    tranny, clutch, t/o bearing combo, which one?

    in Drivetrain

    Posted

    I've searched but have not been able to find a difinitive answer to this question. I have a 240mm fidanza flywheel and act full face clutch/PP which I plan on using with my zx 5spd. Which clutch fork, t/o bearing and slave cylinder combo should i use? I understand that some combinations do not provide enough throw to completely disengage the clutch.

    Bosch Mercedes injector question

    in Fuel Delivery

    Posted

    I think I answered my own question. The injectors which I have are D-Jet while my harness is L-jet. I just ordered some D-jet plugs from SDS and I'm ready to go. Clifton, any idea where I could find the 0280150041 injectors? I asked my parts guy who got me my other Bosch injectors and he had no listing for them. Do you know what model/year they came on ? Was it an MB?

    Bosch Mercedes injector question

    in Fuel Delivery

    I have searched but have found no answer to this question. I have a set of Bosch mercedes injectors (280150036). These injectors are turquoise where the plug from the harness connects. The stock Bosch harness is simular but will not fit these injectors. I was led to believe that these injectors would be direct drop in fit. Do I have the wrong version/year injector or do I just need to splice in new plugs to my SDS harness. Where can I find new connectors to fit?

     

    Thanks

    Turbo Motor Build advice

    in Nissan L6 Forum

    Posted

    The bottom end of my turbo motor is currently being torn down and evaluated by the person who will be doing the machine work and assembly. Depending on what he finds, I was planning on doing a stock rebuild with the addition of forged pistons, leaving the CR close to stock. My RWHP goal is in the 300-350 range. It was suggested to me that another option would be swapping out the 280xzt rods and replacing them with 9mm 240z rods and forged pistons which Dave at AZC sells. I believe that this would in effect up the CR to approx. 8.4-1 to 8.5-1. I was told that this would make the motor less of a dog off-boost and would be able to reach my HP goals using less boost. I plan on using my SDS to control everything. My question is this: does it make more sense to go with the Stock CR which would leave a larger margin of error when tuning etc. or is it over conservative considering the superiority of todays stand-alone (SDS) EFI systems? All opinions welcome!

     

    Thanks

    Problems with Tokico Springs in a 240Z

    in Brakes, Wheels, Suspension and Chassis

    Posted

    I'm not sure what my next move will be. At this point the car is not fun to drive. I did get the springs/struts (HP's) from JDMwerks. I used the energy Suspension Master kit and I did cut the bumpstops. I'm aware of the Arizona Z springs, seems that the feedback is all positve. I was also considering Suspension Techniques springs but I'm worried that I'll end up in the same spot I'm in now.

    Problems with Tokico Springs in a 240Z

    in Brakes, Wheels, Suspension and Chassis

    Just spent the better part of a week and a half doing struts, springs,sway bars and bushings on my Z. When I get the car back on the ground the front ride height is way low. The front Tokico springs are almost completely compressed. I thought that both front and rear Tokico springs were linear. So I call tokico's tech dept. and send them a pic of the front springs at rest. They return my call after receiving my email and tell me that the front springs are progressive and the rears are linear!??? He states that the progressive rate springs bunch-up more thats why they look like they do. The Tech person was very nice and did return my calls promptly but a think that their springs for this application are crap. Has anyone else had this same problem? I knew that I should of done coilovers!

    what injector size to match future upgrades?

    in Fuel Delivery

    Posted

    Go bigger than 370cc, like 440cc or so, youll make 300rwhp with much less duty cycle. 450cc (or are they 420cc) Mercedes 450 sel injectors slip right in. I would suggest these over the 370s, especially if you are going to keep the stock turbo.

     

    I definitely plan on upgrading the turbo at some point. Will 450cc's work w/ the stock turbo as well as a t3/t4 with a 300-350rwhp goal?

    I am in the beginning stages of building my L28et for my 240Z swap. I'm planning on the following set-up to start......P90 head, N42 intake, 60mm TB,

    Stock T3, Spearco intercooler w/ 2.5" piping all contoled by an SDS EFI system. My question is this, what injector size should I use? My ultimate goal is to upgrade the turbo to a T3/T4 hybrid and I would like to buy injectors only once. What if any injector would work with the stock turbo and still be large enough to feed the larger turbo? My goal is 300 or so rwhp.
