This Is How I Like My Viper..Twin Turbo & 2000hp!
savageskaterkid replied to slownrusty's topic in Non Tech Board
i remember seeing a similar setup in a hotrod mag, it ran 8's and was street legal, and it was on the factory 6-speed, the guy has the fastest manual car, he was about to put a TH-400 in it, but i havne't seen any updates. -
Article: "California Crackdown on Modified Vehicles"
savageskaterkid replied to Zhadman's topic in Non Tech Board
I recently just found out about the virginia thing, that you can't even lower a car or have any non-stock exhaust either, they are really cracking down, when most of the cars that are lowered and have an exhaust do not seem that loud, its the honda guys that hit redline on ever shift(like one of my buddys) that make the noise. -
Almost have the turbo running. What did I do wrong? :)
savageskaterkid replied to Thumper's topic in Turbo / Supercharger
Sounds like the ignition module, but im not sure if the turbo ones have the same module as the N/As that are prone to breaking. -
waynekarnes is right, it won't b the camaro anymore, its supposed to be a FWD car, wich destroys the whole idea of the camaro, even if they put a nice engine such as the LS7 in it, all it would do is spin the front tires off the line, and go no where......what a waste.

Get Your R200 1:9 open diff while they last!!!
savageskaterkid replied to RB26powered74zcar's topic in Miscellaneous Tech
wow, i got jipped, i didn't get a 1.9, i ended up getting a 3.9, sum1 screwed me over. -
Listen to this: "I just read my messages and really like the car and I think $800 is a very good price, but just because you were being a d!ck sending me that stupid message about me not paying for sh!t keep your piece of sh!t car." "well, if your not interested, then u don't hafta flip out over it, i was making sure you were not gonna rip me off by winning the auction and refusing to pay-now ur being a dick." I checked the guys feedback on ebay, and it said that he really doesn't like to pay for things he buys on ebay, so i told him not to bid unless he had the intention of paying for it, and thats wht i got........pretty funny though.

i have a 3.9 in my car, and it hauls sum ***, especially with a 3 speed, it still has getup and go.
-
yup, thats my crappy pictures and spelling....hahahhaah, big deal, rite now im trying to get rid of it, becuz i've had a line on a nice 280Z, and i think im gonna buy it within a few weeks.

Do you know how far it does go back? You said no old cars like Z's, but did u mean all the Z's, or is an 81' too old, too?

Headlight and electrical questions
savageskaterkid replied to savageskaterkid's topic in Trouble Shooting / General Engine
well, i suppose that is a good solution for the ground, i think i may do that tommorrow, but the relay didn't help the headlights, and they were working just 2 days ago, and then a screwdriver accidently hit the wiring for it, and it shorted out. So im thinking that i may just wire it to the battery with an inline fuse, and ground it with a switch, like a nitrous type switch. -
Headlight and electrical questions
savageskaterkid replied to savageskaterkid's topic in Trouble Shooting / General Engine
well, i havn't figured out the headlight problem yet, i just drove the car home, i had a frend in a 240sx guide the way in the dark. But the shutting off problem is the same one i've been having for a long time, my harness ground wire keeps frying, on the 280zx it hooks up to a bolt on the injector cooling fan-is this a common problem that it just breaks apart-ALOT. How can i fix it, i keep trying thicker wires, but nuthing works -
I posted this in one of my threads about my car in the nontech forum, but it didn't start as a tech problem, so it will probly b more helpfull here ..........damn, i went to work, couldn't get the headlights to work, i got the backup lights to work though-blown fuse. I replaced the blown headlight fuse, but no headlights work.....damn, then it started to POUR-so i was gonna drive home-about 2 miles, and pickup my truck and drive that to my other job-about 10 miles(not driving in the rain w/o headlights). Well it was pouring so bad, that there was a cop at every corner because traffic was just crazy. and i didn't feel like getting pulled in the middle of a storm cuz my lights didn't work, so i just turned onto the highway, started to cutoff on the highway, but it didn't completely shut off till i was on the exit ramp, wich was all backed up. So i gave the car a few "love taps" (hit the dashboard)-a few minuts later it started backup, i traveled the last mile to work and almost shut off again. Could my hood vents being off cause water to get into the electrical to short out and shut the car off?- all my connections were all secure and it didn't look like anything was frayed. Could the vents b the problem? And, i know the headlights have a fuse, but do they also have a relay? I have the extra relays lying around if i need them, but wich relay is it-if it even is a relay?

pretty much, all i gotta do is get an alignment, and replace sum fuses-i cant find the fuses at my house, so i'll hafta pick sum up after school tday
-
I finnally got the car back, i was driving it for awhile, and the flashers went on and i took forever trying to find the switch cuz i thought it was in the back of the car cuz i disconnected all the panels, turns out after an hour or 2, i noticed it was hooked up the whole time, but was on the floor hanging from the dash, then i fixed it, but then i blew my headlight and backup light fuses-other than that, all i need is an alignment.

oh, i know, i imagined a bullet in my *** at the time -
This has been a horrible week!! accept for a few hours on july 4th, becuz i just hung out with a frend. But other then that, HORRIBLE. on july 4th, i was at McDonalds, and i was about to pull out of the drive-through. and the truck goes BOOOOMMMMM and smoke pours out of the hood, i thought i blew the engine to pieces or sumthing. so i just pushed in the clutch and guided it to a parking spot. Upon further inspection, it seems as though everything went bad at once-the fan siezed up becuz it hit the fan shroud, and it bent so it hit the radiator(wich i just put a brand new one in LAST WEEKEND) and the thermestat stuck.....so the pressure inside the hoses just burst. Got it home, fixed everything, put in a new cap, rotor, spark plug and spark plug wires, just becuz they were long overdue to b changed, put in a new thermastat and gasket, and other things. Ran kinda crappy, so i cleaned the combustion chamber with sum amsoil powerfoam, then it ran awesome. So its all fixed up. Well, yesterday, i almost got fired, becuz i took a lunch break and got lost for an hour and a half, and by the time i came back, the shop was closed. Last nite i got pulled. Tnite, my truck broke down, about a mile from my house, so i ditch it in a driveway, and knocked on the guys door to ask if i could leave the truck there for the nite-and the guy pulls his "peacemaker"(no joke, thats the word he used)-well, i got a damn 12 gauge pulled on me, just for knocking on his door.----WHT EVER HAPPENED TO SOUTHERN HOSPITALITY.

What other cars came with a turbo that would bolt upto the stock 280zx flange? I tried searching, but i can't get the right key words. Would a CT26 fit? or sum of those saab/volvo turbos? I really don't wanna down grade the size, i want sumthing of the same size or bigger. I know the Mk3 surpa turbo CT26 is bigger, but i wanna know if it will fit, i dont wanna hafta make a custom flange. Any other turbos?
