RS Speed Posted May 12, 2010 Author Share Posted May 12, 2010 They might not have it yet... it's a blue civic hatch with the motor showing through the hood on the front cover. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A kid at school that knew I had a 240z and loved old z's had the mag and brought it up to me the day he got it. He has a sub. I was like, yep, seen that car before on hybridz! haha. Way to Rep the right way to build a proper hybridz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zrookie Posted June 12, 2010 Share Posted June 12, 2010 Hey brother do you have pics of you turbo set up? I notice you mentioned it's a Precision 60-1, If I'm not mistake It looks like you have the internal waste gate still. I'm looking for the same set up.

RS Speed Posted June 13, 2010 Author Share Posted June 13, 2010 Its actually a turbonetics 60-1 but they are all about the same thing. It came with a standard 5 bolt flange for an external wastegate but I bought a 5 bolt internal wastegate assembly so I can run it internaly. There's a guy on ebay that sells the internal wastegates for dirt cheap although I cant seem to find him anymore Here a few links to the basic part though... http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Garrett-T3-Internal-Wastegate-Swing-Valve-5-3-bolt-_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQhashZitem5880aef542QQitemZ380116071746QQptZMotorsQ5fCarQ5fTruckQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Garrett-Turbo-T3-Wastegate-swingvalve-w-Steel-flange-/330437466209?cmd=ViewItem&pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item4cef9b9861 NOT sure if this one will fit but its real cheap http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/T3-T4-TURBO-5-BOLT-SWINGVALVE-WASTEGATE-EXHUAST-HOUSING-/380241901991?cmd=ViewItem&pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item58882ef9a7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S30rb25 Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 How is that spark plug cover artwork holding up to the heat? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RS Speed Posted July 14, 2010 Author Share Posted July 14, 2010 (edited) Thanks for the comments guys! I recently installed the alcohol injection and have actually been enjoying the car for the last month! Seriously feels like a monster at 18 psi How is that spark plug cover artwork holding up to the heat? Holding up just fine, hasn't fazed it at all even through a track session at button willow with 100 degree ambient temps!

S30rb25 Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 i was wondering if you would be able to give me the dimensions of the spark plug cover, since my motor hasnt been delivered yet. ive been wanting my sister whos in art school to design a cover for mine and she needs the dimensions in order to do it. if you can that would be great Thanks.
