Guest Anonymous Posted January 19, 2002 Share Posted January 19, 2002 Z-gad ...gorgeous. Love the insul-look to the fuel rail. Kinda makes me want to black powdercoat my 280 intake manifold like yours....

Tony240ZT Posted January 20, 2002 Share Posted January 20, 2002 Gotta love that Mercedes throttle body. Sure is a lot of room in that area without the distro. Just got my L24ET running today, have to mess with the mixture a little. Hope to install an IC on mine soon, not sure if my electric fan gives me the room. Looken good can't wait to see some figures.

Z-Gad Posted January 21, 2002 Author Share Posted January 21, 2002 Looks great Tony!! The engine bay mine went into isn't nearly as nice as yours!! Looks Great!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony240ZT Posted January 21, 2002 Share Posted January 21, 2002 Thanks, glad you like orange Can't say it's my favorite color, but this car doesn't get keyed like the `72 does. These are some parts I had left over from thinking about doing a stroked turbo setup in my `72. I ended up buying a Toyota 7m-gte for the `72 for the DOHC and it's already 3.0L. I figured if the `73 car will keep up with, or be faster than my `87 Supra Turbo I'll sell off the Supra and make this car my daily driver. Supra parts are a bit more expencive, along with insurance, registration, and I have to smog the car every 2 years. What engine management system are running? Have you ran the engine with the engine management system yet? What kind of performance are you looking to get out of your car? I see the hole for the BOV what type are you going to be installing? I'm probably going to put on one of those Bosche ones on. What size of injectors are you running? I'd love to see more info about your car up on your web page. My 7m-gte will be managed by Wolf3D v4.0, as soon as I can get my hands on a unit. I have a 5 speed tranny, with a TRD clutch, an Accel fuel pump, and 550cc/min injectors will feed the hungry engine. Hope to install ARP head studs/metal head gasket, and upgrade the stock turbo before the end of this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Z-Gad Posted January 21, 2002 Author Share Posted January 21, 2002 Whew Tony, sounds like you've got your ducks in a row alright!! My set-up is as follows... 3.1 liter L28 w/ cast pistons 8.5:1 compression ... (no detonation, no problems) 440cc R/C injectors Mercedes 67.5 mm throttlebody, ported and powdercoated 75 intake Ported and polished P90A head, swirl polished valves, performance valve springs, new hydraulic rockers, and stock turbo cam T3/T4 hybrid turbo Turbo X/S BOV Scottie's SS downpipe w/ 2.5" mandrel bent exhaust Bosch 95psi pump NPR intercooler w/ 2.5" tubing SDS engine management 83 stock turbo clutch 77 5-speed 3:54 rear I have driven the car back and forth from the welding shop, but haven't begun to tune the SDS yet. I haven't run it with any boost yet either. I just placed an extra air filter on the t/b to get it there and back. Initially I plan on keeping it under the 300 hp range (I'm a bit paranoid about throwing a bunch of boost at a new engine.) After a good break-in, I hope to eclipse the 350 hp mark. I like the idea of a Supra powered Z. My set-up is currently in a 77Z. It isn't much to look at, but the frame was solid, so it makes a good guinea pig for me. Living in Fla, we haven't any smog test, state inspections, etc...which can be both good and bad... anyway, I also have a 71 body which I have replaced practically the whole uni-body. When I finish with the body work, it may see this drivetrain...or maybe a Supra 2JZ...??? mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Posted January 21, 2002 Share Posted January 21, 2002 Mike, That's awesome, I didn't realize you were that far along. Bring that sucker out to the track on the 30th, even if it's just to show it off. See you there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Z-Gad Posted January 22, 2002 Author Share Posted January 22, 2002 I'll be there Jeff. Hopefully It'll be ready to make the trip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony240ZT Posted January 22, 2002 Share Posted January 22, 2002 Very nice setup. I'd love to get my hands on a NPR IC for a good price. Sounds like you'll have no problems hitting that 300hp mark, and no reason why you can't hit 350hp. I feel outa place here, seems like all of the action is going on in florida, what's up with that? I would have loved to have dropped a 2jz-gte in. I actually came VERY close, if it weren't for the fact that check cards don't allow you to take out more than $1,000 a day then I'd have one in my garage. I got a call the next day after ordering, and I just thought to myself $2,900 for the engine, not including the tranny, elctronics, IC. Just couldn't justify it in my mind, so I didn't call back. I ordered the 7m-gte the next day locally, for less than $900 dropped into my garage, $200 for a tranny, and now I have a LOT of money for mods. Keep us updated on the progress of your engine setup. I get the feeling that it has a lot more potential than you know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottie-GNZ Posted January 22, 2002 Share Posted January 22, 2002 Tony, not sure what you consider a good price for an NPR, but see my post in the Buy/Sell section. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
