so how much would you be willing to sell it for since im not too far from zanesville

with the bondo glass and a thin layer of bondo to thin it out i dont see many inssues with that as long as there isnt a lot of flex on those body panels...that is similar to how i have molded spoilers onto trunks instead of bondo glass though i just used fiberglass fabric then smooth with a very thin layer of bondo

i must say that you are doing an awesome thing by posting all of the info you have! im sure most of us cant say thanks enough for what you have took the time to post here! so if im reading the above correct that once you would get above 600-650 HP only maybe the intake quench pad would need to be removed? what would be a power level to remove the quench pad/pads? and would it be beneficial to maybe leave them to slightly remove them/round off the edge or is it an all there or nothing situation with them at the powerlevels they should be removed?

Just looking to see if there are any 240Z's in NE Ohio or the surrounding area...looking for one with a straight body and paint ready for a swap...trying to stay around or below 2000. Thanks in advance Matt

the only reason a turbo is a muffling device is because it creates back pressure and offers a restriction in the exhaust...and incorrect about the SRT-4...its reason for not needing mufflers came from the small diameter exhaust, 2 resonators, and the cat...all of that was enough to keep exhaust quite and dont try and argue i have been an SRT-4 owner since 2004 and know the car and engine like the back of my hand, the most respested SRT-4 tuner in the world lives 45 minutes from me careless i caught on haha "its not a woo woo its a WOOO WOOO" hahahahaha anyways i want a muffler because it makes the exhaust note more attractive then without one...this isnt an SRT-4 that sounds good without a muffler...Plus a muffler will finish off the back of a really plain looking car ass... 4" pipe with no muffler will look ghetto rigged the way im running it...a 4" straight through muffler also does not restrict the exhaust at all

i think i know of a good machine shop i could trust...do you mind PM'ing me some info on what needs to be done to it and i might actually have one that would do it for me at a good price...also where did you pick up the billets from? im going above 9,000 and closer to 35-40 PSI and want some assurance as well lol

this is a nissan motor of a different kind though, the RB26 with the Tomei pump has a much higher increased pressure and flow rate over a standard nissan, with a built motor like stony's proper filtration and flow through the filter play a huge role in it...the bypass would only of caused more problems then good in this case i feel moral of the story like everyone is trying to say is that fram filters (besides their race filters) have no place being in a ultra high performance high modified engine, and i think thats something we can all agree on

yes that does help actually thank you

which the K&N oil filter number compared to a fram PH3682 (RB26 size from RBmotoring.com) would be this filter...if anyone could verify that would be perfect http://www.knfilters.com/search/product.aspx?Prod=HP-2008

has anyone tried a K&N Performance Gold filter...i know of a few people using them on 700-1000 HP SRT-4's

i think you fail to see that most of the supra guys now are going mid 8's and 9's consistently with the stock 6 speed

yeah im looking to go about 9,500-10,000 if possible so i would say L19 bolts will be the way to go...looking to do maybe 750 WHP i feel honored to have matt posting in my thread and answering my questions haha

well i would say that pretty much answered my question now matt, on a RB that was going to be running say about 950 HP MAX to the wheels, would you recommend going up to the L19 upgraded bolts on it? or just skip the eagle rods for that type of power, to go with a more expensive rod?

i use royal purple in my caliber SRT-4 and i pay about 65-75 an oil change, but will never put a fram oil filter on my car, i will only choose the K&N performance gold filters because i know they work incredibly well for high HP and high volume application

if matt aka cheftrd recommends eagle rods then they much be good in my book lol either way im not looking to push the amount of HP recommend for rods, but even at only 150 HP per cylinder thats still good for 900 HP of which there is no reason to have that much in a Z unless you have a death wish lol
