And don't forget...these always that cheater shot of NOS to aid spool! LOL

Way rich, as in puke black smoke out the tailpipe. 0.63 should give you boost at 3,000 or before in any gear. The 0.83 will be higher, over 3,000 but well before 4,000. It's a nice A/R for sustained high speed driving in places like West Texas where you can cruise in vacuum at 75-80 mph and hammer it to pass with instant boost. With the 0.63 in my car at that speed it was "zero" manifold vacuum and any sort of throttle application put my into 3psi of boost...manageable, but not the greatest for fuel economy. The 0.48 I had was on the wastegate at those speeds, in an AutoX it was making full boost at 1,700 and I would short shift to second to let the torque pull me. You need 11-12:1 AFR up to around torque peak...then you need to pull fuel like crazy. The final runs on the S130 were near 12.8:1 AFR at 7,200 at 17psi making over 600hp on a GT35. The GT30 will obviously be lower flow, but you get the idea.

Sounds right for a generalist e-shop. A high performance specialist shop would likely be in the $120+ per hour range. The question is, "new harness supplied / hack stock harness" or "manufacturing new harness"? That could make a huge difference in time and hourly charges....

Well sonofabitch, they still ARE available new! Only $1,330....

Oh, so it did have a dry sump later on... Maybe that's where I got that ARE Dry Sump Pan.

OH that article is SO full of crap it's not funny. I have SCRUPULOUS documentation showing cost of ownership of a 1962 VW since I bought it. My total cost of maintenance was $345 a year driving 26,000 miles a year. That's 1.3 pennies a mile for maintenance costs of tires, oil, tune up, etc. Gas/Petrol was a wash with new cars being it got anywhere from 23 to 27 mpg depending on speed and driving conditions. My 260Z is similar, returning 27mpg at 65 mph highway speeds, linearly dropping to 19mpg by a 100 mph + average speed, with cost of ownership over 110,000 at near NIL in terms of real money. Some heater hoses, tires, brake pads... Acquisition price was $225, and total cost of ownership when I took my first 3,000 mile trip was $731 and MOST of that cost was TIRES!

How about this: I bought an old RELIABLE car because it was cheaper to buy, cheaper to maintain, cheaper to own, and it's not looking like everything else on the road. I LOVED when I would take my 1962 VW Bus and Jump my dad's 79 Impala (this was 1980...) when it got cold outside. He would joke and poke about my old bus. But when it was freezing, who started who? And who could drive to work after a dash from the house in Jeans and a T-Shirt (Gas Heater)? Don't buy the lie: Old does NOT mean "Unreliable"!

nocroposting bastiges...

The Mechanical TB stuff is Eggers and Vickers -- at least what Shewbrooke was selling. He also had some straight units. He had a Aviad Pan, but it wasn't a dry sump it was the external pickup conversion to the stock L-Series Pump I got the head, Frank 280ZX got the cam, and JeffP bought the roller rockers. The head did not sell for $700. Mowhahahahaha!

That's in-line. Unless you buy it all done out of China...

There was a bidding service that would do the YahooJP Auctions Trans Shipping... I was doing it for guys in Europe with American Muscle Parts...Craigslisters that didn't wasn't to ship to another state, much less out of the country. They just used me as the shipping address, and then I would inspect, repack for economy, and post it along.

Pete, you just got greedy!

I just did this on my Mac...

Sure, what do you mean by 'better'? Reasonably priced, reputable, delivers what is asked. What more do you want? Quantifying what could be 'better' will help determine the proper answer.

At least you don't have to cut your cam to clear the counterweights...

www.burnsstainless.com Collectors and comprehensive header design and fabrication instructions. Damn nice collectors!

1.62 km/sec isn't even close... But it is "Superman fast" as speeding bullets aren't that speedy (SR71 shot itself as it ran through it's own hail of bullets! "X-15, the Original Mach-5"!

"Free, and come to pick it up it's yours" is overpriced in the American Datsun Community in my experience!

The umbrella the girl carries on the Morton's Salt Box now makes perfect sense!

There is no "best", it depends on the application and individual. Where have I read that before? It was someplace here...

Is THAT what all that white stuff is in the Facebook Photos I keep seeing? During this "Winter" salt falls from the skies in the "Rust Belt" to kill cars and other metallic objects?

"Best"?
