Instead of giving it to Gene Banks..?.. Why not just apply the theories and practices of Gale Banks to an LD. He is not secretive about the overall theory of building high power diesels. He says they build race enginges the same way every one else does; by moving the power band higher. He showed some examples where they where removing pounds from a piston and pin assembly! When peak torque is at 3800 or 4800 instead of 1800 you don't need a piston pin that looks like it should be rifled and used in anti-aircraft artillery. It is still a recipricating air pump that burns a fuel. Make it move more air and spin higher and you will get the results you are looking for. I would say the only hard part to acheiving massive LD power would be the injection pump and maybe the cam. Both can be figured out with a little tuning though.

Very good information. I guess I have something to do with 4x8 sheet of 16ga I purchased a while back.

I know that JSM is good for it, but if something happend I have a set as well. They are ready to go.

Welcome to Hybridz jake. I advise you to spend a little time hunting around this site before you start making eronious posts (see above) that have such poor gramar and spelling that they are difficult to understand. You don't need perfect english around here but you do need to make an effort. As far as what is a "dumb" swap I would say that goes back to the old phrase of "there is no best". I guess you would think some members here who spend tens of thousands of dollars developing L6's which would likely not compete with a stock JZ of any denomination are dumb. Dumb because of the price difference right? Jake do yourself and all the other members a favor and read our rules and do your own research. Once the research is done you will be able to draw your own conclusion on this and many future projects. Thanks

Somehow I knew you could answer this one johnc. How does that compare to the s30?

Why not just get a manual rack? Better ratios, lighter weight, bolt on swap. I see no reason to use the power rack with out assist, but what do I know give it a shot.

That makes me want to go dirt track racing!

I have one in Georgia! Shoot me a pm if interested.

I have been talking to these guys for a while, was trying to set up a north american distribution for them. I think they really know there stuff. Hundreds of other cars have been made including mini's, peugeot's, and many others. Countless boats and all kinds of stuff so I believe they know what they are doing. They have been around a really long time. If several people stateside get together the combined shipping cost would be greatly reduced. I say we give em a try!

Check this out: http://forums.hybridz.org/index.php?/topic/38251-complete-differential-list-need-help/ Especially post #61 (page 4). It looks like you can hunt down a 4.9:1 r200 lsd. Good luck and keep us posted!

It doesn't look like he used them, but you'de be better off with a pm anyway; seeing as how the thread is over six years old.

Or for about 100 bucks you can have a 24# fly wheel lightened and balanced down to 17# while removing weight from the furthest point from center. Better acceleration, better balance, more meat for the clutch to munch on, close to the same cost, better deal if you ask me. But hey if you want to run the maxima unit go ahead and let us all know how it works out!

For what it is worth I know some old aircraft guys who spend tens of thousands of dollars having lower profile rounded rivets installed to hold on there body work. Some of them claim up to 50% improved fuel economy. Granted they have thousands of rivets and we have 8-10 pins, just food for thought.

Congratulations! See you at the Mitty.

I wonder if they still honor those prices?

Thats a deal!

Didn't Pontiac also say "ribbed for her pleasure"? I mean that is what all the plastic body cladding was about in the '90s, right?

I thought it was typo, I'd just hate some noob to read this and go straight out and turn his controller up to 3.04 bar "cause the guys on hybridz said it would do it". That could get ugly fast. Now back to the topic, I LOVE the BW's too btw. LOVE!

Deleted double post.

Actually 3.04 bar = 44.688 psi, NOT 30. 30 psi is closer to 2 bar.

Wheres TonyD at?

Officialy jacked!

I think that 225's are too wide for 6" wheels. Maybe okay for 7"s but with 6" wheels I'd have 205 60s. They work very well. Just my .02
