Challenger

Alright, that works good too. I can just give you the whole thing that bolts onto the steering column. $15?

Ive got one. Hows $15?

Ive got the wiper arms and intermitten wiper box. Hows $10?

Well I was considering that. I think it would be worth while to do on my 78, pretty much plan 2 but with the z31 electronics. http://forums.hybridz.org/index.php?/topic/49087-z31300zx-ecumaf-to-280zxt-swap-guide-1981-supplement/page__p__425643__fromsearch__1#entry425643 I was reading on the z31 swap for the last few days. Looks like Id still need to pick up an extra zxt harness.

To be honest my knowledge of electrical systems isnt there to do megasquirt. Im hoping to gain some knowledge/experience from the harness wiring but I am just not up to megasquirt yet. It will be done in the future though.. hopefully not 5 years though. haha Im hoping to go to 15 psi with the stock compression so I wont be swapping out the cam. I already have the 2+2 clutch, my cars a 2+2. I have the bell FMU as well. Model 2022, (2025 with spring removed). Ill hopefully be turning up the fuel pressure in the next week or so. I also have a walbro 392 255lph so Ill have enough fuel.

Yes, stock electronics. Ill be running in the mid to low teens with the aid of a Begi FMU. So I really dont want to deal with the NA compression. Im intimidated already by tuning the low compression engine. haha

So currenty I have my 81 280zxt which is in running condition. Im doing all of the modifications that Id like to have installed once its in my 78, intercooler, mbc, FMU, fuel pump, etc. All parts are easily switched over. My 78 is being restored and is very close to finished but doesnt have an engine. I have prepped the engine bay to recieve a new engine, rewrapped the engine bay harness so its all looks nice, etc. So heres the question and plan. I have the original 78 engine in the garage. N42 block, n47 head combo in good condition. The 81 turbo is obviously a f54 block, p90 head. I also have a set of 81 turbo pistons from my last turbo car that I parted out. Id like to drive the 81 turbo for the rest of the summer since its all together and the car is fun to mess around with since its beat up and I dont care about how it looks but I want to get as much done on my 78 before school starts again. Heres the two plans... 1) Leave 78 as is and wait to transfer entire engine and wiring who knows when, end of summer, winter, later.. I would have to clean up the block which would take even more time really pushing off ever driving this car. 2) Strip down n42 engine to just block, refresh the block, install turbo pistons, modify for turbo oil feed/return lines, and bolt it up in the car ready go. Purchase extra wiring harness and begin to do wiring for the turbo harness and ecu (I have a spare ecu). This plan would allow me to keep working on the 78 and in a way do the turbo swap while still being able to drive the turbo car and gain experience. I could push off actually transferring over the head and turbo till sometime this fall during school since this would be by far the easiest part of the swap. I would use the turbo pistons since from what I know they have the ring lands lower on the piston to help shield the rings from heat. I suppose Id need to find myself a turbo oil pump as well, but I have alot of the small engine parts left over from my last turbo engine to prep it to work with the turbo system. So this aspect should be pretty trouble free. Im obviously leaning towards option two but please let me know if you see any problems or changes that woould need to be noted. Thanks!

If your in your profile and click search it will search members not the forums. You have to change the little selector to "forums".

Wow, that is amazing. Sweet deal! What were the circumstances of the sale?

Behind your glovebox there should be a set of 3 relays. Ignition, fuel pump and accessory. Check all 3. Mine had a prong broken off in the connector and I didnt have power to my radio, blower or wipers. Replacing the relay fixed it.

Haha, well I am fully open to get rid of oil/fossil fuels as long as the next fuel will be cheaper and make my car go fast.

Thats amazing. I should have chromed my rear suspension. haha There was a guy on the forums making a vg rat rod. I havent seen any recent updates.

Haha, seems like its the wrong type of forum to have a clean energy get rid of oil advertisement. hahah LONG LIVE GASOLINE!!!

Can you put a whole car in a 450 degree oven??

Yeah, I like find content but I want the find topics and find posts back.

Would it be easier to go through japan? Ive shipped an intake manifold to australia for like $120. Shipping an airdam in the states is generally in the $150 range. I wouldnt be suprised at $600.

I enjoy being able to click my content to see if there are new posts in threads ive made or posted in. But when im trying to look for threads made by another member I cant just click on "my topics" when viewing their profile. It seems to have dissappeared with the software update. Is there any way to get this back? Thanks

Never is a strong word....... I remember a thread as well. I think someone did a photoshop on a orange 240z. Targa top looked sweet.

What reason is there to not use it? Most paints will have a temperature warning on the can. I think alot of normal spray paints are 200 somethings degrees.

Those are beautiful!! Wish I had the money for those. Ive got the same tinted covers as Jay and these lights look great under them.

N42 intake will be closer to $75+. And yes, under any circumstances buy yourself a turbo donor car that runs. I sold the parts off of my old turbo engine after pulling it from my car and was able to buy myself an entire new 280zx turbo with money, block, head and pistons left over amongst other parts. BUY A COMPLETE CAR!!!

Haha, do you see the seat flying forward everytime he brakes? Must be broken.

I wouldnt reccomend paying 1100 dollars just to set it aside. If you do that and then buy another car to restore, I doubt youd ever get back to this one.. youd be just wasting your money.

Pull off the wheel and see if its actually dragging. Spin in as is, then spin it with the ebrake cable off. If that doesnt help pull the drum off and check things out.

Its a volvo. Figures..
