Dunlop Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 (edited) Well As promised, i will start posting the fruits of my labor. Quick summery... The car still needs some wiring like signals, running lights and such. It has 3k hid's, that tempature color is yellow which really looks awesome on this car for some reason. Still need to upgrade my fuel system for a return style regulator!! Other then that its great! Dart heads with angled spark plugs Demon 680 or something? compression 10 to 1 Medium cam all forged aluminum internals Thats pretty much all i know for the engine. Got the radiator off a 90's corvette Upgraded most rubber to poly shaved the blink blinks and ET Trans is a T56 6 point cage bride low max seats Exhaust is duel 2 1/4 to duel turbo mufflers. H pipe is right after the output shaft. Dry ice worked AWESOME for getting rid of the sound deadening material!! Also would be interesting to see people guess the weight and see who is the closest. Please suggest and comment!@ Thanks guys Edited May 28, 2011 by Dunlop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mistafosta Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 Throw that air filter out the window. I can't even begin to describe how restricting those things are. Get a nice drop base round filter with a K&N element. Nice looking setup though otherwise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunlop Posted May 29, 2011 Author Share Posted May 29, 2011 Yea if you look at the pics, i have to take off the filter for it even to run right. It took me 1 min to figure out, that the filter is completely junk. Still am tuning/breaking-in now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kamikaZeS30 Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 (edited) Nice work. I guess 2340. Edit: oh wait, 280z... Change my guess to 2650. Edited June 1, 2011 by kamikaZeS30 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only are they restrictive, but if you backfire through the carb and burn the filter up, it will suck all of burnt crap into the engine. Won't do much, but it can't be good...

I have seen more than a few catch on fire after a backfire though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kamikaZeS30 Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 This was my approach to air delivery and clearance issues. Also helps me retain the aesthetic of my more "traditional" "tuner" roots. Sorry about the lighting, it was taken on a friend's cell-phone. But, you get the idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
