My beastly build @ Project X

GaleForce · 03-25-2012, 03:21 PM

Love the tear down photos. The roll cage is beefy! Looking forward to Moar!

mantella87 · 03-25-2012, 03:25 PM

Amazing. Do you have a wallpaper res for that very first picture?

Jordo! · 03-25-2012, 03:26 PM

Specifically, what are you doing for the build?

modme · 03-25-2012, 03:27 PM

Interested

Nice build! Looking forward to updates.

One said car doesn't run properly all the time, because of this. Fact. It constantly has to be tinkered with.

Yes, it "can" be done. But done reliably and safely to the point we are comfortable with at this time, no.

Also, as I stated earlier, I need to ease myself into this much power. Or I will literally kill myself.

Love this car! It is definately going to be a beast

This car is going to be awesome when its done!

christian370z · 03-25-2012, 09:09 PM

Wow, this is certainly one of the cleanest Nismos out there and the TT build will only make it that much more awesome. The best of luck, can't wait to see her all buttoned up!

I'll take that to mean you don't actually know why, but heard it from someone else.

The only issue I am aware of that would present a problem tuning is UpRev currently doesn't have control over the throttle enrichment maps which results in poor drivability due to flooding the engine when running too large of an injector (1000cc for example).

Aside from this, from a tuning standpoint I can't think of any technical reason why you can't run a 370 over 600whp "safely", hence why I was asking why you said that.

Sort of. I based my decision on what I was told from the guys doing the build and their recommendation and what THEY know (the key word being "know"), not what I know. I'll be the first to admit I don't know everything and don't pretend to try. But I put my faith in people who do.

We simply did not we feel comfortable going any more than that at this point, and frankly, I'm not ready for it anyways.

wow good luck. Hoping you get over 600whp!
