Pets Infamous Edmonton 929 & it's exhaust

[The Petcan]

if i was just gonna throw new headers on theyd be custom made for best performance and then id just supercharge the engine..
with a nice bigass fuckin twin screw deal.

all i knwo about twinning it so far is that the custom aprts for rebuilding the JE48 and preparing it properly for twinning is gonna be 6 to 8 grand.

a REGULAR rebuild is 47 hours shop time by the book and the parts from mazda cost like 4 grand.

so one thing at a time.. supercharge or turbo.. either one requires a rebuild beforehand for common sense reasons, and at almost 300,000km.... its about time.

we were gonna throw in a 20b twin turbo out of a COSMO but.... meh...

see at those prices you might as well just pay to have another engien with a bigger aftermarket put it. Trust me i would love to see the original engien performing 400 whp but it'll cost around 10 grand. Oh and 4k to rebuild a je48 is bs i think its like 1500$ in parts and noooo way does it cost 2500 in labor. If you do rebuild you engien i've got a set of heads and a couple blocks. I actually dont need a block so if you want it it's yours just pay the shipping.

48 hours labour is what the book said, i looked at the actual factory book at the mechanics..
85 dollars an hour labour rate = 3500ish CAD...
fuckin ridiculous id do it with buddies but still forged parts, reinforced everything for turbos etc? that **** would all be custom made i bet

i know itd be smart to get a new engine, thats why i havent gone too far with this one but its been 1,000 USD just to do the timing and waterpump/seals etc.. hydraulic tensioner, new bolts for EVERYTHING, the whole 9 yards all replaced...

I like it because people know my car, cant mistake it. I hate when driving w/ family. Thats why we have the saturn. Could get it re-done for under 30 bucks, not a priroity. JE has a high compression rate, you can **** with heads, port them out and **** but what/how are going to deal with that compression rate when you put on on a turbo?? twin at that.

the hard thing about making a je exhaust is to gain power throughout the powerband and keeping it quite.

After thinking about power gains and such it makes sense to me now to transplant another engine into the car. Preferably an engine with a huge aftermarket like an LS1 or the new vett engine.

The hard part really is getting mid range power and keeping it quiet. Im going to use an "X" pipe on mine, something like this but the 2 pre mufflers would be a single twin in and out with 2" pipes.



The reality for us 929 owners is that the 13B is our only "close" 400HP option; but your either a rotary guy or NOT.



For us who drool over displacement, we just witnessed a small block Ford V8 get wedged into a 929 engine bay. Even an inline 6 fits fine (read: Skyline RB motor). Im with Dmeetro on this an LS1 sounds wonderful. I personally like a twin cam 4.5L Nissan V8 revving past 7000RPM.

$10,000 = 400HP TT JE48
less than $10,000 = small block V8 or I6 of your choice & more $ to spend on other mods.

Petcan for $750 I could of got you exhaust built with mandrel bends down in Vancouver but it really isnt a 12 hours drive. At least your happy with it. Now find a way to get a sound/video clip.

Compression or boost won't kill the motor. Detonation will. You tune the car perfect and it'll last.

If there is one thing that I could teach anyone thinking of doing any remotely powerful is that you

<div align="center">NEVER SKIMP ON THE TUNING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

On another note, I know I live kind of far away from you(Fargo-Moorhead, ND-MN), but I own a performance/fab shop. We can do custom TIG'd stainless exhaust(mandrel), manifolds/headers, IC setups, etc. Unfortunately, I only have access to an HC DOHC in house.
