When everyone says the phrase "bumped compression to 8:1" on a turbo motor, what are they doing to get the extra .5 cr over stock? Milled head? Are some people just switching to the flattop pistons?
No idea....from what I have learned there are three options so far:
- Have stock T5 driveshaft shortened by a driveline shop(~$150)
- Have custom driveshaft made (~$300)
- Find automatic ZX driveshaft
Yes a writeup would be good, something interesting I found so far is that you can use a 280zx automatic driveshaft with the zxt r200 and a t5 and not need to cut it. Also, there are no premade 3" downpipes, they will have to be done custom. MSA does sell a 2.5" DP however.
I just ran a compression test on the motor(the one I won't be using) last sunday actually and the cylinders all came up as follows:
1# 130
2# 125
3# 130
4# 135
5# 130
6# 135
There are people with listed parts, or patchy information on this or that, and some opinions. Other areas are gray areas, like which gas tank solutions there are, or driveshaft fabrication and ujoint mounts.
