  1. I was wondering if you'd be so nice to help me by measuring that tranny for me? :)

     

    I am trying to get the specs for how much, if any, cutting will need to be done on my Z32.

     

    Not to be picky BUT, I was hoping to get a few measurements:

    Total length

    Bell width

    and then a more complicated measurement... at what length from the bell does it reach it's 'tunnel' size?

    And what is the tunnel size? Height and width.

     

    Thanks and sorry, I am thinking about keeping the stock 2JZ auto when it comes in but if I can't fit it I might go with the TH350 instead. since I'd be forced to do mod work anyway. You get my point I'm sure.

  2. +1mm oversized valves will fit the stock seats BUT do you actually gain the performance of using oversized valves if the seats are the same size?

     

    That's probably a catch all question, concerning all motors... but when I put the OS valves in my Jetta they had to be reseated to accomodate th larger valve... It seems to me that if the valve is bigger you won't actually gain much CFM without the actually seat being larger as well.

    I must be confused, straighten me out here guys.

  3. Interesting fact about the Ferrai! I imagine though that it was due to Highway noise, not power. Ferrari is not known at all for torque, so the only logical explanation there, to me, is that the aluminum was too loud in vibration (install a center carrier bearing and that would go away though.)

     

    As for RWT, I agree it is more important in Low RPMs. On the other hand once the tires have established contact and forward motion is taking place I hardly think that 600RWT @ 7K would make a difference. On the other hand if you were making 600RWT @ 4K, like in a Naturally aspirated built Viper. Even in that case they use a very large aluminum one I believe.?.?.?

  4. Here's the setup, (motor/Trans) 2JZGTE/A340E -------> R230 (Differential)

    I plan on making 500-600rwhp for a good while.

     

    I want to build the custom driveshaft out of aluminum.

    Do you think that 2.375 x .154 is strong enough for aluminum at that power level? Should I be thinking larger diameter pipe? or thicker pipe?

     

    Thanks

  5. I'll use this thread as my platform for people to follow along my build process.

     

    Here's what I have: A 1992 300zx TT 5spd. I've pulled the VG30DETT and 5spd and sold it all except the car. I prefer the look of the Z32 to ALL cars, so that's why I refuse to sell the car inspite of my growing dislike of the VG motor.

     

    I am looking to use a 2JZGTTE with an Auto setup for drag. Convert to a single turbo and go big on stock block and built head.

     

    I hope to build the head with around the power plant HKS 264/264 cams and +1 OS valves. A custom P&P along with titanium retainers, bronze guides, HD springs and Cometic Head gasket.

     

    My goal is 500whp, 10sec quarter mile and fully street legal from the driveway to the track.

  6. I am in the same boat... I'm not fnding alot either. Most of the info seems to be Datsun and 240 based info. I just don't think there's alot of people who see the relivance in getting rid of a VG to a 2JZ. I do, but whatever.

     

    I think the main issues to tackle are going to be:

    1-Oil sump, because even the stock VG is a tight fit between firewall and crossmember, it might require a slightly modified setup

    2-Radiator fitment, that's a long SOB and the Z32 does not have a long engine bay. It may require an angled rad setup between the headlights and definetely an electric fan.

     

    I don't personally invision a big transmission problem but i plan on using an automatic for drag and Hwy, no Xauto for me.

     

    I was hoping someone could dig up a photo, if one is available. That could clear up some issue I have.

     

    Thanks

  7. The wonders that a search will do.

     

    You know it actually sucks because on one hand if you ask a freakin questions like "What's the distance between the front of a Z32 and a RB26 or 2JZ?" Someone is bound to drop in and say search... then when you do search you don't find anything...

     

    I guess I'm screwed either way... SO on side note, any clues as to the length of those motors?

    I couldn't find anything

  8. Thanks for the info, currently my greatest obsticle is deciding which route to take. Some people have me slightly convinced to go the TH400 route but I can't justify using an Auto unless I'm building inot the 700+ HP range and my goals are not that high currently.

     

    Anyway... I don't want to spend a crap load on the tranny either... so I'll keep looking into these options. Thanks

  9. I went to Boostwerx to check the 'kit' out and it wasn't listed, that I could see at least. What exactly is included in the kit?

    Assuming I have the 2JZ, TH400 and convertor of choice.... where does the boostwerx kit come in? adapter....? $750 seems high, so I have to assume there's more to this kit.

  10. I am looking for a 2JZ manual transmission, where is a good place to buy from?

    I have no problem finding the motor but all the transmissions I am finding are automatics... not my style.

    Plus this is going in a 300ZX TT so if there are any good links throw them at me.

    Thanks
