  1. I used the stock Supra filter also. You will need to twist the Z fuel level arm 180* to clear the sump, it twists easy. I was looking at a Z31 tank and it would work good for a donor too but I used the MK3 tank instead.
  2. Try it again. They shut it down when there is too much use, it's a free site. I can send you some pics if you can't get on there.
  3. I've had no problems with the stock LCA's. I run eccentric inner bushings, just to pull it in a little to run a 275 tire, other than that, stock front rubber diff mount with a steel limiter, rubber outer lca bushings and poly mustache bar bushings. I've only broke a driveshaft U joint. I would run 1310's and maybe CV's if it's going to see drag use with DR's. The torque is what breaks the parts. NHRA doesn't care what you have or how much you make, just what your times are. 11.5 and faster you'll need a cage. Some tracks (atleast here)aren't as anal about the rules and let mid 10 sec street cars run without cages. Just a driveshaft loop is all you need to run up to an 11.5. I'll be following you in the VH turbo swap soon.
  4. What was wrong with your 7M Z? Did it ever run? If so I think you would already have the answer.
  5. Uh, air, volume, whatever. I think I said that. "Fuel has energy and that mixed with oxygen and ignition makes an expolsion that produces alot more volume" I don't think I'm confused. Mass = volume. mass noun 2 Definition: measurement Synonyms: bulk, dimension, extent, greatness, magnitude, size, volume Source: Roget's New Millennium™ Thesaurus, First Edition (v 1.1.1) Copyright © 2005 by Lexico Publishing Group, LLC.

  6. Pads have an ideal operating temp. You can get different compound pads to suit the temperature you will be using the brakes at most. Wilwood makes several pads that fit a Superlight caliper. A full race pad will not have good cold stopping power on the street when cold, just as a lower temp street type pad would be prone to fade on a road course with a high hp car. No way you can feel the caliper flex. I can go push on any brake pedal and feel a springy feeling, it's the way brakes work.
  7. There are 8 second Supras and Vipers using IRS.
  8. I know the Q45 uses the RE4R03A trans. I have heard the Z32's do too but can't find the link I had.
  9. Are you using N/A injectors too? What's wrong with the stock FPR? Stock is 1:1. If you are on stock n/a everything you will need more fuel and a 1:1 will only compensate for boost not extra enrichment which it sounds like you are looking for. You'll need a rising rate regulator (greater than 1:1). Or addtional injectors.
  10. Exhaust flow spools turbos not heat. Heat is just a byproduct of power. More timing will make more power. More power = more exhaust, more exhaust flow = faster spool. If you have 12 psi by 3100 rpms I wouldn't worry. When will you be below that rpm when racing or really in it? In 4th I can get 5 psi by 3k and I thought mine spools fast for it's size.
  11. Kinda far for you but Az Turbo. 3445 N 29 ave. 602-253-9953, Joel is the guy. I don't know of any shops in the Mesa area.
  12. I didn't read all the post but. I did need to space out my wheels before I had my CO's on and I didn't have the studs for spacers and didn't need or want 5/16" spacers. I went to ACE with my cailpers and got 10 washers and made sure they were within .001" of each other. They were .078" thick. I ran them for about a year without any problems until I got my coilovers on and took them off.
  13. It's made with a radiator core. Every intercooler core I've seen has some kind of turbulators(sp?) in the tubes.
  14. How so? maybe I'm missing something but without increasing the wheel angle or shortening the wheel base I don't see how the turning radius would be effected.
  15. AZC http://arizonazcar.com/lowarms.html You can also use centric bushings to move the stockers out about 1/4". I cut and lengthend mine 10mm.
  16. If you do plan on road racing and it makes good power you will use 5th gear if the track has a decent straight. I know there would be no way I could run a 4 speed.
  17. I guess you don't need to. Different turbos will have different power potentials and will have different back pressure at the same boost. I have no idea what Jeff P has. Unless he runs doesn't run an intercooler or was comparing his turbine pressure to pre intercooler pressure I don't see how he was even, but If it was it was.
  18. What's yours need? Just bearing and seals or did the compressor wheel get damaged? You can get a rebuild kit for under $70. It's not hard to do.
  19. Ya, any motor swap will put you in E mod. If you are mainly after a fast/fun street car first, fun auto x car second it shouldn't matter. Me and a friend run E mod, motor swap, tires ect. Not as fast as most E mod cars but faster than most autocross cars and faster than any car on the street running auto X.
  20. I just don't see a car rolling if in first gear unless on a 45% incline. The P brake on my truck never worked, I ended up removing the cable when I shortend the wheel base. I used 1st gear for a P brake the entire time I've owned it, about 7 years. It never once rolled, on the street, rockcrawling, anywere. This wasn't a light 2500 lb Z. It weighed 4300 lbs the last time it was on the scale. Only a 3.0 V6 so there isn't alot of motor holding it.
  21. If the engine weight were equal and the 2.5 was turbo and the 302 ci was n/a and bothe made the same power. The V8 would be a better choice. Your torque will be available at lower rpm without lag. This would help alot foe auto X.
