Stickies are there because they should be read!!! http://forums.hybridz.org/showthread.php?t=84860

:search: This is becoming my standard reply when people are being lazy and dont search. Sorry if it comes across as rude but people are wanting to get spoonfed the answers and arent willing to search for them. This is the second time today that this basic question has been asked. Which shows you did nothing more than just ask your question and not searched at all.

Its not that we are being stingy or lazy with the info we have. Its just that we KNOW its out there because we have all found it. We also found out tons of other information about turbo's and cars and just the z car in general along the way.

hahahaha i wish. and of course this is alot nicer than my last set up. For one it actually has a decent sized intercooler. the starion was great for the stock turbo but just wasnt going to cut it with the big Holset. I do still need to do some ducting to get it to work more efficently but I think i have enough on my plate right now. Ya know with repainting my whole car and all lol. Here is my photobucket url. Very unorganized but you get the drift and there is a few pictures of my intercooler set up. http://s77.photobucket.com/albums/j69/jeffer949/

WOW thats the first time someone has used pictures of my vehicle on hybridz!!! I havent noticed any issues with it. if you where really concerned you could always wrap your cold pipe in insulation to keep heat away from it.

Not to be mean but you havent searched very much. Go read the FAQ section.

I dont have a header design to give them.... I could say go ahead and make one and see what they make but it probably wouldnt be what we want. So im kinda at a loss also on what to do. Any input would be great.

Mine was metric 12x1.5 if i recall correctly.

Dude stop getting defensive. We arent attacking you. Im planning on switching to disk in the back also. I personally just want to make sure you go after the culprit of the problem and not throw disks on thinking you fix it and then your disks lock up also. I am by NO means a purist. Ive been spending the last couple hours hacking up my Perfect fender lips so I can run ZG's And my car will be getting a 2jz-gte when the zxt blows up. I just want to see you do a good job on your car and actually fix the problem and not just throw parts at it till it works. Its just a wast of money and time doing that. Good luck.

Easy there turbo. He wasnt pointing fingers at you. The point is a good working drum system works fine for the street. Your system was not defective. Defective means there was a part that broke when it shouldnt of. I dont think you can call any part on our cars defective after 30+ years of service. Your system just wasnt maintained well. Not saying you neglected it just that i was neglected. and honestly it sounds like you have a problem with your E-brake set up that might not be in the drums them self it might be in the mechanism and that its not releasing correctly.

EFFING PRICELESS!!!! lol I vote sticky. Battlesquaddatsun we are not trying to discourage you from doing this swap. We would honestly love you to do the swap. We just dont want to tell you information that we all know is out there and has been covered a million times. Its one of the rules on here that i think hasnt been reinforced lately and its been getting worse.

lol

If you feed a man once he eats for a day. TEACH a man to fish and he eats for a lifetime!!! In other words dont give him the answers let him search for them. They are there. If we give every body the answers with out them working for them it just makes them lazy and they will always come back to ask more questions that have been answered a billion times before

There is now way that car made that much power on that set up. ESP. with the SU's

Saw it for my second time tonight. Absolutely AMAZING!! It was as big of a thrill the second time as it was opening night. Ledger's performance was astounding. I am going to see it on IMAX this coming weekend. I hope it breaks all records for opening weekend. Does anybody know why Katie Holmes didnt play rachel again?

I went to school for Duc's They are great machines. Just make sure you take care of your valve adjustments. Every 6k street or 3k race. And on the break in.. Ive seen 2 monsters dyno'ed back to back and they where both purchased at the same time and one was flogged and one was done by the book. both had about the same hp. with in a hp or 2. So i would just drive it normally.

Thats what i thought. But if i recall correctly it was the tranny that was giving them problems wasnt it? But if they made the STS-V with the northstar motor in a RWD platform it opens up a new motor to us.

I know that but Im referring to the motor in the STS-V that was what deja originally went up against. We all know the LS swap is a good swap. But if we can do the northstar swap easily now with the trans in the STS-v why not add that to the doable list

Im totally not a v-8 guru but hasnt the northstar motor only been front wheel drive?? and this has the northstar motor with a rwd tranny apparently.... can we say new option for a Z perhaps???

lol they just deflate your tires and make your car sit lower lol

I just put mine in finger tight. Ive done 3 or 4 oil changes with it hasnt come out yet. Even if it does you just unthread it from your filter and stuff it back in your block. No biggie

The quick answer is no. The long answer is yes but you would have to have a small fortune to spend and then you would actually have to find them. So for the average hobbiest its a little impractical
