boardkid280z Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 Very cool man! Still pretty stealthy Ah yes, new clutches soon become necessary. When you have more power, you usually start driving like it and that's no good for an old underrated clutch. PS: Tip: build a cold air box for the air filter so it doesn't draw hot air from the engine bay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noddle Posted April 27, 2009 Author Share Posted April 27, 2009 I did some data logging yesterday, after a hill climb, IAT hit 30C instead of the 60C ish it did before the intercooler went in, I must say I'm stoked with how well it runs, it revs easier, at 6.5k RMP - I lifted my foot, and it seems to want to go higher, and the increase in power from N/A to Turbo, the only down side now is in the wet, I must be so much more careful, it breaks traction so easily in the first 3 gears.

cygnusx1 Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 I think the Fel-Pro's are not as blowable, as the Nissan Gaskets. The OEM gasket seems to be the most "Piston Saver". The Fel-Pro that I used, seems stiffer and more brittle than the factory one. The factory one had more flex to it, with a narrower "blow out" region on the intake/exahaust side. Just my observations.

jeffp Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 Just oput of curiosity, what is the part number to that FelPro gasket you have the picture of? I got a FelPro and it was a different gasket all together. The stock gasket looks closer to the FelPro part I bought. Do you think there is a difference between the N/A say 77-78 car and the turbo cars? I would like to try the gasket you have pictured.

aarang Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 FelPro 8799PT. I have a new one and it does appear to be a MLS type gasket. It cost me $30 at Napa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
e_racer1999 Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 Every FelPro HG I've gotten over the past 5 years has looked like the top one... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlatBlack Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 Wow the 8799PTs are $17 through AutoZone... And they are universal for all L6 blocks. [At least all of the L6s are listed on the sheet that comes with the gasket] How much are the Nissan gaskets? I remember X64 talking about how the Nissan gasket acts like a fuse and allows the block side to rip easier so it won't break a coolant passage.
