datsunan Posted April 30, 2005 Share Posted April 30, 2005 Its hard to tell what your looking at with all the glar from the crome but man It looks really nice in person. I think I must have taken a couple of pounds off this thing. It took a long time to prep for crome but I think its worth it. Notice my new throttle linkage, it is just a 1/4" stainless tube with a cable running to the tb straight onto the gas pedal. It cleans the top of the runners off completly except for the efi wires that are now also mounted in a polished stainless tube. I still need to put my plug wires in stainless but it looks good for now. Befor. after cutting off the EGR and runner one more for the road Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest 305240 Posted April 30, 2005 Share Posted April 30, 2005 Holy Chit! I've always said if you've seen one Z inline, you've seen them all. I stand corrected. That's sweet! Wanna do my 81 turbo for me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

exodus1500 Posted April 30, 2005 Share Posted April 30, 2005 HOLY CRAP! that is VERY nice... what was involved in the process? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ihatejoefitz Posted May 1, 2005 Share Posted May 1, 2005 im in the process of doing something similar to my intake, my question is, do those hole i see inside of the EGR runner go all the way through? if so, i think it might just be easier for me to make a block off plate for the EGR. im definitely not going to the extremes that you did, that thing is a work of art. my only problem with making something as nice as that is that the time and money involved could be used to make a custom manifold from scratch.

datsunan Posted May 2, 2005 Author Share Posted May 2, 2005 Yes they do go all the way through, I had made a block off for my last one it worked fine. It cost $150 to crome and the labor to prep was my time. I don't think you could build one for $150 and the time would be way more IMO.

Cody 82 ZXT Posted May 5, 2005 Share Posted May 5, 2005 That is really nice!!! Gives me inspiration to work on one in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeatRaveR Posted May 5, 2005 Share Posted May 5, 2005 I would love to clean up my intake manifold, but I just have no idea what's "expendable" or re-routable. ^^ I don't want to lose any daily drivability or get hassled for messing with my emissions stuff. So, any tips on what's easily removable/re-routable on the L28ET? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frank280zx Posted May 5, 2005 Share Posted May 5, 2005 haha prep time, cleaning... nah ill stick with black stuff instead of chrome ( powdercoated black LOL) but it looks awsome but a quick Q what dit you do when you cut it open? polish teh inside ?

BillZ260 Posted May 5, 2005 Share Posted May 5, 2005 very nice, can't think of much more to say about it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
datsunan Posted May 5, 2005 Author Share Posted May 5, 2005 but a quick Q what dit you do when you cut it open? polish teh inside ? No the section you see cut open is the runner for the EGR. I cut the rest of it off. There was so much carbon build up in there it was about 1/4 inch thick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frank280zx Posted May 5, 2005 Share Posted May 5, 2005 thanks that clears it up we dont have EGR's in europe so i wasnt to sure ( glad we dont when i hear that story) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cody 82 ZXT Posted May 5, 2005 Share Posted May 5, 2005 What are you going to do with the vent at the top of the valve cover? Also why didn't you use a turbo manifold? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
datsunan Posted May 6, 2005 Author Share Posted May 6, 2005 I have a turbo mani but it would take even more time to clean up, more holes more screws. The one I had was polished, and is now for sale if anyone wants one. Yeh I need to figure a way to get that piped back in without gumming up the works, I've got some ideas.
