240Z Turbo Posted March 4, 2002 Share Posted March 4, 2002 First I must say the exhaust is loud, but it is my kinda loud. My next door neighbor has a mint Pantera and his is much louder. Well, after bleeding the brakes I took the car out for a little spin. The torque converter felt a bit tight, but I think a day of driving will loosen it up. The car feels like it has good pep off-boost and seems to accelerate nicely with 1/4 throttle. I did gas it in 1st gear and it made 8psi quick. However, because I have not yet tuned it for boost I let off. I should have it running well before weeks end and hitting 17-19psi regularly from the Twin 16G's. I will keep you posted on how it runs with boost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cody 82 ZXT Posted March 5, 2002 Share Posted March 5, 2002 I think everyone is just waiting on some track times. sounds like the project has turned out as planned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted March 5, 2002 Share Posted March 5, 2002 very cool, i am interested in seeing your dyno figures when your tuning is complete. i just went to the dyno on fri and my clutch slipped at 360 rwh.( with only 9psi of boost and one stage of nitrous) i should see over 400 rwh when the upgraded clutch is in the car. i just wish you were closer it would be one hell of a race.

240Z Turbo Posted March 5, 2002 Author Share Posted March 5, 2002 Ahhh, looks as though I have underestimated the power of the SSS510! Those are some nice #'s you are seeing. BTW, what kind of shot are you pumping with the NOS? 125hp? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fl327 Posted March 6, 2002 Share Posted March 6, 2002 forget the track times, we gotta see these two cats run em head to head! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted March 6, 2002 Share Posted March 6, 2002 well, the same shot on my n/a motor was 120 hp to the wheels.however my port manifold NOS should be around 145hp to the wheels, with the single intake fogger being 40 to the wheels.so around twice as much hp with the same shot of NOS. turbos and NOS go together like peanut butter and jelly.i would strongly caution anyone thinking of going this route to make sure that the wastegate(s) they are using are up to the task.

stony Posted March 6, 2002 Share Posted March 6, 2002 when you say wastegates up to the tasks are you saying they need to be big enough to keep boost from rising after nitros is flowing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
240Z Turbo Posted March 6, 2002 Author Share Posted March 6, 2002 I believe he is referring to the ability of the wastegates to flow. You will probably generate excessive backpressure in your manifold if you undersize the wastegates and throw NOS ontop of it. It is along the same lines as oversizing the wastegate so that you can undersize the turbine side a/r and wheel. You want the Wastegate to flow the exhaust instead of the turbo that allows for quicker spoolup. Remember, with the NOS the extra exhaust generated must have someway to exit.
