I have a sds em-2 6f,,,, I have abandoned my build so I will be getting rid of all my turbo stuff. It is complete! Every single component. I even have the pully balancer with the pick up magnets already installed, Install manual, with a couple maps from prev owner. I am asking $450 + shipping&PP

I ran across this one today, may be just what the Dr. ordered!!! http://washingtondc.craigslist.org/nva/cto/4816272204.html

Thanks, thats what I thought, just wanted to be sure before I junped the gun.

I have the opportunity to pick up a new never used one for a really sweet price. I am on my cell and cant access the sticky, but I want to know if the 84 a/r turbine would kill my Low end. I know 63 a/r is optimal, but would 84 take the fun out of it? Stock block and p90a, will be going with 500ish injectors, large intercooler and meth injection,controlled by sds 2 fuel and spark..... If its not a good match for our engines then I will pass and buy the proper size... Thanks

Thanks fellas! Well what I now know is that the sds 2 doesn't use idle air control, so am I correct to assume that I will have to tweak idle air by adjusting the screw that holds opens the valve on the 240sx tb in sequence with the fuel adjustments that I dial into the sds controller? If so then I am really going to be an "old schooler"!

Ok, now I am starting to get the picture, well for the IAT anyway. So let's see if I have this right. If I plan on running a water/meth inj in addition to the intercooler, then the IAT sensor should be after both of them but as close to the throttle body as possible, am I on the right track there? Now I must admit that the idle air bypass has me a little confused, only because I will have the intake build that Senza Pari provides (if the group buy #2 ever kicks off). I will start to research exactly how the bypass works and what type of device I need to implement it. Here is what I will attempt to find, let me know what I am missing from my list... 1. What a idle air bypass looks like and where to obtain one (new???) 2. Where does it terminate to? 3. How is it controlled? When I brought this car, I had no idea that I would be learning all this fun stuff. I can't wait to get it running and feeling what it feels like to be in tune with your ride, to know whats going on inside and out.... To be one with my ride... Kudos to you guys for being here and pointing me in the right directions, as I go. Hey Tony D, you remember my first post,,, asking what these were?

I have been putting together the ingredients for my turbo swap, and it's coming together quite "Niftily" if you ask me (Noobest of the Noobs). 1. Anyway, I read through the sds install manual and today as I spread my kit out (just to admire it) that my sync magnet is mounted on the inner radius which is where the trigger magnets A,B,C are mounted. Now the pully is scribed with the outer radius and a hole drilled just next to this magnet which is where I assume it was originally designated to go. Now in my nooby brain I am thinking that this will screw up the trigger signal being picked up by the hall sensor and that it is not going to see a sync signal. Help me understand why this was done this way. I guess if this was done in error I can drill the magnet out and place a new one on the outer radius where the manual states it should be. 2. Can someone confirm or clarify for me if my inlet air temp sensor goes in the 1" spacer where the red arrow is pointing.. or does it go upstream of the throttle body? Thanks for any insight that you send my way! Lawrence

Is 2f worth getting me started, or should I hold out for a later version? My goal is a modest 300ish hp/tq range using a t3 04e 50trim garret. Sds seems a tad bit more straight forward and easier than megasquirt to me (noobest of noobs).. I originally posted asking would I be able to use the Ls1 coil set up I have waiting, but I am not able to find any finished projects with this combo. So sds 2f looks like it can do what I need....right? Thanks Lawrence

Found a manifold, this can be deleted...

Looking for a turbo exhaust for my conversion. Thanks, Lawrence 443 600-5297

Never mind I found it, sorry about that.

I tried to find the thread but I don't know the right way to do so.... exactly where do I go to find it???

"Check out my MS3X install thread . It has pics and might help with some options" Now we're cookin with gas!! Thanks

Thanks for the insight fellas. I am going to try and find some video where I can see some "visuals". This is all new to me and I am learning as I go, so I need to actually see the alternatives you all are giving me. Sorry that I am not keeping up, but I will get it!

