Dual Walboros is no where near enough pump for that setup. It needs 3 Walboros or a Weldon one of the two.

True statement. I felt that a Weldon would be the best choice.

Riggs · 02-07-2008, 02:32 PM

Yep, the fuel pumps and roll cage are next on the mod list....

Just takes time and money, neither of which I seem to have these days, haha.

How well did the Inner Circle conversion fenders fit? I've heard mixed reviews about them. I'm thinking of doing an S14.5 and trying to find the most effective fenders. I've heard of cutting OEM fenders and welding to S14 fenders, IC, and Masa. What has been your experience with the IC fenders?

Riggs · 02-08-2008, 10:32 AM

THey worked great, and I had no issues....nothing out of the norm for aftermarket body panels..

The Inner Circle fenders are designed to be a bolt up affair with the wider flared out look on the fender like the S15.

The Masa fenders are in fact designed to incorporate your existing S14 fender because they dont flare out like the Inner Circle model does. The Inner Circle fender allows you to run a wider wheel up front with a lower offset. Fitment on them is very good upon visual inspection, but in the end you must find a competent body shop to complete the look.

Wow....coming from a Supra owner, I'm speechless, haha....

I'd like to do an S14.5 sometime in the future and I am always interested in the fender path people choose. I know making steel S14.5 fenders from the OEM fenders would be a bitch, but I have read that's the way to go. Judging by your pictures though, IC fenders look great. I'd love to have a pearl white S14.5 with a Vertex front bumper. The S15 front end is my absolute favorite front end on a car. Do you use an S15 front bumper and S14 sides/rear?

Anyway, gorgeous car. Hopefully I can join the club someday.

Update:

Wanted to welcome Deatsch Werks to the list of corporate sponsors on the project car.

We went back to the dyno this past weekend with a set of 1600cc DW Injectors, and they performed flawlessly. The car now has plenty of injector for the current setup.

With that being said, the day didn’t end up as we hoped. We maxed out the dual Walbro 255 lph fuel pumps @20 PSI on E85. The car made just over 650whp before we had to call it a day.

I made a call to my friends over at MagnaFuel this afternoon, and they suggested their street friendly, Inline Protuner Series Fuel Pumps. The particular model they suggested is MP-4303 rated at 2000HP in N/A Applications using gasoline. (good for around 1300 HP on E85).

What’s unique about their race pumps is they are E85 compatible, rebuildable, and they don’t require a fuel controller like the Weldon’s. (And various other brands of “race” pumps.) This is a significant cost savings, and makes this pump is fairly “bolt-on” affair in a car with an aftermarket fuel system already installed.

The new fuel pump will be installed in the next two weeks, and I will write a review for those that may be interested in our findings.

We knew three weeks ago the 1000cc injectors and dual walbros were not going to get us to our goal, but I wanted to see how far they could be pushed on the E85….as I know many on here are debating switching over in their own vehicles.

Here’s the latest dyno video, notice the fuel pressure gauge video at the end:

Paint the rear bumper and ditch those "tacked on looking" canards from APR and that car would be perfect.

Sign the check and it'll be in the body shop this week....otherwise I'll keep spending the money elsewhere.

....Perhaps the owner of the 240 feels the same, so why are you hating on him?

Come on!

I'm just jacking with you because you told someone to paint a part on their car when you have an unpainted hood. Just seemed obvious to go at it

I'm just messing with you though

mavisky · 02-21-2008, 08:01 AM

If he'd still had the carbon skirts and hood I'd have said nothing, just looks like he forgot something back there.

As for my hood; black roof, black rims, black fender flares, I'd say mine ties in well

You know, I have never seen a 1st gen DSM with flares. That actually looks fucking cool.

Are those Mustang wheels?

Riggs · 09-04-2008, 10:57 PM

I want to start out by thanking the guys at Abel Racing in Midwest City, OK (Specifically Erwin, who goes by Efeezi on the various online forums.) You guys have been a pleasure to work with, and your knowledge of all things Nissan is amazing.

It's been six months since the 240SX encountered bearing damage, which led to a full motor rebuild.

This downtime gave me the opportunity to rethink the current engine configuration, etc. While I was happy with the power of the Borg Warner 74mm (1.10 A/R) turbo with 9" cover, the spool characteristics weren't ideal for a street car IMO, and I wanted something that could make similar power, while providing a larger powerband.

After consulting Borg Warner, they recommended their 72mm (.90 A/R) ETT Turbo with their new 10" Race Cover, which has been dyno proven to make up to 60whp over their standard 9" cover.

The motor was rebuilt with an N1 Crank, JE Pistons, and Eagle Rods. Head was left untouched from the previous setup, complete with Tomei Hardware and 260/260 Poncams.

The car now sports the new Tial 50mm Q BOV, which sounds amazing, to go along with the Tial 60mm wastegate, and I'll have some dyno videos to post this weekend, pending all goes as planned.

Here's some sneak peaks from what's to come. Forgive the dust, it's been tucked away in the corner of the shop for several months awaiting parts.

Riggs · 09-05-2008, 11:47 PM

The car was completed today, and I’m very pleased with the finished product. The plan is to dyno tune the car tomorrow, and I’ll upload the graphs as soon as we finish. The car sounds beastly in person, I wish you all could see it in person.

Special thanks again to corporate sponsors: BF Goodrich Tires, Tial Motorsports, Borg Warner, Abel Racing, Je Pistons, Eagle Rods, Tomei USA, and many others along the way for your help with the vehicle.

As promised, here is the debut video of the new setup:

Missed this before, but yea they are. 17x9 FR500 rims with 275/40-17's tucked under fender flares for a 240z with the rears on the front and the fronts on the rear. The rims were 21lbs and $169 a piece shipped to my door. Hard to beat that. My dad actually has them in a staggered offset on his 04 gt in chrome. I give him shit about it.

Riggs · 09-11-2008, 08:25 AM

Very pumped to share the new dyno numbers with you. Took the car back to Abel Racing last night, and Andrei Mitine tuned the low boost map for the target goal of 25 PSI on E85.

The car put down an amazing 726whp/502tq! Enjoy the video, and look for a race gas video in the next few weeks. Shooting for 35 PSI, and 900+ whp.
