I might be buying a new car. Cost of a car > cost of exhaust and down pipe No excuses lol.

i read you noticed a difference with the BOV, any increased change with the hard pipes, or were they installed together ?

BOV went on first because I couldn't wait. Decent difference in spool up and response. Hard pipes+BOV= Worlds of difference. Turbo spools up fast, and you can definitely feel the power increase.

TurboSmart Manual Boost Controller ordered. Though I can't install it until I install my boost gauge... I can't install my boost gauge until I either take off my stock intake or replace my stock intake because I can't get to the firewall with it in the way lol.

Will hopefully be ordering my exhaust and intake next week, and then I'll be slowing down a bit until UpRev releases there flash for the ECU.

SHOdude · 05-26-2012, 12:28 PM

Any word of safe boost levels for this beast?

Bates · 05-26-2012, 05:15 PM

Stock PSI is 12. Safe PSI on stock tune is 16. Should see an extra 25-40HP on 16 PSI depending on supporting mods.

zmainiac · 05-26-2012, 09:09 PM

You can come test it out on my dyno to see and make sure the afr's are right and maybe see if you could go a little higher

Interesting build. I'm a Juke noob, is it FWD or AWD?

06evors · 05-28-2012, 09:29 AM

It's available in both. I believe it's only FWD for the turbo/5mt.

It is available in both. Mine is a FWD 6-Speed Manual. The AWD models only come in automatic, and the drive train loss is serious.

All Jukes are turbo, and FWDs come in 6-speed, not 5-speed.

Thanks for the info. Notice any TQ steer at stock power levels? I wonder why they didn't make an AWD manual option. That would be more ideal (to me at least), especially if you're going to be upping the power levels.

Nope. My Spec-V was stock 175HP with a LSD and had serious torque steer, The Juke is 188HP and no LSD and there is 0 torque steer. I assume when I cross the 230HP+ mark I will start to feel it though.

When you go for the Uprev let me know, if you want I will talk to JDS Motoring for you. How does this feel on the road ? I wonder if any suspensions are swappable.

Stock Suspension is tight. There are lots of spring options, plus Tein coilovers, but I am keeping that stock for now.

I need to test drive one of these. I really want to see it at like an auto-x or some platform friendly road racing. The next big build needs long term potential.

Bates · 05-29-2012, 07:48 AM

I plan on Auto-Xing it at one of the next events at the Meadowlands.

Bates · 05-31-2012, 02:26 PM

Boost Controller will be delivered today.
New Engine Harness and MAF for the Z31 will be delivered tomorrow.

It could be a busy weekend for me. The Z is top priority though because I really want to drive it again, plus it will make it a lot easier to sell.

Congrats on the new car, was a lil surprised that ya bought a crossover. Good luck with it
