Are there any updates on this? Seems pretty interesting just curious if any progress has been made. Tyson

Yeah I know nothing huge but everything had a place and was well organized. Did you get to see the SR20 as well? Or their crazy SR Miata?

ALL I CAN SAY IS SEXY!!!!! I like it a lot. How'd you like there shop Confused? Pretty cool place, seeing there installs in person is always fun. Tyson

You know if that was to scale you could fill in the body and solve everybodies aerodynamics problems by testing everything on a scale model . Anyways looks cool what type of wire are/did you use? Tyson

Is that the only option of forged Rods are for the L24? With the custom pistons most people use Ross or JE correct. If I were to go through with this (seen as far future) any MM height that I'm looking for? Thanks Jmortensen. Tyson

Out of curiosity I'm looking for forged Rods for an L28ET, now Top-End says they have one made by Pauter for an L28 http://www.racetep.com/pauter.html . However when I looked on Pauter's website the only offer one for the L24 http://www.pauter.com/nissan.htm . Am I missing something here or is Top-end being misleading?? Tyson

HAHAH yeah its a little out there. Never seen it in person and yes i do agree gotta git rid of those bug-eye lights. I guess the one second way down on the left is the bravossa http://www.renegadehybrids.com/914customers.html needs a couple of designer touches to look good. I don't like leaving things stock I guess thats why i hang out here. Tyson

http://www.kitcar.com/fiberjet/home.html theres the body kit I like couldn't find it earlier. You have to scroll down to the Bravossa. Sorry for the confusion iskone, hope that didn't come off as an attack.

According to this sight Chevy V8's do work. http://www.renegadehybrids.com/main.htm Must say I do like this 911 http://www.renegadehybrids.com/customer_files/RandyHill.html However my personal preference is the 914 with a 400hp light LS1 is an easy 9 second car. Add some suspension, a good widebody kit nice and sexy. It will be my next project once i get money and am on my own You could even go this extreme http://www.v8914.com/ Hope you enjoy the links and keep me updated. Tyson

Alright well I can only imagine what some of those who have been around Hybridz for a long time feel about newbies. I've heard that they are trying to figure out some sort of testing for new members to test their competency. Well I guess this is a poll to see what everyone else thinks should be done. I know that there are some of new members who have provided great information and this isn't directed towards them its towards the "Can you swap a V8 into a Z?" people. Tyson

DROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Nice work stony, jealousy is the only mindset right now though Tyson

I kinda like it. I remember when you first posted a photoshop image a while back and was kinda worried that the lights would over power the rear end "look" of the car but it doesn't. The only think i think that would really make the back end look good is doing either a duel exhaust look at the back or place the two pipes in the middle directly under the license plate. Good work though and keep us updated Tyson

Ouch, I think the vids explain it all. Baywatch to this.... http://www.ifilm.com/ifilmdetail/2433520 Tyson

One day?!?!?! One stinking day?!?!?! Psh.. right now i can go 13 days without hearing a repeated song. And its only the 20 gig. Tyson

Gosh I love Apple. Best stuff ever, and that thing is pretty slick. It'll be less than a couple of years before the come out with the huge gigabite ones that size. Tyson

Well if you wanted to do it there is a company called http://www.renegadehybrids.com/main.htm I almost did a conversion in a 914 back in high school Tyson

Alright well I went down to Vildini this weekend, got a ride in Alex's SR20DET 240Z. The pictures, the video, and the audio clips are nothing compared to what that car is like in person. At first I was skeptical about the little 4cyl and I think that Alex can attest to my shock when he step on it getting on the freeway, by the "O-face" that was plastered across my head. That thing is wicked, it sounds nice and deep, none of the toy ricer sound that we all hate. The pictures can't even come close to show the true super-clean installation and work done by Vildini. I think Alex needs to get a picture of the rear-end exhaust setup because its pretty slick. It was awesome a great weekend all together, saw a very nice Skyline of theres and again super clean work. Alright well I'm going to quit drooling over that car and the craftsmanship and go to sleep to dream of me driving that car . Tyson

