Too much is never enough....boost+juice

BlackJack · 11-09-2009, 09:58 PM

Ok, so I was having a fun time getting spooled off the line with the rediculous size T70. After adding the 4t65 with a 2.93 gear ratio, it made it a little more sluggish out of the dig.

With the 4t45 (3.05 gears) I was getting spool time at around 2800 to produce boost. Now with the 4t65 it's spooling more around 3500 or so.

Easy fix. Yeah I could put a tighter gear ratio in, but at the expense of the 30+mpg highway I've been getting. so......

Nitrous going in this week. Should be interesting to say the least. Stay tuned (pardon the pun).

It has got to feel good to be playing with the toy again instead of shootin and blowin things up BJ. Nawww you probably enjoyed killing the bad guys.

Let us know what goes on with the NOS.

Finally, some action around here!

Mine's got to be de-modded to do repairs right now, probably going in to a tranny shop here for a while. Good to see you back at it.

thanks guys, it's good to be back !

By the way AleroB888 - I'm moving to Fort Riley Kansas shortly, which I think would be closer for us to get together than southern Arizona. Or is it?

Put the money toward a legitimate ball bearing turbo! If you plan on keeping your engine free of compressor wheel pieces and would like to make the turbo spool up faster and be more efficient, a nice ball bearing GT35R will do the trick.

Besides, nitrous + boost usually isn't the easiest to tune, and if something goes wrong with your setup, it goes REALLY wrong. Not to mention that stock bottom end probably won't survive that amount of forceful power being shoved into it.

How long will you stay there?? Topeka is one possibility for racing when the track opens.... I think one other Aleromod guy lives there.

wrestlingandrunning · 11-10-2009, 12:08 AM

Well I haven't even started on my 300zx tt, my schedule has me held off from working on the first one and selling it but I will hold it off to see some other aleros

BlackJack · 11-10-2009, 12:56 AM

Not yet on the GT35R. That's $1200-1500 by itself. I'll risk it for now, since I'm doing a complete forged bottom end at tax time

kwhauck · 11-10-2009, 09:20 AM

i like the way you think........

how about a really big cam too.....like mine.......

Trickyslick · 11-10-2009, 11:13 AM

I don't know what "big cam" you have, but I'm going with a WOT-Tech turbo grind quite a bit on the wild side. I have to get all my mods together before selecting the grind though.

Mod-wise, things will be looking very hellacious by spring time.

kwhauck · 11-12-2009, 09:12 PM

i posted it on here before, and i can never remember my icl.....

but it is a comp cams billet

230/242 @ .050 duration
280/294 @ .006 duration
.577/.577 lift. 115 LSA

[ion] C2 · 11-13-2009, 01:13 AM

damn .006 duration lol

BlackJack · 11-13-2009, 01:29 AM

You must be going for some serious RPM's with that LSA. That's going to bump your power band to the upper range quite a bit.

I'm not going for stretched rods on high RPM's, so I'm opting for a little lower on the LSA. So, what are you doing with your springs and/or rockers for that .577 lift?
