i was just noticing that msa has the same part number as schneider cams. i was goin to call up msa today and ask, if so its an awesome deal.
-
I plan on purchasing a schneider cam, and possibly a component kit to go with it. does anyone know where to get oem style rocker arms? or even just a whole kit such as springs, retainer, rocker arms, and lash pads? im goin to buy AZ's stainless valves.
And i called up redline weber and they have 45 DCOE's in stock, webers and OER's, any recomendations? i like the looks of the webers better but ill spend 500 more for them.
-
where can i find nismo parts?
-
i see you have some sort of union block which splits you single fuel line into three. i like that, it looks sweet, you have any better pics?
-
i like the idea of an air box, but does it really have any performance purposes. i could see it having the advantages of ram air. but doesnt it quite the sweet roar of the triples when you stomp on it?
-
i finally found the keeper today, thank god. but im in no rush, i still have to order my carbs and cam before i send my head out. thanks for the help tho guys
-
dude that sucks, if i were you i wouldnt pay the rest to him, and i would def. advertise his poor skills all over the place.
what is the valve clearance when hot?
-
you guys are great, thanks for all your help
-
while tearing down my head i lost a valve keeper. does anyone know where i can find one, other than on my floor?
-
well if its been rebuilt and a new cam added, some tuning is goin to be nessecary to get it to run right. after tuning the rpm's should be kept above 2000. we dont want him running a lean engine above 2000.
-
a new cam will make it run a little rougher, ive always set it to 10 and 12 never had a problem. that wouldnt make a difference on idle that much tho. just play with your carbs if you have any to adjust your idle. other than that you sound fine.
-
why would you want a 4-barrel carb on a datsun? i want to kick the guy who designed that manifold square in his nuts. stick with SU's or webers, or somthing of that sort.
-
hey mack, which head gasket do you use with your engine, the maxima or z? thinkin about it the bore on the maxima was smaller, so the L28 z gasket would prob be the best.
-
pick yourself up a multimeter, its def worth it if you plan on doin all the work on your car by yourself. that and a test light. you will use it all the time, i do. make sure your getting the right voltage at the battery, and all that stuff. check resistance of main wires. saves alot of time then guessing. good luck
-
yea your prob better off with the e88
-
you can use your e88, assuming you have a 260 (from your name). Its a good head once you port and polish and shave a bit off the bottom. or... you can do what im planning to do this summer. i bought a 84 maxima n47 head, it has a 40cc heart shaped combustion chamber perfect for high compression. itll put your CR around 11.0 with flattop pistons. only argument against it is the steal liners in the exhaust port, like in the p79. but they dont make a huge difference. Mack is running this setup, you can ask him how he likes it.
-
my bad didnt pay attention to the year and model, def look into replacing that alt.
-
na or turbo?
-
i work at napa and my price for 4x4 loaded calipers is nowhere near $100. you guys cant forget the core charges on these calipers. some places wont except your small Z calipers as the core, but then again most people dont notice. but your cost on a loaded caliper minus the core is around $100 a side, plus new lines. but its worth every penny.
-
sounds like a regulator, which it doesnt seem you have replaced yet. often this piece fails in z cars. its the black box mouted on the fender by the alternator. you should search the forum and look for alternator upgrades. i think an 80's maxima/300zx alternator is best, internally regulated.
on a second note, those bocsh plugs you have are a waste of money, any NGK would work just as good if not better.
-
hegan, first the heads arent reffered to as 47 or 48. second no Lseries z came with a crossflow head. althought they did come on the RB Lseries skylines, heavy mods nessicary for swap. and for a list of heads that came on different blocks you can visit http://www.geocities.com/zgarage2001/z.html. here you can see the terms used to denote different heads.
-
thanks mack
-
Mack, which headers do you use? i know you have or still do run this head.
-
Thanks fl327, ill ask MSA about their headers.
And 2126, the liners in the exhaust dont make a difference, or a significant difference, in performance. And porting a mn47 can be done. The chamber volume and shape is way better than all other heads, with out any machining.
my motor.. can it hang with my friend's cars

im goin to jump out on a limb and say noo. maybe with a turbo, or serious carressing of the head, or possibly a stroker
