Looks sweet. Side exit exhaust FTW.

You're gunna need some bigger tyres.

You would think so, but these tires are pretty sticky, though some 245's in the rear would be nice. I just need to get a new set of 4, these are just about at the end of their tread life (I've been abusing them for almost 3 years now).

I think I'm going to switch over to some BFG Traction T/A's, basically the same tire that I have now (same price too), but they have a little softer compound and (should) have a tad stiffer sidewall.

I love my side exhaust, so easy to make too. My only problem with it right now is the muffler. It's a Summit Racing cheap-o turbo muffler, so I wasn't really expecting the best sounding one, but it sounds like a truck with a broke muffler on it.

I think the muscle car guys are afraid of me... Somehow a rumor got started that I have an RB26DETT.
No one even tries to race me anymore. When I first got the car, everyone and their mom tried to race me... Then I got the SR20DE and started whoopin' on people, now nothing.

Well I got the water injection set up all installed and working, and I did some pulls with full boost... Holds about 12.5 to 10.2 AFR, but about 12:1 at idle. Not sure about that one, but I think the BOV is leaking a little, and it's not recirculated (going to worry about that later).

Not one hint of knock, even when beating on it in the 95 Deg F weather we had the other day.

After that I pulled the plugs to check them, see what's going on:

To me, they look almost lean to normal, but that could just be the water injection.

Here's a close-up

im still not really certain why youre using the water injection?
are you not running fuel management or something?

seishukuJun 10, 2007, 3:28 pm · #10

Safety zone... I don't have the cash to replace/rebuilt the engine, so a $100 water injection kit is a good safeguard.
Plus I don't have total access to 100% proper tuning (like a dyno), and my data logger just took a dump.

Also, I've been told by godknowshowmany Nissan tuners that my engine is a little too high compression (10:1) to safely run on 93 octane with my turbo kit. Which I find to be a load of crap, but like I said before, I can't take too many risks.

rageJun 10, 2007, 4:00 pm · #11

it is a load of crap, there are fwd guys that turbo their stuff all the time. id say get a wideband and youre golden.

seishukuJun 10, 2007, 7:49 pm · #12

Hm... That's kind of what I figured, but I'd still like to have that safety zone for now.

I have a WB, it's actually installed as an emulator for the narrow band O2 as well as a hookup for my laptop when I need it. But like I said, my data logger (Innovate SSI-4, to match my Innovate LC-1) is messed up, so to do some fine tuning I'll have to "link" my WB data with my ECU's consult data to get something useful.
