240Z Turbo

I believe it is the same specs as a GT4042R. Unfortunately, Garrett does not sell such a combination. I would opt to use a straight up GT42R with the smaller 1.01 a/r turbine housing. I sold one to TimZ for his L and I have one for my RB26 powered 240sx. I have sold a few turbochargers to folks in AU and NZ. Contact me when you are ready as I can easily beat your pricing.

Yes

Just some update pics of changes made to the TwinTurbo ZR1. This is the new intercooler piping.

I believe that is the way GOD intended a turbo header for an L-series to look. Makes me want a fairlady Z so I can fabricate a header for a GT42R. Hands down the coolest header I have seen in the L.

Dave Andrews, That is one sweet setup you have for the turbocharger. I guess there are some advantages to a fairlady Z. Do you have any more pics of your turbo header? I am very impressed.

Very nice and glad to see someone taking the extra step to cnc those runners. Staying true to a helmholtz resonator, I do believe you should not have the plenum connect more than 4-5 cylinders, otherwise those principles do not hold. I don't think you will have any trouble with your design and you should see some nice gains. BTW, make sure to use 1/8" and not 0.090" for the plenum if it is to be boxed.

Indeed...Just FYI

According to my distributor those are not made by Garrett.

The HKS GT2540R is smaller than what Joel has.

Does a butt dyno require the insertion of any type of special sensor?

Hmmm, I recently paid big bucks for the Carillo's.

Those rods look too long to be RB. When I spoke with Eagle earlier this year they had no RB26 rods.

Tim forgot to tell you he has a GT42R waiting to be installed this winter. Suppoorts ~200hp more hp than the T64. Should see 575-600hp@wheels when all is said and done. Nice number!

~$0.02 You know I couldn't resist

Contact me, I will hook you up. Do you want the 600hp or 800hp dampner? BTW, I went with Carillo rods. A bit more pricey, but supposedly stronger. Also, takes a good bit of time if they are not in stock.

ebay right now http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/HKS-To4-Flange-Ex-Wastegage-Manifold-RB20det-RB25det_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ33632QQitemZ8010904998QQrdZ1

I can't claim to be high hp because the motor is still being developed. I went with the Nismo Oil pump and opted to have Endyne evaluate it for further modifications. From their experience with Honda motors they state a main reason for pump failure is the lack of a good dampner. Typical pump rework consists of evaluating gear tolerances, maching gears if necessary, porting oil passages and lowering spring pressure if flow is increased. As far as RB Motoring having motors fail I would venture to say there may be another cause besides faulty head design. Matt, can you chime in and give us your thoughts on failure due to improper oiling?

Nice numbers! I guess you found a few more horsies after we spoke. A bit of further tweeking and 500hp@wheels is doable. I think the current tune, auto tranny and 75shot of nitrous would make for ~140mph in the 1/4. BTW, you know you need a driveshaft for the new setup?

Went to Dallas this week for a program meeting and took a few hours to visit Endyne to check on the progress of my engine. I had sent him my good head and a spare head to practice with various port configurations. Larry appeared to have finished 3 separate port configurations as well as combustion chamber modifications and valve seat configurations. Current flow on intake port is 307cfm. I have given him permission to cut the head to check wall thickness to continue to develop the port. Shooting for 350cfm on the intake ports. The exhaust ports were not as far along as the intake side. It was interesting to see some of the Honda stuff that he gets 380cfm on the intake ports and 320cfm on the exhaust ports. Ahhh, if only they had an I6 version of that motor!!!! I am not in a huge rush as I want his thing to be done correctly with no expense spared so I can make an honest/reliable 750hp@wheels. Will keep you updated.

Please contact me when you are in town. Phone number is listed on my website. http://www.speedshopthagard.com

You realize that ATI Performance products sells the tranny adapter which includes and SFI Approved Flexplate and you can also purchase their custom 8" race converter. I opted to go with the turbo 350 with my setup which should arrive next week. What is the scoop regarding the 2JZ lifters(buckets)? Any info is appreciated.
