I used a "T" from the oil pressure sending unit, but I just have a single turbo.

I am using a set of cobra monoco's i friend sold me for a good price.

everytime someone comes over i make them watch servin it up to see your z run. no one can ever believe it!! cant wait for it to be back on the road!

Finally got around to uploading some pictures. Body work is almost 100% done now, and the engine is running strong, but leaking oil at the moment. Also still need to set the TV cable on the transmission. http://album.hybridz.org/showphoto.php?photo=3888&cat=500&page=1 http://album.hybridz.org/showphoto.php?photo=3887&cat=500&page=1 http://album.hybridz.org/showphoto.php?photo=3886&cat=500&page=1 http://album.hybridz.org/showphoto.php?photo=3885&cat=500&page=1

sweet, another turbo v8 Z. cant wait to see it!

i had the same problem. i solved it using the torch and hammer method on the collector.

there is a company on ebay selling brand new high torque mini starters for $70 I think. thats where i got mine, and it has worked great so far.

I will take some more this week on my phone. Looks a lot better with all the piping black.

yeah its a draw through set up. I picked it up on ebay for $315. The only thing i had to build was the cross over pipe and the down pipe. I also picked up a double pumper already modified for draw through for i think $87. There were a few things I had to do, my performer RPM intake was too tall so I bought a performer, and my HEI was too big so i had to buy a points. Oh and I had 10.5 compression with vortec heads so I had to get a set of 76 cc heads. But even with that all added up, I am into the whole set up less than $1000. It was worth it in my opinion just to hear it spool.

i have a couple. thats a start atleast. http://album.hybridz.org/data/500/enginefront.jpg http://album.hybridz.org/data/500/enginerear.jpg http://album.hybridz.org/data/500/interior.jpg

but of course it decided to give me some grief. I noticed a lot of smoke coming out of the down pipe, and when i pulled the inlet pipe off i could see a fair amount of oil in it. So looks like my turbo could use a rebuild. Other than that, i am pretty pleased with the engine response.

ouch, thats a shame. i hope you can find the gremlin that caused this.

you people make me so insecure about my Z. It looks sweet!

dont know yet. should have it on the road next weekend. It should make a big difference since I am 4400 ft above sea level.

okay, i finally uploaded some pics. They were with my phone though so they arent that good. http://album.hybridz.org/data/500/enginefront.jpg http://album.hybridz.org/data/500/enginerear.jpg http://album.hybridz.org/data/500/interior.jpg

argh..i will post pics here then to simplify things. i will take a couple snap shots tomorrow or tuesday of the new set up. Its kinda obscene (cross over pipe goes over the intake manifold) but i think it will be okay after it gets ceramic coated.
