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

[PapaSmurf2k3]

can a carb and choke cleaner be sprayed in turbo inlet ?

It won't hurt anything that I can think of... but why?

Be aware you should disconnect any piping on it so as to not damage a mass airflow sensor.

like how its sprayed into a throttle body (intake plenum) to eat heavy dirt and gum out.similarly i am hoping it will work in the turbo ! correct me if i am wrong please.

i dont want to open the whole assembly,suggest me some good aerosol product made for this purpose or i can use any other stuff like brake cleaner or carb cleaner (while the engine is running)

what lines i need to disconnect before doing so !

[soultron]

I wasn't sure where to ask, but here's a good one. The guys doing my s14 subframe bushing cut too much out, so now the metal "cup" is gone. Where do I get factory style rubbers to cut up? Or is this even a good idea? I thought about tracking down another subframe...Any suggestions?

Don't do it while its running... you need to disconnect the big pipes going into and coming out of your turbo... these are the air hoses. If you don't disconnect them, you'll booger up your mass airflow sensor as well as your intercooler, and eventually all the s*** that you cleaned off your turbo will make its way to the blow off valve and throttle body...

Looking to go KA-T, doing a lot of research on the JGS turbo kit and have come across some questions. FMIC=Front mount intercooler, the intercooler piping comes directly from the turbo on the right side of the motor, where does it go on the left side of the motor? What's Turbo Cement? I understand how the Greddy E-manage is a piggyback system it helps modify fuel injection and spark etc..., right? and this can all be programmed through a computer?

[PapaSmurf2k3]

the piping from the left side goes to your throttle body, thus completing the charged system.Never heard of turbo cement...and yes, the E-manage can alter (to a point) your fuel injector pulse, as well as your timing map... programmable through a computer with the special software.

Took this pic from the tech article on installing oil pressure sending units. Mine didn't come with this little adaptor in the picture was wondering where i might source one of those so i can install mine.

You could try http://www.cheapturbolines.com or check out some of the NICO sponsors.

Try that.

You are going to have to drop your gas tank straps, and probably your fuel filler neck.

That is probably the must helpful link I have ever found, Thank You!

Do you need to replace the stock throttle body to run intercooler piping?

Nope

noob question, how well do OBX headers fit for a single cam? From what Ive heard and search they dont fit exactly right, but it would work. I just want to make sure before I buy them.

btw I found this thread with alot of noob info regarding ebay headers, I guess it can be added to the stickies

can you take a SOHC bottom end and stick a DOHC head on it and have it work as a DOHC?

[OutToWinPAHC]

I dont know, but you can use SOHC rods and pistons in a DE engine for a higher comp ratio.

[StylesCD]

high

I dont know, but you can use SOHC rods and pistons in a DE engine for a higher comp ratio.

er comp means you need higher octane when running a turbo, which in my case is bad because i want it to run on pump

so you're saying id be better off purchasing a DE to turn into a DET rather than Frankenstein my E into a DET

Yeah, your front lower and upper timing covers wouldn't match up... you'd piss oil everywhere.. that is, if you could get it to bolt up in the first place.

will any of the coupe overfenders fit on a convertible... especially the rear ones?

Okay so im in the process of doing my sr swap but this is a super noob question so i didnt want to make a thread for it and i tried searcjing but i don't know what any of this crap is even called. So i took off the exhaust manifold cause i got a new one to go onto it. No biggie, but i had to take two things off of the top of the engine that now have no room to be reinstalled and im wondering what they are and if i need them/how+where to relocate them.Is this my Air intake valve? If so, does that mean i don't need it? Cause i bought a AIV plug from enjuku cause the swap guide i have said i needed one )=.And i have no clue what this one is, something relating to the oil cause its the black box that has a hose coming right off of the valve cover. It doesn't look like it should be deleted either way. Where does it go now do i need more parts/brackets?And as you can see in this last pic, the most recent, my new manifold doesn't leave room for number one or number two to be reinstalled, just wondering what everyone did cause im dumb. Thanks..

Hey everyone I was wondering if anyone has ever dealt with RPMMachine.com and bought their rebuild kits? Also Im looking to rebuild my KA and was wondering if I should just get the basic rebuild kit and save the rest of the money for a cheap turbo setup or do I need to spend 1600 on a rebuild if I dont want to destroy anything? Thanks again

[PapaSmurf2k3]

that depends on how much power you are shooting for. Get the ARP hardware, and forged pistons if you plan on going turbo. If you plan on staying under 350rwhp, you can use your stock rods. This is also a good time to do your timing chain.

hey I'm new here and I guess this is where I introduce myself. I'm from Morrison Tn I drive a 95 240sx and My project car is a 88 200sx coupe I have owned 3 s13 and I also own a 87 Toyota Supra turbo and a 04 Mazda Miata. I'm a drifter and a autocrosser I built not buy my cars. Here are some pics of my cars.my s14my last s13my s12 project car(yes I know the wing is gay)

[DRIFTKNIGHT_240]

ok is 5-speed kade , inside the car where the shift boot is, there is a white smoke coming out of the boot is that bad? and wat might cause that ?

[OutToWinPAHC]

too low on gear oil, too high, water in the oil? Take boot off and check.

Post this in Gen Chat Welcome to NICO by the way. I'm sure you'll enjoy it here.

Ok, im new to 240's, and i dont actually have one yet. I had a z32 na but i wrecked it due to some assf***s wreckless driving, so now im saving (work $ + z32 part out $) for a 240. I was just wondering how much a basic kat setup will run you, the setup and supporting mods so the car will be ready to go. This is assuming your starting with an engine in near perfect stock condition, i've already read about checking compression or rebuilding if you had too. Thanks a lot guys, i should be buying a 240 around the new year.

[DRIFTKNIGHT_240]

thanks

[DRIFTKNIGHT_240]

can u tell me wat kind of gear oil can i use to change it?

also my car when am in 2nd gear and i go at 6K rpm it won't go in 3rd gear can low oil cause that?

I am still on the fence whether to rebuild my ka or swap to an sr. If I did swap to an SR I would want a s13 sr. I was wondering if nico has dealers for full swaps and how I could get some more info. I would prefer to go through nico and I can't find anything so any push in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.
