Did you have it shipped in? If so, at what cost how far? Thanks, Doug.

I know there's the project at one of the state schools regarding a diesel powered veggie oil diesel, but does anyone have any experience with a diesel motor in a Z? Will it mate to other transmissions? Does anyone know what the fuel mileage was for these? Thanks,

I would if I was closer and I know someone who may want to come get it from you. I found a burn out thats real cheap myself. Email me or pm and I'll pass it along. He's close than I am.

That's more than I would've thought, but not unrealistic I guess.

I sold one last year and am buying another for myself. I've located a few more and wondered if it would be worth buying them all. I've been told they will sell for double the price I sold my last one. Just curious.

I don't think I'd mess with the 2.3L in anything bigger than a Roadster. It's got a flaw in the intake that restricts flow doesn't it? You have to buy an aftermarket head that straightens out the intake runner around the vavle guide boss. I put one in a Roadster back in the 80s and it was a good match.

As was mentioned before, a 4 rotor has already been done. The guy raced it on circle tracks for a couple of seasons then sold it adn lost touch with the new owner. He had all the parts fabbed and it worked well, but I don't know that it's really neccesary. It was competitive against v8s.

I had to wait until I was 29 to have my dream realized, but it was realized many times thereafter. It wounds like an electrical issue on your car. Maybe the guys working on it need to revisit the grounding issues.

Low revs, but plenty of power. http://performanceunlimited.com/illustrations/most_powerful_engine.htmlGood luck fitting it into a container for shipment.

I think I remember mine being 132-140.

I'd believe the press release claim of close to 400 as listed above---in a closed environment---with no wind drag (essentially a dyno).

I'd guess around 250, really. The Y2K bike is more capable of high speed isn't it?

Chrysler Group Chief Operating Officer Wolfgang Bernhard motors along the stage aboard the brand-new Dodge Tomahawk V-10, 8.3-liter (505 cubic inch) concept motorcycle at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit on January 6, 2003. The Tomahawk features four-wheel independent suspension, and the superbike's engine, borrowed from the Viper sports car, can propel it to speeds of nearly 400 mph.

Norm, love the way you prove that big numbers can be achieved with low dollars. I know you been doin it for a while too. Doug.

It's rooted by the Nitrogen isotope that brings the skin to a boil when a chain reaction of...wait, maybe it's nitous oxide. Yet that stuff you put on punkin pie.

Welcome JP 280. Thanks for posting the pic of the intakes you guys got. That's the 2 liter turbo intake right? Do you know what year it's off? That's a clean and good looking piece. Kevin, I must have missed the 4bbl intake post. I'm thinking about the use of duals, but not quad. I am talking about a turbo'd application for my L6 and wonder how that's gonna affect the resonance theorum you posted. My SWAG is that since it's forced induction app, that eliminates the need to utilize it? (I may be totally wrong). That's a lot of info to digest at once though. I'll have to visit it a couple of times. Thanks, Doug.

I don't think too large of a line would affect anything at all. If you have no line restriction with a certain size, going bigger won't do any good, but it will have no effect on pressure. True, the larger lines affect volume, but not negatively of course (in this case).

Gotcha. Jeff, how come you don't have a signiture with your website address in it so "I" don't have to go looking for it. It's a lot of trouble, all that rolling of the mouse and clicking stuff. . Well Drewz, you are using the first tb I initially thought of using. I pictured the F-body unit. You aren't using it on the pictured engine though .

It's supposed to be off a 2 liter turbo nissan overseas. I see no reason it wouldn't work great and welding a flange on is pretty easy for a machine shop. I used the 60mm TWM and it was fine for me. It was probably the limit for a T5/3.7 in my taste. I have a 65 MerBenz tb and will weld a flange on the intake if I use it, but may try this since I would want the better manners this would give.

Thasss correct. It was a twin turbo Ford. Doubt I'll ever see another one like that.

I'm not so concerned about the mod to fit it as the function of it. I plan on welding a new flange on my intake for a 65mm anyway. The performance should be better don't ya think?

First off a 6 plate TWM is out of the question. I didn't find anything in the archives other than 'maybe' DrewZ had tried a twin TB on an L6. Supposedly, you can get too heavy of a tip-in when you go with the larger TBs of 60mm and up. Would a twin alleviate this problem and still give big flow at WOT, or would it be worse. Originally, I thought of using equal sized plates like the GM F body, but some others mentioned the assymetrical ones (20mm at part throttle then a larger plate deeper into the pedal) They look like the better answer to the tip-in issue and poorer idle of too large a tb. See an example below. pic credit to Jeremy.

I thought everyone knew about big rig silicon hose. "tennis balls beware."
