I'm New Here And I have A Simple Question Thread, (No Flaming Allowed)

[PapaSmurf2k3]

What is the best AFR to run on a KA-T during WOT?-if you could nail it down to one afr number what would it be?

What is an average intake manifold temperature?(KA)

What is the maximum rpm of KA with S13 cams, the redline?

lol thanks again, youve helped me out more than anyone.

Best AFR during WOT- 11-12Intake manifold temps: they vary with a person's setup, but they would be under 200 degrees F.Max RPM with S13 cams is about 7200 RPM.

i think its my s14s turn to give me problems now! haha, i've recently been having trouble turning it on. itll start fine, but then if i try to turn it on again after ive turned it off it'll turn over and whatnot but wont start the engine

my buddy is having the same problem in his vert as well. it usually takes like 3-5 minutes to get it to turn on again after countless times of trying!

EDIT: and i think im having an overheating issue as well! it was getting awfully warm in the foot area as i was driving tonight, and my temp was a little bit over half! i stopped at the gas station and filled up the radiator with water, as it was lacking some. the temp went down, but not by a lot!

How well did you inspect the throwout bearing? Do you think it might of fell off?

Just picked up a blackon black 95zenki se, Tien springs, crossdrilled slotted rotors, that being said there are only two things left i want to do cosmetically.1. Where can i get the lip tha attaches above the rear window?2. Where can i get the r33 style headlights, (I heard someone refer to them as euro lights which scared me! but let me know)

Bleeding the brake lines will do nothing for your clutch. Did you bleed the clutch from the slave cylinder after you replaced it and the master? Also, do you still have your clutch dampening box? If so, you should remove that.

does anyone know what are the things i need to do/upgrade in order to get the most out of a stock sr20 motor? i really want to feel the car boost when the turbo kicks in but right now its a little weak at 14psi. I want to make some upgrades but im not sure exactly where to start. what are some cheap ways to upgrade for a bigger boost? I dont race or drift, but i just want the boost to be really torquey when i fire her up. any help would be appreciated.

[PapaSmurf2k3]

You can start by getting some 3" exhaust, from the turbo back. The less back pressure with a turbo, the better. Next, you should look into a front mount intercooler. After that, you're going to have to start upgrading lots of stuff (fuel, turbo, etc).

anyone know how to fix wipers? no power going to the motor. checked all fuses it still good. used test light. im thinking either motor or wiper amp? what u guys think

[PapaSmurf2k3]

I don't know what kind of amperage the motor gets, but you can try pulling it out and hooking it directly up to some current source, and see if it does anything. If it doesn't, its the motor. If it does, its something else. Nice sig pic btw.

[asko2k4]

does anybody know where i can find light bulbs for the s13 projectors? ive looked everywhere and i cant find them.

Ok!

I recommend buying from one of our sponsors. They are the ****, and keep NICO running. They also have rock solid reputations, and many offer a NICO discount.

Hello everyone I was here a few weeks ago talkiing about my 240 sx and the speedometer. I did some searching under the hood with the engine schematic of the car. I found the speed meter to be a (Y/G) yellow green wire and the to neutral switch for the reverse lights thats a (G/O) green orange wire. As well two black wires that seem to be ground wire all cut. I found the female end of the speed senor intact and use a spare male in and tried wiring the speed meter wire with a ground wire to connect with the female end. I didn't get any result. I took if to a local garage and had them look at it. The guy pretty much didn't want to waste his time at it and told me I might have the wrong transmission in the car base off that there are only two wire feeding from the speed senor on the transmisson end. I'm pretty much stuck right now till i get it to another shop later in the week and get a better look under the car.

The car drive fine and stifts real smooth except a bog at around 5500 RPM and I later found out that my Mass Air Senor has a Voltage Spike when its at that RPM range.

I have time to work on it any suggestion whats going on?????

