first the turbine outlet (downpipe) has to be rerouted back into the intake charge at the compressor inlet right before the mafs. this thermal exhaust energy will aid in performance. next you will need to disconnect the vacuum hose at the fuel pressure regulator and plug it up and set the base fuel pressure at 1 bar. then the wastegate line running to the compressor needs to be blocked off as well. this will give you a noticeable boost increase on the T72 which needs to be ran in its efficiency range. the ignition timing is very important. the higher the number, the less likely you will detonate. so set your base timing to 35 deg. to properly break in your motor, you will need to leave it started for 30 min without any oil and race the motor over and over again to properly clean the bearings. the final step is to use a 50/50 mix of brake fluid/coolant in the radiator.

hope this helps.

not too long ago I was with one of my friends at a shop he works at and they were talking about this sentra that was there. He said that some guy had brought it up there for him to work on. He said the guy had paid someone to swap in a sr20det and that it was running really ****ty, so he brought it up there to be fixed. He says I gotta go see this. So he takes me outside to it and pops the hood and what do i see? TWO intakes on the turbo , yes that right, TWO OF THEM. One on the compressor inlet, and one on the compressor outlet. So basically it was compressing air and sending it back out the other intake. I have never seen anyone ever do that before, I was amazed.

My mom's average oil change was at 8,000miles she had one recently which was at 15,000miles which is why I have it now although not I got lots of work to do on it but got it for free.
