Opps just got myself banned from hybridz Seems some guy 1 fast z is ok to have a go at you but whne you go back at him , he gets his moderator mate to ban you . Oh well, this one is more friendly anyway
-
At 600 for a set i am going to go for spool , its hardly worth me doing it myself
-
Well im going to bolt it hard to the head and weld it up . The with a furnace i will heat it up to normalise it and cool it slowly Im hoping this will be enough
-
I still have a week to go. But yes i will be spending alot of time in the workshop over my holidays
-
Ok well its finished pretty much Just have to weld it all solid now please excuse the mess in my car this is all pre my doing
-
I think some one should have checked there engine earth before they started to earth there choke cables. Its a classic case of not actually understanding what makes things work.
-
Nah thats not the turbo i am running its just a turbo to help me sizing it all up I will be running an external to get the correct boost control i am after
-
Yeah im looking to get an ecu that has wheel sensors as well so i can have switchable traction control if i decide to do some track work. If you have drive by wire with wheel sensors you get cruise control as well. Also you get torque control off the throttle as well , so if you put your foot halfway down you actually get half power not half throttle , makes for a smooth powerband
-
Im not sure yet i like the old school linkage.Im also looking at drive by wire so i dont have a cable at all
-
how about just 700 on the ignition save the 300

What piston does a 137 let you run

OK well did some more work on it today. of course i didnt have enough bends i was one short I will go get some more tomorrow and do some work on it thursday The intake manifold is just sitting on there at the moment so dont think its going to be running and touching the header at the same time I have redone number 6 as i was not happy with the angles in it ,you can see the redone one in the first pic After its welded and ground up i will hit it with the emery tape and smooth it all out before welding together
-
Yes I will see what i can find out. Im just trying to judge interest . Can i put you guys down as interested if They meet your stds Its not a commitment to buy just an expression of interest
-
No they are not on ebay or never were Im going to bring them in myself if i get enough interest i will bring in a few sets
-
tow ropes i bet
-
I wonder when the turbo kit comes out for it
-
Forget about the picture but the colour in the background is what i would like to paint my z with black zg guards and bobtail
-
The more people interested the cheaper i can get them
-
I have been in touch with a chinese company about some forged rods for my l28. Im looking to set up a group buy if anyone else is interested in them. The cost will be 350 usa dollars plus freight which would be about $50 this comes in at about 500 aussie dollars delevered China is where most of the major companies are getting there rods made. If you interested then contact me through here I can get them in 133 (L24) and also 130.3 (L28) lengths
-
It doesnt weigh as much as it looks. I will weigh it when i am finshed, the issue i think with the mounts will be the twisting it gets from the extra torque the motor develops
-
Well our metal work department went from the smallest department in the school to the largest in the last few years. So he is happy its all about funding . Every year i build something strange and ride around the school on it . The z car maybe a bit big to get down the footpath however
-
Thats nasty, Actually its good for the students as they get to see some relevance in what they are learning , a decent use for it
-
Yes the turbo sits further back , its done that way to try and clear the engine mount. The rear pipes will look different from the front. However they will be the same length , just some of the bends may be tighter
-
Ok progress pics I have done the front pipes and hopefully will get the rest done tomorrow or at least this week. Then its time to remove them and weld them all solid and put them back on. Im reasonablly happy with how its turning out its no monzter style thing but its even length and held close to engine and out of the way.
-
I would think they would come in about 1k
