  1. Yes and it's not too bad of a swap, you will have to search for it. I like the look of the body ideas, minus the hood emblem;)
  2. No seat belt, not bouncing enough. Very funny, however, I think it is fake.
  3. I'm running a 240 on my na 83zx with no problems I got the beck arnely clutch assmbly from shuck/orilly, perfect fit. Stock 240 flywheel.
  4. My brother, running 10:1 in a b16a broke ring lands in 2 pistons. He was with a great tuner and did a couple of street pulls for a tune and pooof! Those were forged. He currently is running in the neighborhood of 9:1 with some ls pistons that are ceramic coated, (as a Christmas gift from me), and has dynoed 350 and is the longest running engine he has had to date. Burnt his fingers seeing how well that coating works, tee hee. I know there is some disagreement on coatings, however, I BELIEVE! Seen some increadable "saves". This is why I will stick with flat tops, P79 block, ceramic coat two, and meth with no intercooler. I will consider running the head cooling by drilling the water jacket.
  5. I Break Kleen the heck out of everything. I buy more then I need and use tons of it, plus shop paper towels. For some reason I hate leaks, cars, plumbing and my self.....
  6. Its okay... I just spent a year and I only just yesterday got it to say all OK for the first time. I didn't have washer fluid and It seems like I had to put coolant into an extra reservoir which seemed stupid, but I just wanted to try to get the red light to go away finally. Oh boy.....
  7. ^^ Similar as above. I spread it on both sides, bearly make them hand tight and let set up over nite and hit them the next morning. Never had an auto pan leak.
  8. Right on! Congrats! Hope you have fun!
  9. True, however, since the methanol is only exposed to aluminum in vapor form during run cycles (spirited, not cruising) I would have a tendency to believe it would be very minimal. If not unmentionable. When I do my build I will be doing ceramic coating as well. This is for a meth injection kit, not running meth or ethanol 100%. IE injected with a regular running engine with gas. You can use windshield fuild, for a roughly a 49/51 mix. http://forums.corral.net/forums/showthread.php?t=966584
  10. http://forums.hybridz.org/showthread.php?t=141036&highlight=wrenchrat It's weird, and your probably correct. Their are many threads concerning detonation problems, very in depth and intriguing, yet meth injection is spoke of rarely. And when mentioned it just kinda gets pushed aside. Not much of a problem just strange. The link posted speaks well to how effective it can be. For your goals, you will not see too much of a differnce in cams. Somewhere I had a chart showing cams of all the different engines, there was not that much diffence in the specs. (at least nothing that jumped out at you)
  11. My p79's have exhaust liners. Great stuff guys. I will be building a flat top/p90 with no intercooler and meth injection, edis and standalone......someday. Me gots lots of parts, money just gose to family. I do have a rusty zx in my driveway now for my build, probaly going to give my nice zx to wifey, she loves it so.
  12. Good find, however, you are going to have to search that. TONS of threads on that!
  13. Juuusssst a bit rich, always someone soooo smart out there;)
  14. What are some of your goals? What car is? Full restoration? Ballpark hp? Having a shop rebuild an engine, and do a great job, gets dicy. (not to mention expensive) The only guys I would trust are on this site.
  15. Its easy to get the car lurching and your foot will move in sympathy with the lurch and just make things worse. A terrible vicious circle to make anyone embarrassed! Can be solved by crushing the go pedal, or getting off it completely, I like the first solution. (just to save face)
  16. Without a sound to help, I would say rod. You might want to pull the pan and inspect.
  17. Search compression tests. WOT, when testing.
  18. Lot of hoses back there, they may need to be checked. The knee panel switch is for a/c to flow to the under dash vents. Mostly I keep it closed.
  19. P90a cam will die in the 79 head. The difference for your goals is really not much of a bother, stick with the 79. 100k on this engine, esp. if cared for, is nothing! One problem you may face in the N/a setup being used for turbo application is the metal inserts in the 79 head. This is a debatable point, however, they help in the transition of gases leaving the combustion chamber so you will want to keep them. Ping will be a little more of an issue with the one point increase in comp ratio. Nothing that a little meth injection can't handle. If your engine is in good shape, 100k or so, don't mess with it, turbo it slowly. Put your money into gauges, wide band, edis or MSD, meth injec and most of all READING! (I know you are, just wanted to throw that out there.) Do a more creative (expensive) engine overhaul when you are more comfortable in the saddle. This is only my opinion, good luck.
  20. Do you recommend I take it to a Nissan dealership? NO! I take it you are not much of a wrench turner? Why not diy?
  21. Well put;). Too political me thinks.
  22. Post up viedo of sounds. Why do you think it sounds like a bearing?
