CruxGNZ Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 YES! She's in! Damn sweet. Hey, those intercooler pipes look nice, awsome color! Any word on the exaust yet? I just don't have the time this week to fly down there. Side jobs are killing me every evening this week, PLUS a new girlfriend that needs attention at night, uhg... If you can get that puppy running and fly up here with open downpipe, I'll fix ya' right up. Oh, by the way, here's some freekin' awsome news! My tranny will be ready this Wednesday from Jimmy's and I have Ross's ('64 Buick with GN engine) Dad's lift to do the exaust on (hells yeah!). I may have my Z running for the next SEZS. Is that nuts or what? !M! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RB26powered74zcar Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 Lookng good bro. Watch those hose clamps blowin off though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
violacleff Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 Looks awesome. Will 440cc injectors be enough to support 20psi through that turbo though? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrett76Zt Posted August 2, 2005 Author Share Posted August 2, 2005 Thanks for all the positive comments guys . . . I was just lazy with those clamps, although there are beads welded around every connecting pipe . . . Well the drivetrain on this car is gonna be the interesting part. I did the 240sx tranny swap with an ACT 6-puck . . .bad news is I still have halfshafts and and open r200. That would be the only thing that should keep this car out of the 11's . . . the car only weighs 2525 lbs . . . time will tell . . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oleh Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 how much did the intake manifold cost you ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Z-Gad Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 awesome Garrett!! I have been out of town for the last month or so, so I haven't had a chance to return your call. I guess you made good on whatever it was you were gonna ask me about... Anyway, when you run out of injector, I have a set of 550's that I'll cut you a deal on.

Garrett76Zt Posted August 2, 2005 Author Share Posted August 2, 2005 Mike . . . I might have to take you up on that after i hit the dyno and see what i can do with these 450's So I crank it up yeterday, with just the downpipe . . .It sounds EVIL . . . I hit the throttle a few times to get my jollies and all of a sudden i get a nice fine stream of fuel spraying from the outlet of my brand new Aeromotive Fuel Filter!! Its right where the AN fitting screws into it . . . I gotta go back and figure out whats up today. . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Z-Gad Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 Did you use an o-ring between the filter and the a/n fitting? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quicker240 Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 If it makes the power you are shooting for,it should be solidly in the 11's.Looks great and good luck with it.Come spank some V8 booty at Reynolds! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

violacleff Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 You mentioned that you you're using the 240sx tranny. I'm curious to see how well it will hold up to the kind of torque you are going to be putting out. If it handles ok, I'd like to do the same swap, but my guess is there's no way its going to hold up to 450+lbs of torque. I just decided for myself that i'd drive like a granny ti'll I can afford to do a tremec setup like Jeff P's. These zx trannies are getting too old, and I suck at swapping them anyway. Glad to see you're trying before me though. Please keep us posted on the results. I'm sure you will. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cody 82 ZXT Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 Well, it certainly looks like it runs 11's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
