MAG58 takes an otherwise good Z car and ruins it...


Recommended Posts

I guess I'll finally say something 'bout my project.

 

I'm going to finally heave the L-gata out of my 71 240Z and try and cram in my M104 with a little assistance from Mr. Snail.

 

The nice ol' gal...

Here's what is going in it. 3.0L, ditching the CIS, since it sucks, and going with Megasquirt.

So far I've got the thing ripped apart

Something like this...

Mercedes made a fully forged bottom end because they love me...

Including forged rods and Mahle Silicon coated pistons.

So now that it's all apart, I'll finally pull the L28 and mock up with my spare block, head, and oil pan to see what all exciting things I get to do next.

 

After that's all done to make sure she'll fit, I need to make an adapter plate to use a BMW/Getrag 260/265 transmission (cheap and strong) and find an HX40 and make an exhaust mani once I figure out room concerns.

 

Stock motor is 230bhp from the factory on crap CIS. Goal for this project is 400hp/400tq at the wheels which from what I can figure, should happen at about 12psi roughly on a good tune.
