Good job on that throttle linkage. You're an engineering genious! :D

 

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.

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 :icon44:..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 :icon43:..but iam pretty tired and need a little break :wink:be back late:burnout:

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 :burnout:

i took the stock saab down pipe end flanged it out and found a 2.5" bent pipe

that was perfict .gray welded them up ..i test fitted it and turned out real good .its about 1/3 of the weight of the stock down pipe :twisted: .

flywheel looks like new! wish i had a befor pic of it ..

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.

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 :icon6:.after i get some new tires for these

there on there for sure .
