New upgrades for the 2JZ 240z

Z-Gad · February 20th, 2008, 07:26 PM

I've been pretty quiet lately, but have a little progress to share. I suck at posting pics, so here the shots from my album here.
Parachute mounted...

I still have my work cutout for me, as I am awaiting my TechnoToyTuning rearend setup, and have to install the new TEC III with the 4-bar MAP sensor and THEN see what it's capable of...

Some one once told me a car without a chute may run hard , but a car with one chute is twice as fast ,but a car with two chutes wont waste his time on you. I believe you deserve two chutes....Unless thats two in there already your ready to go!!!

JustinOlson · February 20th, 2008, 08:35 PM

I can't wait to see what it runs! Bad Ass Setup!!!!

Whats the solid axle rearend doing???

Justin

Tombarace14 · February 20th, 2008, 08:38 PM

I like the business end way way better! Lookin good man, what are you hoping to run low to mid 8's?

CArFAn · February 20th, 2008, 08:49 PM

Is there a Z in the 7's ? If so link me to a vid or something.

JSM · February 20th, 2008, 08:56 PM

Looks good Mike! Will you make DNI with the car done? I thought the wife drove a white 350z?

Hey Justin,
The solid axle was going into the Z, but I decided to jump on the TTT rear end stuff. Now it is on Ebay...
item #170195728116
.. along with some other stuff I am trying to convert to cash
http://motors.search.ebay.com/_W0QQsassZgadwaw
(shameless plug, but thanks for setting me up

)

Jeff - DNI is still a possibility...just a distant one... I am doing what I can though
I had to look at the pics again... the car in the garage next to the 240z is our 07 solar-orange 350z roadster.

Tombarace14 - my cage is only good to 8.50's and I am not interested in adding any more bars to it. Legally, I'll be limited to that.

JustinOlson · February 21st, 2008, 11:01 AM

What size wheels and slicks are you going to be running with the 5 lug setup?

Are you still planning any aero mods? You should be trapping in the mid 160's I would think with these new round of changes. Just curious what you are going to be doing.

Regards,
Justin

Z-Gad · February 21st, 2008, 11:28 AM

Justin,
I'll be running Weld Prostars and tire size is yet TBD, My choices are somewhat limited, as I'll be in the 26-27 inch tall diameter, but I'll be able to run a 15" rim, giving me a little more sidewall.
As far as aero mods ... I have a couple of things I am considering front/rear spoilers and VG's, but it has been really stable to this point on the current setup. I'll have to wait to see how it is at 160+.
Mike

wigenOut-S30 · February 21st, 2008, 11:50 AM

Mike that is looking fantastic dude!!! I really hope she makes it to DNI.. If the Z doesnt.. you better still bring yourself!!

Gabe

jnjdragracing · February 21st, 2008, 02:19 PM

Looking good Mike, Hope we get to see it at DNI, we are having to rush ourselfs to make it all happen as well.

RedEvilrps13 · February 21st, 2008, 02:21 PM

will the srpings work on a 280? and whats the drop on them?

JustinOlson · February 21st, 2008, 07:24 PM

Wait, So I guess I missed this from before. You ran 8.9's on ET Streets?? That is really impressive. Are you going to stick to DOT tires?

Maybe a 275/50-15 radial. (I've read that the MT radial stick as well as the ET Streets)

I've been eyeing the Hoosier 27X11.5X15 QTP DOT.

dr_hunt · February 21st, 2008, 08:22 PM

Very nice Mike, very nice.

BRAAP · February 21st, 2008, 08:31 PM

WOW!!! what sort of gains do you expect?...

Yep, I run the DOT tires, as I drive the car 20 minutes to the track and back home and don't feel like carrying a jack, other wheels/tires, etc. I will continue with the DOT tires. I just bought a set of 4 Prostars from a Mustang guy and the rears have M/T ET Street 28x12.5x15 (probably too big and I'll probably end up selling them, but I'll trial fit them since they are coming with the wheels.
I've run the M/T drag radials, and the best I could do with them was a 1.48 60'. I went to the ET Street and was able to get into the mid to high 1.3xx 60'.

I like the 27x11.5x15 QTP's, I am going to see how the 28's fit (as I suspect they won't, but it will give me some idea of how the 27's would fit. I already know the 26x11.5's fit.

JNJ - I'll see you guys there regardless

RedEvilrps13 - 1" drop on the springs

Dr Hunt - hope to see you all soon as well

BRAAP - As for perfoprmance gains, I really haven't a number in mind, but am just looking forward to comparing the performance to the 76mm that I took off.I figure I was making just under 800 rwhp with the 76mm at 30 lbs of boost with the 100 shot of nitrous. I will gradually work my way toward 40 lbs of boost and run a 150 shot of nitrous before all is said and done, as I locate the next weak link

Thanks all for the kind words and hopefully I'll have some results to go with the photos soon.

RayG1988 · February 21st, 2008, 10:52 PM

I can't wait to see this at OSW!

340ZXTTAZ · February 21st, 2008, 11:47 PM

Where can I find more info on the T3 rear stuff mention above?

Dont believe that unless you have a really sophisticated boost controller with ramp and lots of track time to dial it in. With your power goals, nothing less than a 315 or 325 DR will work.

I ran the 27x11.5x15 QTPs on the GNZ. 4800 on the T-brake with the GN engine netted me 1.36 and no trace of wheelspin. I just installed 26x11.5x15 QTPs on 15x9s. Hope to test this Sunday.
