Thread: turbo set ups (post pics )

very nice, post times when you do!
What gear oil are you running in the 200sx?

im running right now bg syncro shift 75/80 with friction modifier. I dont remember what i had in it before, I will run this fluid also when I drag it we will see what happens..... :/

will do on time slip i have always wondered my wife has told me on several occasions to run it at the track. She also said that she would have a better reaction time :} I dont think so.

I know some 30 series transmissions have held up under big power builds 400+ hp with the valvoline 85/140. My bro recently switched to it as well, it is a lot thicker than any gear oil I've used before. Let me know how the bg works for you.

haha, sounds like smack talking! I know my reaction time completely sucks. but the track is a much better indicator of how the whole car is performing together.

I thought of running 85/140 bg also makes it and I have it available to me at the shop. Maybe I will switch it before I run it at the track. Yeah she is smack talking always has but in her defense she can drive I used to make fun of her and tell her she was granny shifting the 200sx and she got a speeding ticket one night proving me wrong (I was in the passenger seat holding on for dear life) we both lost on that deal it cost me for the smack talking I was giving her LOL. But that was a long time ago.

85w140, The secret ingredient to get a b13/b14 trans to hold over 400+whp for a hell of a lot longer. Put it this way, I have yet to break a trans using it. Put over 9k miles on the b13 trans using it, 430whp daily, 490whp on 24 lbs, and well over 500whp on 30 lbs of boost on weekends and at the strip. All day long. Twin disk clutch as well. Before that using 3 different 75w90 oils, I went through 3 stacks in 3 months after going to the twin disk clutch.

Good info I will switch to 85w140 tomorrow good to know, I am glad I joined this forum I have been lurking for a week ninja style .

Yeah, I was one of the first on here to really start using it. At least the first one to post that I was using it with great success. I got a lot of people on here to switch to it. People that had been breaking trans after trans and so far everyone that Ive gotten to switch has yet to break a trans. So I think it goes to tell you something. Its like the magic juice for our trannies. lol. I use it in my 6 speed trans now and havent had any problems.

is there a specific brand of 85w140 you use?

Valvoline conventional is what I was using. Im going to switch to the Durablend though just to have a synthetic back in there but should still do the exact same job as the conventional oil as they have the same shock absorbing properties.

Thanks for the good info, I hope you hit your power goals, you have an awesome build going on.
