technicalninja Posted March 18, 2006 Share Posted March 18, 2006 Very nice. Sanitary. Did you fabricate the exhaust? If you did you need to show it off. More pics are called for... I take it this is an "emissions legal" swap? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnc Posted March 18, 2006 Author Share Posted March 18, 2006 Its a track car and won't be run on the street. The downpipe connects to the stock cat and exhaust for now but something different will be built later. I built the engine mounts, header, downpipe, wastegate plumbing, intercooler tanks, intercooler plumbing, throttle linkage, turbo oiling, fuel system plumbing, and a some other stuff. The car just went to the engine builder who's going to take it all a part and build the engine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oatmilk Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 Looks great John. Is that a carb style TB ans XS power turbo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnc Posted March 19, 2006 Author Share Posted March 19, 2006 Yes, the TB is a ProJay along with the intake manifold and plenum. I started to build a custom intake but the price would have been stupid because of the positioning of each fuel injector. I would have to make or purchase individual fuel rail/injector mounts and then plumb them from a fuel block. Going with the ProJay parts saved the customer $1,000.

auxilary Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 John, what will it take for me to get my Z to your shop so you can finish it up? lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnc Posted March 20, 2006 Author Share Posted March 20, 2006 Time, money, and a car trailer. Right now I'm booked through June. I'm just starting (today) on a SCCA Solo2 SM2 class 240Z. Have to strip the chassis and send it out to media blast by the end of the week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnc Posted March 20, 2006 Author Share Posted March 20, 2006 would that be Art Rinner's car by any chance? Yes it is, but not the orange one. He had a '73 shell that we're using and he plans on swapping the engine/trans out of the orange car when I get the chassis done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
