B C Posted September 17, 2014 Report Share Posted September 17, 2014 Not necessary, MEGASQUIRT is necessary You are mostly just losing a little bit of power to parasitic losses . Without megasquirt you are losing out on lots of power Get some. DrLeadFoot and patsbimmer1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GunMetalGrey Posted September 17, 2014 Report Share Posted September 17, 2014 Get some wheels with a reasonable offset so you can run some real tires (your current tires are silly being 225 or 235) and go from there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GunMetalGrey Posted September 18, 2014 Report Share Posted September 18, 2014 Your 215's make me laugh!Also, you can use the starter to prime the engine, just pull the fuel pump fuse. DrLeadFoot 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B C Posted September 18, 2014 Report Share Posted September 18, 2014 remove the timing chain so that the pistons will be slowed down and it will reduce ring wear while priming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jc43089 Posted September 18, 2014 Report Share Posted September 18, 2014 In all seriousness, I usually prime an engine by removing the fuel pump fuse and pulling the spark plugs, no compression = no load on the bearings and it spins over much faster. It still takes longer than you think it would to build pressure in a new engine but yours wasn't fully disassembled.

jc43089 Posted September 23, 2014 Report Share Posted September 23, 2014 Almost there. I have HPS pads on our Maxima and very happy with them, excellent feeling street pad and they seem to last forever, I think they are around 40k and still over half of the material left. Not sure if it matters much but they are on Brembo slotted rotors as well. DrLeadFoot 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
