Forums Forums StuyMac : Nissan 180SX

Lol, yeah the filter will get changed - need to find one from a 300ZX as that is the airflow meter and adapter it has fitted

It currently running about 8psi as I kept blowing a bung which which was intended to have the std dump valve fitted to it, so Ive been keeping the boost low, though it still has no problem lighting the tyres up in 1st in the dry

The engine and map should be good for 15psi+ which I hope to build up to for the next rolling road day

what size is the bung as i might be able to be one made up for you

35mm, but I ordered one from tweeks on Saturday, cheers for the offer though

(Its currently bodged with a Lucozade bottle cap as it was the only thing I could find on the roadside when broken down having blown the original bung out lol)

i saw this today as u drove past me looks very nice. was beging to think your car was an urbun myth

Such a sweet looking car stu love it.

Cars lookin good stuy, glad ya finally got it

Just bought a nice set of Cams for her.

Trying to squeeze a little more power from the engine without actually increasing the boost level

when are u fitting these mr mac

Ive also had fitted (With big thanks to Webby) a plain black sunstrip.

With the car having a cage fitted the front roof bar needs the std sunvisors removing so it will fit. This is a nightmare when the sun gets low, hence why Ive needed the sunstrip fitting.

Ive also got a few more bits and bobs on order:

New K&N with Z32 AFM adapter
Bung to block DV feed on the intercooler
1.3 bar Radiator cap for improved cooling effiency
Koyo Alloy radiator (Increased volume)

Tomei PonCams (mentioned above) - these will be fitted as soon as they arrive

Awesome, looks like a proper jap drifter with all the kouki stuff fitted

It looks sexy mate,
i can tell your more than happy with it

I cant belive you have had it only 2 weeks
and you on 5 pages (x50 post).

Looks great Stuy well done

More bits on order

Just ordered a Stainless, tubular manifold and enquiring about a dump pipe which has a dump to atmosphere wastegate exit

screamer pipe on route then stuy?? How much more power would a manifold give onn a turbo car?

Some makers of the manifolds claim 15-20bhp, though Id be surprised if you get 10bhp from them. However they let the exhaust gasses out faster and more efficiently as they are all the same length, and thus help keep exhaust gas temps down, and improve turbo spool times

Know everyone knows i dont know anthing about turbos or engines for that matter.

But i have heard that equal lengh manifolds dont do much. purely because of the pattern the piston fire at. so the gases would reach the turbo at different times anyway.
