vehic seriously, want to realllly tune it up, you need safc II or something. Especially when you port your IM or get a new maf housing haha, or get way above stock whp. Next thing you know your reading on the org like an addict trying to figure it all out. whooo thats when it gets fun. haha. Not for people that don't have time for it, or don't take it seriously. I take it seriously.

Alright.. I'm going to leave this thread, maybe this will help other impulsive people that are thinking about portpolish mod and don't realize it takes these things. O man this coupled with big maf housing would be worth it just to hear.. haha I can almost hear it.

 

You could've saved your time. Kinda preaching to the choir. The point he's trying to make is that the S-AFC is not a serious/complete "tuning" tool, not that tuning isn't important.

 

didn't take much time. preaching to the choir is neccessary. safc II is the tool needed. and of course anyone knows tuning is important.
