    Triple Blowthrough Turbo

    I am looking at running with a COP set up or a LS coil set up.  I have a SixOne Industries distributor that I can run or possibly a 123 Ignition unit.  I don't want to keep the old distributor set up on it. 

    I know I want to verify the correct oil pump, if I don't have a turbo oil pump set up I will go with something aftermarket. 

    I plan on making sure the head and intake/exhaust manifolds are port matched. 

    I noticed that your Mikuni manifold is set up like mine. Mine was plumbed to read pressure from each cylinder and sent that to a common canister then 1 hose coming out to read pressure in a in cabin gauge. 

    I am going to upgrade the oil pan to a 6qt Moroso. 

    The head has been worked over and has a cam of some sort but I do not have any of the specs on it.  I am hoping to find out.....

    The set up I am rebuilding has the old RotoMaster turbo on it which will be wall art.  I am going to updated it with a new BW or Comp Turbo unit.  I am going with a larger intercooler than what was on there originally. 

    Sounds like a neat project. Turbo setup is a standard Garrett ball bearing T3/T40E 50 trim/63 AR with the ATP ultimate internal gate, Tial 10psi actuator. What will you be running for ignition? 

    When all is said and done I am hoping to be 400-50whp.

    LOL I stumble on this just in time.  I am about to embarqe on a Cartech install for my 72 240z.  I would like the power to be at least 400whp ( which is about 1/2 of what I have on my 70 240z) This build I am going with period influences with a modern twist for reliability..... Since I am in TX and just down the road from Corky Bell I will be leaning on him for the final approvals.  Good luck on your build as you have done a lot of things I am leaning to.  I have picked up some good ideas in here.... What are the specs on your turbo as I will be updating that as well from the old unit to something new....

    This is a production head or V4. I now refer to the production heads by their serial number.   S/N005  is being assembled buy the person who bought it. He chose Xtreme  to do the head work and so far I think he chose wisely. They take raw Porsche head castings and bring them all the way to a finished product so I felt comfortable with them doing the work. They also have experience with the K20. I'm hoping they become an option for people who can't wait on Rebello or like S/N005 want's to do their own build. I'm assuming they will flow the head so they will have good data for people that want to go that route. 

    This is very interesting.....very....

    I have been watching this via FB as well.  I have one of the original WFritz 8.8 swap kits.  I had a little mishap and was the one who ripped the subframe from the unibody at the passenger LCA frame/ mount location as well as destroyed the front diff  mount.  We have that back together now and the front mount is corrected.  ( I was the one who posed the question to you... lol) I look forward to seeing how you do with this set up.  Currently I am only at 700whp on my LS/ supercharger set up.  You can see other pics of the car on Instagram @datlszguy Good to see someone else on this path.

    The Z powersteering set ups are good.  I am about to buy one , the main differences between the two units is the ele motor that is used.  one is a OEM type motor and the other is not to OEM spec.  I do know someone who autocrosses  their car regularly on the Silvermine setup and he swears by it.

    So this will make 3 of 3 shows I have entered and taken home hardware.  All class wins.  I have not once entered any of these events and thought I should win.  To me my car has so many flaws still that need to be fixed or changed, but then I own it. 

    More changes coming in the near future.  I hope to have the interior done in 2018.  That would include HVAC, ele power steering,  new interior panels, dash, installing my Mill House gauge pods, and some other things.....

    @RB26powered74zcar... Joel.... My interior is a wreck.  Not even close to being done.  I still have to:

    Buy a passenger seat the same as my driver's  ( I just put in a Technocraft T4)

    Buy HVAC for the car

    Buy ele power steering

    Buy new Nardi steering wheel

    New carpet

     

    I am working with a local interior guy on doing the full Alacantera interior. 

    I have a few surprises in store for the interior panels I am working on as well.   

    I appreciate all of the compliments, this car has been a labor of love as I have such a long history with it..... the original owner is a close family friend
