HAHA, well "complete ****ing moron " (you said it, not me), if you actually read the previous posts, you will realize that we were answering technical questions. But its almost as if you did not even take a look at them, since you seemed to dismiss the information as unimportant. I did not just spit out facts and numbers for my own health. Yes, I am quite sure I know more than you, this is why I was giving you the facts, but you kept throwing them back in my face as if you already knew everything.
First off turbocharged cars do not use headers. Secondly, CAI? on a turbocharged car the air is heated up quite a bit when it runs through the compressor side of the turbo. This is why we have intercoolers. So even if you pump in cold air, its still hot as hell when it goes through the turbo.Third, an intercooler is absolutely necessary if you want to achieve 300 rwhp. Running the T28 at 18 psi with the stock sidemount IC is asking for failure somewhere along the line. Fourth, I still have no idea what your fetish with the 6 speed is.Fifth, just because on the heavy throttle website it says you can reach 300 rwhp doesnt mean you should just install the stock engine and crank up the boost, you might want to do a couple of precautionary mods like a headgasket or a fuel pump. No point in blowing the engine rather than being safe.If I had $20000 to build a 240SX I would by an S13 SR everyday of the week. It can just take more for less money. If I blow one up, oh well, replace the block for $1000. If you blow up an S15 then chances are you will spend another $5500 for a whole new engine set.Finally, remember, just because the S15 SR20DET is rated at 250hp, that is not at the wheels, its probably closer to 220 hp to the wheels. And definately take a look at what ItzGenX wrote up there, people often pass that info about VVT and torque up, thinking they know what he is saying when they really dont.
im spent, im going to bed
