Anybody hooked up a boost gauge yet to see what's going on? I keep meaning to however life keeps getting in the way of tinkering!
yes, the dynamic c/r will be nearer 9:1 with that late valve closing eh,i bet the taiwan guys are upping the boost already0.4bar is around 6psi... other than the fact is missing a piston, and chunk of the compression stroke, a low boost figure explains the relatively low HP figure for a modern boosted engine!
I dare say a couple more PSI wont do much harm... if we can figure out much smaller the pulley needs to be!
cheers everyone
i thought about how to install a boost gauge, and maintain it simple and not destroying parts of my new car . we came up with the idea to put it into the center fan holes (like most 200sx and silvia owners do aswell).
Only just seen this! 1st modified k13 i have seen. i used to hate these.. but the more i look at them the more i like them, great work mik
I rather like them too. not so sure about the facelift, trying far too hard now, which is a shame.
Wish I could have these on my k11 where did you get them??today i was at the tuev for clearance testing my new wheel fitment. what they do is they jack the car up and then put two large blocks under the front left and rear right tire and let the car back down. it has to have clearance all the way down to pass the tests. theres plenty of space left in the arches! so im street legal with my tire setup after seeing how cool the lower car looks, i need coilovers haha
hehe squarepants, i didnt like them either until i saw some modified ones on the thai page
yes the new facelift is too, well i dont know what it is, but its far too many.
@kamarley: ive ordered them through my local shop (here in germany) but i think you can order them through their homepage: http://www.emotion-wheels.de/index.php?id=24&L=1
the cars status:
did about 3200miles in about two months, car is running great.
still didn't start the boost gauge fitting
still looking for an exhaust system
and i think i want to have coilovers
Too much silver on the facelift front logo. I asked Nissan france and they replied its not an option and it can't be removed
Nice. Can you tell me if those vents normally supply unheated air to your face when the heater is on warm? the K11 does that, and it's a feature very sadly missing from new cars these days.
