Racing Tonight... My GS-T vs Non-Turbo 300ZX... he says im running rich, am I?

[CYrUs0k5]

All I have done to my car is a blitz blow off valve and a injen ram intake... hes trying to convince everyone at school im running rich saying something about a return line taken away with the aftermarket BOV... is he right?

If you aren't recirculating the BOV back into the intake, yes he's right, you are running rich.

That wont affect my performance too much will it?

 

[LandoAWD]

You prolly won't notice since you are used to it, but yes it hurts performance.

you only run rich in between shifts..it doesn't hurt performance that much at all..

 

[nine5raptor]

it does hurt part throttle performance and spool as the bov is most likely partially open during those times as well.

thanks

OT: Doesnt the 95-99 bumper abstruct the intake to your FMIC?

 

[nine5raptor]

the 95-96 talon bumpers are very open.

i heard u only loose like 3-4 hp...

 

[Tallen]

fouls your plugs too. my pre-MAFT venting made me buy plugs every month or so....

 

[RipperXX]

Just dont vent the damn thing unless you have a blowthough MAF setup. Unless you want to make less power be slower and be more likely to lose to the 300ZX.

You will never lose to a non turbo 300ZX the run 16's in the quarter mile. I watched a guy in a 89 240sx with the SOHC motor pull 2 cars on a non turbo 300ZX.

I'll bet you could give him 2 cars and run with your A/C on and still beat him .. Yes you need to re-circ though for best performance. If he knew that about your car and you didn't chances are however that he has some parts on his car that will help him out a bit.

Good luck.

Also venting causes your car to buck when you let off the gas which probably slightly hurts performance. If you recirc. You will shift smoothe between shifts.

i raced my friends non turbo 300zx and i killed him hard.....it was insane... i have a turboback though which did a lot

[dsmrocker]

so, if i i dont vent, will the sound stays? i really like the sound to be honest..

 

[Megaman]

it wont be as loud

 

[alex99gst]

ok i was wondering a lot of you guys say to vent the BOV back to the intake, or circulate it. how would that work for a gst and what do you mean circulate it back

Actually the NA Z32 runs mid 15's stone stock. With some bolt ons they are mid/high 14 second cars.

Not a giant killer but not a slug either.
