luvemfast Posted May 27, 2013 Posted May 27, 2013 Don't you just love th ZX oil filter adapters.............. Why would you put them upside down? So every time you pull it off, oil goes everywhere! Looking the goods O Will we see you on the track? Quote
ZED83 Posted May 27, 2013 Posted May 27, 2013 Hay Simon, nah not for track use! Have no time! And after this no money lol just for street fun and the occasional show. Quote
peter mc Posted May 28, 2013 Author Posted May 28, 2013 I finished the intake today ,port matched to the head Quote
pauly_adams Posted May 28, 2013 Posted May 28, 2013 those are some big injectors for a NA, they appear to be 450cc gtr injectors if im not mistaken Quote
ZED83 Posted May 28, 2013 Posted May 28, 2013 Should sound real good now! Pete those mesh filters shouldn't take much to pull off, I've only put three little dabs of silicon to hold them on. Quote

Gordo Posted May 28, 2013 Posted May 28, 2013 Owen , you are going to love this Engine, when you get it up and running it will be time to do a drive day, or at least meet up some where! Melbourne boys and Ballarat boys and Warrigal boys and the other Boys. Quote
Roberto Posted May 28, 2013 Posted May 28, 2013 Should sound real good now! Pete those mesh filters shouldn't take much to pull off, I've only put three little dabs of silicon to hold them on. You were running the sock filters, Owen. What made you switch? Peter told me once the mesh filterss are restrictive. Did I misunderstand you Peter? Quote
ZED83 Posted May 28, 2013 Posted May 28, 2013 Sounds good to me Gordo be good to get out of this town for the day! Will have to relearn how to dive it again most likely! Those injectors are 283cc 14mm! Hay Roberto, no! before all this happened I was trying different filters out, but found out by pete also. :-\ Quote
Riceburner Posted May 28, 2013 Posted May 28, 2013 You were running the sock filters, Owen. What made you switch? Peter told me once the mesh filterss are restrictive. Did I misunderstand you Peter? There's quite a few styles of the mesh type, I thought some were good and some were bad. These are EFI hardware one if I'm not mistaken. Steve Newing tested them on a V8, he says they offer no restriction at all and flow the same as an open stack. It's no PMC Lseries so results may vary. Any filter will have pressure drop across it and that means a flow restriction doesn't it? Quote
ZED83 Posted May 28, 2013 Posted May 28, 2013 Hay I'm all for sucking up small birds! Lol mmm KFC Quote
peter mc Posted May 28, 2013 Author Posted May 28, 2013 The dyno don't tell fibs, i wont have them on any motor i have built . Quote
d3c0y Posted May 28, 2013 Posted May 28, 2013 Hope you have lined up a suitable gearbox. I have all but destroyed mine in 4 test drives basically around the greater block... Quote
ZED83 Posted May 28, 2013 Posted May 28, 2013 Hope you have lined up a suitable gearbox. I'm getting the full package, Fj20 gear box and R200 lsd diff to suit Quote
peter mc Posted May 29, 2013 Author Posted May 29, 2013 Getting there now will have it all together tomorrow Quote
peter mc Posted May 29, 2013 Author Posted May 29, 2013 yep he had it on the old motor and also has the twin idler lol owell we are only trying for 310hp , I'm going for a 1308 cam only 298 deg but has 590lift , I'm trying to make as much torque as i can under 5000 , as it will spend all its time on the road , if it was a track car it would have a 654a cam and it would make more over 6000 , and i would change the water pump and do more water mods Quote
ZED83 Posted May 29, 2013 Posted May 29, 2013 What's wrong with electric water pumps pete? Is it best to change it! Quote
peter mc Posted May 29, 2013 Author Posted May 29, 2013 I have found on the race motors the EWP is not as good as the stock part , but on your motor i dont think it will be a problem , if we were after 330+ i would as you to change it Quote
