OH my Fu#$%ng God this car is a Beast it pulls so hard I can't beleive the Tourque is unbelievable I started in first and punched it Part throttle and the wheels were already spinning and I couldn't hang on it was going right and left tourque steer like a **** I got scared and let off the throttle damn I don't wana abuse it to soon I'll just take it easy for now. There are no cel's and the car sounds fine except for a slight clanky noise comming from I think the Tranny but I can't tell I guess I have to be patient and just listen to the motor and make sure everything is intact. PICS VIDEOS COMMING SOON...

it looks beautiful, but if in the near future, or for that matter the distant future, you decide you want more power, the 00vi seems to flow better and give more power, i think.... i liked the vi much better than the mevi just wanted to throw that in there. but the mevi makes a h3ll of a difference over stock and its still amazing! i hope you enjoy!


btw, can i come live where its warm and there are palm trees? its cold as **** up here and not even any snow to play in.....

Well right now I'm just waking up from my nap. Now I'm going for a good nice long ride, I'll take some closer pics and Tomorrow I'll have the camcorder ready for action. BTW I notice my car sounds really deep now deeper then before, Tilley did you notice the different tone in your engine?

gtr_rider

iTrader: (50)

emmas97

i dont know about a deeper tone, but it screamed like h3ll at high rpm's, and then we put his 3" apexi on and now its just loud all around.... he can answer better for you lol all i care about is that its fast

TILLEYS99

iTrader: (4)

Still slow

vsamoylov

lol thats wrong. so you did the work tilley? if you dont mind me asking, what did the total come out to? plus did you get a tip? lol

japmaxSE

iTrader: (7)

Well I'm back from my little cruise and I got to say forget first gear second a little. Damn I didn't even punch it that much and I have 18" wheels.
I'm going to need some good tires for the track any suggestions??
The car rides very smooth no cels so far. I'll have the VI hooked up tomorrow.

Tilley do you think I should really punch it tomorrow and see whats up, being that this is the first day, or wait a little I'm tempted to really open it up WOT.
I'm very satisfied with it worth every penny to me, it brings me back when I had my 13sec 84AE 300zxTurbo.

japmaxSE

iTrader: (7)

Oh BTW I have no cat with ypipe 2.5" exhaust all the way back the car is burping POP POP every time I let off the throttle is this normal? this never happened before. When I let off on the expressway doing about 70mph POP POP all the time it's very loud!!!!! I think I need a resonator or something but I don't want to loose any hp's...

for the track you might want to try some M&H Racemasters.

I'm happy for ya! You've been waiting for so long. Congrats and I hope you'll take out some of us for a ride at the meet next month

iTrader: (22)

I thought resonators don't effect HP?

TILLEYS99

iTrader: (4)

it already broken in since it was a used motor so give all its got............

emmas97

when you say it pops, do you mean that it backfires? cause thats nothing serious, i always thought it was cool, especially in the se-r cause it would throw blue flames and it sounded like gunshots and drew a lot of attention

emmas97

im a good girlfriend lol of course he got a tip lol and i also cleaned his house! (cause it was messy and i couldnt take it)

japmaxSE

iTrader: (7)

Well I'm home from another run with the car and its official the tranny just took its last breath @140+K. I have slippage in 1st and 2nd, well it was fun while it lasted. Today I just purchased a 99' 5speed and now my next project will be to convert it.

emmas97

you are sure it isnt the clutch? or do you have an auto lol i dont know.... or did you call tilley today and talk to him about it? lol i am so out of it today. either way, get a good performance clutch. no centerforce dual friction: it wont hold (i learned by killing mine )

japmaxSE

iTrader: (7)

Yep it's an Auto it rides good for now as long as I don't punch it its fine. I need to baby it until I get everything I need for the conversion. I knew this was going to happen

gtr_rider

iTrader: (50)

ahhhh, my tranny is taking a dump too... dual 5spd swaps?

MyownNismo

iTrader: (13)

Which cams you using. Which cams would be better for 3.5 block with the 3.0 heads. I was going for the Tomei 256.

Any vids of the new setup?

japmaxSE

iTrader: (7)

No vids yet but I wish I got a vid of this guys expression in his 200? GT mustang from a dead stop I lit up my tires threw 2nd
I had a nose on him already then I had to let off due to traffic. After that he didn't want anymore of that... but I thought it would have been a good race anyways.... Then there was this 1G GST Eclipse I smoked him from a 30mph roll,,, him popping his blow off valve thought it would intimidate me, he guessed wrong..
Max 1 vs. Mitsu 0

I'm still scourging for parts for the 5speed conversion, I hope to have some vids but I’m having trouble with the camcorder software…

rastab97

yo japmax the ride is sweeeet. you need to drive it to texas and let me show you how to drive.

japmaxSE

iTrader: (7)

Ha ha holly s$%t I know who this is.... yo you cant hang with us,, you and your slow Mitsushi#ty better bow down boy or get stomped on lol....

liqidvenom

iTrader: (6)

did u use parts off of your old motor to make this swap happen?

japmaxSE

iTrader: (7)

I'm using 3.5 cams but tomei cams are even better considering if you take advantage of the ECU upgrade..

japmaxSE

iTrader: (7)

yeah i sure did that's why it's called a hybrid for the fact that I'm going with the raised comp,,, 3.0 heads, 3.5 cams & 3.5 bottom.

Larrio

iTrader: (10)

was the jwt spacer all that was required for the 3.5 cams to work in the 3.0 heads?

vq30max

so what would be better???? the tomei or the nismo cams???

Nealoc187

iTrader: (23)

Did you do any portwork to get the heads to flow better or are they stock?

japmaxSE

iTrader: (7)

I ported the heads & lower IM as much as I can..

japmaxSE

iTrader: (7)

you also need to drill a hole 180* from stock pin hole only on the intake cams..

TILLEYS99

iTrader: (4)

I wonder who can do that?????
