VPNeverLoser · Post by **VPNeverLoser** » 13 Aug 2004, 19:29

u have to get a turbo first in order to install a BOV, right? Or u can install a fake one, lol

Grez~Supra_RZ-S · Post by **Grez~Supra_RZ-S** » 13 Aug 2004, 19:30

1200bhp. Do you realise how much power that actually is?

God I wish I could afford it.

Yup, you can only install a BOV if you have a turbo.

If theres any direct questions you want regarding your car, ask me. I know someone who has a 550bhp one.

DrewBoi · Post by **DrewBoi** » 14 Aug 2004, 00:46

Grez~Supra_RZ-S · Post by **Grez~Supra_RZ-S** » 14 Aug 2004, 01:25

hmmm thnx... since i'm a freshman in hs i'm gonna start taking automotive classes at my school since they have them... and my car is cranking out about 460 horsepower/435 ft-lbs and with the air intake it will add about 10-18 hp so i guess im happy since my friend has a ford aspire that has 64 horsepower...

Grez~Supra_RZ-S · Post by **Grez~Supra_RZ-S** » 14 Aug 2004, 02:01

er, not even the WS6 has that power. It only has 325bhp/350lb-ft.

DrewBoi · Post by **DrewBoi** » 14 Aug 2004, 02:05

yea my dad bought this engine (dont know what he was thinking)

here are sum specs:
this is the right engine(the 1 b-fore was the cheaper 1)
LS1 Engine
1998-02 Camaro
500 horsepower/485 ft-lbs.

382 cubic inches - Forged stroker crankshaft - Ultra-light billet stroker rods - Lightweight forged pistons - Plasma-moly file fit rings - Performance engine bearings - Cylinders torque plate honed - Line honed main bores - Balanced rotating assembly - CNC Ported cylinder heads - Larger high flow stainless valves - Performance valve springs - Titanium spring retainers - Chrome Moly pushrods - DRM hydraulic roller camshaft - Donaldson Blackwing Air Filter - B&B Route 66 Exhaust System - Ceramic Coated Longtube Headers - Custom computer calibration

yea i know its not a ws6 but my dad didngt like the front bumper and the spoiler 4 the ws6 so he bought the stock firebird and built it up...

Grez~Supra_RZ-S · Post by **Grez~Supra_RZ-S** » 14 Aug 2004, 02:22

Sounds like hes had quite a lot of work done.

DrewBoi · Post by **DrewBoi** » 14 Aug 2004, 02:28

yea he loves that car but i guess he likes his gto even more... i dont know why... i would want 1 if there was 1 like in a tv movie that ponitac help fund and the gto was awesome lokin about 600 hp...
but yea we havent really "drove" my car yet. but soon i will check my 1/4 mile and 0-60 stuff... since there is a race track and a drag track we will test it but if my dad skrews up.. i will be mad.... actually its not really mine b-cuz i am not old enough to drive yet but i drive in a empty parking lot sum times but when i turn 17 its offically mine.
yea what are ur specs?

Sergio · Post by **Sergio** » 15 Aug 2004, 13:37

air intake doesnt give 10-18hp...thats one thing for sure
you can even loose power if you have it in wrong place (very hot like next to engine)

when i got my car there was already Green Cone air intake ( http://www.greenfilterusa.com ) and is set up to close to engine (maybe because i got little car whit little engine but anyway) i am on way to fix that...and put scoop on it ( on hood ) to have engine suck in more cold air

Grez~Supra_RZ-S · Post by **Grez~Supra_RZ-S** » 15 Aug 2004, 16:05

air intake doesnt give 10-18hp...

Depends on the intake, and the car. Both mine and the Blitz SUS claim to add 20bhp to the Supra.

yea what are ur specs?

Not much at the minute, Im saving up for new turbos and an FM intercooler, plus a boost controller.

Post by **TheStig** » 16 Aug 2004, 01:38

the engine needs some extra attention, you need/want new rims...

any favs u have grez !

Hey Grez... i bet i could keep up with ur car

Not for long

Ok, first off, how much did it cost to legalise your car in the US?

Body parts:
Kit: http://www.do-luck.co.uk
http://www.whifbitz.co.uk/skyline-bodykitscwest.htm

Personally, Id go for the do-luck kit. Id also go with do-luck wheels.

Basically, the car would look like this:

That full kit costs Â£1800. The wheels are only sold as 18"s, hyper black will set you back Â£450 per wheel.

Tuning is a very complex area, especially with the Nissan Skyline as the sheer diversity of available options can be overwhelming for the uninitiated. There are a number of companies that I can reccommend, but you really need to decide what horsepower youre going for first.
