Hi 24 Hr Lemons 1991 se-r new guy
my name is jeff and i live in los angeles and i race a 91 se-r in 24hr lemons with my brothers and cousin. i'm a desert racer so this is new to me. this is our first season and we've broke every race so i'm obviously obsessed with this nissan world which i knew and know nothing about. we just installed out 3rd motor, the first one over heated and stuck a piston so bad the rod bent and broke thru the case at buttonwillow, the second motor i think got over-revved - grabbed 2nd instead of 4th at the ridge in washington. whoops.
so another junkyard motor is in the car, valves look like they have psoriasis thru the intake but it seems to run good, fyi the only knowledge i have about these cars is what i've learned so far by screwing up.
we did open up the stock airbox a bit and built an exhaust from the stock headers back but i'm wondering if its too rich or too lean and if the computer will adjust the tune for a small amount of tweaking?
also we left the emissions/egr/smog stuff on the car besides the cat which was removed, it seems to run good like this, should we remove some of it? all of it?
there is another se-r team who is super rad and they work for carbotec brakes i think, they're car is painted like the american flag, they had installed a bigger radiator out of an evo 8 i believe and we did the same after we grenaded out motor the first time, i'm wondering if its a good idea to run the nismo 1.3 bar radiator cap and if my black auto zone hoses will be able to hold the pressure...
and the last thing, sorry, i have a 22 gallon atl fuel cell that we are thinking about installing in place of the stock gas tank because it seems like we have to re-fuel every hour and a half. i'm wondering if anyone has installed a fuel cell in a b13 with a sr20de and where they mounted it, and most important what fuel pump did they run? i've heard that 3bar is stock fuel pressure, so with a fuel pressure regulator and a 3-5 bar pump will we be ok?
thanks!!
