  1. Welcome, look forward to the build!
  2. Welcome! Sounds like a great project! Hope to see it as it evolves
  3. I have wondered the same thing. I "safely" bored .30 on the N42 block, anything beyond that I would sleeve.
  4. I'm sorry, I just saw this for some reason. Could you get me the measurements? That would be a huge help!
  5. I am looking for the modern motorsports cobra conversion brake caliper bracket. I don't need the whole kit, just the caliper bracket. Anyone have one? Thanks!
  6. I am debating doing wide ZG flares and was hoping someone in the Houston area might have some on their car. Anyone? I just want to take a look in person (pictures only tell so much). It would be much appreciated!
  7. how do you like the Tilton master cylinder upgrade? How does it feel? Could you possible post a picture of it installed? I'm very interested in this upgrade! Thanks! Great build btw!
  8. Thank you for the info. I ordered the FJ20 rods today, pistons next. Slowly but surely... I have been messing with the engine calculator. I assume it is correct... http://atlanticz.ca/zclub/techtips/calcs/engine%20builder/index.html So for the .030 inches of clearance, you are including the head gasket height correct? This would be 0.762mm between the head and top of the piston. So assuming I am using a 1mm gasket, I would shoot for about 0.24mm rise above the deck for the piston?
  9. Using these you are still left with a recessed deck height of 1.4mm, so the compression is not where I want it to be. Plus I would like to have forged for the sake of revving above 7200.
  10. The head is going to get a full job done on it. E31 with 45/36 valves, full port and polish, etc. I'm not worried about the flow. I'm having Isky do a custom cam for me. So the real advantage would be only to go with the Fj20 140mm rods is what seems to be the situation?
  11. Hi guys, I have been doing some research online and just wanted to get the forums opinion on this. I am building an L28 N42, bored to 89mm, L28 crank, and am debating on the rods to use. Seeing as I have to do custom pistons, I can do whatever I want with them. I have read that a longer rod will benefit me in a higher RPM set-up. I'm looking for 8000rpm, so would using 133mm L24 rods with a shorter piston be better for me in making power compared to an L28 rod with standard L28 pin height? I have read that long rods will give better TDC dwell resulting in longer combustion time, allowing more efficient power to be made, and a short rod will give slightly better torque down low. Also, would the Fj20 rods and custom piston give the best combo bc of the 140mm length? Any hardcore engineers here to shed some light on the L6 engine and what I should do? Thanks!
  12. As a side question, what kind of torque difference can be had with an L28 crank compared to an L24 crank? I would want to rev 7500ish with the L24 and probably to 7000ish with the L28. stage 3 cam type specs, bored to 89mm, 11:1 compression. Just looking for some figures to give me an idea of the difference. I know there are a number of factors that go into this, but just wondering what people have gotten in the past. Thanks guys
  13. Yeah, just didn't find anything about it until after I posted. My searches did not come up with things, wrong words I guess.
  14. You're right. There is not much difference. But the L24 you can tell is just a bit quicker. Thanks for the video's!
  15. I actually read that yesterday from classic Zcar forum! Great article!
  16. A big part of me wants to do it because no one has, but there are also reasons in no one having done something...hmmm I'll make sure to post what I decide when it gets started!
  17. I understand. People throw out many things, some that they portray as evidence sometimes that can make it hard. What you are telling me is straight forward and I thank you for that.
