J Taylor Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 Finished installing the nitrous kit tonight and went to test it out. First time I stepped into it I got a nice backfire and the rpm's shot straight up. When I pulled over this is what I found. Going to make an attempt to get it fixed tomorrow afternoon but I really don't see it happening. So once again, I will be at SEZ with no Z.

AK-Z Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 Ouchy. is it just the TB and the intake that was damaged? At least we know the intake can't take that much preasure lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J Taylor Posted March 24, 2006 Author Share Posted March 24, 2006 Pretty sure the motor isnt damaged....assuming no metal pices got into it when everything came apart. JT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RB26powered74zcar Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 Well that sucks... I have a extra 80mm TB if you need it. I can't help you on the plenum though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EMWHYR0HEN Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 Outch. What a POS nissan casting. Who would have ever thought of the need of a forged T/B. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

240hoke Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 DUDE!!!! you gotta get it back together, Surely somebody could get you a TB. Manifold looks easily fixable, would love see your car at SEZ!! Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lunar240z Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 i've got a q45 tb. $100 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J Taylor Posted March 24, 2006 Author Share Posted March 24, 2006 Got it repaired today and found another 70mm throttle body locally so hopefully I will be bringing the z afterall. JT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cody 82 ZXT Posted March 25, 2006 Share Posted March 25, 2006 That must have been some pressure inside the intake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

veritech-z Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 Talk about catastrophic engine failure! In the words of Joe Dirt: "Dang!" Glad you got it back together though! Wish I could go to SEZ, sounds like the place to be, but my my Z related trips to georgia are on hold for a good long while after this last one...

johnc Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 You guy should build a blow out plug in your intake. A mounting boss for a freeze plug would probably work great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
