    ya but my fuel cell is higher up and is sorta in my hatch area... so i cant put it where you put yours.

    BUT how did you mount the bottle straps? i was thinking of welding bolts sticking up and then just using a lock nut to make the mounts sturdy...

    but like i said not much space on my setup.

     

    i really need to go to the 2 5lb bottle setup i wanna do.

     

    mike

     

    Turn it side ways.....A 5lb bottle will be gone in a heart beat. Well unless your only using like 25HP pills, maybe 50HP pills max would get ya maybe 4 or 5 runs....that stuff disppears quick...also a bottle warmer is must if its cool out. I just ran bolts thru the floor and mounted solid. I like yiour idea though....

    mike

     

    Mike you need to get all that STUFF out of the back and it will be no problem. Here are a couple of pics, I have fuel cell, battery in the back too but plenty of room.

    Where'd the horsepower go????

    I love Q-jets! Great gas mileage and they sound wonderful and they run strong. I just don't like the looks of them. hahaha. Not a good reason to not use a carb but that is the truth. I use 750 holleys 3310 on just about everything.

     

    I tried two different eledbrock/carter carbs on two different cars but just ending up throwing them in the trash' date=' the place they belong.[/quote']

     

     

    HEHE...there ya go Pound....do the right thing....:burnout:

    Thats a nice carb. I ran the 3310 series when I used a vac secondary. I forgot to ask what your intent was. If its daily driver then yes vac sec is better. If you want all you can be then DP is the way to go. Gas mileage will sufer however. The prob with vac secs on our cars is that its hard to get them to open up being the car is so light. Putting lighter springs etc help but a pain in the butt unless you buy the quick change kit. This is the carb I have:

     

    750 cfm Classic Carb

    510-O-4779C

     

    I purchased the main body replacement from PROFORM without the choke tower for better airflow. Not saying you have to do that. The classic is awesome. I wish you could borrow a carb first to make sure thats what it is....it sure sounds like it to me though. Research and see what carb GM had on thier test engine that put out 385 horses... Im excited for ya...

    Holley Blue fuel pump question...

    in Gen I & II Chevy V8 Tech Board

    Posted

    Besides the fact that I agree that the Holley pump is less than desirable, not to mention its louder than my fricken engine, here are two other things I experienced withe fuel delivery. I would get a bubbling noise in my tank when the pump started running slower and my Fuel Pressure gauge would go from 7 to like 1 after about 1 hour of driving. I tried everything to fix the problem, then found out what it was.....

     

    VAPOR LOCK in the front carb bowl (could here it boiling). Now this was in Texas and it gets hot there. I actually tracked the temp outside that starts it....at 85 deg F it will start doing this (with hood on ofcourse). I stalled at the track several times with hood on because of it. Thats why I run with the hood off in the summer......because IT WORKS! If you dont have a fuel reg, plumb one in to track. Try running with your hood off and see if it cures the problem.

    What's your car's name?

    in Non Tech Board

    Posted

    CorZette of course. This is because I originally had an L88 Hood Cowl on her and sorta looked like a little vette, hence CorZette.

     

    The Orange one is called INAZUMA which means Lightning. I know its inappropriate because she is a show car and has no balls yet but I was looking for a Japanese word that had the Z in the middle like CorZette did. inaZuma corZette.....A quick head and cam change will cure that....OK....Im done....

    Could it be the stock Datsun fuel line (hard)? I've been contemplating getting some 3/8" aluminum or stainless steel fuel line if it'll help. Whaddya think?

     

    Well let me throw this out at ya. You say that your running a 600 Edlebrock Vacuum Secondary? My Engine and yours is very similiar except for heads and cam. I ran a 650DP Holley on mine with stock jets and the car had now power off the line or really anywhere else. Now this was a 650DP. I upped the jets like 4 sizes and she came alive. I then mounted the 750DP and it evolved to the beast of today. Your engine is putting out 385 horses bro....that requires more gas/air etc.

     

    Im not BSin here, this is from experience. I think your carb is too small and she needs more fuel/air. If you have anyone that can let you put a 750DP on her, please try it. Im almost certain youll be glad you did.

    bolt in? Awesome... JTR's are the ones I'm getting... buddy of mine had his welded in.. lol..

     

    Welded to what? That wouldnt allow you to put the engine in without EXACT alignment on the flanges to block....Maybe he had a different setup...sorry but my brain hurt thinking how that would be....:)

    Now you guys have me thinking...

    in Gen III & IV Chevy V8Z Tech Board

    Posted

    Yea' date=' guys but I think two factors are seriously being overlooked...

     

    #1. The TT motor is about to take acrap on Owen.

     

    #2. This is HybridZ and we DO NOT take lightly the whole "purist" view on ANY zcar.

     

    If the TT300ZX was as coveted as a last gen Supra, and was pulling $20K+ in resale, I would say "maybe you want to refresh the powerplant and sell it to move onto something else". But they don't. You can get them all day long for under $15K and I've seen good condition examples go for under $10K if you wait and shop for the right deal.

     

    Owen, It isn't "that" rare. If the motor is on its last leg, time to punt or hybrid the thing. :2thumbs:

     

    Again, We're HYBRIDZ. If he asked this on Zcar.com, I could see the cheerleaders coming out to defend keeping it stock. We aren't. We're HybridZ. :toetap05:

     

     

     

    Them's the rules.

    YUP! What he said....gotta love it:burnout:

    R230 Install....Tech info for those interested...

    in Drivetrain

    Posted

    Just doing some searching around and found this old thread. Ha' date=' can't grenade a 300ZXT r200 rear end I believe someone said. Well I did on a measly 365 rwhp. The rear end I used was like new as I pulled it apart before installing, clean as a whistle and tight too.

     

    Couple of hard launches with the slicks and poof...gone.

     

    I am either going solid axle or r230. Talked to the guy at Arizona Z and he said hopefully they will have a kit that allows the Ford 8.8 to go into a Z in approx. 6 months. I Can't wait!

    Mike did Arizona Z ever get the kit made?

    I think some of us would also like a CF rear mountable hatch made as well. The only current available one is WAY too expensive IMHO. I would take one. I would also be interested in a modified rear hatch with a smaller window, like half the length of stock similair but not a duplicate of Terry the Ox;s rear hatch....
