check out my cage. i havent updated in a little while because im out of money and in school right now. it sucks. but the cage i think is good. keep in mind im also adding on that S13 subframe.

Ya ive been kinda busy (and lazy) lately. Not a whole lot has gotten done. I have drilled the mounts and cleaned up the subframe. I also cut out the original subframe and made my own bracing. Ill get some better, more detail pictures soon because i have the suspension dropped for drilling. but i did put up 3 new ones that you can see most of it.

hey mull check out my pictures that cradle i beleive is almost the exact same as the S13 multilink one im putting on. it should give you a little insight as to the mounting. looking good though!

lol i like the vash the stampede outline on the hood

i find it amusing that people think that tightening them up tighter than spec makes them better.

thats what i was thinking. thanks for your input. has anyone tried to implement the throttle body in the middle of a custom intake for our motors?

i was thinking, what if the intake manifold had longer runners towards the front and they gradually got shorter towards the rear. would this give you a variation of the higher revving flow capabilities of long runners and the low end flow of short runners? or would this just create turbulence? would it be good for turbo? NA? and another thing, what if you could have a throttle body at both ends of the intake manifold, so the rear 3 cylinders get equal air at the exact same time as the front 3. you could run pipes around to the front and tie them together. to do this there would be sharp bends in the intake tubing coming from the rear throttle body. so instead i guess could you route one from the cowl and one from the front with equal length tubing and teach megasquirt to read 2 MAF sensors? im guessing that this would be more work than its worth but i was just thinking. I havent taken my thermodynamics or fluid transfer courses yet so im not sure. If you all are not sure of what im talking about ill make a picture of both ideas. Paul

you dirty, dirty man... im jealous! i would definately pick that up too.

if your looking for light wheels, go magnesium. unless ure fine with buying new sets every couple of months, i wouldnt use the mags on the street. do not use carbon fiber wheels, listen to what everyone is saying.

i used an S13 Non-HICAS check out my pictures. im not totally done with it, its whats been taking me the longest on my car because i want to make sure its right. all i have left to do is drill the front mounts for it, and weld up plates to strengthen them.

ya he runs like 8.9s in the 8th mile. hes got it about at 15 lbs and propane injection. thats pretty damn fast for a truck.

i think this engine has potential but i believe it needs a lot of work before it actually gets ready to run with a load on it. i doubt anything is going to come of this engine in terms of a complete revolutionary motor, but hopefully some of the ideas and can be incorporated into current motors.

can you do a little drawing of what you are planning? im pretty sure i know what you mean but i just want to make sure, i might be able to help you.

get all the z's and restore them all! we can't let them be taken!!!! lol. thats what i did with mine, mine was definately crusher material. (just make sure to have a few years handy) lol. are their front fenders in decent shape?

it is cool what your doing, but you could just use a nice digital voltmeter.

thats all im saying, is just to vent it appropriately =) . im not sure where people came up with the idea to put a breather filter on here. i put one on my maxima about 2 yrs ago and it ran like crap, and smelled like oil. lol. just vent it to intake.

sounds like something with fuel or spark. not a hundred percent though. either that or timing. its kinda wierd that in park it doesnt. its not under load so it wouldnt be as noticeable. first thing to do is check the spark plugs, see if they fire, oil on them, etc. then check the rest. its prob not fuel unless your carb is in real bad need of tuning.

the pcv valve in a perfect world creates a vacuum environment in the valve cover. ive read a writeup on this that i couldnt find (ill post it if i can). objects in a vacuum can move a lot more freely than in atmosphere so you want to vent this thing into either the intake or the exhaust. the latter being the better of the two because at WOT the intake no longer acts as a vacuum. as you will notice though, most stock applications will vent into the intake because its easier. (most of the time). ive seen tons of people just vent it to open air though, but i would vent it to exhaust. if you vent it to intake make sure you install a little catch can. but whatever you do. do NOT plug the vent, your valve gasket will most likely fail.

ditto on that man, his parts look good but a few people have said they dont get the parts and hes irresponsible or something to that effect. post wanted ads for them on here and people should send you offers.

that sounds good, but your not going to be able to find a minimal work car that just needs a motor for only 500. if you can, thats awesome and do it. look very closely for rust and cracks and everything that could be a problem, because it will. =)

did you already source the new ones? you can get rebuild kits for those for under 15 dollars. I dont even know what the hell im doing and i did it right. lol.

i say its a deal, if you got to take a dump on his chest. =)

samsung a920. ya i was impressed with em too thanks =)

lol, ya id rather have some taller jack stands but the truth is the rear weight of the car is actually on the front two the way i have it set up. i just have these rearmost two there to keep the frame from flexing at all since all this crap is being cut out of it. if i wanted i can remove these 2 rears without offbalancing it. besides that tho man, how does it look?

one question though. how could you get tired of zcars? lol. ive almost gone through more emotions with my car than i have with my 3 year gf. =) (little exaggeration)
