I'm not going anywhere. I like this forum too much to leave even if I do get rid of the 40th. I'd honestly build the motor and enjoy the car if I hadn't dropped so much money into the car to only get more problems thrown at me.
Yea, I'd like to get a little quicker spool w/o sacrificing top end power. Find that perfect median Probably going to re-route the piping, each bank will have it's own wastegate collecting @ the divided flange on the turbo. No more piping going over the transmission, most likely. Very similar to JTrans 350 low mount builds. The Turbo I'm currently using is rated to 720hp but after I build the motor I'll probably replace it. Shoot for 600-650 reliable whp on our Dyno, which is an *** ton of power. Getting this clutch in, engine mounts, larger boost pipe and 3'inch intake runners is the weeks goal. However, knowing Johnny he will probably just want to refab the turbo manifold while the cars taken apart..... I won't stop him

I'm guessing Nissan isn't replacing your motor? I hit 12.4 psi on Meth. My motor still pulls -13 (give or take) vacuum, no ticking! I'll probably do a compression check soon as well.

Quicker Spool > Top End. Hell my car should be in the 550-575whp range on pump but boost should come quick! I honestly wanted to go 9.0:1 compression but didn't want to wait for custom pistons.

What piston ratio you at? 8:5:1? I'm looking @ doing the 9:0:1 w/ carrillo rods, HKS or Cosworht Head gasket, APR fastners!

Yeap... CP 96mm 8.5:1 w/ PolyDyn coatings, Cosworth rods, Cometic head gaskets, L19 ARP head studs. Go back to my first post in my build thread to see everything.

Yea, wasn't sure if you listed the ratio, I ran those same pistons in my 350. I want to use CP again. Your build is beast.

Changed my diff fluid yesterday. Car has 8k miles on it and I havn"t changed tranny or duff fluid yet. Lets just say the stock oil Nissan uses in their diffs looks like a chocolate milk shake. No bueno! My car running all AmsOil products now. Woot! Feels fantastic

I'd be iffy running anything other than Nissan's fluid for their Trans. Plus I've found for me 35DE w/ boost the Rotella-T to be best based on my BlackStone Lab reports.

I plan on running MT85 on my tranny. I had a bad synchro from 3rd to 4th on my 300ZX, changed fluid to MT90 and never had the problem again, smooth as butter.

Goin on seven years using amsoil in my VQs, etc.... No issues. Rotela and Amsoil have the same basic numbers breakdown.

Ive heard good things about the Joe Gibbs racing oil as well! But family and friends have been using Amsoil in everything from dirtbikes to 18 wheelers with great results for a long time. Rotela/Motul are fantastic as well, im just an Amsoil fanboi!

I've been reading Synack's engine troubles(Loud ticking noise from engine) and I just wanted to let everyone know I've been using 10W-40 in my VQ's for years. I didn't want to post on his thread because Mod's were concerned about getting off topic. I sleep better using a little thicker oil, plus w/ all the blow-by issues w/ FI and apparently NA, it doesn't hurt. Also, Wstar layed out good habbits to have when starting your car, let it warm up for 10 minutes, don't get on the rev's till the car is properly warmed up, these small things will greatly increase the life of your motor.
