Like Zed says - you have a nice set up. You really need to get as many specifics on your build before putting any power to this engine. Your VE table looks lean at boost , but I'm only NA . Injectors are huge and low impedenance I know nothing about tuning . I went with high impedance . Whatever you do- go really slow and conservative as not to combust that engine. Timing is critical too. I would HIRE someone like "Chickenman " to help you reign that in. It would be well worth your money to invest in some help. I can help a little since I run MS 3x on my car .

Question- have you attempted this without putting tin on the cable and just filling the ball socket?. I know the solder battery cable ends are filled with solder and require no tin of the cable and it holds fine

Wow- nice write up. I am currently contemplating this for my TB. I have no return issue or binding for that matter - but it should would clean up the intake and make future intake plenums easier to install .

I remember when mine was going back together and how it looked perfect( not as perfect as yours) , and for that brief unused moment it was so clean and pretty!

Yikes - looks like an Octupus is trying to swallow your steering column. Don't like the proximity to the brake valve

Couldn't find any 86mm rings or non at all? Was there any oversized available?

WOW- you got a lot going on here. I didn't see anywhere in this thread as whether you did a good check on battery voltage and alternator output.

Wait - are we talking cam timing or ignition timing?

The smart thing to do is to degree it. There are variables to consider, but you could get away with straight up. Variables like chain stretch , head shave , make a difference . I'm running 9 degrees advance on my cam, but with above stated factors

You'll love the brake kit. Been running it for years and haven't had any issues. The hydraulic brake I wouldn't trust for nothing. I kind of miss having a parking brake. All the components have worn well and the calipers still shine up nicely. Another benefit of his top hats is that your aftermarket wheels will clear the whee bearing cap and you can actually use your wheel caps. Sent from my iPhone using Classic Zcar Club mobile

I think the next thing for me is the linkage- about to go cable

Look mom- no dizzy

Definitely looks cleaner . Now go aftermarket ECU and get rid of more stuff - like dizzy and wires !

Maybe my engineering backgrounds lends itself to more of a 'push your way thru and get it done ' mentality

The combustion chamber is like a p90, but smaller , where as the Z 47 heads are more open. Also the head has a place for a CHT under #5

Anal retentive and skilled . Your line referring to smog equipment - I have a nice complete smog bolt on if you need one . I won't be needing it for my resto mods Sent from my iPhone using Classic Zcar Club mobile

Hard to tell if it was milled , but sure looks clean . Great alternative to a e31 head

You can stop with all of the over the top craftsmanship and attention to detail. Not sure if I want to completely redo my 71 or not even bother trying to achieve your level of work. I think I will stick to resto mods and utilize my artistic license to skirt around all that hard work and relentless perfection

Extended forecast looks outstanding

Wow Jamal- nice find

Oh - and loving that triple airbox- it's almost as Nissan as mine- ha!

Interested in value of the 'resto mod' done tastefully . My 70 might go that direction since I don't have matching engine. very nice car by the way!!
