FEnatic Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 I need to know what years the non-egr N42 came on? I found a 75 in the junkyard, but it was an egr manifold. If anyone has one for sale, I'm looking. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hybrid240z Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 I found the same thing in the junk yard a couple of weeks ago. It was still there on Saturday...I wonder why. lol The part number is also N42. I would think that it would have had a different part number.

Administrators BRAAP Posted January 16, 2006 Administrators Share Posted January 16, 2006 The intakes you seek that are cast with NO EGR, came on the ’75 and ’76, 48 state, or otherwise known as the “federal†cars. ALL California 280Z cars received the EGR manifold, including the N-42 of the ’75 and ’76. So if you are looking in California wrecking yards, the chances of finding one of these early intakes with-OUT the EGR is going to be pretty much nil unless the car was imported from out of sate, or someone transplanted the intake on that car. Hope that helps… This is just one of many N-42 intakes that I’ve cleanup to varying degrees of “uncluttered†over the years. This particular one is currently undergoing even further modification to accept modern O-ring injectors and removal of the throttle linkage towers in preparation for cable activation.

Mack Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 yeah, it was a 48 state only car. calif got all the pollution junk very early on. interestingly enough, I have one for sale. in great shape. bare bones intake. I also have a 60MM 240SX TB. PM me with an offer, and I know what they go for so please, dont low ball me. Im reasonable, but Im not crazy or stupid.

proxlamus© Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 BRAAP the stock N42 manifold will accept O-ring injectors.. you just need the fuel rail my man.. Im running Toyota Supra 440cc injectors Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators BRAAP Posted January 16, 2006 Administrators Share Posted January 16, 2006 BRAAP the stock N42 manifold will accept O-ring injectors.. you just need the fuel rail my man.. Im running Toyota Supra 440cc injectors Thanks for the tip. Just received 8 feet of extruded fuel rail for the SOLO-II car and the V-8 car. Those are some pretty BIG injectors. Coolio… I’m starting out with 19 lb/hr' date=' most likely going up to 21, maybe 24 lb/hr for this N/A SOLO-II L-28 project This particular manifold is for my personal “Fâ€-Prepared SOLO-II 240 Z, L-28 w/flat tops, MN-47 head, very mild cam, etc. It is currently getting distributor-LESS ign and speed density stand alone EFI, (MSnS-E with EDIS-6. We now have an EDIS test bench up and running playing with different EDIS stuff. Got some GREAT pics of my EDIS-6 and EDIS-8 sparking the cheapo AC plugs, http://forums.hybridz.org/showthread.php?t=103781 ). As for the mod on this N-42 intake, I plan to remove the injector “mounts†themselves to give it a little cleaner overall appearance. Being as this is going on my race car, I’m not going “all out†on it, only partially out. Ron Tyler received my most ALL out intake thus far, turned out really nice, IMnSHO, LOL Though, an IR set up just might be in the immediate future for this race car, I’ll know more hopefully in the next few days. If this pans out, this N-42 intake just might come up for sale… This picture is of my EDIS-8 distributor-LESS ign for my SBC V-8 Z project running on the test bench. For visual affect, we removed the ground electrodes on the cheapo AC spark plugs…. We are glad we did… [img']http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b81/BRAAPZ/EDIS/SparkyMedium.jpg[/img] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AK-Z Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 I have one up here in alaska, non egr, but I'm planing on using it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2802NR Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 I'll have a non-egr for sale in about a month or two if you can hold out that long. Its been shaved and powder-coated white. let me know if your interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hybrid240z Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 That is what I was thinking when I was at the junkyard, that CA got EGR crap put on the intake manifolds but I would think that they would have a different part number. I purchased an N42 a week or so ago, from someone out of state, I should be receiving it this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PUSHER Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 you just need the fuel rail my man.. What fuel rail do you need/use? one for a supra or an aftermarket of some form? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony D Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 Just to remind all, many of the 79 and 80 ZX's had a Non-EGR manifold as well, without the BCDD underneath it. P82. Smaller plenum than the N42, but "product improvement" would seem to indicate this was the way Nissan went for a reason... No EGR is No EGR, and the ZX manifolds seem more plentiful than the N42's. Check out my cardomain page for a photo of the P82 manifold in use on a 260ZT Megasquirt Conversion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators BRAAP Posted January 18, 2006 Administrators Share Posted January 18, 2006 As for plenum design, a larger plenum is actually “more†desirable from a performance standpoint, not a smaller plenum. To be perfectly honest, in Tony D’s defense, on the dyno for an engine built to mild or even semi wild pump gas specs, it wouldn’t make much difference in the power developed when comparing the necked down plenum intakes vs the larger plenum. They both will deliver pretty much equivalent power, and if there is a difference as measured on the dyno, not even the most discerning driver would be able to feel the difference. By looking at the evolution of the intake plenum for MPFI engines, the trend in automotive intake building has been larger plenums rather than smaller i.e. look at the modern Nissans, SR-20, KA24, VQ35, VG30DE, or even the domestic offerings vs the EFI Datsun L-18 in Japan plenum, and even our L-28’s and L-24E in the early Maxima. The total plenum volume of modern MPFI engines has actually increased on intake manifolds compared to those of the late ‘70’s through the late ’80’s. Specific output and mileage is also WAY up and emission are also lower on today’s power plants vs those of the ‘70’s and ‘80’s, (though intake plenum size isn’t what is responsible for that increase in performance, it is a very small part of the total equation). For those of you who are very much interested in intake design and building and engine management tuning, there is a GREAT book written by Jeff Hartman that you should look into. Great for the novice who is just getting his feet wet in automotive tuning and performance upgrades, to the gray haired gurus who are very well versed in the ways of extracting MAX potential from an engine. Jeff Hartmann takes you through the “whys†the mega tuners make the choices they make for a particular set up and how you can apply those same decision making process to your own application. Some very enlightening info within… Here is the book. It can also be found at your local “Barnes & Nobleâ€, “Borders Books†etc. http://www.themotorbookstore.com/engine1.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators BRAAP Posted January 18, 2006 Administrators Share Posted January 18, 2006 What fuel rail do you need/use? one for a supra or an aftermarket of some form? I purchased 8 feet of extruded aluminum fuel rail that I will machine myself to accept the Corvette injectors for my L-28. Here is where I bought my fuel rail. http://www.rossmachineracing.com/extrusion.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
