veritech-z Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 Don't forget that with my classy P79 head conversion I'm actually running a full point lower compression than the old N42, so my boost should be fine. Also I've got my completely untuned Megasquirt that's running so rich that I probably won't even have to adjust anything after I put it on! Also, the bad ring I've got on cylinder number 2 should help keep my pressure down, at least on that one anyway... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OlderThanMe Posted May 22, 2007 Author Share Posted May 22, 2007 LOL... So we race until one of us busts a motor? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veritech-z Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 Might as well...I've got nothing better to do, do you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OlderThanMe Posted May 22, 2007 Author Share Posted May 22, 2007 nope! My motor has deemed fairly bombproof in the past... (i.e. blowing past 8500 RPMS when my tranny went out and it still ran fine and didn't nick any pistons or blow a headgasket!) I need to see how it holds up now with a couple nicked pistons. (Kids, put your motor back together properly when you aren't falling asleep standing there and take your time!) Oh well... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veritech-z Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 Maybe we'll have to have a "Most Spectacular Engine Failure" award to go along with the "Total Z-car Domination" award then... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OlderThanMe Posted May 22, 2007 Author Share Posted May 22, 2007 Well I know I won't starve it for oil... *turbo oil pump* The rod bearings are brand new The gaskets are all new The valvetrain is cobbled from my Z's head and valvesprings (a low 90k miles) and 200k mile Maxima cam and valves... Another odd parts combo on my engine... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veritech-z Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 This is going to be so awesome...now if only I'll be able to find a strut mount at the junkyard! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OlderThanMe Posted May 22, 2007 Author Share Posted May 22, 2007 I think Ron should build a car with our kind of budget... and our parts resources (limited)... LOL! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veritech-z Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 Don't be jealous Ron...you know, once this turbo stuff goes on, The world's rustiest header will finally be yours for the taking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chemicalblue Posted July 7, 2007 Share Posted July 7, 2007 In the yr. 2010 We might be out of gas. Think ELECTRIC. As far as picking sides OTM needs more flare, the Tron thing was great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OlderThanMe Posted July 7, 2007 Author Share Posted July 7, 2007 A holset H1C core will be here this week that I paid very little for. (probably going to rebuild and sell it if it can be used...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
240hoke Posted July 7, 2007 Share Posted July 7, 2007 Can I join the contest? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OlderThanMe Posted July 7, 2007 Author Share Posted July 7, 2007 You can join my team Austin. Let's make this a tag-team event... Bshiltz, me, and Austin are the blue team. Max, and b_sosick? find a third member... All cars over 500hp should be detuned to 500hp for the event. We may need to move the event back to 2011 though.

veritech-z Posted July 7, 2007 Share Posted July 7, 2007 You guys haven’t seen any of Ron’s personal cars have you… (his E-30 M-3 doesn’t count). Were those the ones up on tree stumps in the new intro page photo thread? I'd be happy to take Ron, in fact, I'll even sweeten the pot by offering him the World's Rustiest Header if he joins my team. That things got to be good for like, 1, maybe 2 horsepower...Your team of primadonnas is SO boned! (Hmmm....maybe Primadonna Z would be on my team, he Does live right across the bridge) I mean seriously, against the Zzzap!, the Magnum ZI, and whatever car up on stumps Ron brings to the party, how could you guys even compete?

bschiltz Posted July 7, 2007 Share Posted July 7, 2007 I've driven my car a full 23.8 miles now! I finally figured out why it was getting so hot, so that's taken care of. Now I need to find out why it's shifting so hard. 2010, here I come! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
