Synapse Engineering now available at 240sxmotoring.com



Innovation is the product of our most basic drive, problem solving. Innovation then becomes the foundation for the next evolution

In 1999 we designed the Missing Link product line to fix some of the unaddressed reliability problems that plagued aftermarket turbocharged Honda and Acura owners. Six years later the underlying concept still stands and the Missing Link is, today, an industry standard. Synchronic is a fundamental redesign of the geometry of the ubiquitous pneumatic/hydraulic actuator. This approach is one that we endeavor to commercialize for applications in Automotive, Aerospace, Medical devices, Manufacturing etc. It is this horizontal platform technology that you will find in our new line of Synchonic fuel pressure regulators. It is this approach that has allowed us to miniaturize the legacy FMU to 1/5th it original size. Synchronic will also be the core for products we will be launching that will challenge the legacy approach to the pneumatic boost controller, blow off valve and wastegate. Our mission is to innovate and deliver products that go beyond repackaging the status quo, but instead, redefine the performance landscape.

NGK Powerdex AFX Wideband Air-Fuel Ratio Monitor


NGK Spark Plugs is introducing its new Powerdex AFX Wideband Air-Fuel Ratio Monitor for the performance aftermarket. This product meets the increasing demand in the market for precision air-fuel ratio monitoring tools.

Traditionally these types of tools commanded price tags that could only be justified by professional race teams and engine specialists. As technology advanced, many low-cost air-fuel ratio products emerged. Some used actual wideband sensors while others simply read OE style narrowband oxygen sensor signals and attempted to convert them to linear readouts….often with marginal success.

With the AFX, NGK now offers the most affordable wideband system to date. A flexible and rugged system complete with everything needed to get you tuning. The kit comes with a digital display control module, 13’ wiring harness, wideband air-fuel ratio sensor, exhaust boss and plug, and a comprehensive tuning manual. The tuning manual includes installation instructions and contains a detailed guide to performance air-fuel ratio tuning.

The AFX measures and displays air-fuel ratio (AFR) from 9.00 to 16.00. It demonstrates superb response and accuracy within 0.1 AFR. The air-fuel ratio information can then be utilized by the user to make fuel delivery adjustments to the vehicle’s carburetor, mechanical fuel injection, or programmable electronic fuel injection system. The desired air-fuel ratio can be achieved depending on the performance requirements of the engine or race application. This is an exceptionally useful tool for carbureted engines, where there is a lot of freedom in tuning as well as a great need for proper adjustment.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Our EXPREME exhaust manifold is now available for SR20 owners who want a performance upgraded from the genuine exhaust manifold. With our product you can retain the genuine setup and no special modifications are needed to fit the standard turbo. With the SR20DET the exhaust manifold was designed to be close from the exhaust port to the turbine. With the comparison test of our isometric prototype & the factory genuine manifold which also utilizes the same layout, it shows that ours has succeeded in delivering an overall improved performance in both torque and power increase in areas like in the higher RPM range in which you were not able to utilize before. With our extensive testing we have reached the conclusion that the normal design is superior as a total overall efficiency. So to develop an exhaust manifold similar with the design and setup as the factory manifold we were finally able to produce a product worthy to bear our name as a product that has the potential to deliver an overall increase in performance.

GReddy Radiator Breather Tank 12400903


GReddy Radiator Breather Tank 12400903
Designed originally for racing engines, today’s compact production engines can also benefit from the used of GReddy’s Radiator Bleed Tank. By mounting the tank high up in the engine compartment, you can be assured that of a fully filled system with room for air expansion, thus reducing chances of overheating due to air-lock. Block-off radiator cap included.

I definitly recommend this to High Reving SR's or KA's where cavitation can occur. This can also prevent damage to the motor when overheated, ie. Headgasket Failure.

GREDDY BLOW OFF VALVE TYPE-RZ 11501663


GREDDY BLOW OFF VALVE TYPE-RZ 11501663

High capacity performance in a compact frame
-With the use of the high quality valve and diaphragm control system, the type-RZ was created to be the most reliable Blow off valve system available.
-New designs allow for high capacity and performance that rival high performance Blow-off Valves, While being more compact and lighter-weight.


Ultimate Discharge Sound
-The unique 8 discharge ports in the CNC machined aluminum discharge funnel draws surrounding air to amplify blow-off sound.
Large 40mm Valve
-The CNC machined aluminum valve is coated with a hard anodizing, to withstand extreme friction, maintain an airtight seal and increase durability.


Quick Response
-To ensure proper valve movement, a durable, airtight, pressure resistant Bellofram diaphragm is used.
-The Short valve stroke allows a compact top housing design. This smaller top housing volume also adds improved valve response


Dual Spring System
-A carefully selected spring rate, prevents premature discharge under high boost pressure and increases valve speed for quick response application.

Adjustable Spring Rate
-The spring tension can be tuned by the adjustment screw, to suit mass applications.

