My first pics since I did my 3" charge pipe and my MAF and Injectors...I havent put the covers back on because I want to do the plugs in the next few days but you get the idea







Fresh Klasse AIO, SG, SG, P21S alittle dark but...

 

beautiful!!!!

 

wow man!!

I need to try and fit that in my 6th gen for sure....

just an awsome job, keep it up...

 

I can't see them...

 

If you cant, check the website...I always have problems posting up here with cardomainm I just wondered how long it would be till i saw a problem this time

 

Just sick!! Your car looks mean and love the rims, keep up the good work.

 

looks shweeeett

did you notice any boost gains with the new pipe?

 

I didnt really look yet..Ive had minor problems with the ECU, MAF, and stuff, so I havent had it out all that much...I waxed it the past 2 days, and ill be takin it out....the car looks the best it has, since I bought it, for sure !!!

Wow. Engine and car looks great.

 

Holy hose clamps Batman~!

Looks HOT!!!!!

 

It's clean thats fo sho.

 

They are working now. Those 3" pipes look like they mean business under the hood. I've never seen 3" SC piping on a max before.

 

Sure you have

 

My version (before rerouting the boost pipe):

 

Are you still using that 300zx intake elbow? If not I'll take it off your hands.

Sorry for the hi-jack!

 

Very nice Matt, looks hot!!

 

That looks hardcore and strictly business!! You should think about polishing some engine parts too.

 

just too damn sexy.

 

Wow Matty...u have come a long way...itwas not too long ago that u were trying to convince ur parents just to keep the S/C...and now u are entering innovative and creative experiments? props to ya.

 

what did you use for the 2.75 outlet and elbow?

 

Stephen, did you relocate your horn? Nice mod

 

you have to, its part of the install.

 

I took one of my Old Silicone Couplings and cut about a 2 inch peice off of it...just enough to cover the section that I was clamping on..I put the 3" 90 degree coupling over it and clamped it down

I had to cut a bit off of the 90 degree coupling so it wouldnt rub against the light bulb housing but I made sure I didnt compensate the 90 degree at all
It really hurt cutting that $50 peice of rubber

-matt

 

so will this help increase airflow for me even if i am still running the stock throttle body?

 

my 3 inch coupling tightens down fine on the blower outlet.

haha matt mine and your cars look like twins.

 

Very pretty Matty. Love the charge pipe!

 

matty, good job! Now your next project is to shine up the snail to complete the bling!

 

yea that and doing the front valve cover...all in due time

Explain how you got such a nice shine on the blower ??

-matt

 

hit the gym...heh j/k

 

Removing restrictions via bends or smaller diameters in the charge piping will free boost that your SC is already making but is being lost. How much I don't know, however SM is making more boost at all RPM then any others(besides blubyu2k2 T-trim maybe) IMHO.

Your TB is probably the biggest restriction, right? If so, I'd start there. I'd have Stephen port your IM to match a 70mm PF throttle-body first. Of course, you'll have to figure out how to make the IACV work, but I'd bet it's not that big a deal. Then I would upgrade the charge piping and clock the blower. Finally, swap the MAF or ghetto rig the sensor into a larger diameter PVC pipe. The last will require retuning and or swapping to the UE.

 

Right now I haven't really gotten any 7200 rpm pulls but at 6500 Im making a hair over 11psi on 95+ weather with the 3.125. Yes I've done a few pulls on the stock ECU . My next upgrade is the 3" charge piping which I think will gain quite a bit for me, decreasing a lot of turbulance. I also currently have a bored TB approx 68mm so its not totally worth it for me to spend $300+ for 2 extra mm's bore. Im destined to make 400whp on boost alone and I know for a fact headers and 2.87 will get me there, im just waiting to see how close I am with the 3.125.

IIRC I was toucing 14psi when I did once pull to 7k plus before JWT fubared my ECU. Im kind of scared to see what kind of boost the 2.87 will make.

 

A more recent photo (sorry to hijack your thread, Matty, at least it's on topic):

 

Just awesome, man...I could never afford this but more power to those of you whom can...no pun intended.

 

awesome do you have any pics of the pipe routing? Looks like your ready for a FMIC.

I've been thinking about a FMIC for a while, but simply routing the pipes away from the engine helped reduce temps a lot without any appreciable pressure loss.

By the way, in the thread referenced above I talk about not being happy because of a chuffing sound at partial throttle because of compressor surge and backflow through the blower. I eventually fixed that problem by ditching the Blitz DD and installing a Vortech Mondo bov (largest bov in the free world).

 

I see that your still using the Cartech ??

I like the valve cover...thats the next little project for me to tackle

-matt

 

Yes, the 370's aren't quite big enough at 14.5 psi.

You better buy a spare cover and polish it rather than using the one on your engine. It takes a while (but not nearly as much time as the USIM).

 

oh, it's cooooooool
