84 is the FB. I think the FC came around in 86ish?

cruise control? they came with a hand throttle but not a cruise control iirc the dealers used to remove them because people used them as a cruise control. Nice car for 500 though. But what does the rust look like?

that's why I'd use sch80 if i remeber, it's not as brittle as sch40, and can handle higher pressures at the same time. (never hurts to over engineer things a bit haha) i doubt you could use it for an entire intake setup though (from turbo, through IC to TB) but who knows. doubt it would hurt to try

just make sure you use the right strength of PVC. I'd say go with the black stuff since iirc that's a higher rating.

because, some people like N/A more than turbo, and some people like carbs more than EFI

also, you can perfectly tune triples. It takes work and knowledge but you can do it. Besides, in his first post, he never mentioned using the GT-R engine. Just an RB series engine. Say you had a lead on an RB26 engine, no intake manifold, no exhaust manifold, just the long block (i think that's the right term) and it was cheap because it didn't come with all that. You could pick it up, put on some headers, a triple setup and of you go. Some classes have restrictions on what kind of setup you can have. There are also classes like stated above, where power adders are calculated as added displacement. and what if you wanted to enter a class that restricts you with carbs and the manufactures engine (nissan in a nissan no efi) if you stuck with the stock L-series, you'd be restricted on power, but if you carbed an RB you can obtain a lot more power. I love the idea. I hadn't thought of it before, but it's a really wicked idea.

I'll let this one keep goin for a while then. Finding what it was for me was tricky because it has a weird name.

it has 3 cranks and no head. to speak of. pretty awesome engine. now try this one I'll give you a hint. It's old and flies

borg warner 3k turbos but yeah, they're for small 1.8-2.0 engines.

try that one ^__^

Yep, that's a 240sx trans mount. A quick google search found a couple sites that show it, and they match exactly.

I think it would be kind of neat to see something like an RB25 with triple side drafts in a Z. Meshing the past with the present. The sound of triples is awesome too.

check the water temp sensors wires. those corrode easily and cause overly rich issues.

it's the same as a normal jet turbine, except the combustion chamber is a seperate chamber from the main area. It works on the same principles as a normal turbine engine. But instead of using a single turbocharger, I want to use 2 and have the combustion chambers linking them together in an X so it's like this 1I / 2I 1E/ 2E just cause I haven't seen it done. Of course I have neither the tools or money to make it so for now it's just a lot of writing all over some paper and mspaint images. The combustion chambers will run propane for fuel (was thinking of using kerosene, but propane works better since it's already in a vapor state) making the flame holders though will be a bit tricky, since I'm not sure exactly how to design them. Trial/error will probably make the best design though. Ignition of the fuel on startup is easy though. a couple spark plugs hooked to a coil, then once the flame stabalizes it'll run like a normal jet turbine (but in a weird sort of way since the turbines are independent from one another or whatever) Errmm....sorry for the threadjacking

the thing is all the owners that bought one of these knock offs KNEW that it wasn't a real ferrari. I think something to do with the paperwork though pissed of ferrari. the people that bought the cars, they knew they were fakes. that's what's confusing me. It's not like they said "Yeah this things TOTALLY real down to every nut and bolt!"

yeah, i'm not sure if it would work. what I wanted to do, was take 2 of the same model turbos from a junkyard, and build a twin turbine engine, in a mutual relationship. instead of the combustion chamber being in between intake 1 and exhaust 1 (like normal, intake goes to combution, spins exhaust to spin intake, it would be like this intake 1 to exhaust 2 exhaust 2 spins intake 2, which goes to exhaust 1. so the power produced by intake one would spin up the other turbine, and the power produced by intake 2 would spin up the 1st turbine. starting it should only take a leaf blower into one intake, since once the combustion starts it would be self supporting. Doubt it would have good respons, but it would look kick ass. I see how your idea works, but it can only spool up so high before the vacuum stops doing anything. it would require some sort of flywheel for it to keep spinning, so spooling it up in the first place to a useable level would be difficult.

he sorta cheated and might have right clicked your image, which links to alfasud.alfsti.net

salt flats records anyone?

dude! is that the "Flintstone's" Edition?!

wow, that's more impressive than i thought. not only is it an L series it's an LD28 built to 3.2L modified to run gas. that's AWESOME.

same style engine as the first. I think the idle is a bit higher, which is why it doesn't have taht really heavy lope like the first.

yeah, for me I'd bring some popcorn, a lawn chair, and a video camera and sit there with a huge grin on my face.

Oh! i saw that one! there's also a tank powered Mustang posted on youtube. I like this video though it's a sherman V-8 tank engine. a ford quad cam based off the merlin V-12, with the same firing order. it gives it a REALLY nasty lope at idle.

ehh...it's more like, if you need to take the bus, just make sure you only need to take ONE bus, because figuring out where to go to transfer, is a PAIN. i'm lucky in that everything I need to go to, I can take one bus and a short bike ride.

I usually hate rap, but geeze, that's just awesome.
