Go fast Bits G-Force boost controller!
By Wes Dumalski
Our mates overseas at Go Fast Bits have been hard at work perfecting a new feature packed boost controller called the G-Force that has hit our shores! This cutting edge unit has all the bells and whistles any boost junkie could ask for. We recently put the G-Force through it's paces on Project 200SX in an effort to share our feedback with Go Fast Bits themselves..... Here are our impressions of the unit they sent us.

Project Nissan Sentra SE-R: Fmax Manifold
By Aaron LaBeau
In this third part of our series, we travel down to F-Max Fabrication in San Diego, CA for our turbo manifold buildup. Jhame Peters, owner and fabricator, was ready to take the SR20DE to a new level. His turbo manifolds for Toyota, Honda, Lexus and Nissan engines have proven to make high hp numbers and give incredible reliability. Still, we wanted something better than what was currently available and, at the time, we were willing to sacrifice durability to get better flow from an exhaust manifold. As it turned out, we got a lot more than we were asking for.

In the last installment of our build, we delved into building the bottom end of our VG30DETT engine for the goal of reliably achieving 550 plus horsepower. In this segment we will look into what was done to our top end including the cylinder heads to support this power level.
See part one about the bottom end here!

A lot of us gearheads have always dreamed of racing at Utah's Bonneville raceway. Since 1896 men have come in cars to the vast salt flats west of Salt Lake City to try their luck, not at legal gambling in the nearby town of Wendover, but to see who is the fastest of the fast. All of the worlds speed records for various types of automobiles have been set here at one time or another including Gary Gabiliche's amazing speed of 622 mph which stood as the fastest speed a land vehicle reached on earth for 13 years.

When we last left off on our QR25DE project, Jim Wolf Technology was well on the development path for our motor with new rods, pistons and the removal of the balance shafts. JWT still had a few more tricks up their sleeves to help the motor make more power and to improve its reliability that we will get into in this installment.

Bringing you MotoIQ is a pretty tough job, we generally work as much as 80 hours per week which involves writing, layout, photography and wrenching. On top of that, I am a suspension consultant which keeps me busy traveling and working when I am not here. We don't get much time off but we love our job and that helps. We really like driving but we hardly every get a chance to actually drive!
Other stuff we do for fun!

If you have been a fan of MotoIQ, you have probably been reading The Queen of Questions, Sarah Forst's tech column from day one. Our statistical tracking software has shown that Sarah's works are the most highly trafficked of all of our features. So some of you are probably wondering, how did she get to know all of this stuff. Well if you know Sarah, you understand that she is very thorough and loves to research things. She has a financial background and complicated analysis and number crunching are natural for her. She learned much about extreme tech from building up her own car many years ago, meeting some of the countries top Nissan tuners and becoming a master of tuning herself in the process. Now Sarah has several cars in her arsenal ranging from a G20 winter beater to a G35 daily driver and a NX2000 track car but none are as interesting as her super Sentra.

It's no secret that driving your car at speed on a road course will bring to light all of the car's weaknesses. After sorting the motor and suspension we decided to take Project 200SX to a few track day events to put the car through its paces. While the car has proven dead reliable we certainly found its shortcomings.

Team Falken Drift Ace Dai Yoshihara is currently developing a Nissan 350Z roadster for competition in Time Attack street classes. Unfortunately the 350Z roaster did not come with Nissan's excellent performing Brembo track package brakes. In the cars maiden outing at the Buttonwillow Superlap Battle, the car was hampered with multiple problems with the brake system on the car. The car had been fitted with an aftermarket prototype performance brake system for the SEMA show. The car was plagued by cracking rotors, fade, long pedal and the rotors separating from the hat section...

Project 200SX - Overhauling the suspension...
By Wes Dumalski
We're not going to lie, our old Ground Control and KYB AGX combo might have been good back in the day, but after too much autocross and track time it was showing its years. The time has come to replace it with something worthwhile, the big question we had was what do we replace it with?
