ur missing an ls1 in there ;)

[waynehead05]

catch can, and brake master shield are the two I can think of right now. Also gauges.

take pics as you go along!!!!!!

[Fonix36]

small Buddy club battery

instead of that its cheaper and cleaner to relocate the battery to the trunk

you also may want to replace your head gasket

I was going to relocate but I bought the battery already, plus i "did" find a buyer for my redtop optima, but flakers as usual, its koo tho...

head gasket.. What else you guys think, somebody told me to get a z32 fuel filter but I don't see any real benefit of actually changing it. I changed it out few months back already.

thanks for the replies

z32 fuel filter alows more fuel to pass through the filter at one time letting you get more feul into your car, so for this thats a good idea, did you look into internal work?

[Kaizen.]

No not yet....

Ok just did some searching at 7am cuz i cant sleep.

Wheres the best location for the BOV?! Hotside or coldside?! I read like ten different threads about it and everyone has their own oppinion. Theres no majority either, its like half goes for hot and half goes for cold. I kno the s13 is on hot and the s14 stock is on cold, so what is it?! Whats better?! does it even matter?! Am I even going to sleep?!

I have;

4 x 370cc injectors
1 x KA24DET downpipe made specifically for a KA24DE with T25 that is bottom mounted
1 x ACT 6 puck cluth with Heavy duty pressure plate used but still has life.
1x Z32 MAF w/pigtail

$540 shipped for it all

i put mine on my cold pipe just a few inches from the throttle body. Problem i see now is that I want to do a blow-through setup and the location of the BOV doesnt make too much since for that right now. I still might do it though just to clean up the intake side of the turbo and prevent any issues with turbulent air. GL, mine has been an onging PITA for the past couple years ;)

This is actually a great 240 myth. The only benefit to getting a 300ZX filter is that it's a couple bucks cheaper at most places. The reason why guys think it flows more fuel is because it's a bigger filter. But the size of the filter means nothing when the inlet and outlet are the exact same size of the 240sx filters. Therefore, the filter flow is unchanged when compared to a 240 filter. This filter prolly has a little better filter capabilites, which is to say that it might last longer in between changes or keep a little more of the deposits out of your fuel system. But then again that really depends on the QUALITY of the filter not the size.

Really, the two keys for increasing your fuel flow are upgrading your pump and FPR from stock.

but the fact that the filter holds more fuel mean it will build up more pressure inside the filter causing an increase in fuel released to the injector.
