  1. I don't have a 240, but I do have a 280zx thats a really good daily driver. You interested?
  2. I think that the chrome one matches better, but that clear one is trick!
  3. I think you're talking about the right plate. It's the two plates that you welded to the square tubing. I picked up the plates that the JTR manual says, and they are THICK. Thanks for the info.
  4. 80LT1, how think was your plate for those engine mounts?
  5. Are there any kind of identifying marks on the trailer? If I see a black trailer somewhere, I don't want to jump to conclusions and be wrong about this. I'm not someone who knows difference's between trailers, or even what company's make them.
  6. Zguy, First off, your right. He does need more evidence to back up his claim. And that's the exact reason he's here, talking about it, trying to get more inputs to see if it's right or wrong. He never said(in is extremely long post:mrgreen:) that "his equation/anamoly" was right. I was hoping to help a little, but my resource doesn't have anything on turbo/supercharged engines. I wish you the best in this journey Kevin, and will post anything that I come across that might further your endevor.
  7. I've been looking on craigslist over here in San Diego, haven't seen anything. This whole thing really sucks. I'm a joker myself, and when I cross the line by trying to lighten a situation with a joke that nobody finds funny, I know the best thing to do is just apologize and move on. Not try to justify myself, just kinda makes things worst. If anybody has any other ideas of places to look online for where this @$$hole might try to unload that beautiful car, let me know. I hope things work out for that guy.
  8. Kevin, Do the articles in the mag have to be about turbo/supercharged engines? I flipped through it, and none of them are.
  9. Kevin, I just read your post, and I'll look at my mag, which I think is an "engine masters", and should have another post tomorrow sometime. I'm glad to help out anyone who has a new equation that might pan out. It's kinda cool when you think about it, at the cusp of discovery, finding a new way to do something. I wouldn't use this until a real answer is found, but since I didn't win the lottery this year, and hence, am not going to buy every engine piece I can think of(still dreaming of that moment), I would use little equations to see what piece's might work best for my budget. I say go for it, and the nay-sayers should read rule #6. I hope I'm not pissing anybody off with this, I really do enjoy this site.
  10. Thats really messed up(to put it nicely). I hope he gets it back, and puts those a-holes away!
  11. I like the idea of the possibility of a new math equation. I say keep trying it out until it is proven true or false. All the different variables that could effect it, also effect every other equation used to guess HP, or whatever, even a dyno. I understand that one would use this for an engine that's not built, or is in the process of building(i.e. trying to pick the right parts). So if one cylinder has 14.7 pounds of A.P. in it, then a turbo with 1 psi of boost would then douple the A.P. in the cylinder? The question seems to be, is that a reliable way to estimate HP gain, A.P.(14.7) x psi? That might be common knowledge that I don't know(very possible:redface:), or is this the "anamoly" that your trying to see if it plays out? If you want, I have a couple engine building mags, I can flip through them and see if they have any builds with the numbers you need for this. Just let me know if your down for that.
