jacob80 Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 Hey fellas, I figure I should make progress thread to keep track of what I'm doing. Here are a couple of photos to get started, just mounted my Holset to my manifold along with my external wastegate. I went ahead and welded the adapter to the manifold, I don't plan on running a different setup anyways, but if I do, I have another manifold. I rebuilt the HOlset (even though it probably didn't need it) and the motor has recently been rebuilt, as well. I'm using a -4 AN oil feed line with an .059 oil restrictor and the stock Nissan oil drain tube. Ztay tuned! . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacob80 Posted July 1, 2011 Author Share Posted July 1, 2011 Update: Tonight I plan on pulling the head and installing my ARP head studs. I'm also going to inspect the cylinders for anything out of the ordinary. Additionally, while I have the head off, I'm going to port match it with my Lonewolf intake manifold to get the best flow possible for my Holset. My goal is 400hp once I get an Isky cam, but I'm shooting for 350hp with my stock cam on the stock bottom end for now. Photos to follow, ztay tuned!

BluDestiny Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 you can make 400 on a stock cam, the porting is where the magic happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacob80 Posted July 3, 2011 Author Share Posted July 3, 2011 I have been running Megasquirt 1, but I just picked up a MS2 daughter board and will be running that from now on. I bet the porting could make 400, but I'll save that for a later date. I'm on a tight budget! I'm not sure if it will help or not, but the stock intake runners are of smaller diameter than the head ports, and once I measured the runners on the Lonewolf intake, I realized that they do actually match the inside diameter of the ports in the head, so maybe with the bigger intake manifold and my minor porting on my exhaust manifold, I can get right under 400. We'll see though, it'll be fun regardless. Photos to follow tonight!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
