  1. If you would like to know the specs of the build please see this thread. http://forums.hybridz.org/showthread.php?t=109709 Thanks
  2. Did you accidently rotate the crank when you removed the dizzy? Because the dizzy goes at half-speed as the crank same as the cam. You can be at top dead center on the crank pulley but not on the compression stroke for the cam. You can tell if you are by putting the crank pulley at tdc opening open you oil cap and looking at the cam lobes. The one closest to the front of the car should be at 2 o'clock (looking from the front of the car) and the second cam lobe should be at the 10 o'clock position. Basically both of should be facing up slightly. Then take off your distributor cap and make sure your dizzy is facing towards the front of the car/ number 1 cylinder. Good luck
  3. I searched and only found one answer but he had aftermarket pistons. I am wondering what will stock turbo crank/rods/pistons will handle rpm whise untill something breaks or falls apart. The head will be able to handle 7500rpms. And I should be making power up to atleast 6500rpms. But if i'm still making power I was wondering what is the max I can take the rpms so that I can optimise my shift points. The engine is a turbo engine running high boost. I will need to spin it to 6500 atleast but would like 6700-6800 just to make sure I'm not making power there. Thanks
  4. I have run both the volvo intercooler and the starion intercooler. The volvo intercooler had detonation at 15psi but the starion intercooler I ran 21psi with detonation very rarely. Both of these psi were with stock efi running 25 degrees timing on an 83 ecu, and running the stock t3. Now i'm running the npr and the intercooler is by far better than the npr. So take what you will.
  5. BUMP! Just want to make sure everybody knows.
  6. You won't be able to see the thread untill you are APPROVED. This will take sometime so please be patient.

Thanks for you help. Ted
  8. Lol. For some reason I visualized you yelling powRRR while it blew up. Well that sucks that the ka broke on you. We really need to find a tranny that can handle the power. How long did you have this one?
  9. Yeah the 03 cobra had intake, exhaust, h-pipe, 15psi pulley, and some other stuff. But the kid wasn't the best driver although his 2nd was a fairly good one.
  10. 11.9 is an ok voltage for the car not running. There are four wires needed to make an alternator work. A ground, a battery wire, and two wires to tell the alternator to turn on and what voltage to control. Another think you can do is most auto parts stores can test alternators out of a car. That way you can know for a fact if its the wiring or the alternator itself. Good luck
  11. Parking garage + on3go + 73turbo240z + me + video camera + turbo z + very bored + 1/2 quart of mobil 1 oil = This http://album.hybridz.org/data/500/burnout.wmv

    260z Burnout

    Too bored for my own good.
  13. Nah this would be a poor man's drag car if anything. But this does look like something I will do someday. Thanks
  14. What would be better for 1/4 mile times a 300zx lsd or to weld the diff up for an all out drag car. This car would be trailered to and from the track. I would not be worried about reliability or turns only getting down the 1/4 mile the fastest. Btw my car is a street car and I would never do this to my car just asking cause I think of these things randomly. Thanks
  15. http://poststuff.entensity.net/032006/image.php?pic=camaro.jpg Wow umm.... yeah
  16. I run the same setup on the street with 93 octane. But at the track since I was doing alot of back to back runs I decided to put 2 gallons of 104 mixed in with about 4 gallons of 93. I probably wouldn't have had a problem but for $10 you get the added safety.
  17. Stock bumpers, horns, a/c, heater, blower, and air ducts. I still have the factory sound deadening, full interior, radio, speakers, 2nd gen leather rx-7 seats, factory battery, and really big sway bars. My z was an early 260z so it was closer to the 240z except different tail lights. Oh I also have a fuel cell but that only saved 5-10lbs at max. I thought about stripping it just for fun but I like to know what the car runs as is. I think I could get another 100lbs if I removed all above.
  18. Thanks guys. Yes I will be at SEZ. Look for the ugle red/primer car(blame it on z-gad:mrgreen: ). Yeah after 18 runs my clutch started to slip alittle shifting from 2nd to 3rd and 3rd to 4th, but it still held my starts. Other than that the car held up well. I wanted to really push the car so that if it broke it would do it here instead 800miles away at SEZ. I wish I could lose 20-30lb-tq in first gear and then have full power for the rest of the track:( That would make my 60's alot more easier. I think I can get a 1.8 if I launch perfectly. I also have another 2psi I can go. But as you can tell by my numbers power isn't the problem. Maybe I can borrow someones DR's at SEZ and see if I can break something or get into the mid 11's:mrgreen: Umm maybe not breaking is bad.
  19. Thanks Mike me too. Just alittle more money and i'll be in mid to low 11's. My guess head, cam, drag radials, and cv's. Yes that is on stock internals. Only thing I've done to the engine is installed a stolen (on3go's) 1mm metal head gasket. On street driveability is alittle worse than the stock t3. But 12psi comes on by 3100rpms. 18psi by 3300. So nothing too bad. Plus my wastegate hole is slightly to big and alittle bit is seeping past the puck so that doesn't help anything maybe 100rpms difference. I like it though. You can NEVER blow this up. They can take 40psi on a 5.9l inline 6 and still survive. At 18psi i'm just beginning to get into the efficiency of this thing. I would recommend it too anyone.
  20. Just got back from the track. Last time I ran a 12.508 @ 117.26 Only thing I changed since the last time was I upped the boost by 1psi. Tonight it was 19psi creeping to 21psi. It only creeps between 5400rpms and 6000rpms. My fourth run of the night was my fastest with a: r/t .542 60' 1.927 330 5.202 1/8 7.821 mph 95.25 1000 10.077 1/4 11.959 mph 119.98 My first 11 second pass ever. I almost cried. My car weighed 2620 with me in it. Temp was 73 degrees with 85% humidity. Later on I ran 12.044 @ 120.21 that being my highes mph. My quickest 60ft was my only 11 for the night. I did run a 12.025 @ 119.36 with a 1.939 60ft. In total I ran 18 times. And the car never even hickuped. 7 of them I got 1.9's 60fts then about 6 in 2.0's and the rest really bad. When the air got alittle cooler and my car cooled off I started to make more power and spin instead of hooking. So my 60's got unconsistent. I just can't wait to see what this baby will do with some drag radials and a cam for better top-end.
