    Bummer... sorry to hear. I lost a nut on the turbo to exhaust manifold flange and blew the gasket out. Not as bad as yours.

    Kewl stuff

    Car has now developed an exhaust leak. Now that I have all the couplers holding pressure its spitting from some where else. Upon inspection the lower exhaust nuts/washers are loose. Seems the washers are collapsing between the intake and exhaust manifolds. It was to hot to work on. I will drive dads 300z to work and will work on it tomorrow after work. Stay tuned

    Great project. Looks like you have gotten most issues figured out.

    Thanks for the correction. I tried that way first. I figured someone would notice. The holes for the fenders would not line up with the lower spoiler. Lined up this way. Getting bumpers soon and will correct it at that time.

    Wow sorry about your struggles. Didn't see or read about this issue. I don't know how I missed that. Glad you got it figured out. I was on a big downward spiral with my z31 ecu install. All self inflicted. I am driving everyday now. Running the 500cc inj, Z32 maf 8lbs boost daily and flip the switch for 12lbs when I want now that the couplers are staying on. Planning body work.

    Checking over the car while I re-connected the other coupler, I found eshaust nuts loose. I retightened them as well as the 4 bolts on the turbo down pipe. I will have to keep an eye on those. They were loose the 3rd day I ran the car back 6 months ago. I will get under the car this weeked and check the ones on the underside of my heat shield. I now have both front turn signals form a 70-73 240z with wire harness. This along will my front spoiler that I have will be installed this weekend. Pictures to follow.

    Spark gap?

    Hope so,,, wish my mistakes would not have happened but you can only learn.

    Blew the other side of the cupler today. So When I fixed the one I did not take the time to look at the other side. It was off enough to allow low boost, but as soon as higher boost 8+ would make that boot leak. Fixed again, too tired to test tonight. Will drive to work again.

    I did a search on car-parts.com Found a pic n pay and they pulled the cylinder head off of the car me and shipped it. Head was $50 and $40 shipping. As long as the head has not dropped a valve you should be ok. You probably will do new seats, guides, valves etc. New fly cut on the head you are ready to go!

    Yes, exhaust fumes are an issue. I am having the same issue.
  17. tooquick260
    Yes I downloaded and am going to try to go thru this over the winter.

    Suggestion since planning to redo the head... buy another head. have that one rebuilt and then you could do the swap over the weekend and have less down time. I bought a P90 head for Cheap, had new valves, cleaned up port work and new regrind cam.

    Looks like a great project. Keep us up on whats happening. Keeping n/a or going turbo?
  20. tooquick260
    Blew a intake coupler last night. Fixed that and decided to adj the valves. had been close to 2000 miles since the turbo install, new cam , rebuilt head. All were loose as per the sound it.]

    Can you try to leave that gap on 4 a little larger than the rest. I know my dad played with gap a lot running nitrous on his air cooled beetle. Something with compression checking and adjusting the shot and setting the spark gap. Now thats custom tuning stuff there. His wet system for nitrous could change the jet for the fuel or gas. Played with that and would alter size on each cylinder specially if one showed signs of leaking seats or rings.

    I would try the spark gap. Easiest way to see if it fixes
  23. tooquick260
    I have seen some local guys running .16 to .19 to fix this same problem. Just recently dropped mine to .27, I am going to lower to .20-22 before I go to the dyno for the final upped boost tune

    Car is much better. Will start 90% of the time. Is a little cold natured but can live with that. ONly issue is sometimes it will not fire. Have to unplug the 3 connections to the ecu and the 2 wires to the ignitor. This seems to relieve the draw from the battery. I then switch key to start to make sure the motor turns over freely. Once that is done replug all wires back in and wala car starts. What gives. I am going to disconnect the battery memory line to the ecu and see it that is it.

    For sure.... BRM remakes are cool to!
