Thread: few questions

ok guys I have a few questions that I couldn't find through the threads in here..and yes I may have over looked it, but I did try ,.



1st question,, how often should you change your oil after spraying?

2nd question, did find this one but still want to ask, I was told the B15 oem clutch would handle 240hp, is it enough clutch for a 75 shot/stock motor full bolt on's (sr20de) realistically because I think I've either have tire spin or clutch slip ,. ?

(source on hp CarQuest) ,,,, << will never do again, (it was a fix now situation/only thing at hands reach)


this JDM motor has been temper mental<(lol) every since I got it, runs smooth, runs strong, has time to time high idle (1,400/1,600)but mostly it's fine, starts up great , warms up great ... totally acts like a teenager during the day! this motor has been a question in itself. very well documented, and a great learning experience being a JDM swap, its been GREAT... but

during acceleration this sr20 stands up and goes but when I approach 6,500 rpms it changes tones / sorta sounds like a VVL but not exactly , ok maybe this will be better, it sounds like it just opened a window and NOW we can breathe and man does it take off then,, but at the same time I shift at 6,000 anyway (seems to pull harder right there) so the extra sound and feeling is a surprise when I decide to stretch the gear out a bit more then usual ,, all this is without spray even being involved,,,

I've only sprayed a few times ,, just learning as I go. VERY addictive LOL..

3rd question ,, what could be the reason for the extra feeling/sound and should it be a concern?




any thoughts you may have will be appreciated,,

1) i changed mine after a hard day at the 1/4mile, i got 20 run on my 75 shot. But i would just change it at 3000km cuz i used it alot last summer.
2) b15 clutches are good to about 220whp thats when mine started to slip. get a good act heavy duty.
3) what ur hearing if i think its right, its the powerband.
My Questions
4) what u using for monitoring a/f ratio...?
5) what system u using.

ok cool on the oil,, I'll just change it when needed,, I use a good oil anyway and I'm not spraying like most,,,, lol.. I was told that it was good to change your oil everytime you spray,, kinda thought that was a bit odd , but wanted to ask someone else. thanks

B15 clutch will have to do for now,, broke joke here!

if this is the powerband where was it in my last sr20de? this motor definitely feels tighter than the other motor with higher miles. just wondering.


a/f , not use anything yet,, plans are to get one as well as the little goodies like , purge kit,warmer,blanket.. don't plan on spraying again untill then..

I'm using the Zex dry shot with the wot smart box
