quick question i'm not sure of.

i got a Apexi power fc L-jetro ecu in my car with a gt2871r. i'm running 19lbs of boost right now.. i would like to some how run a high boost setting and low boost setting so i'm not dailying my car on 19lbs of boost. how would i go about doing this. i also have a manual boost controller.

Mister.E · 02-09-2010, 04:35 PM

if you dont floor it every where you are going then your car will never reach 19lbs. drive like a normal person when you DD your shit and you wont even have to worry about a different setup.

you could try and put hose clamps around the hangers that you have right now and just keep tightening them down to raise your exhaust up some. not sure if it will give you the clearance you want but it's easy to do so it's worth a shot IMO.

Thanks! I read up earlier about that.. so like a radiator hose size hose clamp I assume? as long as I can clear switching lanes without seeing sparks fly in my mirror i'm fine lol. Might do the job. Any other ideas? Maybe like a solid frame bracket eh?

good point. i think i wanna set my boost at 15lbs. that'll be around 300 hp with my setup i think.

does anyone know where i can buy some megan coilover wrenches?

240sxenthusiast · 02-10-2010, 11:22 PM

did a compression test on the kade. car was warmed up,WOT, and the compression numbers came out to, 95psi in each cylinder....is this even possible? runs and drives good, i drive it everyday....184kmiles.

Spring Break '92 · 02-10-2010, 11:47 PM

What is the issue? That sounds l bit low but since they are even that should indicate even wear. Id say drive it till it dies, but don't turbo it.

If the hose clamps dont work then you just need to get a new exhaust that has better clearance.

would altima fans cut it? Aftermarket radiator? or is the radiator over kill?

Stock setup will work just fine.

whats this new thing that everybody wants to put a s14 subframe in there s13?
whats the advantage?
stronger?

Spring Break '92 · 02-11-2010, 09:00 PM

Retarded question, but I cant seem to figure this out: I have a Nardi wheel with an HKB hub on my S13, how do I get the horn to work? I tried and tested everything with a volt meter even to check for continuity. No results. I have had a couple different Grant wheels on previously and they all worked with a two wire setup. How do I make this horn blow with a one wire horn button? The metal ring on the hub is definitely contacting the brass pin on the car. I had only disconnected the horn connector when and messing with this stuff and could hear the relay click before. Did I burn out the relay? Ive searched this everywhere and could never find anything solid. Any suggestions?

Renelovesnike · 02-13-2010, 01:44 PM

Ok quick question?? one of the couplers in the intercooler piping came loose and showed that there was water in the intercooler/piping!! is this a simple remove all piping and dry it with a hair dryer/ im thinking the water was in there cuzz it just rained!! can there be another reason y water is in the piping?

AE_Racer · 02-13-2010, 03:55 PM

does it look like the "water" in your engine?

Renelovesnike · 02-13-2010, 04:17 PM

^ u mean antifreeze/coolant? NO its just regular water!! =D i just want to make shure its nothing more major than water getting sucked in by the intercooler! =D

AE_Racer · 02-13-2010, 04:41 PM

well did it rain/did u drive it in rain while the piping was loose? if so thats your problem. no other way for water to get in the intercooler system

Renelovesnike · 02-13-2010, 07:54 PM

^ Thank you =D i figured!! just wanted to make shure it was nothing else!!

Renelovesnike · 02-13-2010, 09:28 PM

ok im having some trouble!!! so im finishing up my 5 spd swp and i droped in the shifter, and the c ring falls right in with the top plastic that goes ontop/round the bigg ball, is it suposed to be able to fall right in? its not locking onto the wall!! also even if it did lock onto the wall i would have about a mm or 2 of up and down play!! is there a stock washer/spacer that im missing?? is the c clamp too small?? btw i have two stosk shifters with both the exact same components!! and c clamps exactly the same! so im lost!! =(

punxva · 02-14-2010, 11:10 AM

i've been fighting this fucking seized coilover for the past 3 fucking days. The bottom mounting point wont rotate anymore. I've let it soak for 2 days with pb blaster, hit it with a hammer, heated it up, put it in a vice. That fucker wont come loose. Any ideas?

Fries · 02-14-2010, 04:54 PM

I've got a s13 with z brakes on it. [with a blown motor, car has been sitting for a while] When I depress the brake pedal the car doesnt slow it doesnt even move the pedal that much.
Are the brakes shit?

No. That is pretty normal for a car that isn't running. The brake pedal won't apply much pressure and will be pretty stiff feeling. Of course, there could be other issues. However, the brakes work off the engine's vacuum through the brake booster, so no vacuum = brakes no worky.

I usually used my e-brake to stop my car when it wasn't running, and we wanted to roll it around.

kouki fanatic · 02-15-2010, 08:45 AM

please excuse me for being a dumb noob, but do s14's have timing belts? and around how many miles do we change them?

No, not a belt but a timing Chain. they do need to be eventually replaced but i have seen them last for 200K or so wit very minimal stretch. usually the tensioner will begin sticking and wont provide proper tension, before the chain needs replacing

but you get some stuff from homedepot and cut it out then you cut out your own amber ones and trim the clear piece and and get some amber bulbs and your set.