[PapaSmurf2k3]

Well, if you connect the wires that had been cut, it should work. Maybe it is cut in another location somewhere on the car? Did you check right next to the ECU?So: Re-connect the wires, and re-ground all the grounds. Check to see where the ground wires lead to/from, and then maybe compare it to the ECU pinout. Unfortunately thats really the best I can do without actually being there. Good luck man, let us know how you make out.

i have a 90 240 sr swap...was wondering what you'd pay for an sr20 garrett gt2871 greddy intercooler hks ssqv 3 1/2'' hks exhaust megan test pipe apexi power fc w/ commander greddy turbo timer koyo rad w/ fans walbro fp sard 740 injectors? catch is, it doesn't run.

[PapaSmurf2k3]

whoa whoa whoa, you are going to have to section that up a little better with commas, or making it into a list or something.

Any idea why it doesn't run? I'd pay a lot more if it were out of gas rather than having a rod thrown out the side of the block.

[mastermindspr04]

Ok I'm going to check it out and I found out about a 240 shop in my area goin to see if I can take it there.

[trouble racer]

hello am also new to this web site ... But i am having trouble whit my sr20 its non turbo would that have any ting to do whit my problem? . And need some help .One of my major problems is that when i start it because it starts and then it just dies i don't know why at first i thought it was the alternator and then i replaced it but the same problem persists. can anyone help me?

[PapaSmurf2k3]

Does it have trouble turning over? Do you have gas? Don't laugh, that has been the problem more often than not. If yes, you might want to check your fuel filter or fuel pump.

[mattv2099]

Is it at all possible to do a two tire burnout with an open diff.

Reason I ask is I just did an auto to manual swap in my 89 240 this weekend. drove it 200 miles to break in the clutch. Did two burnouts and during each burnout each tire burned rubber and left a black trail.

On the lift if you spin one wheel the other does not. However, I've read that VLSD's will only engage at high rpm's and on the lift will act like an open diff. My M30 has an ABS VLSD and acts the same way.

This 240 is a base model with no options. I thought it was an open diff. Never burned out when I had the auto in it. The diff has the 6 bolt pattern.

*edit*come to think of it. It was in neutral when we spun it on the lift. In gear it was too hard to spin. When we finished the swap and turned the car on both tires spun together in 1st gear when giving it gas. .....

[PapaSmurf2k3]

yeah, I used to do 2 wheel burnouts with my open diff fairly often. Probably about 60-70% of the time it was 2 wheel. Now that I have VLSD, it is 100% of the time.

[AZ89two4Tsx]

^ Not really a n00b question Smurf, just wondering, what kind of wheels are on your coupe and what size tire are you runnin? Thanks.

[wessharkey]

hey i am looking a 240sx anybody have any recommendations? i was thinking of a 92 or 93, or is ther a better year out ther for that generation. is ther any specific engine type i should be looking for? other then a 2.4l dual overhead cam? i dont really want to spend alot on the initial car itself so i would like to find something stock and build it up myself. what should i look for? opinions on s13/ s15 conversion kits for body and engine?

ps anyone in bc? preferably the interior or lower mainland

[PapaSmurf2k3]

König Monsoons 225 40 R18 I need new tires desperately.

You can broaden your search to include model year 91 as well. Basically nothing changed between 91 and 93. 94 models are all convertibles.As far as body kits and engines... well that is really up to you. Whatever you think looks good. If you are new to cars, I reccommend staying with either a KA, an SR, or a CR engine. KAs are stock, and SRs and CAs came in the car originally in other places around the world, so they will be the easiest to swap in.

[AZ89two4Tsx]

^ Thanks Smurf. 18x8 I'm assuming right?

Ok, thanks for that info. .... I'm prety sure it's open but I bet I'll just look inside and find out for sure sometime. I'd hate to buy some VLSD if I already have one

alright sorry for lacking commas, lol, i ordered the motor, and rebuilt as soon i got it. Its got eagle rods and pistons w/ hks sleeves. went for the first start and it was running fine (at idle) took it to a shop in delaware for tuning but the timing tensioner went on it. pulled the head and checked internals...everything is ok. was just wondering what someone would pay for it.

[dickie]

if it needs a timing kit, maybe $250-500 for the long block? you have all receipts from the rebuild and everything is documented. the rest of the parts would sell separately faster, i think.
