Guest bastaad525 Posted November 8, 2002 Share Posted November 8, 2002 Wasn't sure where to put this where you might see it. This is Bryan if you remember, you helped with my SU carbs a month back. Anyways was just wondering how your V8 Z is coming along, if you got it running yet or whatnot... I didn't get to make it to your barbecue anyways I dunno if you saw my other post I took the Z to the dyno and got almost exactly 160rwhp and 160 ftlbs so... not too shabby, an improvement over the last time I went... but man I wish I could do like you're doing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim240z Posted November 9, 2002 Share Posted November 9, 2002 Bryan, Sorry you missed the BBQ, we had a great time talking smack. I've fired and run the engine. I am busy pulling everything back out (again) to do bodywork. Did you ever solve the dieseling issue with your car? That's some pretty nice HP numbers!!!

Guest bastaad525 Posted November 9, 2002 Share Posted November 9, 2002 Nope it's still dieseling like crazy... I'm really starting to think maybe there's some little bit of the head gasket or something inside the head, something that can get red hot and keeps the motor going. I'm gonna try some higher octane in the ~100 range to see if that helps. I've really tried everything that I can think of or check or that's been suggested and nothing seems to fix it.
