I have one on my car at the moment. I just got her running and somewhat tuned about a week and a half ago just to find that the stock turbo clutch setup will not hold the torque at all. So she is sitting and waiting on clutch parts to arrive. I have 2.5" exhaust all the way back and when I goto 3"(very soon, 2.5" was what I had on the car already) I will upgrade the DP as well. You are right though. It's a VERY NICE pce of work. The quality is top shelf... I do not know it's limits yet. A tool you might want to look into getting is the LM1 wideband O2 setup. I have one and it's awsome. That's if you don't have one already.

I made a few 14mm O-ring rails in the past. All were fine but 2 of them. They were replaced and from what I gather (i was not shown pics to know for sure) at least one of the ppl who bought it was creating the problem. Trying to install the wrong injectors. In a sence, he ordered the wrong rail. I didn't know this at the time plus I could not replace his due to him modding the rail by drilling on it. I offered to do whatever needed to be done. The 14mm O-ring rail is under redesign. A better setup is in the works with VERY clean brackets and You would have to rip the rail apart or off the intake itself for it to leak. The problem with 14mm O-ring injectors is the top O-ring does not sit deep enough into the rail. A have found a way around this and I am searching for a supplier for the parts needed. I will not be selling any 14mm O-ring rails till I have some prototypes of this redesign tested fully. If you need an 11mm O-ring rail, I can make it for you. I have made many and I am running one myself. Tried and true, they do the job well.. because my rails fit many different 11mm injectors, some tweeking or shimming may be needed on the brackets to adapt to your set of injectors. For the most part My 11mm O-ring rails bolt right up to mostly all 11mm O-ring injectors. Yes I still make rails, I just don't have alot of time to make and sell on ebay. Alot of ppl are ordering custom rail and keeping me busy. Email me if your interested.

I have one that i was running about a month ago till I went turbo... I polished the valves and blend the chambors a little. it's a good head. Mine is out of an 83 with the larger valves. Email me if your interested. pallnet@hotmail.com

Very nice looking pce James. I like..

<-Proud to be Forrest's friend.... Not to mention the safer feeling I have...

Yes Ivo has a Haltech EFI on his car. I don't think he has nitrous. pallnet

Lookin good Ivo.. I'm not so sure about that shirt.. You better not wear that thing around me next time I see ya..

None of your business, Ivo. hahahahahahaaha

I'm with Forrest on this one Frank. If all is well, i'm in!!!!

I have a set of conquest wheels that I was gonna do the same project a little while back. I came across a set of panasports for cheap and put the conquest wheels aside. If you need the set of them for your conversion, send me an email. Check my feedback on ebay. I'm a straight shooter, so to speak. Oh yeah, i have front 5 lug hubs too.

Sorry I do not have time to post often on any sites anymore. making and modding parts. Here are 2 of my pics pages. http://groups.msn.com/monkeysphotos/shoebox.msnw http://groups.msn.com/pallnet/shoebox.msnw Here is an old pic of my intake right before I put it on the car. Still looks nice to this day Thansk.. pallnet

The casting is not finished being milled. It is a beautiful pce of work. The chain hole looks to be too small for a double row chain as well, all in the milling that needs to be done. Great find..

I have not built a stroker yet. I have had all the parts to make it happen a few times just something gets in the way money wise. My feeling on that is if I had to rebuild a stroked motor. I would have them balance it all again. With knowing that balancing is the key to a good stroker. I wouldn't go short on a rebuild. There are some ppl out there running the turbo stoker and doing well with it. I see no reason why it can't be done if you have the funds to do it right and the homework being done to back you up..

early RX7's from a N/A motor are 460CC low ohms. 11mm O-ringed at the top and you will have to drill out the intake for the tips but, it's nothing major at all. you will do best with a custom rail for the O-ring type of injectors. i have heard of ppl clamping hose on them but, that's just not the way i work.. good luck.. pallnet

Z22 pistons are out of what? is that the naps Z motor that is in the trucks and some 200sx's? can a domestic piston be used? you can get forged piston sets for under 500 from summit for domestics. mack is that changing the crank as well or running the stock crank? will there be a deck height issue to worry about? best of all, is there a good site for all the questions i have? hahahahahhaha

the webbing is bareble if you shave off all the nipples and unused fittings then powder coat, paint or just plain polish the crap out of that thing. look at your intake closely. there are drain holes at the flange in the middle of each webbing. this is to drain off water but, if you have a leak, it will drain off also. the holes are right above the E manifold.

yeah, those questions....

This is one way i had test the LEXAN TB spacers. I gave a handfull of them out with the out to ppl i knew that raced and some that drove their cars hard on the street. I had about 4 of them floating around and there was the one on my car. They lived in different climates. This went on for right under a years time (11 months).. Nothing bad was said so after all the test I performed, the spacers surviving real world conditions and what I knew about LEXAN. I felt that it would be a safe product to run on our cars. Don't get me wrong, LEXAN can be damaged, just highly unlikely in the way it's being used as a TB spacer. May be this could be one of your ways of testing. Nothing is being sold. It is a gift and the person assumes the risk of use. In return you will have their testamony as one of your proofs of reliability. 4 people to run them would be very good on your behalf. Different climates and conditions. Oh yeah Juan. heat can come from bearing too..... pallnet

I believe Juan has the tools and the know how to make the parts with an EXACT fit. The stress and HEAT these parts will have to take is where the problems lie. A lot of ppl do not put their car on only the track. We drive them on the street. You do NOT want a critical failure on the street. Track has less thinks to hit or I should say less ppl to hit. I have heard lots of things about Juans products. Some bad and some good. Samething about mine. You can't please everyone, it will not happen. Juan just make a safe part. Do the R&D even if you have to send it out to a company that specializes in it. This is a serious issue. Make sure they take video and have a data log of all the test's they run.. Good luck.

Most of the time the TPS plug is damaged or get's damaged some kind of way through the years. I often include a newer quick release type of connector with a bit of a pigtail on it in my TB kits. This solves two problems at once.

This is a very good point and one that NEEDs to be addressed. Thanks..

Juan, your a wildman putting matches next to that thing. You're lucky to be here typing today.. You could have had a bad injector that could leak on you and blow in your face. Heres a bit of advice. Use rubbing alcohol in the purest form that you can get from off the shelf at wal-mart, it's 90%. It's cheap and you will not hurt yourself if something blows or breaks loose. Wear safety glasses but, i should have to tell you that one. hahahaha Well i should say the liquid will not hurt you.. Sharpnal don't count..... If you need any pointers on testing some of your parts just let me know. I really enjoy trying to make parts fail. The testing is just as much fun as making the part.

i'm going to a yard tomorrow that has 4-5 straight 6 maximas. i too have owned one of those heads but, didn't run it. i have heard nothing but good things about them. i know they will charge me like $100.00 for each head. some say it's rape and some seem to think thats not bad. i should pull them all but, the wallet is too thin to get all of them at onetime and be able to eat regularly for a few weeks. hahahahaha..

david please take the time to goto a yard and pull the two different injectors. remove the O-rings and compare the two. you will see.. sometimes my techniques may seem crude.. but, affective
