I got a tuff decision to use either a Ford 302 5.0L V8 Twin Turbo or LS1 5.7L Twin Turbo for the 180SX. I already have the 302 V8 out of my old Fairlane so it will cost me nothing, LS1 on the other hand i don't have and will cost me nearly 2K to get one. To be a cheap skate or not, both engines will get me the estimated 1000HP i require.

I want more than 1000hp but I only require 1000hp, would like to keep power to weight ratio at 1hp:1kg lol.

Not a great deal difference in weight between a alloy V8 and The cast V8 either way it is just as light a RB26 4wd setup.

I might start removing the engine out of my Fairlane this week.

Got the 180SX fully stripped ready for transport to Race Bred Enterprises HQ, just got windscreen and rear quarter glass to be removed. Also waiting for our other R32 GTR shell to arrive, both car will be getting cut and shut and caged at the same time ;)

    • Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg
    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
    • Yes sir am asking is there possible way from aem tuner from wiring pins 
    • Have you checked cam to crank timing and confirmed balancer marks are correct?
