Challenger Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 ZYA got his dual TB intake set up, Derek got his custom intake finished and running. And a recent thread actually presented the answer to life. http://forums.hybridz.org/showthread.php?t=147114&highlight=answer+life It definitely changed my life. Cant really think of anything else sadly, I think my brain is fried from school.. Welcome back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZR8ED Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 Well for starters: The L6 vs v8 debate was finally solved. They won. There is a way to get 500hp for under 3K$ To improve the power vs weight advantage, we all aggreed that a 240 now weighs 1800lbs with driveline and driver. There is a "BEST" Suspension setup and brake setup now. Beware the cigarette lighter of doom thread. Newbies with less than 5 posts DO know more than the rest of us. And to top it off, "the answer to the meaning of life, the universe and everything is... 42" Oh and on a side note, I have been voted as god and king of hybridz, and all my mighty slaves must submit their car for me to drive...When do I get to drive yours?

Administrators BRAAP Posted April 22, 2009 Administrators Share Posted April 22, 2009 Howdy Sparks... I think Scott summed it up pretty well. There is probably a few more highlights and some low-lights as well he or others could fill you in on... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlatBlack Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 (edited) A certain Admin got a bunch of hopes up about putting an LSx in a Z32 without modifying the firewall [the goal was a fast DD], but then got distracted and moved on. This thread was amusing to me... http://forums.hybridz.org/showthread.php?p=933740#post933740 Hmm, an L28ET... I'm a little opposed to it since it's like a 30 year old engine. In my mind a newer engine gives better performance, since I believe fuel injection is better than an engine that uses carburetors. To be honest, I have little knowledge of older engines but I know that older engines tend to have less volumetric efficiency due to their design. Unless someone proves me wrong or can persuade me that an L28ET could perform just as well as an SR20DET or RB25DET, it's probably not going to be on my wanted list. Is an L28ET all cast iron, or is it all aluminum? If it's the latter, can I change, say the engine block or something to an aluminum one?