Aux, have you heard the new Slipknot CD. I like it a ton its no longer the screaming metal like you were referring to. Very very good, one of my favorite new CD's. Tyson

Oh come on just a whole in the block, quit being a sissy and weld it back up with some diamond plating. Yeah that doesn't looking like a fun little ordeal. Keep us posted on how that new engine works. Tyson

Hey, you don't by chance have one for sale do you? My pause button is getting sticky and restart is now fast forward. I'll give 5 dollars for it. Come on thats a great deal. Tyson

I'm there. Tyson

The second one is Darius, and the last I'm guessing (didn't load) is Austin 240hoke ?? So I'm pretty sure thats 2 out of 3 what do i win? Tyson

I had never thought about setting rev limiter and that such some very good ideas to help me gain his trust. Thats not bad hp gain for just a cam and MAF. I want to have something clarified. The heads on the 5.7LT1 if they were to be put on a 4.3LTI would drop the compression a lot correct? Could this be solved by upping compression with the pistons? This website http://www.automotiverebuilder.com/ar/ar99928.htm says that the heads are not interchangable at least going from the 4.3 to the 5.7 but what about vice-versa. I'm not looking into swapping on the new heads since you've stated its not worth the money, but would like it clarified. Do you have to worry about the 5.7L valves hitting the block because of the smaller bore on the 4.3L or what? One more question for you, do you have a software program that allows you to calculate these numbers or are you doing it all by hand and knowledge? (I'm not questioning the legitamacy just would like to play with numbers myself), Tyson

I'm not asking you to help decieve my dad. Its not my intention, what I mean is that I'm not going to be radical. And the way he sees HP is based off of cubic inches. I did some research on some Camaro Forums about the OBII last night, its not just the slightly more complicated tuning but there is an increased cost for the parts. (newer market) I'm sitting down with my dad today and going over the options (hoping I have some levearage over him because its my b-day). I'm going to talk about the 350LT1 First bone stock, if no then go to the 327 LT1, if no on that then the 305TPI, and if no on that well it doesn't look like I'll be doing a V8 conversion any time soon and would be looking into different engine options AGAIN... As for you pushing the LT1 I've seen it, but considering its the FI system that I've been leaning to throughout the majority of this post its all good. That being said I'm not blindly following just yours nor anyone else who chips opinion, I am taking into account that you seem very well versed into cars, camaro engines, etc. and do GREATLY APPRECIATE all of the help. Going to try and find out about the Smog regulations or try to get a Smog book instead of going by the "Well its this"..."No, its this" sort of thing which unfortunately happens. Wheelman bout time you chipped back in here. The largest cons I see against the LSx is the cost $3000 for a half cut, and the harder OBII. I see an LT1 as being a better setup to go with. The beck racing setup i think is what you were want to do with the Caprice internals to get that 302 of yours. I understand the from a Dad point, however I'm paying for all engine work and mods, and even partial cost of the body mods. He is going to be taking on the brunt of the bodywork costs. However I still fall under the "not under my roof situation." which lends itself to problems. Well i'm off to lunch so I'll be while before I can reply. Tyson

Well it seems that the shortest stroke that Eagle makes is 3.250" to be used with a 5.7 Rod. I don't know if that gets me close to a 302 to or not I think its closer to a 327. But close to $700 for a 4340 Crankshaft seems kinda high, for just a crankshaft (I could be wrong.) http://www.eaglerod.com/products/Chevy/small%20block/SBC%20cranks.html Heres some interesting ideas on getting a 302 from a 350 block http://www.beckracing.com/page17.htm More research on the way. I don't see why everybody makes such a big deal about the pistons? Especially since its standard 350 bore. Is there some connection I'm not seeing here? Jack as for the dad seeing mild (in cubes) and actually being mild is different. I want to pull as much hp as possible out of fairly small cubes. And you're right there is a lot more involved to mess around with OBII, so that bumps out the 4.8L Truck motor. Tyson
