Thanks Mat, put me down for 2 as well!!

Nice run, I was a little worried in the beginning, but once you got into gear and let the turbo do the work, all was good!!

Excellent pump. Scottie ran one on his GNZ and it now resides in my 2JZ 240z. The one we had was a different model # and good for 1000 hp EFI. It is a little loud though, louder than the Walbro GSL392 I ran in my 77 280z turbo.

I was tinking about those for my daily!! Are you able to use the stock mounting location, or do you have to remove the supports and mount them lower? I guess I should ask, "How did you mount them?" thanks in advance, Mike

I prefer to tune for 11.5-11.8 :1 on a high boost turbo car, n/a I believe you can get up around 14:1 and still be safe, hopefully the LS1 guys who have had their cars on a dyno can chime in to verify.

I think someone said that they used the Pathfinder slave... just something to look into as I have not tried it myself

I just bought the rear set yesterday!! I pieced together my front set last year and saved only ~$75 when all was said and done. If I had to do it again, I would just buy the new set outright from Dave. Good choice BTW.

Surprisingly the 77 280 tranny I had in my L28 turbo Z lasted longer than any of the 81-83 zx trannys that I tried. I realy liked the gearing of the later tranny, but the early one lasted longest (for me anyway). BTW, way to represent out there in Houston!!

Beautiful car!!

I agree w/ Sparky... but I used the Painless Wiring version instead... Also, you don't have any concerns about 30 year old wiring as well...

Cyrus, you have your car apart again? Stiffening the chassis I suspect

I have a BHJ 2 belt damper w/ the electromotive (haltech, or any other system using the 60-2 wheel) installed, that I bought last year, prior to getting away from the L-motor. It was a pricey piece $500+ with the trigger wheel already installed by them. It's still new in box and is tentatively sold to a board member, but no money has exchanged hands yet, so I am keeping my options open...

Actually, it V's over the guide on both front and back sides ... I wonder why you would not want to direct the air around the valve and guide (not having the apex in front of the valve as well...)

You can also try http://turbohoses.com/ Hoover is a Z guy from way back and has taken good care of us turbo guys in the past. Also, while you are on the site, you can check out a a couple of pics of his 240z in the projects/customer's cars page.

Just thought I would attach a couple of in progress pictures of Jim Langdon's (Dover Cylinder Head here in Orlando) portwork ... (note bowls haven't been touched yet). My intake manifold and gasket will be raised slightly to give a 'straighter' flow angle into the combustion chamber. Also note the 'V-shape' around the valve guides to allow better flow. Here are a couple of photos of one of the intake ports under construction... http://album.hybridz.org/showphoto.php?photo=6029&cat=500&size=big&ppuser=7981

Welcome, and lookin good!!

cool I was wondering where it was, I'm ready to update mine

Then you either have an early pulley which had the timing marks on the driver's side of the block (my 71 240z did), or the outer pulley may have spun on the inner pulley (happened to me in my turbo car).

Easiest way is to pull off the rear cover and read the numbers off of the ring gear. My 3.36 gearset has the numbers 37:11 stamped into it. You divide the numbers 37/11 and it comes out to 3.363636...

Awesome find and it will be truly an original!!

That was sweet!! What a sleeper!!

Doesn't look too bad to use as a turbo cam... maybe could use a little wider lobe seperation ~114 or so, but it should work fine. Doesn't look like much overlap either...
