TheNeedForZ Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 From the list of parts, looks like it's not getting a lot of quench? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Workinprogress Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 I see there is a heat shield of some kind under the carbs, can you give me some info on how you made that. I'm building an L28 w/triple webers, I know the header will pour heat into them and am trying to figure a way around that, I was thinking a heat blanket or sleeves, but prefer a metal shield to try to separate the hot air from the intake charge. Thanks, Grant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SR240Z Posted May 22, 2006 Author Share Posted May 22, 2006 i will take better shots of the shield tomorrow and post them up, or ill send you a PM with the pictures Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheNeedForZ Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 Quench... If the piston(assum it is not dished) is very close(1mm) to the flat pad in the combustion chamber at TDC, the air/fuel mix is squished into the flame to produce a faster burn. It helps increase hp and reduce detonation. But on a L series head, the quench pad is not that big so not as effective as in a SBC that has a bigger quench pad.

EZ-E Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 Ive said it before and will say it again, there is nothing like the sound of six throttles opening up on a Z, to me that is the greates sound ever. I love the induction sound of triples, sounds and looks great!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

240Z_Master Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 nah dont think so, the car runs great and gets pretty good mileage just cruising on fwy Doesn't sound as peppy as it should with your hand on the throttle like that.... just saying, they sounded like my out of sync tripples.

SR240Z Posted May 30, 2006 Author Share Posted May 30, 2006 it might sound like em, but it definitely does not run like your car did when it was out of sync Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
240Z_Master Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 it might sound like em, but it definitely does not run like your car did when it was out of sync That's because my timing was off by what, 15 degrees and I couldn't figure out why... uh yeaah.

olie05 Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 I like the radiator mount. with proper ducting (and maybe an opening in the hood) it could provide some downforce at speed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
