Well, after my crappy dyno today, i have been seriously contemplating some new fuel system work. I dont think there are any FPR's available or slight larger injectors....

before i dump a couple thou' on a S/C, i want to experiment with some low cost mods... any suggestions? i feel like i have done everything there is for the 3G

e-shift, CT exh, aem cai, ur ultra sc..... what else can i do ???? would an intake manifold bore or polish do anything? tranny cooler??

 

also TB spacers

 

i think you got all the cheap ones..now you gotta go for the expensive ones

 

See the "Putting the TL on a diet" thread. It won't increase your HP but might shave a tenth of a second or two off your 0-60 time.

 

1) where'd you take it to get it dyno'd?
2) yea, dropping a couple of thousands is a huge deal for a few ponies....honestly you have to ask yourself if it's the number or the feel that has you the most caught up.
i.e.) you drive a 5AT, it's not like you're getting the joys of shifting thru each gear, and it's not like you actually have control over your shifting... so i guess i'm trying to say is, are you happy with the way your car accels/drives now? cuz then i would really just stop modding this car.... with all the money you're thinking about putting into the TL, unless you are driving at like 3AM on the LIE or Grand Central, all that speed is for bragging rights, and i mean...seriously, you're trying to give props to your daily car. ~ NOT that i am saying that is wrong, but i mean, for the original reason you bought a 5AT, this is your daily car going from point A to B....

so if it's the performance you are craving i would hold off, i'm sure a turbo solution is around the corner, the 3G TL has been around too long and too many ppl have been tinkering for it not to come out soon. ~
--- if it is the numbers, well then i guess your next option really is to go with the s/c.... but understand, our cars are not like the (VQ35DE's ..my old car) this car is considered a mid-luxury family sedan.... hence the limited amount of product around for mods anyway.


on a side note,
1) get lighter wheels...they actually make a pretty big difference in feel of the car
2) you can get a small NOS kit, but i mean, if you're not gonna reinforce the build of your engine, you're probably killing your engine.....but if all you care about is the numbers atm, then fuck the longevity and grab the NOS


3) save money and get a toy car like the Exige if you really want the numbers....OR be like me and just wait for the Nissan GTR to come out...(god, it's about time)

 

Don't bother with the fuel system. It is fine and you will not gain power from altering the fuel system. The ECU will just adjust whatever you change back to what it wants. Besides adding fuel decreases HP. If you want more HP the next step is the Supercharger kit.

 

my AFR was constantly at about 15 when i dynoed... i have seen other peoples charts showing 13's..... which is better for N/A ?

 

Port & Polish and custom cams Maybe the Type-S cams?

 

Upgrading your fuel system will do NOTHING. The stock fuel system flow more then enough even if you have a supercharger. If you want to tune your A/F, you should try hooking up a E-manage or V-AFC.

 

can i hook one of those up??? i didnt think it was possible w/ our ECU's

 

i know, i know...


but i lost a couple g's in atlantic city last week, so it kind of hurt the wallet. i had to push my rotora's off for like 2 more weeks....

BTW, have you dynoed yet?? curious to what you put down and if the TL-S cams and P&P really helped.... u also have the beta ECU ?? must be niiiiceeeee to live in Cali.

 

Josh, arent you close with the guys @ UR? Maybe some R&D for those cams or cam gears that were talked about a few weeks ago. i am in!!

 

ohh a fellow poker player! going out to the world series...i might next week...dyno in a couple weeks!

 

nah. it was the blackjack that killed me... ya cant play poker when you've got your girlfriend with ya.... lol
