you aren't a sellout if you're the one who has pioneered (in this aspect) a turbo kit for the spec v

Big thanks to Z1 Motorsports for staying late and letting us use their press to press the gears off the tranmission main shaft so we can rock a 3.8 final drive from a 2002-2003 Maxima

some gear/mph numbers to look at w/ the 3.8 final drive and a 7500rpm redline

1st Gear 46.56 MPH
2nd Gear 75.61 MPH
3rd Gear 105.52 MPH
4th Gear 138.37 MPH
5th Gear 181.08 MPH
6th Gear 218.92 MPH

If you want a bit more info, pick up the Summer issue of Nissan Sport Magazine when it hits the shelf in July (shameless plug)

When does this uprev company expect to be able to do something with our ECU's?? I was fixin' to look into a greddy or aem piggyback to work with my ignition timing and fuel maps, but I guess I should just hold off. You haven't heard of anyone having trouble with those synapse parts?? They look nice, but I had heard some negative reviews on them. Looks like things are coming along really well for you man. Glad to see that.

Why would you need a 6th gear to hit 200mph?? BTW the build looks great.

That is a fantastic piece of work.

Looks like a solid design.

3.8 final seem a little high. Why didnt you keep the stock final drive?

Make me one of those alternator relocate brackets...You have to run a different belt??

it was never intended to be an FI car so the gearing was designed to really provide mechanical advantage........ in a motor that already makes good TQ............................ plus I can show off the wrenching skills. If it doesn't work out, the 2002 Spec V has a 4.429 ratio we can pirate if we need to go the other way.

Big J

you have to lose the A/C and run an idler pulley where the alternator used to be.......... it's too damn hot in Ga to lose the AC............... Mike likes in Colorado.
