  1. flomasters sound just outright obnoxious, to me anyway, thats my opinion, cant stand the sound of them, that with the fact that they are so baffled that they dont really perform well at all. you would be better off with a dynomax or a magnaflo over the flomaster. as most have already stated a good 2.25 for a stock enginged Z will be enough. best system i heard on a stock motor was a dynomax bullet muffler with there straight threw design muffler out the back. 2.5 inch sounded mean at idle but didnt rattle your mind going down the road at speed. mandrel bends btw are the only way to go. 2.25 inch pipe in a press bend can shrink to 1.85 inch pipe, ie making your system a 1.85 inch system, why thats the bottle neck
  2. yea right!!!!!!!! with the current engine there is no way in HELL, ill be beating a skyline anytime in the near future. on another note ive always wanted to go to japan or australia or new zealand just to get to see and drive a skyline, older gts and the like. to endulge myself in the finer things of life that we dont have here in the usa unfortunately

    but there was a nice solex set up on ebay not to long ago for 399 complete!
  4. I was hoping for low 13's but I guess I cant expect to much at first. I figure with pushing the T3 to its limits at 18#'s of boost and 370cc injectors Ill at least be deep into the 13's. Im shooting for consistent 12's though, even 12.95 . Just as long as I get it there Ill be happy for a little while anyway:devious:

    and if you have a 78 280Z with 5 speed you have a 3.70 rear which is why you were in 4th. i have a 3.54 rear and hit 5th in the 1/4 times for a stock 280Z are about 16+ for the 1/4

    a lil 6k mile maintenance valve adjustment and it comes with pics as well
  9. bambi, elevation reaks havick with a carbureted engine, like bambi said fi systems seem to take up for this failing. simple adjustments should be your only need. by the same token opening up to the k n n style filters and letting your engine breathe a little better cannot hurt at all.
  10. i was told that i couldnt beat a 350Z though, if anything i beat there published times. i did however beat a newer ss camaro:devious: though he also beat me as well. it seems that some cars i thought were much more powerful are not as powerful as i previously thought. i wanted to push the T3 to its limits but with still having stock injectors i was to afraid to try, i like my motor. i will soon have 370cc injectors, by next year when the track opens again, ill hopefully have a new T3 T4OE, but that will be seen. i know though with just a LITTLE bit more, i can get that car into the low 13's without question. ill be happy when it will run consistent 12's, at least for a little while:cheeky:
  11. hehe today was my bday and i went to the track to have a little fun. i thought that my ZXT was faster then what i was but im still satisfied with the results nonetheless. my first run though i had a great for first timer RT, the 1/4 time was horrible here the stats of the first run. R/T ... .978 60 ... 2.671 330 ... 6.556 1/8 ... 9.636 1000 ... 12.263 1/4 ... 14.503 MPH ... 97.09 Best run out of 4 R/T ... .708 60 ... 2.112 330 ... 5.899 1/8 ... 8.901 1000 ... 11.508 1/4 ... 13.549 MPH ... 101.90 as i kept going i kept getting better. launching with a turbo is definetly hard. i got beat by a cobra, that ran 13 flat, beat a newer camaro that beat me once, and beat a 78 camaro. im happy i think i did pretty good for my first time. this is all stock motor and injectors, 15#'s of boost, 944 ic, all stock driveline. some bigger injectors and a little more boost and im going to the low low 13's, maybe 12's:devious:
  12. though the P90 will flow a little better, then main thing of it is with the P90 you will have to shave about .080 off the head, then of course shim the cam towers to maintian valve train geometry

    the common tb upgrade from the 240sx its 60mm and isnt to hard to make work.
  21. are the 75 and 76 280Z tank, no other tank will fit. it is kind of stuffed in there as well. something else you will have to do is change the fuel lines as well. its pretty easy concidering all you would have to do is the same anyone that has done a turbo conversion has already done. search some other sites for turbo conversions and you will find all the information you need to do this
  22. so you know there is no snobbery here. it would be good for the rear and for the engine conversion for your Z, but honestly with all that rust i would pass on it for anything else. it isnt worth a whole lot considering all the rust repair that needs to be done which would seriously outweigh the low mileage. if he wants more then 2-500 then pass.

    I dont know why or where people think the P90a is a bad head, if you think so then I think you may want to talk to jeff priddy. He is making at last dyno 458 horses to the REAR WHEELS with the P90a head. So if its not a good head then I guess something must be wrong here huh. The P90a is a good head, its quiet and nothing is wrong with the hydraulic lifters. No adjusting, quiet and they CAN BE REBUILT!!! Go with it and make what you want. I say its a good choice!

  25. they way it mounts on the porsche is a 180 of the way i have it. and on the top which would be the bottom on the porshce there is a plate that mounts to a sub frame underneath. what i did was use a ss steel plate coming from the bumper and bolt it to that. so the two mounts that you see arent the only thing holding it on. i dont think i did to bad, it can always be better but hey. 2many you are right though, i think it was not wanting to wait and being a bit lazy with it that made me take the easy route. NEVER again I tell you
