I am about to remov my dumpvalve cause it's leaking air and therefore the car is overfuelling. The car splutters on a low rev. Would it safe to drive without the DV as I will fit a straight piping in it's place.

Dumpvalve vs Wastegate

What is recommended on these cars? According to explainations I have seen, the Wastegate is used for high boost and assist in regulating the air and therefore stabilising boost. Where as the dump valve is basically use to dispatch excess air when the throttle body closes and prevent the air back tow...

I guess this will be a long weekend for me. The fuel is fine cause when I check the plugs you can see that its covered with fuel. I need to now check the airflow meter. How the hell am I gonna do that? I am in Cape Town guys. Here people don't sell cars with manuals in it. They use it to start the f...

SPARK but no fire

After all the problems I have been having with my car I am thinking of retiring soon form the 200SX clans. My current problem is that I have sorted out the wiring which runs from and to the ignitor unit situated on the inner side of the strut. (Don't know what they call the thing.) Some wiring got b...

hey Fsnijman Don't let me fly to Centurion to put my 20inches in your exhaust pipe. I am just concerned about the sound of the car. I don't want my car sounding like a Datsun at the end of the day. I think I'll try the 63mm cause I ain't going bigger on the turbo. Can't go boosting 2bar and pushing ...

Exhaust Systems

What is the perfect specs for a exhaust system? I am currently still running with a standard system so I can start with planning for a new one. I know the Turbo Golf's run 76mm, so what would be perfect for the SX.
(AND YES I SAID THE WORD GOLF ON A NISSAN FORUM.)

Utost respect there Jay boy. I remove mine two weeks back but fortunately I had friends to assist and we had the car on a lift. That box has a havy weight. Two spoons of USN Phedrocut powder mixed in a 500ml water and you should have any problems getting the box back in. Just a suggestion from my si...

The first problem I found was on the vacuum pipe from the turbo to the vacuum advance. I fitted a boost tap in order to control the boost or restrict it to 0.5 bar. After I changed that the car drove better but not completely right. Afterwards I noticed that the #1 coil pack was throwing spark. Chan...

Breaking down

Guys I need your help. My car is breaking down in Boost. If I drive it and gradually accelerate then the car goes better but also break down eventually. But If I accelerate putting immediate load then as soon as I hit boost at 0.5 bar then the car breaks down badly. Any ideas? Anyone had similar pro...
