ooohhh yes, a BOV is very important for my GT-RS turbo which is working at 31psi. A super SQV is mounted after the front mount IC - hidden under the front bumper ....

**mrmephistopheles** · 08-09-2004, 02:41 AM

I am not to savvy on the camera terms, but will be by the end of falll term (taking photo). My camera is too user friendly and doesn't allow much of any changes on exposure. It just has pre-set programs. Its an Olympus D-550 Zoom, I just used the night shot. It chooses its own exposure, but it sure as hell wasn't short.

On location, thats at the planetarium, but keep in mind its a tow zone there (its also a curb), and that sign on the right thats turned around says no parking... So I didn't really get a good chance at perfectly setting up the car. My car became possessed when the headlight fuse was in so I took it out.

hahaha it's the thought that springs into my head EVERY time I see of hear the word.

thank you, South Park.

Dutchmalmiss · 08-09-2004, 03:55 PM

31 psi!!!!!?????? That's champ car level boost. Please explain.

*revat619* · 08-09-2004, 11:13 PM

i'm guessing (hoping) he meant 13psi. If not, i second for an explanation.

Thats such a kick ass photo. I might go check that out this sat nite. Havent taken pics in a while.

How was the meet?

thomas · 08-10-2004, 04:12 AM

Last summer I drove my SX with a complete stock SR (except HKS Stage 1 camshafts) but with a perfect environment. for example: large intercooler, free flow exhaust (with CAT), perfect fuel and ignition setup (E6K Haltech) with a HKS GT2540R turbo (exhaust A/R 0,86). The exhaust housing of this turbo was to big and I had a big lag and poor response.

This spring I planned to build up my SR to a reliable 2l engine with good response and higher power output.
So I put the best available parts on the market into my SR (JUN, HKS, Nismo, Greddy) with compression ratio 8.0:1,
controlled with an E6X Haltech.
The result of response is very good: 3500rpm - 20.5psi (still with CAT).
High power output wasn't that bad (31psi) but I had problems with the spark above 5500rpm. So I ordered better coils and 2 new spark plug sets but I can't start with a new RR session because I've no working gearbox available (my SR killed 2 gearboxes during the last 2 months!!). Now I'm waiting for a OS-Giken gearbox set and then I hope can finish my setup.

holisticbeatz · 08-10-2004, 03:08 PM

pretty nice SoCalS14.. more low.. more camber.. and sideskirts..

My $0.02

but nice.. nevertheless..

dxm · 08-11-2004, 06:37 PM

Hmm, I guess our perception of high boost is slightly different, to me 20.5 psi is already quite high. Do you have a built motor, what are you running for internals.

The reason I'm asking is that I have that exact same turbo (HKS GT2540R) and if you're running 31 psi on a stock bottom that's amazing...

180SX S13 Nissans in Europe were only sold with CA18DETs - S14 Silvias only with SR20DETs. Some people also imported US models (KA24), but you can count them on one hand.
So the European 180SX and Silvias are turbo cars and with a few mods (IC, exhaust, fuel pump, FCD) the Europeans are able to run 15psi or more without any problems. Another big difference is, that a stock 180SX or Silvia need fueling called "Super" (95 Octane) and for modified cars you can take "Super 100" or "V-Power" (100 Octane). 100 Octane fuel is available on almost every gas station in Austria.

Since this spring I've the following internals:
balanced crank shaft
JUN pistons (87mm - 1mm oversize - 2048cc)
JUN connecting rods
Nismo main and rod bearing
HKS 2mm head gasket
HKS valve springs
JUN titanium valve retainer
HKS rocket arm stopper
HKS intake and exhaust camshafts Step 1 (256°)
optimized cylinder head

Last summer (2003) I was running my stock bottom SR with this GT2540R turbo with about 26psi (perfect fuel and ignition setup - Haltech E6K). Power output was 300kW (408HP) on flywheel. I reached this power with standard SR manifold and CAT.
This summer my SR is completely done and running with HKS GT-RS turbo at 31psi (fuel and ignition setup not finished - I'm waiting for my new OS-Giken gearbox parts).

Angelus · 08-12-2004, 03:46 AM

Haha, hello from Germany to Austria!

I will never forget that you smoked my SX last summer! I`m still impressed, it was amazing!

When will your gearbox parts arrive?

Hi Angelus,
also a nice hello from Austria to Germany.

oohh yes, it was very funny in Bonn.

Regarding my gearbox parts: I'm sorry but Taka will send them out via air freight on 6th of september. So there is no chance to come to the coolest and biggest SX meeting middle Europe.

Thomas

Angelus · 08-12-2004, 06:06 AM

Oh, i`m very sad to hear that!

Damn Taka!

But on the other hand, why don`t you come with your Jetta? It would be great to see you in september, with or without SX!

I'll think about it. It's very hard to drive with a Jetta to such a cool event ....
