NO

they do not provide a rrpfr.

Yeah.  I didn't know the specifics on what they gave, but I knew that it wasn't a JWT ecu anymore.

Stainless not the optimal metal? There may be better metals out there like 240Racer stated (btw, thanks for that website..cool stuff), but at what cost? If you think cast iron would be a better choice you're badly mistaken...I've talked to too many people who have had the RevHard manifold crack (in more than one place). Also, yes Stainless does expand, but it is somewhat flexible and does not easily crack, unlike cast iron...just adjust for that in the design. Also, Stainless is LOW in thermal conductivity...meaning it doesn't absorb heat as easily as some metals.

You guys are on here taking shortcuts in all the wrong places...(mainly engine management...you'd have to be retarded to choose the JWT ECU over a standalone) and you criticize stainless steel as the manifold metal? COME ON!!!

Ok guy.  I gave the source of the info, and the fact that I didn't pay much attention to it, so I wasn't sure, but if someone wanted to find out more, there was a lead.  I never said cast iron was better, and I don't know what it, but...
Then, the RH manifold was redesigned to prevent cracking.
Finally, the "you'd have to be retarded..." comment.  Mabey, or just broke.  Don't be an ass.

sorry dude. but not everyone can afford a standalone.
plus it is the installation and tuning the requires alot of money also. not everyone knows how to tune it. my first time tuning a haltech was in a supra. i learned from someone helping me. Now i can do it almost blindfolded. but still, it is not a walk in the park.

Kreator · 10-31-2002, 10:31 AM

Blah. I can't even afford the JWT as of right now...  <img src="#/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/cry.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='

Hey man if you are serious about the F-MAX kit, call up my buddy Nate Weeber, he is the largest F-MAX distributer in the country, and he will be able to answer all of you're questions, and pro's and cons on each kit in a profesional manner, I am sure he would love to talk to you or anyone else that needs advice!!! His number is 1-717-269-1160 LEAVE A MESSAGE if he doesn't answer. This guy is really cool. Give him a try...He has a 200sx that is now on on of the nissan magazine sites, I don't know which one, but he is putting down some serious power with his sr20de!!!! <img src="#/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/devil.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':devil:'>

95Blue240sx · 02-10-2003, 01:27 AM

well i just had a couple questions. im leaning more to the way of the nsprt kit. but in the ways of fuel management what exactly does the JWT ecu do? if i got lower comp pistons with new injectors(~350cc) what kinda boost could i run? would i need forged crank and rods too? why doesnt anyone run a VPC instead of a MAF? i know i had more questions but im still going through tall the search results. thanks.

95Blue240sx · 02-10-2003, 11:51 AM

what about install? does it come complete with instructions and stuff? if i needed help, like with oil lines and such would you guys know? im sure you would, but just making sure.

viCeVerSa · 02-10-2003, 03:48 PM

hmmmmmmmmmmmm

nissandrifter · 02-10-2003, 04:49 PM

Damn thats too much money just for a turbo KA kit. Just build your own turbo kit from junkyard parts, or get a RB25DET for like the same price that those companies are asking for their turbo kits.

95Blue240sx · 02-11-2003, 12:43 AM

well im not planning on going in a straight line. i want to use the stock motor and want to be able to get the parts asap without waiting. and right now a kit seems the best way.

can someone answer those questions for me? jeff i know you pretty logical on this kind of stuff. thanks.
