I have now figured out why I am not impressed with the car, if I give it stick from the beginning, meaning from 1st gear and keep on pushing through all the gears, it fucks off...I'm impressed.

When I am not impressed is when I was cruising in lets say 3rd or 4th and then start pressing, it takes long to pull, you really have to put the pedal to the metal, so there is a lot to work on there, at least I know if I'm in a race, from 1st she will put up a good fight.

Derek, the impressive part of a turbo engine is the transition from n/a to boost.
Incorrect timing can make an engine real crap to drive while the correct timing here will put a serious smile on your face. Don't be scared to chase timing up to say 0.5 bar boost.Obviously check it out carefully but you will not believe what it can do to the driving experience.

Thanks BK, it is something I have to do, there is parts where my afr jumps to 17 on very light loads, there is some work to be done on my fuel and timing map, the problem is to get someone to drive while I do that, for some reason my afr gauge and the ecu does not record the same afr amounts, so my data logging does not help me much.

Made myself some det cans, now I can tweak the timing and fuel a bit

Hey Man,

Nice job on the det cans. Let me know how well that pipe works pls, as I'm about to make myself one
and was wondering what pipe to get. Was thinking compressor air lines, but that pipe would probably
be cheaper.

Thanks,

Hey man, worked well, I advanced my timing on top with 4 deg and could clearly hear detonation, it's just a bit of a bitch to drive with, on a dyno it will work great because you don't need to worry about traffic, indicators turning and so forth.

D, with that little setup, if you put a microphone in the pipe and connect to a laptop, there is software you can get to isolate frequencies.... You may be onto somthing good here... That then would give visual aid to spotting det

Hey buddy, yes...there are even how to's on doing the electronic setup, you just need to buy whatever and do it....

Bought a new mani yesterday, most probably won't flow as good as the s/s import but will be a hell of a lot easier to remove and put back.

nice!

Its not cute, but I like the design.

Thank you...maybe I'll send it for chroming...then it will be cute 🙂

It looks well made and nice design.

It does Gary....and it will be a hell of a lot easier and faster to install and take off, the bends on the import are so close that you can hardly get an m10 nut in there and the only ones that will fit in there is the oem nissan nut that's almost as small as an m8 nut, a normal m10 nut has no chance, stud has to be shortened that results in maybe being able to tighten the nut 4 threads...that's after you struggled half an hour a piece to get it to catch.

Before you chrome it....

Powercote it.

Yes...that would be the right thing to do.
