The average shop has a $65 an hour flat rate. So if you average it out.. thats 38 hours. Now I'm sure some shop can attempt it.. but Vildini has done this swap many many times and will provide a flawless install. DIY or try a diff. shop if you don't like the price.

I was just teasin about the paid endorsement Ohh this is so exciting!!

I love how the exhaust dumps in the rear diffuser.. saweeet

LoL.. paid endorsement?! =) Thats great to hear it makes a big big difference!!

fantastic job!

Check out my write up about my ITB's http://forums.hybridz.org/showthread.php?t=128284 For an online calculator check out the Velocity of Sounds website http://www.velocity-of-sound.com/velocity_of_sound/calculator1.htm Injector placement is totally up to you.. you can do stand off injectors... injectors right at the head or mid stream.. I decided to stick with injectors at the head for a somewhat retro stock look lol. Plus I wanted to use the same injectors and fuel rail without too much modification.

are those normal ZG flairs or the big ones offered by S30zforce?

Shoot me a P.M. I have a good 1978 280z driveshaft with good u-joints. Swapped the transmission for a Z32 5-speed.. so I no longer need it.

wow.. that was a terrible video watching the same car drive by the camera with the same angle.. about 200 times over and over Austin.. dont do this lol

wow that looks remarkably unsafe in the event of an accident with the speaker on the roof like that.. or is the photo taken at a weird angle

Those look fantastic!! I may follow in your foot steps! again

work for me =)

Ospho is basically Phosphoric acid and a few other chemicals mixed in.. So if ospho isn't available.. home depot and lowes will carry a phosphoric acid in the paint department

Since putfile.com went under.. I'm updating this post with all the pics throughout the thread in one post.. ** This is the older design.. since this picture was taken, I purchased an aluminum welding kit for my Lincoln 120v MIG. (Thread and pictures here = http://forums.hybridz.org/showthread.php?t=147521&highlight=aluminum+MIG ) I cut the runners down and re angled them to allow the plenum to fit so I don't have to use the 180* degree bend.. plus its super ugly with the rubber hose lol

Well it looks like Putfile.com went under.. and I can't edit my post in this section of the forum.. so here are the pics on PhotoBucket.com ** This is the older design.. since this picture was taken, I purchased an aluminum welding kit for my Lincoln 120v MIG.

Well I just talked to a tech at eastwood.. he owns this model and loves it.. I asked for complete honesty and said I may even upgrade.. but he told me that the $279 model is plenty for my application and compressor. The 1 year return policy is a HUGE plus. I would never use it and return it like 75% of the customers at Home Depot do.. but if I'm unsatisfied.. and isn't how the product is advertised.. return it may be I think i'm going to give it a go.. with your typical Hybridz follow up.. pictures and even a video of the blasting =) - problem is I'm cheap.. if I spend $250-300 on having a shop blast the car.. i have a stripped car and thats it.. but with $300 I can strip my own car and walk away with a blaster I can sell for say $200.. or strip future projects.. help friends out etc etc.

it looks like your welds have quite a bit of porosity.. did you clean the metal and ensure you had a proper ground?! Also grinding down your welds may not pass inspection depending on what sanctioned group you want to run with. Its hard to tell but did you grind the diagonal and horizontal supports?! Other then that.. good work on the cage.

Well it looks like my compressor should handle it! Compressor is rated for 10.2 SCFM @ 90psi ... and the Blaster is rated at 7 cfm @ 80psi!! =) 60 day return policy.. just have to pay for shipping. I appreciate everyone for their input!! I will continue my research and inform you guys of the results!

World Rally Championship cars are extremely difficult to find pictures of for some reason.. at least in English. The Abu Dhabi WRC Ford Focus has a really neat radiator ducting setup that I've only had a chance to look at during the 3 day rally events broadcast by EuroSport.. and now HD theater. Jon have you recorded any of the WRC events that HD theater is now hosting?! Notice where the exhaust vents are on the hood! outside rear corners of the hood!! hmmm I know its tiny http://www.rallypoland.com D. Kalamus

Well I have a big 60 gal Husky compressor.. and it looks like Marine1342 bought the exact soda/abrasive blaster I'm looking at buying from Eastwood!! Hmm.. Im going to ask Eastwood about their return policy if I'm not happy lol. I could use the blaster for many many other things in the future!!

man thats sexy.. im glad my car is completely tore apart so i can re-do everything and do it right!! Awesome template!! can't wait to see it all finished!!

Do I see a polished aluminum pipe and silicone couplers on your injector cooling fan?!

im actually pretty surprised by the responses!! I thought the machines would be "ok".. for at least $300 !!! ouch! Are they completely useless?!

After spending weeks with a wire wheel and sand paper and chemicals.. I'm going crazy... Having the car on a rotisserie is great, but I still can get the damn thing clean and all the undercoating off.. I'm stripping the under body, interior and exterior paint.. basically everything lol. I'm considering Eastwoods Soda Blaster starter kit that you can convert to an abrasive blaster for rust removal and soda for paint etc.. http://www.eastwood.com/soda-blasting/soda-blasters/soda-blaster-starter-kit-w-media.html I've looked into Harbor Freight Abrasive Blasters and Eastwoods "soda conversion kit" but I would prefer to buy it all in one piece that would be guaranteed. I've looked into having a shop blast it.. they want about $250.. plus i have to have the car towed to the shop. Ouch. Might as well buy my own blaster So anyway.. How do you like your soda/abrasive blaster?! Worth the $300?!

lol the Ferrari F430 has a V8.. and quite a mighty V8 at that.. Don't forget the infamous Ferrari F40.. twin turbo V8 =) V12's sound purrty.. but Ferrari got it right with the F430
