Sure.

I now have about 3" of clearance after adjusting my turbo mounting location. I will be able to get another 1/4-1/2 inch after I install my ES motor mounts. They will allow me to pull the pipe up twords the tranny a bit more since I won't have to worry about tanny/motor movement as much. The mouts them selves will rais the motor and tranny a tad as well. The clearance I have now is totally daily driveable without having to be too careful. But only have a 1.5" Eibach drop so others with lower cars than mine would have more issues

 

welcome man.. good to see that things are working well

 

Finally was able to push the car. Took her out late tonight to some empty streches of road and did a bunch of 2nd-3rd gear pulls. Got my exhuast hooked up and the car is not loud at al. My NA set up was louder and that was not very loud at all

Car feels really good. It is not crazy fast or anything but I get that nice little feeling of being pushed into the back of the seat.

Boost starts at 3K and it is fully spooled at 4K (as in I reach my wastegate spring setting)

I get .39 bar and sometimes .4 bar with my peak/hold feature. My wastegate spring is .4 bar so I am not loosing much at all through the intercooler.

Once I hit peak boost it holds till redline, so no boost leak

It is cold here, right around freezing so traction is an issue. I don't have much traction in 2nd gear at all and I could have swore I spun a little in 3rd. Once it warms up I hope my tires hold better.

I reach 80% AFL on my SAFC, so I guess I have plenty of room on the stock MAF. The 80% means 80% of the 0-5 volts is used correct? As in I am using 80% of my MAF's ability to meter air? But the curve is not linear so I am not sure about that.

I have my knock sensor calibrated with the SAFC and I have not gotten anything above 3. Do you guys know at what level on the SAFC knock is a problem. I know on my brothers 40 or 50 is normal.

My fuel pressure reaches around 70-75 psi. There was some confusion as to what size disk was in this FMU, but it is probably a 10:1 (40/2) + (5*10) = 70psi

Over all I am very pleased with the results. I thought I would have many more issues after the install but things have been fairly smooth.

I am 95% sure I am going to dyno tomorrow and play with FMU disk size and the SAFC to get a decent tune.

I am eady eagar for more boost, but I am going to stay at this level for a few months probably.

 

So how much boost were you running last nite? Glad to hear youre pleased with it so far, we all know it doesnt happen overnite. Let us know about the dyno!

 

He is just running the 0.4bar (5.9psi). Aparently, this is enough to hang with a stock 350z.

 

I take that with a grain of salt, a stock 350z is only running about low 14 (maybe a high 13 if you are lucky)... I sure mike would pull faster than that...

By the looks of things it is impressive, most impressive... your hard work will be worht it... good job!

 

I say you blow off work and come to the GLD meet. I wanna see this thing in action!

 

Got to the dyno today. Very pleased! Waiting for the run files to be e-mailed to me.

The Z that Dave is refering to is BriguyMax's 350z that traps 103mph. We did a couple 40-80 runs and were pretty much dead even

 

You postin it here or dyno forum?

 

oh... that guy traps 103mph in stock 350z?

It would definitely be cool see your dyno results when you get them...

 

He ran 13.68 @ 102.6 stock, now has run 13.38 @ 103.7 with testpipes and a filter. VeeTec (also from this board, different area of the country) ran 13.71 @ 103 stock also. People that run 14s in stock Zs need to get off the track and leave the driving to the people with more than one leg

BTW mike had an extra 200lbs or so in his car when they ran, so given that brian's z traps almost 104 (on 18" wheels even) I'd say mikes car as it sits would trap 105.5-106 if he were to head to the track this weekend (hint).

Mike put down 260whp and 260tq on a dynojet.

 

if hes hanging with the Z at least 238 to the wheels.

 

Brians Z put down 245 stock its probably around 255whp now.

 

not bad, stillen did a dyno on one and it was 287 hp/wheel-238hp. and with 9lbs s/c 369hp/wheel-305hp. cant wait for mike's numbers now, and after he turns up the boost should be interesting.

Hmmm... well I guess a stock 350Z is faster than I thought... the numbers I saw from car and driver road tests were in the low 14s- high 13s... it is hard for me to know these things anyways since I live a mile (5000ft.) above sea level... up here a 350Z with full exhaust and intake will run a low 15s... unless you got boost, the altitude kills us up here...

 

Yeah, that's what I would think, but you could look at the voltage your maf is seeing on the SAFC

 

excellent dyno, i was estimating just below that with 5lbs of boost.when your finished correcting the things you feel need to be done your gonna have a monster.

 

u gonna have an install write up soon?that'd be nice...go out and kill a subaru k?hahaha

 

just kidding...street racing is bad...not patronizing u or anything

 

Love the pics, and great job of the install, know go out there and make a vid of your car i would love to hear this thing.

 

I was going to bring my camera for the trip to the dyno, but left it at home.

It was fun when we ran briguymax's Z.

 

Man i wish i was there, what was the out come of the race?

 

the gearing on the two was so different. it was like a 40-70 run and was shut down. Mike had to shift 2-3 while Brian stayed in 3rd (i think) for the run. Nothing else was really done. There was way to much traffic.

 

Has anyone come up with a step by step procedure on how to perform his mod??? I have over 230K on the motor and tranny, therefore they are due for a rebuild. Money is not really an issue, I will be performing all of the work myself (other than machining). I have already done te suspension mods and the drop. Just point me in the right direction. I have another car to use during the rebuild. Time is not a factor. Any help is greatly appreciated.

 

Your maxima came alone great.! I have a question for you though i'm new to this site and wanting to turbocharge my 99 nissan maxima peral white GLE.. now i'm ordering every thing peace by peace and my only problem is how the turbo is mounted... in your pics i see that is mounted right on the side of the engine but for the exhaust to reach the turbo how did you do that did you custom make the piping or did you buy it ? any info would be great

 

it would be different for you since im going to assume you have an automatic to go with the gle, there is much more room with a manual

 

nice work mike. looks great. And that should be a small beast you got on your hands

 

370whp worth of beast
