Guest Anonymous Posted November 19, 2001 Share Posted November 19, 2001 My homemade reducer using alum tape, where can i find a 2.75" to 2" hose reducer? A pic showing the i/c and my dad trying to figure out what i just spent 4 hours doing A pic of my bracket, and i made a similar one on the other side. Im impressed by how sturdy it is. I guess the i/c and BOV gives away my sleeper status This shows how big the 240sx throttle body is when compared to my 2" piping. All I have to say is that at 5 psi it feels like a rocket. I was running 10 psi this morning in the cool weather and i left some big skidmarks in my pants. i raced a 5.0 w/ silver racing stripes (@ 430 in the morning, lmao) and tore him up. we raced three times, all from about 45mph up. I seriously walked away from him. the last time I stayed in fifth gear and slowly pulled to 1 carlength before i got off my exit . My problem is that it detonates once the car warms up. Well not warms up but gets fairly warm. Could this be heat soak or something? it detonates at like 5 psi whenever its warm, in like 2nd gear and up. first gear is fine. Its sorta making me curious, because I am running rich so I am assuming it is airtemp related. maybe i can try an alcohol spray system on my i/c because it runs like a beast in the morning when it is nice and cool out but when it hits 80 or so outside and the cartemp is @ 180 it will just detonate. Well thanks guys and tell me what you think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLKMGK Posted November 19, 2001 Share Posted November 19, 2001 Alky into the intake or onto the intercooler? I'd think spraying the intercooler would end up a waste. How's the ignition timing? P.S. Maybe use an exhaust expander on the end to get to 2.5 maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to second guess your build; but what is your compression? Turbo's & high compression usually equals detonation...but wouldnt an I/C counter a high compression engine(?); I'ld think that that would depend on the efficiency of the compressor & the efficiency of the I/C. Timing is probably an issue as Jim said earlier. Have your tried higher octane fuels? Just throwing out ideas/my non experienced .02's worth.
