b__sosick Posted August 18, 2006 Share Posted August 18, 2006 daaaaaaang. sorry man. everything has been so chaotic lately! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BleachZee Posted August 18, 2006 Share Posted August 18, 2006 Good job on that throttle linkage. You're an engineering genious! nice find on the turbo as well. Go ahead and get yourself all set up. I'll keep an eye out for a local turbo or wastegate. I finally fixed my main engine problems. Sealed up the injectors to the manifold by using proper holders.

AE2ZX Posted August 18, 2006 Author Share Posted August 18, 2006 well reclocking that wasnt as eazy as i thought it was going to be .. took forever dam thing didnt want to break free:twisted:... but its done and test mounted looks good ..still need to do some cleaning and make the water lines work ..oil lines bolt up well ..i have to run down tO PT and cut the down pipe off the saab and use it.. not to big of a deal just more work .i also will have to mod the stock zx actuator arm just a little . looks great super stoked ..but iam pretty tired and need a little break :wink:be back late:burnout: Thanks bleach ! looks like the wastgates are just a little differnt .. i will need the actuator but not the wastgate its self or my stock down pipe . so its all yours if you want it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AE2ZX Posted August 24, 2006 Author Share Posted August 24, 2006 test fitted the saab intercooler ..there is a post here about it seems its a good and highly tested mod :)thanks mobythevan your a true player:icon44: http://forums.hybridz.org/showthread.php?t=92933&highlight=saab+intercooler for install into the 280zx you will have to cut the bump jacks at the end just a little so the intercooler will sit in the right spot...also you will have to cut in the two holes on each side of the radiator.. iam going to seal up the stock intake hole with a plate and some screws ..all of this will happen when my motor is pulled some time next month .i also changed front brake pads mine got a little smokey hot this moring when i ran her hard ..i had another set so i swaped them in ...it went alot faster then i thought .. still waiting on parts ebay dissy and turbo flange gasket ..hopefully soon ..i hate waiting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BleachZee Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 looking good. Nice 'new' flywheel. I'm jealous of your intercooler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gollum Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 i might go with this intercooler idea too. I'm at the junkyard alot anyways and I'm sure I could find one. Didn't look like too much of a challange either. Probly good for the amount of power I want too. Oh yea, and it's looking great man! Keep it up.

AE2ZX Posted August 31, 2006 Author Share Posted August 31, 2006 slow its taking forever for that dissy to show up ...went and found some more mesh rims they where on this gray and black 79 zx 2+2 . there 15" with 0 off set.. i cleaned them up some and painted one of them. i need to go get some more paint . the one i did turned out looking pretty sick ..there just like the rims i have now but , these are 15" and have more dish:cool: ..i may just end up selling them for $200 bills .i havnt made up my mind ..ether way i will sell one of the sets i have for $200 bills to make some extra cash . on second thought:malebitch after test fitting the one rim i painted , i think i will be keeping the 15's and be selling the 14's .. the dish looks real nice .after i get some new tires for these there on there for sure .