Re-Circulation Hose Adapter
-The Discharge funnel can be replaced with an optional, Re-circulation Hose Adapter to allow re-routing of the discharged air back in the air intake system.
-Re-circulation Hose Adapter is not included in the Universal Blow-off valve Type-RZ Kit.

Mounting Flange
-The Type-RZ uses the same mounting flange as Type-S and the Type-RS (flange not included). There may be some applications, where the Type-RZ Will not be able to replace the GREDDY valve on some bolt-on blow-off valve Kits

Tein Tie Rods for Nissan 240sx S13/S14 89-98 (Inners & Outers)
Tein Tie Rods for Nissan 240sx S13/S14 89-98
These come complete with both passenger and driver side inners and outer tie rods.

Strengthened Tie Rod Improved durability and increased steering wheel cut off angle. This will allow for a higher steering angle at full steering wheel lock. All for a reasonable price.

Superior Durability Tein tie rods are designed to be stronger than original equipment found on the 240SX (S13 and S14). During hard sport driving, breaking and bending of the tie rods will now be reduced.

Increased Steering Wheel Cut Off Angle Tein tie rods are adjustable to give you more steering angle at full steering wheel lock. Original equipment tie rods offer limited steering wheel rotation, while Tein tie rods allow for increased rotation.

Excellent Option For Drifting Tein tie rods can be adjusted for more steering angle for when you counter steer. This will in turn create deeper drift angles.

* Tein tie rod and tie rod ends can NOT be used in combination with the original equipment tie rod and tie rod ends. (Well, actually the s14 oem will interchange with tein inner and outer but we dont sell seperatly)

Greddy Turbo Elbow SR S13/S14/S15 11920100


What can we say, this thing is awesome!

The craftmanship put into this is unreal for the price. Hand made rolled steel. The welds are done by Tig. By far the best turbo extension(elbow) out on the market that FITS the US Left hand drive car. YEP! this one actually clears the steering shaft unlike those Ebay ones which were made for Right Hand Drive models.

The best part is the diverter that is in the elbow that lets turbo exhaust gases not interchange with the wastegate gases. This makes less restriction on your internal wastegate to allow better flow and response.

Another reason why this GReddy elbow is superior to all others is that it actually included new STUDS for the turbo outlet and new hardware for downpipe. AND S13 Skinny o2 sensor owners can now retain their stock o2 sensor because it includes an o2 adaptor. Otherwise other elbows on the market make you buy a Fatty 02 sensor for an additional $95!!!!

This elbow fits ALL SR20DET Motors using T25 or T28 Turbos. Can be used with GT2871 also.

S15 Spec R turbos use a small wastegate diverter that will hit the Greddy diverter. So cutting off the greddy diverter that extrudes past the 5bolt mounting flange is needed to fit properly

OEM SR20DET Timing Chain - Good Invesment


The oem SR20DET Timing Chain is a no-brainer to replace when either doing a headgasket or oil pump. The timing chain takes a beating on SR's, especially if you are high-reving your motor during racing. Last thing you need is the chain to break and cause a huge loss in your pocket. Timing chains can stretch over time, causing too much play, which can wear timing chain guides rapidly or even cause the chain to snap. So next time you are working on your engine overhaul, think about investing in a new timing chain for a safe peice of mind.

Every year our industry gets together with vendors, buyers, and manufactures to show the new upcoming and greatest products out for the automotive scene. SEMA is held usually the first week in November. And of course, we all go to SEMA to talk "business". However during that time, no one is at the shop! That means we actually close our business for a couple days to make our way out to Las Vegas, Nevada. This year our days we are going out there is a tuesday through thursday. Since we will not be at the shop to fulfill orders, take phone calls and ship out products, we will be offering a "SEMA SPECIAL" page that will list a bunch of popular parts at COST!

Garrett Turbochargers! Best in the Business



Since 1954 Garrett's team of engineers continuously strive to bring the best technical product to the industry. Today Garrett's team of over 500 engineers are working worldwide to further enhance Garrett's ability to meet demanding engine needs.

The Garrett Performance team is bringing Garrett’s turbocharging technology to you for use in your applications. The Garrett Performance Product Catalog incorporates the technology utilized in today’s modern engines.

Aerodynamics:
New compressor and turbine wheel blade designs have improved the overall efficiency of both sides of the turbocharger.

The result: the engine spools up to boost quicker and reduces losses in the engine system (i.e. your engine does not have to work as hard for the same boost level).

GT Product Line:
The Garrett GT product line has expanded to include:

•Engines from less than one liter to 10 liters with a range from 50 Hp to 2000 Hp
•Increased thrust bearing capacity
•Part count reduction resulting in higher durability
•GT products use the latest aerodynamics
•Separate backplates allow the user to upgrade the compressor without changing the center housing

ISIS Performance Products


With the extreme change in the market for performance parts, we have seen that there are two types of customers out there. The budget tuner that have limited funds yet feel the need to make changes on thier vehicle in hopes of better performance, then there are customers that buy top quality parts knowing to them the purchase is not an expense, but an investment. They are the ones that know quality over quantity. They rather buy a good part once, rather than buying the lower grade part multiple times.

