Oil pumps are stock on eurospec turbos!! even on the gearbox! so nissan might even carry them in the us!

Mike they are in the UK

Tony didn't you have some wiring issues on that car aswel? such a shame as it the most shiny car .. i bet it would do great at the autox next year ! Pretty sure you have gone over this .. but did you ever think of yanking out all the wires and redoing them? it has to be in there somewhere.. Or in the MS unit itself.. but i bet you tested that! On the other hand im sure you would be able to trace the problem if you had time to work on the spider nest and not being send all over the country ..

Seems to work, i have 10s on the rear of min and just had to roll in the lip as it rubbed a bit .. The fronts are fine .. however i would just fit before buying! as the 38.5mm offset .. i don't know what i have

yup Alan Thomas has cars with s20 engines running... i would not be surprised if he has a ly head somewhere to haha

OK found out it is jim cook racing i send a mail to check if they only sell the manifold at a prize that is more reasonable than having one custom built, as i still have to fiddle with it .. anyone here have one to spare ?

It is an eaton of a pontiac GTP It looks like this!(not an actual pic!) So very close to yours. How did you find that manifold *edit* i found out it is a kit but from where and $?? *end edit* did a search om JCR intake manifolds but to no avail that is no buying adress .. sure would make life easier!. Seeing the pics confirms my initial plans of mounting, i just need to modify an intake (read built) How did you solve your belt drive? i have ideas, and have seen easy adaptable Pulleys for them on the summit site And dont worry i hate carbs.. im planning on MsS for this with a wide band o2 nice harbor freight engine stand btw

Z YA Thanks!!! This is a very usefull reply.. do you have a close up of that intake? As im still debating an intake to modify to accept the SC. I have also thought of an standard IC but then the SC would have to move to the pass side of the car with a tank under it ... any ideas on this ? i would be less hassle while in use than a water injection of some sort .. your horspower seems very close to my goal, as this is plenty on most tracks And what do you mean by FI only ?

He tony ill drop a line to so what and how.. i still lean somewhat to a super turbo though ! and just have one real hc NA set up for the fun. as i have Cosworth Forged pistons with a dome that will skyrocket the compression and a very nice cam to compliment this set up. The supercharger solely is just a thought as a test bed so to speak. Anyhow the ZXR is coming along fine and will be primered this week.. the project is well moving at snail pass Looking forward to next MSA!

hmmmm this makes my 'dream' viable again ... a supercharged turbo l28et .. it is all in my mind and on the drawing boards.. i have expert help on this .. sure wish i could hear it run !

Just some extra input the euro squizpad flat tops take about 2 cc of space .. my e88 head is either 38 or 42 cc i have the remeasure ( chambers have been changed etc) these pistons with a p90 make the comp 8.7 but i would want to be above 9 round the 9.5 mark any ideas given this imput

hmm intresting so you would say low 9's or high? i just wonder what boost i can run at what CR given this set up. the supercharger from what i understand doesn't do much above X rpm.. It just has to be there to fill the low rpm to mid range The only way to drop the cr would be using a hks or a copper ( that i have laying around ) but for the simplicity a felpro gasket would be nice.. should have my books here to see what comp ill get with the cosworth pistons ... anybody know ? btw i did search but most of the post go in detail on turbo applications.. i wonder where they differ from sc.. I would wonder how you would go about this given the facts of the pistons and e88 head

OK here it goes guys i have been talking to tony and with xander about this idea ... kjones did it .. but !!! her is my goal! I want to build one of my cars to be a good allround track/autox car .. im planning to do this with an eaton charger at 8 psi of boost the charger is a 3.8 GM (pontiac gtp) Unit. I will use a cam as i want to max out round 7K rpm and have power from 2500 rpm and up or possibly lower, that is where in theory the SC should help ported e88 and here is the catch !10:5 compression, i will run MsS im looking for 250 and the highest possible avarange HP to the ground combined with torque I will run 98 octane gas here are some details i can choose from four cams: 270*/.475 290*/.490* 306* / 530* 290* / 600* SO witch one would you use knowing it is a supercharged car as well .. i would think the 290*/.490* Then how about the compression ratio? would you bring it down?? like said i dont want big boost numbers. but maximum. at this point im not planning forged pistons but eurospec flat tops.. these are listed in the NISMO parts list, these have a dome some that is how the compression gets up there.. The other choice would be to use a set of Cosworth pistons ( domed) i have laying .. They use 240 rods and are the ones that are pictured in the how to modify book.. But i would bet they up the compression even more to a region that i cant boost em without using full race gas!. however i could compensate that with a copper HG the head is a fully prepped e88 and it will exit through a MSA 6-1 header and a 2,5 or 3" exhaust the bottom line is us euros have not got loads of experience with superchargers ... who can fill me in .. i know a good na set up could even bring me that power but a supercharger is just cool to have ... What would you do .. any input is welcome here

can someone sticky this!!

HE man that is another great creation .. that would be sweet for classic revival festivals /track time !!

lets talk some wheels

that would work wonders apart from the fact you need adapters and the eurospec diff is a 3.3 not a 3.5.... and it has a diff cooler witch is not a bad idea to install in the first place a 3.3 would not be to bad as turbos do like load .. however for drag racing i would ask around here .. I have driven a turbo with a 3.7 one and a late 83 gearbox ( europsec so longer filth gear) but in my opinion ( mostly track time and road driven) the first gear becomes completely useless .. and the second does have load to be effective.. however this is in my book .. i would be interested in measuring 0-60 times with different diffs..as it would be allot more accurate than back in the seat feeling.. well talk tomorrow come buy don't forget the speedo lol ..as you have the pistons there haha

Well like told on the phone, ill be there agian as soon as we know a date ill book a flight, Bruno wanted to come aswel haha .. im planning on putting four decent cars in a container ( cartainer ) well ets see .. MSA presale .. autox 600 z's!!! Fun with tony and his army of black widows!! IM THERE !!

you and Xander are just afraid of turns haha well xander hates em he thinks he is no good at them so he claims.. in my opinion his car just did not handle up to spec in assen either.. .. Autox you should try .. it is like a track same techniques.. all we need is a big open parking lot... i loved it

BTW !! the zxr is coming along fine i just have a hard time with the decal kit.. the paint will be fine .. it is SO nice to own a calli car .. i learned to hate rust haha !

Yeah that rustrocket went from me to a guy to rick to me ... haha we kind have shared ownership over here LOL i kind of got it home so to speak. Anyhow z's are not made for dragracing .. we should set up autox here !!

It is called a bre spoiler cause in the US they where never the stock spoiler on a z .. the euro cars did .. but BRE introduced them to the biggest z market public .. not to weird they call it BRE style .. better that oem spoiler as nobody would understand what you would be talking about. it is like googling ... it is all most THE word to use to search something ..
