Project Z

My wife wants me to buy a roll cage, bucket seats and harness for my Z before she would ever ride in it again =) Funny thing was, this was last on my list and won't buy it until early next year.

mmm...sushi...maybe we should have a "Cars and Sushi" in San Diego

hahah! Me and my friend saw this ad too and he emailed him but never replied. She must be a fat lady lol!

Can you give me their info so I can ask them if they rent them out?

I will keep an eye out down here in San Diego if it does show up around here. I feel for you loss man. I hate thieves.

Wow thank you guys! I think I'll either get the Bosch or Aeromotive but really depending on my budget. I haven't found an Aeromotive pump for less than 300 but I will keep looking.

My friend made me a custom dash to replace my current semi cracked dash. He already pre-drilled the holes for autometer gauges, switches and my Apex Multichecker. Here are a couple of pictures:

I should give this to my boss because it seems all of these applies to me. That guy is a complete jackass. This morning, I called in because my wife and my mom has just gotten into a car accident. They got rear ended bad by a dumbass lady who wasn't paying attention and didn't even touch the brakes. My boss told me and I quote "Well I need you to come in and create a flowchart for our PO release process for my meeting at 10AM". If I had a second job waiting, I would've came to work to punch the hell out of him. I made his stupid flowchart then left. I'm home now waiting for my dad to pick up my mom and wife since I have to watch my daughter. Sorry for the rant.

Great car man! Please post vids of your first race for us.

Ok so I was wrong, the Walbro pumps more than the MSD. Mods can close this thread now.

So I've hit a little dip on my wallet since Christmas is getting nearer but I am still slowly obtaining the parts that I need. So far so good but it will still take several months to finish my first goal of dropping the engine in my car. I have replaced a few things on my list to meet my HP/TQ goal: Engine: L28ET with J.E. Pistons, Titanium Valve Spring & Retainers, Eagle Forged Rods, Race Rod Bearings, Crane valves, Comp Cam, Comp Timing set, HKS 2mm Head Gasket, ARP Head Bolts, Euro Damper, Port and polished Head, Bosch Alternator, MSA Billet Alumimum Alternator Adjustment Arm, High Capacity Oil Pump, and all new Gaskets Turbo System: Garrett T3T4 Hybrid Turbo, Custom Top Mount Turbo Manifold, Tial BOV, Internal Wastegate, AVO intercooler 21x8x3 core, 2.5” inlet/outlet, and Custom Turbo 3 inch Downpipe with custom 3 inch piping all the way to the exhaust (Magnaflow Turbo exhaust?). Intake: Q45 90mm throttle body, HKS Mushroom Filter, and Port matched Intake Manifold Engine Management: L28ET ECU, Greddy E-Manage Ultimate, LC1 wide band O2 sensor and controller (still need to purchase one), and GM 3 wire Map Sensor Fuel: 13 gal. Fuel Cell, Walbro 255LPH External Fuel Pump (I really don't know which one is better...), 550cc Top Feed Low Impedence Injectors (might be swapping in some 720's once the engine is broken in and I have funds to purchase them), Custom O-Ring Fuel Rail, SARD Adjustable Fuel Pressure Regulator, Vortech Fuel Management Unit, G & J Stainless Steel -8 and -6 Fuel Lines and Fittings. Ignition: Stock L28ET Distributor, NGK Platinum Spark Plugs and Wires, and MSD Coil. Is there anything that I'm missing?

I am currently searching for the correct to use for my L28ET set up. The list was already down to the Walbro 255lph external fuel pump but I wasn't sure if it would be enough for my application. I am planning on 15-25 psi of boost and my fuel set up is 550cc top feed injectors on a custom fuel rail, FMU, AFPR, -8 main and -6 return. I stumbled accross an MSD2225 pump which can pump a little bit more than the Walbro. http://msdignition.carshopinc.com/product_info.php/products_id/40016/2225 I am aiming for 400-500hp. Pardon me as I don't know anything about fuel delivery and I have searched about this MSD pump but didn't get the info that I needed. Please advise.

Nice! I'm aiming to get the same or more.

me too! that thing is pure sex! great job!

A little change in set up. I will now run 550's on a custom fuel rail and using a SARD AFPR with a Vortech FMU. Hopefully with this, I can attain my first goal of 400 at the crank.

Which one?

Actually, Dork means a Whale's Penis. I wouldn't want to sport Dorky leather lol!

Oh the humanity! Can I use your car to eat off for a week? lol! That thing is uber clean! Fantastic job!

Where's the sweet driving vid? C'mon quit with the suspense!

yeah, where?

aww man I would love just to sit on the passenger side. Your Z's are a thing of beauty!
