Inspired by the Head cooling on cylinder #5 thread (http://forums.hybridz.org/topic/59029-head-cooling-on-cylinder-5-solutions/), I decided to make my own diagrams of the cooling system for US Z/ZX L6 engines. I had to exaggerate and diminish a few proportions to maintain decent flow while using a flat layout. These charts are as accurate as far as my knowledge and research have shown so far. I will gladly accept any corrections and update accordingly. The year cutoffs are approximate and do not reflect all of the small month-to-month changes of course. On the ZX diagrams, some cars got the th

Rolling with the punches a 75 280Z v8 Refresh
hwvigo posted a topic in S30 Series - 240z, 260z, 280z
Hello Im Will and this is my 75 280Z the day I recived it as a birthday gift from my dad the the original owner. And this is my dad the day he bought the car in 1975. In 1990 my dad made the choice to do a sbc swap in to his z and this was the result A nice but low cost swap that has stood up to the test of time . Over the years the car has had many different carb setups but this was the state of the motor when I got the Z. And its a bit tired and needs some new life breathed in to it , and thats just what i am going to do . Please feel free to offer helpful ti -
Hi everyone, Thought I'd post my layout for an oil cooler with measurements and the like if anyone wants to replicate or take some design cues from it in the future. I'm planning on running it bosozoku style with the lines outside and will probably tuck the cooler just behind the bumper but visible. As for the pieces I'm going to be using I have the quantity, name and number listed: (1x) Earls Oil Cooler 4x13x2" 41308ERL (2x) Jegs -8AN Polished Banjo- 555-101022 (1x) 15' -8AN SS Braided hose 555-100923 (2x) Jegs -8AN Polished straight fitting 555-101002 (2x) Jegs -8AN to 3/8" NP

Its been a while sense I've posted here so I thought I'd throw these pics up. I'll preface this by saying I'm running a 3.2 Rebillo motor on 110 with ITB's and an Adaptronic ECU. 5 speed 240sx trans with a 5.5" clutch and a flex plate. 4.11 final drive with some Hoosier R7's I was having an issue pushing water out of the radiator during race like conditions. Only happened after several laps at full tilt. Not sure if I'm getting exhaust gas pushing by the head gasket or what. I did a test on the coolant to see if gas was present and it was negative but I'm not sure how accurate th

Hey guys, I'm trying decide which radiator to buy for my sr20det swap in my Z. I want to spend around 3-400 dollars. If anyone has had a good experience with a certain radiator I would appreciate the input. -
**UPDATE** I have a 280ZX I'm not using, so I pulled its coolant inlet port off and installed it on the 240Z. I've learned that the later L-series engines have a threaded inlet port. I've plugged it with a 1/2" pipe plug and installed the Lower Radiator hose. Note: If you choose to do what I did, the lower radiator inlet port from my '81 280ZX is slightly pointed more engine-side than the original 240Z port. So watch out for the lower radiator hose touching your alternator. What I did to fix this problem was to twist the lower radiator hose at the bottom of the radiator to clear the alte

I recently made some changes to my cooling system and am now having an issue or two. Before the change my temp ran right at ~180 degrees with little variation. Whether I was cruising, idling or driving "spiritedly" the temp stayed fairly constant. I was running a 16" electric fan, set up as a pusher (I know) slightly angled off the rad (3 core) because it was too big. Not a great setup, but it was working. I have since made two changes: I switched out to a more powerful 14" fan setup as a puller which has a good seal to the rad. When it runs, it's moving a ton of air, seemingly much
