Thread: :( got skool'd

so holy hell i need exhaust big time! my buddy in his 92 se-r.. bone stock except hot shot wai, he pulled on me!! it was only a little an was in the top end range.. but man, that sux.. im runnin a hot gen gen 4 with a leak somewhere.. then i got a high flow cat with no res just a 2" pipe to where it bends under the back seat area.. then its bone stock.. poor ve is choking, think ima chill on havin fun till i get those leaks fixed an my 2.5 inch exhaust!! str8 embarassing tho since i been braggin it up lol.. im also switchin the cams at 4800.. is that too soon ya think?

the car runs good, runs smooth, pulls hard.. no glitches or bogging.. the idle stays around 1000 an the idle adjust knob is all the way tight.. gonna check my tps and the screw thing on the tb..

what ecu are you running? Your setup is hurting the performance and the leak in the header robs alot of power.

calum basic stock ve setup

How the hell could you posibly lose to a 140hp de??? When you have 190hp??? That really makes no sense whatsoever. I think something is definitely wrong bro.

uhhhh bone stock SE-R exhaust and a header leak.. she feels good.. vvl pops like it should.. no puttering, sputtering, nose diving, funny idle, nothin.. runs good feels good just has a header leak an tiny ass exhaust

I would not switch the cams above 4800 (assuming that you are using SR20VE cams). You might actually do better switching them a little lower.

Way back when I just had my Calum ecu, and 3inch exhaust with ssac header my buddy in his nx held me on the highway in 3rd with a little jump on me until I shifted into 4th then I started to pull away. You can imagine the grin on his face when we got back to the house....


Dudeman

i have had no issues with the DEers on this side of the fence....they usually make alot a noise but at the shift of second i see them running out a breathe...somethings wrong with ur car or driving......[ in no way am i tryin to be disrepectful]

My VE had a similar run-in when I installed it.

If your header isn't port matched and the exhaust is too small it chokes out. Also if you dyno-ed you could probably pop the cams as low as 4200 with that set-up (maybe).

Also if you come up against a strong DE motor that is set up right... basically your VE is only a DE with some headwork, high comp pistons and a set of S3s. If its not tuned and set up those 47 extra ponies are wasted. Even if you have a bad alignment/suspension versus them it hurts. Thats NA tuning for you.

yes theres something wrong i agree..



ya dude, i got some work to do..
