jnjdragracing Posted January 18, 2012 Author Share Posted January 18, 2012 Very Nice setup. Is that a trans cooler next to the water tank? My Iat's were a lot higher then i would like with my A2A so I have been contemplating a A2W setup or meth injection. Thanks ,That is a watercooled trans cooler,and water tank that are made by Chiseled performance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jnjdragracing Posted February 19, 2012 Author Share Posted February 19, 2012 Well were are getting closer, today John ( my best Friend and Brother )came over and finished the braided fuel rail lines and turbo return oil lines while I fabed the mounting brackets for the water tank and trans cooler. We worked on the fuel cell adding the AN 12 bung, and figuring out were to mount the fuel pump in conjuction to the cell. I am hoping to have at the dyno and then the track the first of march.But time will tell.Jerry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Z-Gad Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 John / Jerry You guys rock!! I am a little late catching up on this thread, but am subscribed now!! Keep up the good work P.S. I am missing the DNI events as well, since I moved to PA a couple of years ago, I have done next to no racing to speak of and have been slowly converting the car into more of a street driver (pulled the NX kit, installed a 6-speed with a triple disc clutch, and some power heated 350z seats)... Don't get me wrong, it is not going to be JUST a street car (had the chassis recertified last weekend), but it is seeing more street duty and cruising than before...

Mike Mike, Thanks for the reply, you and Scottie or one of the reasons I have taken this path(Turbos) and Rip (Zebra Z) is the second. You were the first Z with the R200 in the 8's and I hope to be there shortly myself, our mph was 153 and that was enough to get a 8 sec pass but we were baby off the line at that DNI event.I miss the DNI (SEZ shoot outs) too. How did the Techno toy rear swap work out? I have watched this video alot , several hundreds of times I know. The last time I was follow your post you had ordered the TT setup for the rear, and you went to a 88mm turbo. Are you still running this setup?I talked with John this past week end about starting our other Z project. It is a 74 260Z that I bought several years ago, it has the frame rails in it all ready and a 9" ford rear with ladder bars. But, I want to see how far or fast we can go with the R200 setup. Thanks and GREAT to hear from you.Jerry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks and GREAT to hear from you.Jerry Well Jerry, the 88mm turbo was short lived, as I had some strange cavitating, fluctuation in boost pressure, and inability to keep the turbo spooled without the nitrous between shifts... It wnet 152 mph, even having all the problems, but I eventually went back to the 76mm turbo. The TTT rear end setup has been great, no breakage and has taken everything I have thrown at it thus far. We'll see how it handles the stick shift though You guys launch that R200 harder than I did, so I have no doubt you'll be able to get there. I'd be surprised if I was the first one into the 8's with the R200, but I guess it is possible.... Anyway, keep the updates coming and when I have something to report I will..

jnjdragracing Posted April 18, 2012 Author Share Posted April 18, 2012 I took the Z over to my Brothers shop ( John ) last week ,so he could get started on rewiring the electronics, and new FAST fuel injection system. Then it will be off to the Dyno, and then the track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jnjdragracing Posted May 2, 2012 Author Share Posted May 2, 2012 (edited) Well , John fired it up for the first time last night. All is good no leaks .He has been hard at work finishing up the electronics. I made a appointment to go to the Muffler Shop ( Dyno) week after next.

DavyZ Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 Love the front shot of the car with those big BIG BIGturbos in front. For some reason I can't save it as a photo? Very cool indeed. Great progress and we can't wait to see this car in action. Davy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jnjdragracing Posted May 20, 2012 Author Share Posted May 20, 2012 (edited) Thanks DavyZ, will be heading to the track in a couple of weeks,and looking forward to seeing what kind of ET's will have.

ttsbc280z Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 This car is simply bad ass! On your old setup were you just dumping the trans brake on the half shafts? with a manual I broke a few with my car until i installed some bump stops on the struts, Now i have a trans braked th350 however i am kinda scared to try out the trans brake because it will leave me stranded at the track if all does not go well.

John Scott Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 (edited) Hard to get used to the new smooth hood profile, no big blower is kind of like losing that timeless pin up girl posing on the hood. Enjoying the evolution with you die hard Z fanatics. Track numbers will be great! Edited May 22, 2012 by John Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for your reply, the glide that is in the car now is the first with a transbrake.I made limiters for the rear struts so when under hard launch the shafts are straight with no negative angles.This prolonged the life of the shafts but after10 to 15 passes I would have to replace the ujoints. Since we now are using ,and have been using the 300 ZX Turbo CV axles for 3 years ,we have had 0 breakage, knock on wood.

Yea, it has evolved, but I feel like it is for the best, but now I can see the christmas tree with out leaning over in to the passenger seat.With this new set up I hope we can run faster ,by bring in the boost when we want it, and ramp it up as well.Thanks Jerry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ttsbc280z Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 (edited) right on, did you upgrade your stub axles also when doing the cv swap? what are you running for the suspension up front if you dont mind??

I am running stock stubs,so far so good, and CARQUEST brand stock struts on all corners, I do have limiters on the frontend,so I can adjust the travel.
