my 240sx ford 302 engine changes (lots of pics)

V8 240sx? Sure! If either the chassis OR the engine is non-Nissan (i.e. SR20 in an RX-7 or LS1 in a 240sx), we've done it.

You must know quite a bit about electronics, not sure I would tear them apart like that, too afraid too make a mistake and destroy an investment. I'm not usually a downer, but you could have saved a lot of time by saving and doing it all at once, but you obviously have lots of time to tear down and rebuild multiple times so all and all its not that bad. Keep up the good work. DIY rules.

wideband seems to be reading wrong. car went to lean at wot but car stills pull hard and no knocks.

it reads good 11afr and then it goes to 19afr. i test car at least 8 times.

this are old videos...

in this videos, cars lost power at lean condition.

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RwoNxK6jE_k[/youtube]


so never put a turbo on a holley tbi. its hard and maybe tbi isnt really well for 350hps or more. inside line fuel into tbi its very small so it can lean your afr. i put a fuel gauge but it didnt show this problem. i didnt take pictures of inside tbi fuel lines.


i will put pictures of a solution i found on net.

so here are the new videos. car seems to run very fine. its strong but dont kick hard as when it was NA.

car is on 4psi of boost. ignition timming start at 26° and a max timming of 34° at wot past 4000 rpm.


friend's car is a tsuru gsr 2000(sentra b13 se-r usa.) it runs los 15s NA without nitrous. car has a nitrous 125 shot.

Finally i put 2 bar map sensor. i will switch from 4 psi to 8psi soon. i did a little map tuning and it is rich but safe and can move without problems.

this is my homemade wideband gauge. 6 samples per second for easy visual reading. it can work 20 or more samples per second but turns hard to see. i put some leds under display so you can floor gas and if you see green light all its fine. green light is for afr from 10.0 to 11.9
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EZBLpw9S4Jw[/youtube]

i put some better fenders and i will switch for better hood too.
side skirts are there too.

engine temp rise from 175 to 185 and sometimes it went to 200 on highway. so i cut bumber.

there is no time for a good paint job. i will paint with a cheap paint and make it one color. 15usd for 4 liters of paint and 4 liters of thinner. it will be white again.

yea. white color will be great. problem is i dont have a garage to do the bodywork and then paint. i have a lot of flatblack paint but temperature is to high outside and black isnt a good color for this time.
