  1. I was just getting ready to reply that Mcmaster only has .080 in 6061 (which I already bought) and decided to check again. They have 2024 in .080. It's 33.00 for a 12" x 12" sheet. Are you sure that 6061 won't work:o Derek
  2. Hi Tony I was wondering if I was missing something in my analysis of using aluminum as shim material as opposed to steel. Believe me there's a lot I'm missing on the entire project! Derek
  3. I'm going to be doing the shave .080" P90 trick and I need to shim up the cam towers. My plan is to machine out the spacers from some 6061 T6 .080" sheet I have. I measured the sheet with my Starrett high precision mike and there is virtually no difference in thickness. I'm also thinking the thermal coefficients will be more equal as they're similar metals just a different alloy as opposed to aluminum head, steel shim, aluminum cam tower. Am I missing something? Thanks Derek Oh and does anyone have a DWG or DXF of the cam tower shims? (Dreaming)

    Yes your old! But then again I'm 50. It's like anything else. If I try and read a book and drive well that's not too good of an idea. Same with these carputer setups. I can remember searching through a box of cassette tapes while driving being a bit distracting as well. Derek
  5. 5 Left! Come and get'em, Dereks got a motor build to fund!
  6. Well put me in the "I don't think it will fit my car" group. I did some measuring and I just don't see how it will fit no matter how much trimming is done. I decided to buy a couple of 12" fans and make a custom shroud. I know that will fit! Derek
  7. Looks like the only way to know for sure is to buy one and start hacking! I'll document the process as I go. Does anyone have the dimension from the back of the motor to the front of the blades? My thoughts are if you hack all the shroud off in the process of making it fit you still have a nice 2 speed fan for a decent price. Derek
  8. Thanks for the offer but I think there's more room on a V8 swap. Now if you want too drop your L6 back in and shoot some pics that would be great! Derek
  9. Thanks Adam I'm just going to have to get one and see what it's going to take. How much room is there between the fan blades and the radiator? Derek
  10. On my Bosch injectors it doesn't matter. Derek
  11. I'm already holding one for him. Got to take care of the Florida crew! Derek
  12. Yea it seems there was a lot of ambiguity and zero pictures of an installed fan. Tony D was in the "installs with minor trimming" camp. That's why I'm still pursuing it. I like the fact that it's an OEM fan that will run reliably and that it's a 2 speed. Derek
  13. Hi Adam I'm going to have megasquirt run it. Hurry up and get it installed:) Derek
  14. Gainseville is about as far north as I've been making it lately! Derek
  15. And if so can you post some pics? Thanks Derek

    Vented Gas Cap?

    I didn't say it was I only said it shouldn't be! It seemed like there was a string of posts getting tossed to the shed. Derek
  17. Sorry for the multiple posts but I want to make sure previous buyers get this info http://forums.hybridz.org/showthread.php?p=1065897#post1065897 I'm also offering a timing plate to make life easier. http://forums.hybridz.org/showthread.php?p=1065900#post1065900 Post #4
  18. I just uploaded instructions here http://forums.hybridz.org/showthread.php?p=1065897#post1065897
  19. Since you have to remove your timing plate to mount the sensor I made up blank indicator plates to mount on the left side. $15.00 if you buy a kit. They're a real pain to make and there's a bit of hand (hammer) work in them so they're not show quality. Derek
  20. I wish! I ended up buying all kinds of little stuff on ebay. Iguidance works ok but I'm not thrilled with it. I chose it because it plays nice with road runner. I've only used it a couple of times and that may be the problem!. Derek

    Looks like a plan. I'm running the jetway with the Atom 330 and have Zero complaints. If you can fit the 12" then I say go for it! Derek
  22. Hi Adam Welcome aboard. There is a Z car club in Gainesville. We meet every month (usually) at either Blue Highway pizza or at Bill Coffey's garage. Check out this post http://forums.hybridz.org/showthread.php?t=150120 This is a great time. Derek
  23. have a post in the vendors forum. I thought I would update this thread as well. http://forums.hybridz.org/showthread.php?t=153254 Thanks Derek