However, those high quality part customers are fading out and the budget tuners are growing. We have to go with this change to be on top of the market at all times. This is why we brought in ISIS Performance Parts as another line up. ISIS is exactly what we needed for the "budget tuner". Cheap and gets the job done. Quality is there, but no where close to the quality of the higher brand names. But can you complain? In most cases parts are one third the cost of the higher brand names.

Carbonetics.....when you think of LSD's, you problably have in mind KAAZ, OS Giken, Tomei, etc. Now you should be also mentioning Carbonetics in that list. As a new company to the scene (2001), Carbonetics had come aboard to offer 2 lines of Limited Slip Differentials for the Nissan S-Chassis.

The first model is the typical metal differential that offers the same quality and durability as the KAAZ unit we run in our S14 Time Attack car. It's tough and gets the job done. We recommend this unit for any customer doing any type of driving as they offer this in a 2-way and 1.5way.

Now we come to their second model they offer, the Carbon! The Carbon version is one of those things that you think "Ah, that's cool, but why would I want to spend the money on it". Well, let me just put it in perspective, our time attack car will be switching to this model. The most concerning part for any race car is reliability! Having one thing break on you while you are 2000 miles away from home on a track that you are competing on and invested so much in the car just SUCKS! I rather be practicing my racing line and trying to get speeds up in corners than be in the pits scratching my head. The Carbon LSD pretty much never needs to be serviced! Just change the oil regularly and you are good to go. And since it is carbon plated as opposed to metal plates, it is virtually silent when driving. The last and finally good point to mention here is that there is less heat with the carbon which means less thermo breakdown on parts which also inherently makes the unit more reliable than the standard Metal LSD.

The New Hotness - Greddy Full Auto Turbo Timer II



With endusers wanting a smaller compact and easier to mount components, Greddy redesigned their ever so popular Turbo Timer. This Greddy Turbo Timer uses the same wiring as the old version, but now has a small user interface that can easily be mounted using velrco or double sided tape.


Designed to prolong the life of your turbocharge, while adding connivance. GReddy Full Auto Turbo Timers allow a vehicle to idle the engine for a timed period, with the ignition key removed. This conveniently allows the engine oil and turbo center cartridge to cool down properly and prolong turbo and oil life. This can be done by two standard programmable count down presets (P-1, P-2), or the GReddy Full Auto Timer can use it’s two auto timer modes (A-L, A-H). The modes estimate the driving RPM according to the vehicle's alternator signal and then recommend a count down time. A stopwatch/lap time and attack modes along with a built in voltmeter and speedometer are also standard features. Safety options for the parking brake and speedo hook-ups can be used to disengage operation if vehicle is attempted to be moved without the key. There are also optional easy to install plug-in adapter harnesses available for most Japanese turbo vehicles.

Brembo Brake Fluid, Legit?


Braking systems on any race car are top priority and should never be overlooked. Over the last time attack season, I played greatly with different pad compounds to suit my liking. However, through out the season I was dealing with some break fade, atleast I thought I was. It wasn't until South Carolina that I tried to switch from an "on-shelf" no name brand Dot4 Brake Fluid to the Brembo Brake Fluid. My first impressions was shocking. I had no idea a brake fluid could make such a drastic change. After getting the pads warmed up, the brake pedal feel was exactly the same! It could have been the 2nd lap or the 15th lap on the track, no matter how hard I was hammering on my brakes, they always felt the same. And consistancy makes a huge difference when trying to make the best lap time. Two Thumbs UP!!

Here is some info that describes brake fluid and Brembo's product.

Due to the extreme operating temperatures of a high performance brake system, standard 'off-the-shelf' brake fluids are not recommended. Of critical importance in determining a fluids ability to handle high temperature applications is the Dry Boiling Point and compressibility.
The Dry Boiling Point is the temperature at which a brake fluid will boil in its virgin non-contaminated state. The highest temperature Dry Boiling Point available in a DOT 3 fluid is 572 F

The Wet Boiling Point is the temperature a brake fluid will boil after it has been fully saturated with moisture. The DOT 3 requirement for wet boiling point is a minimum temperature of 284 F.

Brembo Sport.EVO 500++ Brake Fluid is a premium specification motor vehicle brake and clutch fluid formulated to meet brake system performance requirements for the street and the track. As a U.S. FMVSS No. 116 DOT3 or DOT4 blend, Brembo Sport.EVO 500 is suitable for use in cars (especially those with ABS braking systems), commercial vehicles and motorcycles for which a petroleum-based fluid is specified.

500ml bottle
Typical dry boiling point 520°F
Typical wet boiling point 336°F
Mixes safely with DOT3, DO4 and DOT5.1 brake and clutch fluids
Not suitable for vehicles with mineral oil systems (e.g., certain Citroen models)
