Hey wagon lovers!!

Got a quick couple of questions! Just spend couple grand on me wagon getting her looking nice and running a bit faster! So mods I have done are pod, front mount, 3" dump with no cat on varex muffler control (I know pretty extreme) but sounds intense. Just wondering what boost I should be running through it? Or is standard high enough already! Why power figures should I be looking at pulling feels like around 200awkw?

What other good and sensible mods can I do to achieve a little more power, not to crazy as it is daily driven :) already finished interior with full splits, subs, tv in it and jvc DVD player reverse camera etc.... Open to ideas guys :)

What power should I be making?

What boost should I run? (M35 250t)?

What other mods can I make?

P.s not looking at making it a track weapon either :) lol

With a high flow panel filter, dump and exhaust, I was making 166kW atw. Pod filter won't make much difference on standard ECU and suction pipe, so you'd be about there. Not sure if the intercooler will make any difference in these?

After I did all that, I was also making 15PSI. If yours is a 250t RS Four (which is what I've got), I think you're at 12PSI stock, and if you've got a decent dump and exhaust you'd probably be making 14-15PSI.

I'm leaving mine at 15 until I'm ready to upgrade the turbo. Scotty has run his on a standard turbo at 20PSI.

There are a lot of other mods you can make, depends on what you want to do, what you want out of the car, and how much money you've got. Do a search and you'll find a lot of info.

What will stop you initially is the stock ecu, we are still searching for a suitable way to adjust it and have to make do with the Emanage Ultimate at the moment. It will allow you to clamp the AFM voltage to get around the airflow cut and change mixtures, timing and injector sizes. Without this you will be limited to around the power Ryan is at.

The stock turbo will do 180kw on stock boost and perhaps 200kw at 20psi but may not last long with the ceramic rear wheel. I ran mine up to 226kw on eflex.

just look at peoples signature there u'll usually find the mods they have done :)

here's my list: Power Duct and BMC Airfilter, Scotty's Dump Pipe, Fully Custom 3" Stainless Steel Xforce Exhaust, Phenolic Intake Spacer, BC Coilovers, Transgo Shift Kit, B&M Transcooler, HDi Intercooler and sittiing on some 20" Advanti Desires.

basially im getting about 15-16PSI as low as 2500rpm at a guess i would have thought power was around 160KwAW so its good to see BigKev's stats as it makes me think i might be closer to 170KW :D

here's a list i stole off Jetwreck (craig) a while ago................

NismoECU Piggybacked with an E-manage Ultimate - Tuned to run BP98 - Currently safetuned to 15-16 PSI at 268AWKW's - Capable of more this is a very safe tune!

Rebuild and high flowed turbo with a Garret BB set and GT30/71 core

Dump with a 3" custom exhaust

Suction Pipe

Custom intake

Custom Alloy radiator

    • Hey everyone, I recently bought myself a 2001 Nissan Stegea M35, and I've had a few issues that I had to fix, my car would start intermittently and I had a bad rocker cover leak, after a couple days of looking I finally found a part number that interchanges with the OEM starter as the OEM starters at $1300 and I can't afford that, this starter was only $270 and I replaced the start and still had the same issues, I posted a video asking for help online and it went very well, some guy said it was probably a bad ignition switch so I took my dash apart and turns out my ignition switch was half screwed in and was loose, once it was tightened it fired right up, I found a local place called "Boost factory" and they sold me a part of OEM Nissan rocker covers, they were $600 which was a shocker but I couldn't find them anywhere else, so I installed them and fixed my oil leak as the old rocker cover was cracked and warped, I now need to replace my boost air inlet hoses as they have some cracks.
    • I am being real ocd and do not want to make amy mistakes so appreciate all help provided. I am overly cautious so asking for opinion even if i know the answer   few questions,   1.re tensioner, should spring be greased lightly?    2.tensioner has two washers , one pressure washer and other has recessed/ seat. I am going to put the recessed one facing tensioner where edges are cut out and pressure washer on top   3. my car has custom triger kit sold few years ago by guy who initially built the engine. I moved the crank gear and it moved in and out easy, only way to remove belt is to slide the crankshaft gear forward which I did. I have seen these being very tough to move , anything to do with my woodruff key?   it has a crank sensor shown in purple which I assume reads from the 12 teeth position mounted to the crankcase gear   4. timing belt doesn’t have arrow stating front or back just a arrow which I think is direction of rotation . Do you agree?   5.i figured out why my crankcase cover was worn as there was no washer installed over the crankcase cover before the harmonic balancer was put in place. It is missing, anyone knows the part number? It looks like this https://justjap.com/products/genuine-nissan-crankshaft-timing-gear-rear-plate-washer-nissan-s13-ca18-a31-r32-rb20-r33-r34-c33-c34-c35-rb25?currency=USD   https://tinypic.host/image/IMG-4535.382Zy2 https://tinypic.host/image/IMG-4537.382dSz https://tinypic.host/image/IMG-4534.382q4U  
    • CTIS (Central Tire Inflation System) has existed since the 80's. I'm looking into buying a Hummer H1 and they generally included it. 
    • My idle is set at 950rpm though - Moving the timing around 20 degrees is not really what I'd call a calm idle. That said... neither is chop, by definition. The LS ECU likes to adjust timing to hold idle as opposed to air. It'd work, but generally speaking there'd be a discrepancy in the base idle and the IACV would want to move the timing around anyway to maintain said idle. I think I'm just going to keep the timing steady anyway. Preserve my engine mounts.  My aircon is now officially regassed. As the guy was reversing I noticed my reverse lights do not operate, along with my reverse cam. This is a bit distressing, because 100% of guides talk about which wire to connect to backup cams as "the goes with the [other color] wire". Often when doing conversions. Unfortunately the R34 colour wires aren't documented Unfortunately I had a T56 Magnum gearbox with it's reverse switch, which also isn't documented. Unfortunately there's definitely not documentation for people with both of these in the one car. Unfortunately I forgot. After many hours of this, I have a reverse cam and reverse lights again. The wire going through the trans tunnel to the reverse switch had broken. Upon inspection, it looks like this one wire had about 7 spade terminals and extensions in it.. for reasons I cannot possibly comprehend. I also spent the 750 hours required to clean up the wiring behind my head unit which now looks like this: This is a monumental improvement relative to what used to be there WRT triple gauges, head unit, traction control, wideband controller, and whatever the f**k OEM stuff still exists there in various states of connectivity/needed. Next step is to check in at the Exhaust shop to see/confirm how much clearance I have, to decide what mid mufflers or 'resonators' (which are just straight through, narrower mufflers) I can add and hopefully cut out a lot of exhaust leaks, pinhole, v-band or otherwise. But first step will be to 'take a look' before the next step.
