240Z Turbo Posted August 12, 2005 Share Posted August 12, 2005 Since the motor is off being built I thought I would start with the intercooler. Same core as Joel's, 24"x12"x4.5" fed by my GT42R. Build is as follows: Endyne Head (inconel ex/SS intake)/HKS 280 10.25's/Ferrea valvetrain/Findanza Cam gears Carillo Rods Endyne Custom Pistons(weisco forgings) ATI 800hp dampner My custom pan GT42R custom 321SS/Inconel exhaust manifold Custom dual plenum intake with dual 70mm TB's 160lb Bosch injectors Tech 3 custom fuel rail N1 water pump Nismo oil pump ATI GM tranny adapter (SFI flexplate/8" race converter) JW bell with turbo 400 (full manual transbrake) Am I forgetting anything? BTW, anyone need a complete Ka24de setup? tranny, ecu, motor, yada yada yada? $500 and runs like a champ. I want to spare no expense on this project.

cheftrd Posted August 14, 2005 Share Posted August 14, 2005 James, finally getting some stuff out of the way and will be starting on the S15 swap in a month or so. Got the JW Powerglide the other day, so I'll be needing the adapter and converter pretty soon. Hopefully yours will be done first so I won't have to play converter games. I'm backing down from the first guess and thinking somewhere around 5500 stall, as it will flash considerably higher. Any thoughts on your converter?

240Z Turbo Posted August 15, 2005 Author Share Posted August 15, 2005 Matt, I almost reconsidered doing the swap when ATI wasn't sure whether they could make the 8" race converter stall low enough for a street application. I didn't want to burn up the converter by having it constantly slipping. They have assured me that we can get a 5K stall on the converter and be usable for a daily driver. My buddy has one in his RB25 powered S13 so I will get first hand knowledge of its performance. It will be quite a while before I have mine running. Perhaps as long as 1 year. Send me an e-mail for the Tranny adapter stuff. Here are a few pics of the new CASA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
