AZGhost623 Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 http://www.speedhunters.com/2013/06/70s-spirit-the-imsa-240z/ "With its competition-spec rebuild. word has it the fully-built L-motor is now outputting an extremely impressive 400 horsepower." I've seen stroker setups that can get to 350hp, but 400hp? Im guessing thats crank and not at the wheels? Anyone know more about this car/setup and how they get to 400hp on solex carbs? Thats very impressive.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

duragg Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 Theres a lot of curious things about the motor and its placement in that car. Maybe perspective. Looks low, tall and aft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I noticed that too, but wasnt sure if the position of it that far back was because of the GNOSE kit or something else going on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
280zex Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 I want that dash.... and the coolant system looks different too, on the passenger side of the engine compartment. I'm not shure what I'm seeing there, towards the front, some type of over flow/surge tank??? I would love to see underneath, at the suspention and brakes..............

BluDestiny Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 There is a very extensive thread started by josh280z about the japanese making 400hp NA drag motors. It may shed some insight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony D Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 I took photos underneath in 95 after it's original restoration was completed. Lots of things were going on on the 25th anniversary of the Z emerging...even if one wasn't available for sale in the USA... Hell, Dick Clark was even involved!

I actually have seen this post I think last year when I was working on my cars setup. http://forums.hybridz.org/topic/90037-japanese-na-l6-400hp-how-they-do-it-pictures-ive-found-etc-not-56k-safe/ Edited June 29, 2013 by AZGhost623 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
