ZT-R Posted August 31, 2012 Author Share Posted August 31, 2012 ^^^ I agree 100% and was wondering the same, if it will clear the hoods constraints. I gave him measurements of what hits and what doesnt, so hopefully it willnt but it sure looks like there is no way thats going to fit. Time will tell..

ZT-R Posted August 31, 2012 Author Share Posted August 31, 2012 Pics are sort of deceiving. With the engine at its 10 degree slant the compressor sits 1 inch above the intake valve cover, should be ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EZpickenZ Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 Where did you get the bent stainless tubing? I cant find anyone to bend any. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZT-R Posted September 1, 2012 Author Share Posted September 1, 2012 Bend it all the time. Do you have any local hose making shops? some carquests make hoses, but I dont think they have stuff to bend the pipe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should just about clear the hood great thing about having a vented hood is I can remove the vents and can see into the engine bay I had to move my rad down or it would have dented !!!! Do you want me to have a measure and take some pictures of under the bonnet when its closed ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZT-R Posted September 2, 2012 Author Share Posted September 2, 2012 I should be ok. I took measurements of my rb26 and we compensated for the rb30 deck height. Thanks though. Well I got bored today so i make an on engine tank for my GT cooling mod, instead of being firewall mounted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tube and Hoses here in Beaufort, but you can bend it yourself too unless you need like a 90. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZT-R Posted September 3, 2012 Author Share Posted September 3, 2012 I really like your coolant mod. ever consider mass producing them? Well the only problem is that, at least this particular one, would be that it is engine specific as far as where the bungs where welded on your intake. I used (3) 45 degree bends off mine (8an) so there is no give or anything whatsoever being that they are bends and not flex hose or anything. If your bungs where 1/16 or less or so in a different spot it wouldnt line up. It really wasnt hard to make. All i did was got the 45 degree fittings and three bungs, screwed the bungs into the fittings and onto the manifold. put a plate across them to ensure best level/angle whatever, then put a 2" pipe and positioned it so i could get to the fittings to tighten them and still get my valve cover bolts off without taking this off. Then tacked the bungs in place and carefully took the fittings off, welded them in place, then drilled out the center of the bung with a drill bit. Then took 2.25" pipe and cut it out to fit around the 2" pipe so i could weld the radiator cap on. then welded the small bung on the bottom of the pipe in the front. Granted I think I overkilled it with the sizes when i made this thing in the first place. probably would be fine with 6an or even 4an bungs and a 8 or 10 return. I used 8an and 12an return.. But no overheating issues and im still running the stock thermostat... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RB26powered74zcar Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 Awesome build! Did Robbie build that exh manifold too? Might have to give him a ring... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alonso* Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 Nice build! Don't be scared to run a bit more amperage on your aluminum welds, they look a bit cold. None the less, great job! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZT-R Posted September 5, 2012 Author Share Posted September 5, 2012 Awesome build! Did Robbie build that exh manifold too? Might have to give him a ring... Yes he did Joel. Gotta love that exchange rate, when its in our favor. Nice build! Don't be scared to run a bit more amperage on your aluminum welds, they look a bit cold. None the less, great job! Yea but you know what they say about fitment, the better fitment you have the better the weld looks. That and a pot of coffee and no breakfast is like tig welding with Parkinton's Disease. Im thinking about trading in my miller syngro 200 for a dynasty or something with some frequency control. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raven12 Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 Great progress! Do you have an ETA when you are receiving/installing the engine? Can't wait to see final fitment pics. Looks like we have another option for a twin scroll manifold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZT-R Posted September 6, 2012 Author Share Posted September 6, 2012 About 6 six weeks probably. Having issues trying to get some custom pistons. Robbie usually use flat top pistons in his builds but my head is a little bigger so im going with a piston that has a 6.7cc dome that should put me around a 8.4:1. The block is ready and waiting for them. Then shipping is about 4-5 weeks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kerristallax Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 Which AC condenser is that? Looks like the perfect size, and a nice fit with that pusher fan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
