Alty941647545539 Posted September 20, 2010 Report Share Posted September 20, 2010 (edited) Hey all ! My name is Eric, I'm 30 from Canal Winchester. My newest project/toy is a 1989 Nissan 240sx SE with a swapped sr20det. It's a total rust bucket and I'm currently looking for another shell, but it's fun to drive Sorry no exterior shots yet of the 240....I'll take some this week. http://i303.photobucket.com/albums/nn148/alty94/IMAG0262.jpg My daily driver/winter/family hauler car is a 05 Pontiac G6 GT. http://i303.photobucket.com/albums/nn148/alty94/G6/DSC00095.jpg Took a break from the scene for a while and had a few kids...Now that they are getting a little older, I finally get to start re-acquiring my toys That's about it....any questions and what not, just let me know ! -E Edited September 20, 2010 by Alty94 Resize of first pic 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had the car for a few years with no issues on the Pano roof yet (knock on wood) but it's noisy as hell on the freeway when it's closed. Needs readjusted to make a tighter seal when closed.

Fubar231 Posted September 20, 2010 Report Share Posted September 20, 2010 Does your hotside ic piping go from like 2 to 2.5"? Looks like after the turbo where its facing forward, it gets bigger. Looks like a 2-2.5" transition. Anyways nice car and welcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure why it's like that and it's something I'm looking at replacing. It's hard to see in this pic, but it does the exact opposite on the intake. it goes from 2.25 (roughly) to 3 after the MAF. There is a silicone coupler that expands it to 3. I'll take a side angle pic to show you what I mean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You think they would of just ran 2.5" piping with a 2 -> 2.5" silicone coupler, instead of actually changing the piping size itsself... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The transition is smooth and doesnt seem to effect anything. I'm running the stock turbo with stock ecu and waste gate, so it's only at 7psi right now. I have more fuel than I need (big fuel pump and injectors) and will probably pick up a boost controller in the next few weeks and start slowly up-ing the boost while trying to keep my A/R closer towards the rich side.

Be careful with boost controllers lol. Costed me a bottom end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alty941647545539 Posted September 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2010 I'm looking at a Profec B II from Greddy. My buddy has one on his WRX and he has not had any boost creep problems (yet) I'll leave a manual gauge on it to verify and hopefully if the solenoid goes, I'll catch it in time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having to set the wastegate opening pressure, the gain, etc. I could NEVER (repeat) NEVER got my boost stable. It always creeped or fell off or something. Granted that was probably cause i had a 57trim inducer wheel on my stock turbo. My inlet was bigger than the exhaust outlet so that probably didnt help.

boosted98gst Posted September 20, 2010 Report Share Posted September 20, 2010 Welcome! I am a s13 owner too. With the stock turbo you should be fine around 14-15 psi on the t25 with the pump , injectors and tune. I use to run the dog shit shit out of my sr before and after turbo upgrades.