Thanks for your insight Kirk, I definitely will be doing more homework on the difference between the optical dizzy and the crank wheel. I will be running megasquirt so if you think the optical dizzy set ip is simpler, I will read up on the two. Thanks again,

Kit would include all of the coil gear including the bracket, and the water hose housing to redirect the hose. I think all I would need is the 36-1 wheel? Anyway, is $350 decent or too much? Any insight is greatly appreciated, noob piecing together an eventual turbo swap... Thanks Lawrence

Any pics of your various intakes, I am in the market for one. Thanks Lawrence Lwrnclightner@cavtel.net 443-600-5297

I need a n42 intake manifold, however I have noticed that there are ones that are webbed and ones not webbed. I think look wise the non-webbed ones look better, but looks vs function is what's important, right... So would I be doing my self a diservice by finding a non webbed one? By the way, it will be used as a core for the mod that Senza Pari offers. Any insight is appreciated and thanks in advance. Lawrence

LOL!!! Point WELL taken Bro. I've been introduced to a fellow z driver who recently dyno'd 640Hp with his set up, so hopefully when we talk he will shed his experience about the science of blow thru. Oh and I heard back from Whitehead performance, and was informed that they would be glad to help mewith the necessary hardware. Good news Indeed.

Thanks Nigel, 600Hp wow, I'd die an early death with all of that. Actually I don't desire the absolute fastest beast, just fast for me, if that makes sense. Anyway, How can I get in touch with this fellow?

Guys I'm sorry, I know this has been beaten to death, but I'm new to this whole scene. I realize this thread died a long time ago but I'm curius as to if there is a improved method to blow through triple carbs these days. are there still hard heads still running this set up? If so can someone enlighten me. If not, what is the best way to turbo my engine if I currently have triple mikuni's that most say will not work with a turbo set up. I just want a semi daily driver that can get me there fast as hell, or faster. So are my options? .... 1. The ITB with the engine management set up is attractive but what kind of street speed will it deliver? 2. How much of a nightmare would converting to efi with turbo be? 3. What other turbo options would I have that I don't know about (if any)? Is there something like a bolt on turbo manifold with some kind of fuel management/delivery out there? Again, please excuse my lack of knowledge on turbo, and keep in mind I have an expert that is going to get me there, I am just waiting in line for him to get to me, we have discussed this over the phone but again I am eager to start learning what my options are going to be once he gets to me.

I know this is an antiquated thread and topic, buuut... I am new to the turbo them. A little background so that I'm not eaten alive. For months I have been saving and planning to have a stroker built. Last night talking in depth with my engine guru buddy who will be doing all the work, he convinced me that stroker has some concernable drawbacks for how the car will be driven, almost daily street purposes. He informed me of all of the benefits of turbo and that with some tinkering that my trip mik's are doable but webers may be preferred for a blow thru scenario. Now that I am starting to research blow thru turbo I see that this is old news and I would be one of very few that would still be running that set up. But I love the carb look, sound etc etc etc, So I think with his expertise it can be pulled off. I'd like to start researching my best options in todays tech. I would think it should be a little easier than when this thread last ended. I see Tony D has EXTENSIVE first hand knowledge and he made it work. Tony D can you and all the other pros help this fledgling get started? So with what I have already... F54 block, n47 head and trip MIkuni's, how much would I expect to need to get me in the turbo game? I hear that turbo can be had for less than the stroker so ball park what am I looking at $$$ wise and what kits are available to get me started. To have it done right and last, I know it won't be cheap and I will spend what needs to be spent without cutting corners to get it done and stand up to a little abuse now and then. My engine guy knows exactly what he needs to get it done, but of course I couldn't comprehend being the first conversation over the phone talking turbo stuff, and I am the type that wants to know how it all works and why, so while I'm waiting for him to get to my project I thought I'd start to educate myself. Thanks in advance guys, Lawrence
