Cool!

Sorry for the way off topic, but I couldn't resist... I don't think he'll mind, so here's some triple-SU candy for you, built by Steve Epperly (ZTherapy)... . . In my opinion, there are many welding projects that you could perform on your Z... the Weber's are a large waste of your time.

46lbs on my precision calibrated Walgreen bathroom scale. M16x1.5x32mm For what you're doing... I'll stand on the 5th for the remainder.

With no more data than that, the only response I can give is the advice of a good friend... "Always build as much displacement as you can afford".

Ah heck John, you need a bigger turbo anyway... maybe one with the snazy V-bands??? LOL

Lokar throttle cables usually work well for that purpose. Search Summit or Jegs. I'm not ZX savvy but... I'll bet, if you use the search feature, you'll find your answer

This can be true with the popular MAF/AFM, or speed density systems (MAP). Alpha-N solves this problem by using only TPS (for load) and RPM. This can be a favorable solution with aggressive cams. Even the OEM's have used it successfully. The biggest problem with Alpha-N is that it won't work in a boosted application. That left some of the aftermarket systems with the chore of designing a 'blended' system. This allows you to run Alpha-N to a predetermined threshold, then MAP of MAF from there.

Chemicalblue, Braap is correct... I have used them on an L6. Well, sort of... I used the truck version (per the linked picture) They're electrically identical. The difference is in the orientation of the HT and LT leads. They are on the same side for the LS1 but opposite sides for the truck model. I'm not certain of your application, but if you're looking at the L6, I prefer the truck coils for that reason. Dave's price is great... I can't beat that. If you're looking for truck coils, I might be able to get you a set in the $20-$22 range. PM me if you need them.

Due to request's, the head flange dimensions... Radiuses (expressed in dia.)... PM me for 'full size', easier to read prints if needed. Caution: I take no responsibility for the success of these drawings. There are many header configurations available and its simply impossible for me to account for all of them. Use these prints as a guide.

Pete, Coils, as you guessed are 2000 Chev. Suburban. Electrically the same as LS1 coils, just re-oreinted LT port. 'Dumb' ignitors are built in. Wolf directly drives them via 5v logic. They saturate in approx. 5.6 to 5.8 ms.

This is why I said its valid to a "point" Its importance is arguable and largley dependant on the particular engine, its use, and circimstances.

No worries, Mate. I just got the feeling you were misunderstanding my intentions and I wanted to clarify them. Nothing more. Have a Merry Christmas.

One of the current projects is a pair of L6 intake manifolds. One of them is for Clint Barnts and his beautiful 280z. The other is for an anonymous 240z owner... . . . . The completed plenum shape will resemble this red outline... . . Runner ID is 1.5”. Length, for this manifold, is 6”. After testing, a decision will be made on lengthening/shortening them on the second manifold. A Wolf3D EMS will be installed along with a 6-coil Denso ignition system... . . . There is still a large portion of work to be done, along with a couple of necessary adjustments. I’m expecting to test late March or April. Pending favorable test results and enough interest, I may build a small batch of them. I’ll try to update the progression periodically.

If you think this is my point, you’re misunderstanding me. My opinion doesn’t soley revolve around 'cheaper' or 'lessor'. The following is for clarification... 1) Electromotive makes a damn fine ignition. I have used it and would use it again... but its not the 'Best'. There’s no such thing. It doesn’t exist. 2) Its possible my $90 coil per plug system is better. Its also possible that it is not. If it is equivalent, I saved several hundred dollars. 3) There are many people that believe Capacitive Discharge (CD) is superior to inductive (Electromotive and every production car on the planet). There are many studies that allude to CD’s dominance. However, CD is also quite expensive, commonly $2000 to $4000. 4) The biggest limitation with wasted spark ignitions, like Electromotive, is the lack of ability to taylor the timing map for each cylinder. For a 600hp 2-Liter, this is a valuable feature. 5) Different combustion chambers favor different ignition types. What works well on a 2-valve bathtub chamber is not necessarily the best for a 4-valve pent-roof... or vice-versa. 6) These choices have the potential to be superior to Electromotive. Some cost more, some cost less. In summary, my opinion is that its nice to be able to choose a system that fits your specific application and budget. This is my philosophy and Wolfs. Some systems are clearly better than others... but there is no 'Best'.

Hi Pete, I did that thing I told you I don't do.... I mounted one in the plenum I put it right behind the TB (in the bottom), with no insulator. I decided to try this for the following reasons... 1) The car has ceramic coated headers and intake manifold. I'm hoping this reduces the peak heat soak temperatures it see's during extended light loads. 2) I'm also thinking locating it at the inlet would do a couple things, due to getting 6 cylinders worth of air at all times (instead of 2 or 3 at times). This should also help lower the peak heat soak temperature a bit and it *should* cool it down to 'reality' much faster. 3) if I'm wrong, a simple 'plug and relocate' is all it will take to 'fix' it. I'll let you know how it works out.

I'm not sure what it is or what its for.... but I'm sure I don't need one

Splitting hairs, methinks There are people that would disagree. Wolfs philosophy all along has been centered around flexibility... the guy that doesn't need a whiz-bang ignition system isn't forced into buying one, and the guy thats building the 'ultimate whatever' isn't stuck with wasted spark or inductive technology. Maybe a guy wants individual cylinder timing. Maybe a guy wants to 'grow' into the system because his budget won't go the whole route at once, so he starts with the stock distributor and over the years he can grow into better, etc, etc, etc. Like I mentioned previously its an arguable topic. Both perogatives have merit. There is no right or wrong answer and, more importantly, there is no 'best'.

A quick search revealed these... happy reading. http://forums.hybridz.org/showthread.php?t=115937&highlight=%22air+temp%22+iat http://forums.hybridz.org/showthread.php?t=107628&highlight=%22air+temp%22+iat http://forums.hybridz.org/showthread.php?t=105195&highlight=%22air+temp%22+iat
