Idaho Tuner's 240/|SR Build thread

[bgsr240]

iirc, the engine was running in teh car before he pulled it. true if hes swapping i wouldnt mess w/ anything at first. but if it was running when he pulle dit it shoudl run when it goes back in

Oh, I didnt know that lol.

[idahotuner]

aw so it isnt anythign to worry abut huh. cuase once it gets up to opperating temps it levels out. i do know it was running a little rich but i a mgettign atun so that should take care of it.

[idahotuner]

Oh, I didnt know that lol.

lol it is fine. i never said anything about it, but it did run great even at 14psi. oh boy. imagine 22 psi on a gt2871r .86 crazy

[White Comet]

Oh, I didnt know that lol.

care to elaborate, if his wiring was fine when the engine was pulled why woudl it be bad going back in?

[bgsr240]

Well to be honest I'm probably going to end up with the gt2871r .64 AR because it cost less, less lag, etc. I could almost do a valvetrain upgrade with the money I would save over the gt30r.

Yeah but you have to admit about the gt30r. Just watch.http://youtube.com/watch?v=dDtI7UY0-pM

care to elaborate, if his wiring was fine when the engine was pulled why woudl it be bad going back in?

What I meant was that I didnt know that the engine was already in the car and running before he started the build. You are right if it ran before then it should run after lol. Sorry, I wasn't trying to say anything by it.

[White Comet]

ok got ya, i was trying to give u crap, either i just didnt know if it was something i missed

[idahotuner]

Well to be honest I'm probably going to end up with the gt2871r .64 AR because it cost less, less lag, etc. I could almost do a valvetrain upgrade with the money I would save over the gt30r.

last time i check they cost the same.

and true yo uget more torque with the .64 but i will do more street driving and drag racing. so i am willing to give up a little bit of torque for my high end hp

[bgsr240]

Ok. That's kinda what I thought...

[White Comet]

yeah there the same but the .86 has too high of a power band for my liking

[bgsr240]

last time i check they cost the same.

HAHA... this is awesome. Again I am comparing the gt2871r to gt3071r.

I believe that the difference between them is something like $300 depending upon where you buy from.

[idahotuner]

opps my bad,

yeah there the same but the .86 has too high of a power band for my liking

well i am going with it for to reasons. more traction on the launch and better gas milage, since it has a longer spool thne if you dot rev as high you wil lget better gas miisalge casue the turbo wont be kicking in as soon.

and i want it to feel lieka NA an then have the turbo kick in

[White Comet]

it'll be pretty much too much lag for street imo and after talking to ilikemy240sx i feel it wont really be in the power ban til close to redline, unless u use solid lifters to be able to rev higher, the .86 isnt worth it

[bgsr240]

Not to jack your thread but I would like to know your guys opinions.

If I want to run 272 cams but run the stock T28 and rev limiter until I can upgrade everything else it isnt going to make the car any slower than stock right? I know those are huge cams for a mild build, but I want the sound and the lope. Yes dumb question but please dont burn me lol.

[idahotuner]

those cams are to agressivego with some 256 or 264therrer isa cam shaft mega thread i would suggest reading through it

he ywhite comet check out this were i decided ot get an .86 over the .64

zer...age=1

[White Comet]

i'll check that thread out, but those cams woudl be fine as long as u upgrade a turbo eventually. theres no sense in buy cams and then doing it again

[idahotuner]

yea i got 264 cams. when my set up is done i wont be upgrading. i think 400 is more thne enough power outta the sr. ifi wanted more i would started with a differetn engine. lol

[bgsr240]

theres no sense in buy cams and then doing it again

That's kinda what I thought, but I wanted someone else's opinion. Also forgot to say that new springs and retainers would be installed with the cams.

therrer isa cam shaft mega thread i would suggest reading through it

Yeah I did, but it didnt really answer my question...

[White Comet]

u'll be fine w/ the 272 cams on a stock turbo, u just wont be able to use theyre whole power band, it wouldnt hurt anything it just wont feel as powerful til coupled w/ an upgraded turbo

[idahotuner]

Also forgot to say that new springs and retainers would be installed with the cams.

retainers arnt a huge deal, and only allow for small gains in the rpms, but springs area must.

i have BC 264 cams and Bc springs along With new valve seals in my head.

soemthing else you want ot reallize is the cams are dirrectly realated to the turbo. becasue you dont want cams that have a good power band in one area and a turbo that has it in another. so pick the turbo then pick cams.

[White Comet]

^ yeah but he saying he wants to install the cams now and he knows what turbo he wants. those cams woudl work well w/ the turbo he's selected. the cams will not match teh power band of the stock turbo obviously but when he gets the turbo, he'll be set. the car will have a lumpier idle and a power band that isnt ideal on the stock turbo but once upgraded it doesnt matter. theres no sense in throwing in smaller cams now and shelling out the money for bigger cams later. just buy cams once and it'll be fien

[idahotuner]

yea i got my cams before i got my turbo, and i still have to order my turbo. cant wait for the turbo. the first start up will be videos taped it will be awesome.

[White Comet]

im doing all my work w/o pulling the engine out

[duffman1278]

Wait, so you got your cams in already?

[idahotuner]

you asking me duffman.

whitecomet it is alot easier to do work with the motor out.

[duffman1278]

Yea lol

[idahotuner]

yea my cams are installed and my valve springs my engine is done being apart. i jsut need my gaugesa nd lcutch installed and i cna put it back in the car

[2LO4URHO]

You are correctomundo, it's way easier to do it with engine out. Not unless it's your daily and u don't have time to take it out then you will not be correctomundo. Anyway with engine being out opens more oppurtunities to give the engine and bay a good close up inspection and clean/paint while you're at it. Is a WIn Win

[Brock sr20det]

Hey idaho tuner... im actually from boise idaho, but anyways i was just wondering where you got your valve seals? I was just wondering if their is a website that sells them... the guys at the nissan dealership here dont exactly go out of their way to help me...

[idahotuner]

my engine bay has a fresh coat of black paint. and i painted otehr stuff clean al lthe grim out and everything, them otor is clean . it will look so nice with the motor back in it.
