  1. That is a fantastic idea!! That never even crossed my mind. Flipping them left and right is all im looking for. i want them to point at the ground, but first things first i will check the gaskets to one another. thanks!
  2. Hey alI I have been surfing google for quite some time now and I cant find the answer I am looking for. This inst directly related to z31 but I figure you guys would probably have the most exposure to this. I am doing a vg30et swap in my 240z and I am looking for options on production manifolds that can be be flipped to a forward facing position and modified for my turbo in front of the engine. I would prefer to not build them to save some time if possible but that is always an option. this is pretty much what i would like to use but it is for a vg30de. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Stainless-Steel-Header-Nissan-300ZX-90-91-92-93-94-95-96-Z32-3-0L-V6-Non-Turbo-/380379799781?_trksid=p2047675.m1850&_trkparms=aid%3D222001%26algo%3DSIC.CURRENT%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D229%26meid%3D7221280172345842184%26pid%3D100011%26prg%3D1121%26rk%3D5%26sd%3D230924886619%26 I have read that these are not "bolt on" for vg30et and looking at a photo of a head and the manifold seems to make that clear. It looks like the front bolt holes of the manifold are down instead of up and the back down instead of up. I plan on flipping them, which looks to me to make the bolt holes line up correctly? here is the head im looking at http://www.redz31.net/images/headwork/jheadsassembled.jpg But is the runner spacings completely different from vg30et to det?? Any body ever compared the flanges side by side? are there similar short tube manifolds for other engines/vehicles that are compatible? Any info or links would be greatly appriciated
  3. the stock L98 heads really arent that good, the aluminum ones are better but still dont flow that well. the heads however are not the bottle neck if your running a stock TPI, its the lower intake manifold. they changed the intake bolt pattern from straight to angled in 87 so you will have to use a head from that time period to avoid modifying the lower manifold which can be done and the article below explains that a little, i have some heads off of an 88 that are cast iron if your looking for a set. i assume your running the TPI and that is why you need the heads? here is a little article on it http://www.hotrod.com/techarticles/engine/hrdp_9812_tpi_engine_swap_for_classic_chevys/length_of_the_intake_runners.html
