Guest Anonymous Posted November 16, 2002 Share Posted November 16, 2002 what up everyone! i'm new here. got this site from someone on another site that i frequent. well a little about myself.... i used to own an all-motor '92 240sx. i sold it in Feb of this year because it had a salvaged title, and i didn't want to get screwed by the insurance company if i got into an accident, plus insurance was up the wazoo to insure a salvaged car, and hardly any companies would do so. anyways, i built the original KA24DE as an all-motor engine. it had a 12.6:1, performance racing pistons, rods, blah. there was A LOT done to it. hehe. i never dynoed it or took it to the strip, and i was only able to guesstimate what kinds of numbers i was putting out by comparing my car to others that have dynoed or taken their car to the strip. by that, i was able to guess that my car was putting down around ~210RWHP, and probably running a fairly solid mid 13 1/4. i compared my car to a an S14 w/S14 blacktop SR with bolt-ons who was running about a 13.7, as well as lightly modded turbo DSMs, an ITR that was putting out a good 200FWHP running a best of 13.8. and many other cars of the like. right now. i don't have a car. but i'm VERY close to picking up a '74 260Z (yeah, i know. just barely missed the non-emissions year. ) but as i looked through the site and JTR's site, i got more and more excited about getting the Z and wanting to throw in a Chevy 350, or something of the like. i'd much prefer dropping in an EFI V8 rather than a carb because i don't know much about them. but i'd like to drop an LT1 into it. anyways. i've got questions, hopefully you all have got answers. this site looks pretty cool and knowledgeable. let me add, the cars in the "Featured Rides" and Member Rides" sections were AWESOME! i'm hoping if i get this Z, mine will be just as nice. sorry so long. edwin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DavyZ Posted November 17, 2002 Share Posted November 17, 2002 Picking up JTR's books can really help with the swap. BTW, their TPI/TBI book is pretty good reading too. Good luck with the swap! Davy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
