I think I'd go with Suspension Techiques and HP's

I vaguely remember a movie about street/roadracers out in LA that had a Z in it - I remember someone saying - "that's a Z", referring to a car running Mullholland Dr. Don't remember a movie with a flock of Z's chasing someone tho....

You could also use a hall sensor (PALLNET makes a mount for one) and put magnets in the back of the dampner....What I will be doing.

Well, the stock engines do fine with simultaneous squirts - not the BEST for emissions, but still fine. Depending on injector size, alternating can work - especially if you go to 2 injections per cycle.

I liked all the cool war toys: Bazookas, Mortars, Okinawa Guns (stuff that would lob projectiles) - we'd stage battles all day long. The grenades that you put caps in, the whole nine yards. GI Joes were for pu$$ies. When dad was in town, he helped us build bunkers and tanks, when he didn't take me hunting...

We're talking about idling now, and yes, sequential would ideally be the way to go in order to be most efficient and less emissions. But at higher rpms, the injectors are open longer than the valves anyway so it makes much less difference. I agree messing with the injector open time setting, alternating and 2 squirts will net you a bit, but if the injector is large enough, you'd be better off with simultaneous - as long as you have the fuel pump necessary to keep the pressure up!

I live just outside the city of Marietta on the NE side. Someone in my neighborhood used to work in Roswell, and the commute was about 30 mins in the morning and up to an hour in the evening.

I personally don't like KYB's, I prefer the HP's, which I have on my '75. I have Eibach's and Illuminas on my '83ZXT.

Let me think here: Alternating is set up to fire one injector driver, then the other. Simultaneous is fire both at the same time. Up to you to determine which cylinders on which injector driver. May not make much difference, as at high speeds the injectors are on a lot longer than the valve is open. Alternating will keep fuel pressure steadier. Minimum of 2 pulses per cycle. As I read it, if you are using large injectors (high boost turbo), you are probably better off with simultaneous and 1 squirt per cycle. This keeps the idle pulse as width as small as possible, where alternating with 2 pulses per cycle could be too much fuel at idle. So Turbo'd w/large injectors may need simultaneous and 1 pulse per cycle. Any normally aspirated engine should be better off with alternating and at least 2 pulses per cycle, providing you don't have too large an injector. Turbo'd engines with slightly larger injectors/lower boost would fall in the same category as NA engines. Is there anything wrong with this thinking?

2+2 ttops are bigger than the 2 seater...

Tjanks for the update Mike - didn't want to ask.... Hope the recovery goes well. Give my regards to your lovely wife - and tell her I got a new pair of shoes!

At least it's not as butt ugly as the Baja - what was the idea with those big honking lights below the headlights anyway? They should have recessed 'em - probably gone rectangular. Subaru has always been a bit odd...

If you don't need that spacer, I could use it for a T5 to auto conversion I am doing on my '83ZXT.... I've sent a PM... Thanks, Brad

I only run 18-19 " vacuum with a stock good compression ZXT - with a 2mm head gasket, the vac would probably be a bit lower. When does boost start to build when accelerating in 2nd gear?

Don't you mean "BRRR"? How's it goin' up there Garrett?

Since he's using the stock ecu/afm, no adjustment needed - if he were running speed density - definitely! I still think it is the afm to turbo boot - any hybrid I've seen you have to cut the boot back to enlarge the opening, and to do that you have to cut the spring. My car acted EXACTLY like he is saying - after you're off idle and accelerating you didn't know there was a problem....

Christoc: Sorry, just got back into town and my camera is chargine..... The J pipe is attached using the front hole on the bracket itself There are 3 bosses for attaching brackets to the intake on the edge of the intake manifold - these are all in line. The middle boss is where mine is attached. This is actually located just rearward of the bright manifold vacuum tap (which onmy car goes to the fuel pressure regulator) in your picture (but at the edge of the intake). I was out of town on business and had to stay longer than expected. Hope this helps....

Good call Mario - I remember that under boost, the manual says the ECU goes into open loop mode, reading from the tables...

I'm out of town right now - thank GOD for wireless internet.... I wouldn't worry about bolting it to the intake as much as getting a good seal at the turbo and the TB. It looks like the J pip needs to be rotated a bit and moved a bit toward the fender in order to line up properly. I'm heading home this a-noon, so can get a pic posted tomorrow - maybe tonite - depends on if there's enuf light when I get back....

Check to make sure that the boot from your AFM to turbo is not split. (assuming you are using stock ZXT setup) When I had my T3/T4 installed (living in a condo - no place to work), the Z shop that did the work had to trim the boot. When they did it, they cut the spring inside the boot that keeps it from collapsing too far back, and I developed a split in that area - on the underside where it wasn't obvious! A trip to a Z yard got another for $25, and I did it the correct way - no problems now.

The screws go through the grills....

I've had 4 of 'em for years and love 'em!

I'll measure my box tomorrow for you - I wouldn't put great speakers behind the seats - you're only using them for "fill" - most of the highs go away because they're mounted so low and aimed at your butt...I used some 6.5" Pioneer co-ax's and have been more than happy. Of course, my system is more for quality than quantity - loud enough is able to hear everything wih the t-tops off at speed!

If you want, I can measure the 1.75 cu ft box I had made for my '83ZXT that holds a single 12" Kicker Competition. I mounted the amp for it, along with a stiffening cap and cd changer to it.
