Would a larger capacity oil pan do the same thing as the accusump? Also, what did you do for forward crash protection?

bump. Still looking for a set of used headers. This is going on a lemons car so anything will work if it flows better than stock...

I've been reading and researching the L28. I am putting together a car for LeMons and am wanting to see what you guys think about this motor build. I want to keep the car N/A and want to just pep the motor up a bit. I'm thinking I should go with the Maxima N47 Head with a set of flat top pistons and a mild cam. I have a full machine shop and can unshroud the valves myself on my seat and guide machine. I am also looking for a set of headers that will free up the exhaust a little bit. Once that's all done, I'm wondering if Megasquirt will be enough to get the fuel system up to par. Will I need larger injectors? The motor won't be too radical with those upgrades but it should make it a little more fun to drive on the track. I've never built an L28 before as I went straight to an LT1 when I bought my Z several years ago. I just wanted to see what you guys thought. I know there are a lot of experienced people here who know plenty about the L28. Please let me know your thoughts! Thank you!

PM sent. Still looking for all my options.

I am looking for a set of flat top pistons for a mild street L28 build. I also need a set of headers. Thanks a lot guys!

I'm building a light performance N/A engine and want to find a rebuild-able Maxima N47 cylinder head. Please let me know if you have one or know where to find one. Thanks!

I just bought another project Z. This one I'm going to get ready to race in the Lemons series races. The car I bought is a 4 speed and the transmission that was in my LT1 Z was a 4 speed also. Please let me know if anyone can help! Thanks!

I will say that you really need to be careful at this point and make sure you can find rubber for the wheels your getting. It's very difficult to find rubber for that wide of a tire on a 16" wheel. I was told early on when buying my wheels that 16" wheels would perform better, but it was really hard to find tires for 16x12 wheels. So, check into the tires real fast and make sure that won't change anything before you go a whole lot further.

Check out http://diamondracingwheels.com/drwcustom.html They make steel racing wheels and will make them with custom bolt patterns and offsets. I thought about getting some from them and probably still will in the future for track use. I bought Kodiak racing wheels recently which are very pricey. It's very difficult to find wheels with the deep offsets and 4 lug bolt pattern. Look through the products on the website and give them a call and they'll help you out. The diamond wheels are very reasonably priced although, they don't look all that great. Very plain wheels but very functional.

17x12 and 17x9 3-piece Kodiak Racing Wheels Finally got them in after 6 months of waiting. I've already got adjustable coilovers. I just had some rubbing issues so it's raised way up so I can get it fixed. I'll lower it back down when those issues are resolved. Yay! More body work!!!

They are completely 2 way.

I KNOW that they can handle up to 500 hp. From what I've read in the forums they have proven to handle up to 750 hp (yell at me if I'm wrong) but the halfshafts aren't strong enough. I think Modern Motorsports has a CV joint upgrade that solves that problem.

It looks like the same story on the R180's. If I have enough people ask about them I may try to order some. I didn't sell alot of them before when I was doing this so I'll probably start with the R200 units first.

This is the reply I recieved from the Sales executive concerning the factory being "destroyed". "Hi Larkin, Thanks so much for your help this afternoon. I'd like you to make sure everything is still ok in Japan. What I'm hearing from some of the customers is that the factory in Japan had problems during an earthquake last year an lost everything. They have told me that these units aren't available any more since the factory wasn't going to re-tool the factory for these units. Is that true? Apparently this is what a few people heard from Reider Racing last year. Thanks alot!" "From what I am hearing, there are no delays with any of the factories that we are using. I am being told that these are ready to be ordered and manufactured. Larkin Wood II lwood@omix-ada.com Sales Executive Omix-Ada, Inc."
