right around 200 hp... brooke, you really need to look into getting the a/f adjust some... that lean spike that you have at around 2.5k might cause some problems being at around 16:1 you might encounter some detonation w/ that... Just something to consider! Congrats! and keep up the good work!

Nice! Yea that lean spike kind of worries me...

Hope your engine lasts a long long time... What boost do you run everytime? 8psi?

Yea it is a little lean around there but the fuel curve is pretty good at the high rpm. I bought a manual boost controller today can`t remember what it is but it has a check valve in it. I plan on going up to 10PSI. I want to see what it can do!

decent numbers on an engine thats in spec for a rebuild. what are you doing for timing? thats going to kill your motor faster than more boost

According to Blake who runs Walker Dyno I should be safe going to 10 PSI and he thought I could go to 12 PSI. He said the fuel system I have now will support it. I did not show the chart were it boosted to 14 PSI before it leaned out. I just bought a boost controller yesterday and will play with it next week. I am going to crank it up 10 PSI and we will see what happens. After all this is a project car. My goal with this car now is to see how much HP I can get with the boost controller, New BD exhaust and cold air intake. 2nd phase is to install BD Fuel upgrade, Enthrapy chip and LSD. The last phase will be to replace the engine and add more boost!

Hello Sean,The diff is coming in Monday. I ordered a J30 96 diff from a junk yard. I guess I will try to get it installed next weekend, depending on the weather. Today I was suppose to work on the oil pan, but this sore throat and cold crap wont let go. Instead I raised the boost today to 10 PSI no change in timing. Worked great until tonight when a friend that has been waiting to ride in my car for a while rode in it and I blew my hose off the turbo. Dammit!! I should have checked everything before I went out tonight! Luckily I had a flashlight and tools to fix it. I did get a nice turbo burn on my hand On the way home I pulled up beside a 70 something camaro but he didn`t want anything to do with me. He wouldn`t look my way.

UpdateJ30 is sitting in the garage waiting for bushing, washers and bolts that were shipped today from AZ. Subframe spacers suppose to come in tomorrow. Motor mounts I am hoping will come in Friday. Friend of mine is suppose to help me modify one of my IC pipes to keep it from blowing off. I don`t know if I will get everything done this weekend. The following weekend I will be flying to AZ to attend the NOPI/Nissan event So it could be a few weeks before I get everything done.
