grayfox2 Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 I'm so upset. I pulled up next to some cuties in a new Sentra 2.0S. Thinking I was cool, excuse the ricer moment, I revved my engine and slammed the gas to keep up with them and attempt to get a better look. Yeah, needless to say I failed at keeping up with a 2.0L I-4 in my Pathfinder. Time to make some money so I can start keeping up lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jj big shoe Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 Just roll up and cave her door in with your bumper next time. That way you'll get to chat with her for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MY1PATH Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 or stay tuned for my upcoming cam install and maybe you will try one too! (feels like its taking forever to get it done) JJ your truck feels pretty good don't it? I mean its not a sports car but a newer engine with decent regrind cam I'm sure its got more pep than most pathys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jj big shoe Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 Hard to say actually but I was expecting more after all that work. My old roommate had a stock 95 auto and I seem to remember it having a bit more pep. Then again, he had stock rims and tires with no lift and drove it like a Corvette. I think I'm going to try porting the intake manifold as well and play with the timing a little to see what happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I think I'm gonna be getting a Mazdaspeed6 this summer, so I'll more than likely be able to keep up with a Sentra or a Geo Prizm. If even just barely. =P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverton Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 If you couldn't keep up with N/A cars in a boosted one, you'll need to reevaluate some things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Precise1 Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 I know someone with a Mazda speed. I told him to quit with the mods and save up for a real car, or at least one worth modding... B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO Porting will slow you down because tho you can fit more air thru a port it will be @ a lower velocity. Moto Mans articles ar quite contravsial but in the case of small engines, I belive what he says about intake shaping... http://mototuneusa.com/think_fast_intake_porting.htm http://mototuneusa.com/homework.htm http://mototuneusa.com/the_2007_superbike.htm http://mototuneusa.com/super_sonic_nozzle.htm The first 2 articles cover the concept pretty good and the last 2 just go even more in depth with the "porting actions" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jj big shoe Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 I thought it might have an adverse effect as well. That's why I was going to nab a 2nd manifold to play with. If it all goes tits up, I'll slap my original back on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moto Mans articles ar quite contravsial but in the case of small engines, I belive what he says about intake shaping... While that's true, the air also flows with less restriction, making it easier for the engine to pull in air to the cylinders. So air velocity doesn't necessarily slow down until you reach some other restriction (intake, exhaust, cam, etc). This is one thing I didn't see him address on his website but I only took a quick look. Either way, I say go for it there's always stuff to port and polish out on high-production manifolds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
