I just thought I'd give a quick heads up and update some of the stuff from my previous posts. We took the car back to the dyno after fighting what we believed to be a misfire problem. We hardwired the coils, hooked up an HKS Twin Power DLI, and rechecked the plug gap, but still had no luck. Then I figured out that the AEM boost cut was set too low! So all that for nothing, lol. Anyway, we also hardwired the fuel pump because we had a voltage loss going to the pump, so that fixed that problem. With the car getting proper fuel, and no boost cut (or imaginary misfire), we layed down 500rwhp/372rwkw and 420rwtq/313rwtq @23psi.

We're still running a bone stock head, just ARP's, and headgasket for the increased boost. I'm not sure what the limit of the stock cams are on a non-nitrous motor, but we'll soon find out. The 550cc injectors are officially maxxed out, so it's time for some 750's, and then we'll crank the boost up to 28psi to see what it makes.

We took it to the track and it ran 11.01 @128mph, so it was a pretty solid setup. This is also in full street trim, including a body kit, and a stereo system with XM sattelite radio! The car will be on the cover of S3 magazine in March, so check it out if you get a chance. Thanks to everyone on here who gave help and suggestions. It really did make life easier 8-) We're not done yet though. We've got more to come...

Congrats mate

theres not much more without nitrous that i could get out of them

i made 502 rwhp and then 591 with gas on standard cams

what sort of motor, and in what car (auto/Manual)??

The car is a 5spd. The bottom end is a Wiseco/Eagle Combo, and it's in a 1998 240sx. The motor is great, I can't say enough good things about it. If I put more injector, and throw more boost at it, it should be at around 550whp. The cams are definitely running outta breath for just having boost, but that problem will be addressed shortly as well. I've got an old video of it making 450whp, and drifting, which is from the previous tune (back when we were having "spark" issues), and another video of it at the dragstrip with the NEW tune. Lemme know what you think. Thanks again guys. This forum has been a TON of help!

    • Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL
    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
