Car is looking good stony! I can wait to see a dyno video and some track videos of this thing. I'm on a totally different engine but I'm running a aem on mine too.

I used truck manifolds on my setup. The issue is the right side manifold points down into the frame rail. I chopped that manifold to the point I could shoot the exhaust straight forward and used 1/4 inch steel plated to filled gap above the pipe in the manifold. Here are the only pictures I found that kind of shows it.

That is going to be a fun street car!!

I'm enjoying your approach to this suspension on the z. I'm running a 4 link with a 8.8 in mine too. Good work so far.

That is so awesome! So what size turbo's did you go with. What is your power goal your shooting for?

Its so glossy. Very nice.

Looking good. Love the red and black theme. What are you going to do for engine management?

Very Nice work on the mounts.

looks like fun!!

So now that you have had it on the road how would you compare it to your old datsun?

Car is looking good!

I went back and forth trying to choose a cam. I was on the fence between the Speed Inc tu2 and the Comp XR281HR. I finally picked the later. As I was doing the install, the lifters would not stay in the trays so I was using a magnet to lift them up while I slid a dowel in to retain them. I got to the last 3 lifters when the magnet broke off inside the motor. I did what I had to do and pulled that head off and got everything back together the way it should be. Also on this round of upgrades is a new windshield and I got new Tokico blues installed up front. The old shocks were a little blown. Lastly for this update got some logo’s donated for the car. The goal for latest sprint to get the car ready was a local Import vs Domestic race named All Out Call Out. I had taken the car to work to make sure all was good but had no time to really dial in the tune on the smaller motor. I got two runs on the new setup in the test passes before the real race to tune it. On the first run I had the boost controller off and with 4psi it ran a 12.1 @ 115 with a 1.9 60 ft. Run 2 with the boost controller set the same as last year the new setup hit 18psi (down 6psi) and ran 10.3 @ 144mph (only down 3mph from last year) but still a weak 1.8 60 ft. It is not building boost on the line like it use too. Next up was the first round of eliminations and I’m facing Scott in the Vega that I ran in No Bull last year. I had adjusted the Ams1000 to push some more pressure into the top port of the wastegate and added some timing. He left the line with a much better reaction time but I was playing chase. Still no real boost on the launch but I came on much quicker and harder. I lost both my tach and shiftlight but still shifted flawlessly. Unfortunately the car didn’t stick with the increased boost and I found myself in the middle of a wild ride trying to keep the car off the wall. I succeeded in saving the car but lost the round with a 12.3 @ 110 mph. http://www.facebook.com/v/3173935272996

Doesn't look like he comes on much lately. I'm using a lokar cable on my swap.

Awesome. Your almost there!

Very nice so far. I like all the re-enforcement plates!

I got mine registered on a flat bed trailer. It didn't even have a motor when it got inspected. They don't require emissions for pre 76 cars here so they didn't care. I'm sure cali is much harder though. Especially for a kit car.

You are a wiz with fiberglass. I love watching your progress.

It is a Urethane piece so I don't think it is custom. It was on the car when I bought it and has no badges for id tags on the inside so I'm not sure who made it.

I'm digging your exhaust!

Hell yeah, good work!

Beautiful shot!!

That would be a fun project. That is a pretty sick buggy in the link too. Kinda on the same wavelenght I know a place that mates Honda k motors to gm transmission. I think that would be really rowdy. I have personally tune over a dozen stock k motors well over 400 hp with turbo kits and fuel systems. One even is at 525whp on the stock motor and drives the hell out of it. http://www.mazworx.com/product/drivetrain/enginetrans-adapter-kits/individual-adapter-plates/kseries-to-gm-midplate

I'm liking the build. Keep the updates coming.

Thank you!
