notheredave Posted September 27, 2011 Author Share Posted September 27, 2011 (edited) Here is another option that I found on a Nissan Pathfinder and then found these pictures... I have been playing around with some online calculators and I have three types of rims/tires and three VLSD's. Stock 4.6L Ford DOHC motor in my 240z: 11.78 sec. 1/4 mile Top Speed 156 mph @ 290 hp (old 151 hp 2400 lbs. @ 125 mph) 1/4 mile based power to wt.: http://robrobinette.com/et.htm 11.78 sec. 1/4 mile (2400 lbs. and 290 hp) 10.58 sec. 1/4 mile (2400 lbs. and 400 hp) 09.00 sec. 1/4 mile (2400 lbs. and 650 hp) Needed HP for Top Speed: http://robrobinette.com/top_speed.htm 156 mph @ 290 hp 180 mph @ 400 hp 203 mph @ 650 hp top speed based on gears: (if you have the hp) http://www.catherine.../sti/tyres.html Gear RatiosTR-3650 used in the 2001-2004 Ford Mustang GT 1st: 3.380:1 2nd: 2.000:1 3rd: 1.320:1 4th: 1.000:1 5th: 0.670:1 VLSD's 190 mph 4.09:1 191 mph 3.90:1 201 mph 3.70:1 The diagrams of wheels below have figures at the bottom to compare to a set of Swastika's Edited September 27, 2011 by notheredave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notheredave Posted September 27, 2011 Author Share Posted September 27, 2011 Here are some pictures of the Trans mount (will work for T5, T45 and TR4650) I cut the flat sections, the center bridge and the water/oil adapter. I had the trans mount welded today...I also had the 3" flat iron cut for the motor mounts, trans mount bolt bracket pieces cut and I will be welding tomorrow. See pictures. PS the trans mount is upside down compared to the Ford Mustang setup. It'll support dual exhaust! I tried my hand at welding the motor and trans mounts...Horrible so I will be paying for a local mobile welder to come out and weld everything up at once. I am waiting on funds to finish the suspension ( powder coating ) and am currently putting in the Lincoln MK VIII heating and A/C system and the 300zx z32 ABS system...If I use the 15" Swastikas...I will have to use Q45 (in place of the z32 calipers) calipers for now. The rears are late Z31 turbo rear ventilated setup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yellowoctupus Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 I tried my hand at welding the motor and trans mounts...Horrible so I will be paying for a local mobile welder to come out and weld everything up at once. It will be WAY cheaper if you're having a professional welder do the work to tack the mounts yourself, and bring it all in to their shop to weld everything up at once. Also, you'll have to pull the mounts out if you have them bolted in the chassis or something, so they can weld all the 'hard to get to' installed sides of the mounts.

notheredave Posted September 30, 2011 Author Share Posted September 30, 2011 (edited) I agree...that was the plan BUT I tried multiple times and when I removed the "tacked" mounts they came apart. Thanks though! Edited September 30, 2011 by notheredave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4.6StangRage Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 I am in envy! this project is amazing! looks cramped but i bet it is or will be totally worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notheredave Posted October 23, 2011 Author Share Posted October 23, 2011 I am in envy! this project is amazing! looks cramped but i bet it is or will be totally worth it. Yes it looks cramped BUT remarkably everything has been designed to be accessible...ie waterneck to block I had to cut out ~2" out so that I would clear the frame, I used F150 solid rubber mounts (that had mount recievers bolted to the frame in place of the liquid filled round mounts. I used the battery tray area to tap into the passenger side vent for a fresh air solution...I also used a Expedition oil filter relocation setup (which I will tap into for an oil cooler. I am currently going down a rabbit hole and installing ABS and 98 Lincoln MK8 Air Conditioning with digital control. Lots of fun. Thanks for the reply PS I tried installing a 5.4L with twin turbos but the long block alone wouldn't clear the hood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4.6StangRage Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 Nice, a well planned venture! I hope one of these days I will too be able to embrace creativity. I personally have always dreamed of having a 4.6 in a Z! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally have always dreamed of having a 4.6 in a Z! After a few years of buying all kinds of engines (L28 turbo w/ jim wolf ecm, Nissan VK56DE, mercedes brabus inline 6 3.4L, AJ34S Jaguar XJS 400hp, Ford GT500 5.4L etc) and finally I got a wild hair to get something installed...The rest is history.

So why the 4.6, did you find more performance parts for it? or is it more bang for the buck? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notheredave Posted October 29, 2011 Author Share Posted October 29, 2011 (edited) So why the 4.6, did you find more performance parts for it? or is it more bang for the buck? I have (6) of the 4.6L's and (4) 5.4L's and the 5.4L doesn't fit and the 4.6L fits and I had a Tremec 5 speed. All the other motors only come in Automatics...I got the automatic bellhousing for the motors that I will be adapting to a manual setup. PS I have (2) 0 mileage hyundai genesis coupe 2012 V8's and (3) 0 mileage hyundai genesis coupe 2012 V6's. 3.8L Lambda V6 engine producing 306 hp (228 kW; 310 PS) and 266 ft·lbf (361 N·m) torque. 4.6L Tau V8 producing 385 horsepower (287 kW) at 6,500 rpm and an identical 333 lb-ft of torque at 3,500 rpm More fun for the future Edited October 29, 2011 by notheredave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boatdude13 Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 I hate to be that guy, but you should know that Nissan under-rated the Q45 hp at the flywheel. It makes closer to 310hp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here are the specs: Brembo 4 piston fronts and 2 piston rears 355mm (13.98") Diameter 32mm (1.26") thick Fronts 336mm (13.23") Diameter 22mm (0.87") thick Rears PS the rim is an 18" and sent in all my suspension for powder coating (I'll post pictures soon).

notheredave Posted December 7, 2011 Author Share Posted December 7, 2011 I just picked up a couple of options for ITB's, 4 ddl., distibutor, and stand alone ign. Here are some pictures Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yellowoctupus Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 Neat pile of stuff. I've never seen a Mag for these newer motors. Is it still points, or breakerless? That is the one thing that does continue to work even with PATS, is spark, so you could still run the stock ignition if you wanted, with the coilpacks pretty easily. I am likin' the look of those individual throttle bodies though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LMoore56 Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 That neat pile of parts is pure eye candy, it is what some of just dream of getting our hands on. I'm just going with a 387W, stock 4 inch bore with the 3.85 scat crank. Along with long tube fox body headers. My torque boxes, and floor fell apart while I was waiting to get started, so I just cut them out along with the frame rails, and built a new frame with 1 1/2 x 3 tubing. Thats how I was able to use long tube headers. I can't wait to see yours going and watching a You Tube video of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am likin' the look of those individual throttle bodies though. The distributor is H.E.I. (Hi Energy Ignition) brakerless. Which I have the whole setup so I could fire up the engine while I'm figuring out the electronic ECM. Here are some links of setups that are way easier. The guy that sold me the stand alone and distributor setup went to.

I wanted something exotic...Like the 60's Ford OHC 600hp big block that I read about when I was a teen. And I wish I could do headers also...Maybe in the future.

Hear are some pictures of the brakes. I found a company in Los Angeles that will drill the blanks for our wheel lugs.
