thanks for the info Bastaad, What is an RRFPR , also what is a BOV boost controller and what kind of intercooler are you using. Are you running the T5 with the 4.90 rearend. what kind of 0-60 times are you getting are you getting? I totally jonesing for a turbo build up now... damn that horse power drug! Rock on Z people! Matt- P.S. I have the Just S.Us dvd from Z therapy, and I pretty much checked all the other stuff you said so timming is the onlyl thing left... I hope!

DAMN bastaad 525, I need your engine... I also have the engine run-on and I think im running 12 degrees advance timing. I'll try the 8 degrees... How much did it cost you to build up your turbo? did you use a stock ZX turbo setup and if so what kind of mods did you do to it (cause there's no way you left it stock .... it's not in our nature). I'm thinking about putting a turbo in my 240... I like my engine but I want that 300+ ft/LB of the magical torque:twisted:. rock on Z people!

yes stock timing seems to work great .... if you want to know if your two far advanced just put it in 5th at 20mph and floor it ... if it pings ... retard it... if not ... advance it till it does ping, then back it off till it doesn't thats your best timing about 12degrees I think Rock on Z people!~

I have that same exact build up! I had my F54 block bord over .20thou. I calculated my comression ratio at about 9.92:1 so I used an HKS head gasket its a 2mm head gasket that reduces my CR to 9.2:1 so I can use 91 oct. The F54 block is stronger but it wont make a difference on a NA engine ... it is a good Idea for turbo or 3.1 stroker engines but I don't think it would make any kind of difference on a NA engine. most important ballance your rotating mass. crank, rods, pistons, rings, flywheel, clutch plate, belt pully. It cost a little bit of money but it makes for a smooth high reving engine ... mine reves up to 7K easy, and Im running SU's. I still haven't dynoed the engine so I have no idea what the RWHP is but I did smoke a 2002 camero SS ... I think I scarred him when I "cherped" my tires in second gear:twisted:. Good luck with your build up and let me know if you have any questions. Rock on Z People

If your back three arn't getting fuel, check the nozzel on your rear carb to see if its cloged. That happend to me once ... I bought an "SU" carb rebuild kit and it came with fuel lines that go from the float bowl to the nozzel. Well they would have worked great if it would have been fuel line... It was some kind of stupid wind sheild wiper line the gas totally disinegrated the inside of the line and pluged up the nozzel. I don't know if that will help but thats where I would check.
