In this thrilling episode of throtl, the team takes on the challenge of transforming a humble $300 Nissan 300ZX into a roaring beast with a jaw-dropping 600 horsepower. With a hefty $30,000 investment in their fully built SR20 engine, the stakes are high as they head to Apex for a Dyno test. However, their journey is not without its hurdles, as they encounter issues like missing hood prop bolts and loose intake manifold bolts, showcasing the gritty reality of tuning projects.
Amidst the trials and tribulations, the team unveils their latest 300 ZX apparel drop on thr.com, a limited edition collaboration with BC Racing. Their admiration for BC's top-tier coilovers shines through as they gear up for the power test. Predictions run wild as they speculate on the engine's potential output, ranging from a modest 540 to the ambitious 600 wheel horsepower mark. The anticipation builds as they prepare the engine for its moment under the spotlight.
As the engine roars to life on the Dyno, the team faces a mix of excitement and tension. Initial runs show promise, with the engine hitting 430 horsepower, but injector limitations loom large at 92% duty cycle. Despite this setback, the team's spirit remains unbroken, fueling their determination to push the boundaries of performance. The episode culminates in a cliffhanger, leaving viewers on the edge of their seats as they await the next chapter in this high-octane saga.
