  1. jeffp wins the HybridZ Necroposter award! Last post was on Sept 20, 2000! http://forums.hybridz.org/showthread.php?t=65113
  2. Problem still exists I take it? Fuel pressure is dropping on a fuel pressure gauge under WOT conditions? If so, then it sounds like the pump.
  3. As for the VG "pump up" I recommend searching the forum, the "Nissan V6" section in particular. There are some good VG performance mods covered there. You may want to read these two threads from the "New Members" section. Will help keep the staff from coming down on you in the future for your post structure. http://forums.hybridz.org/showthread.php?t=131518 http://forums.hybridz.org/showthread.php?t=139501
  4. Yes it will "mount" to it, but it wont bolt directly to it. Closest "bolt" up manual trans for the VH45DE is the '90-'99 Z32 5 speed, and even that requires an adaptor. Hope that helps, Paul
  5. There is NO turbo! http://forums.hybridz.org/showthread.php?t=136397 The mention of 20-PSI is the fuel pressure, not manifold AIR pressure. He is using GM throttle-body fuel injectors which typically run 11-13 PSI fuel pressure, that is now ramped up to 20 PSI and strategically hidden under the SU carb bells! caen fred's engine;
  6. Looking for L-series lash pads as used with “other than stock” camshafts. Stock lash pads are .120” thick and have dish on the bottom, those I do not need. I need lash pads that are flush on the bottom and vary in thickness from .150”-.340”. In particular, I am looking for lash pads in the .160-.260” range. If you have ANY lash pads that are flush on bottom, (not dished), let me know via PM, pics and thickness measurement a plus. Thank you, Paul
  7. I am not Wiki-D, but I think I can help shed some light on this subject. Keep in mind, Fuel Injection is just another means in which to introduce fuel to the air that the engine is ingesting. Carburetors serve the same purpose. As such, the engine doesn’t care how the fuel is being fed to the air stream. When building power, regardless if the engine is carbonated or fuel injected, using the same intake manifold, exhaust etc, the cam specs for EFI and carbureted will be the same. A change in the intake manifold design would change ideal cam specs for the desired operation, but “how” the fuel is being introduced wont require a different cam spec. EFI spec, when it comes to camshafts is generally code for "Emissions compliant” and “will sometimes play well with the factory EFI tune"! You are using aftermarket EFI, as such you have full control over the fuel map and if performance is what you desire without having to meet tail pipe emissions, then stay away from cams that are specced for EFI applications because if there is a difference in the grind, it wont be in the favor of building power vs a comparable carb cam. Hope that helps, Paul
  8. Clive, Was it the address? Did it make it to Oregon? Any how, just let me know when its on the way again. Thanks, Paul
  9. Looks good! I imagine it runs as good as it looks.
  10. These should help explain a little bit... http://www.answers.com/topic/aerodynamics http://www.tonyfoale.com/Articles/Aerodynamics/AERO.htm http://www.aerospaceweb.org/question/aerodynamics/q0215.shtml
  11. Ok guys, Back on the off topic, if you know what I mean?...
  12. DEWD! That is gorgeous! I didn't read it, just looked at the pics first page! Didn't know you were an aviation buff? :2thumbs:

     

    Thanks for the link

  13. Aaron, Tear down looks good. Chey is definitely in her element. Maybe she would to do the surfacing on the milling machine? Let her set it up, and run the handles... the .5 on the pistons means those pistons are a 1/2 mm larger diameter, .020" oversize. Engine has been rebuilt. The .006 means the last shop that surfaced the head removed .006" during surfacing.
  14. Threads are Metric and not pipe threads. For some reason 10mm x 1mm rings a bell, but I'm not 100% sure of that.
  15. You’ll have to start at page 1 of this thread and read through it to find out the details. Be sure you aren’t drinking a carbonated beverage cause it WILL come out your nose at some point, maybe more than once… Oh, I almost forgot…
  16. "Negative GhostRider!... The pattern is full!" More to the point, the staff doesn't trust you with that much power!
