If you do, how do you like it? Im thinking of tradeing/selling my black n/a for a 240 just so i can save some money on the gas for a bit while i finish my turbo project... and then hopefully keep the 240 while i go to school also...
so if you drive a 240... give me your thoughts and opinions...
how would the timing belt tension have anything to do with that? thats just about metal on metal with DIRTY oil... a machine shop can polish those cams and make em look brand new (as they did mine just the other day) and the caps can be cleaned up with a piece of 1500 Grit sand paper.
and...
even say... a belt sander? haha...
i know for a composit, its a lot less "picky". but doesnt that same surface also create hot spots? just wondering...
i've done enough reading on oil tonight... i'll start on that tomorow... i try to tackle one aspect of the 7m each week/day... depends on how lazy i am.
you should take some more pictures of that sweet manifold you have though. show it off damnit!
isnt there a saying that "everything works as a theory but not in reality"... something like that...
whats the better combo for a ct-26 or a smaller sized turbo... defintaley smaller than that to4z that your slappin on your car.. haha
short + big plenum?
long + small plenum?
please...
isnt that also in part due to you wanting the mid-length runners? if you had say... just the plenum welded to the lower intake mani, wouldn that clear? along with a Long runner setup would clear also wouldnt it? you just got the bastard child of the two that doesnt fit... haha
could you solve that by dropping the motor in WITH the manifold installed??... although then i guess you couldnt get it out unless you took out the studs huh? wouldnt that be funny if you didnt catch that before...
throw in an electirc switch between the VSV and the mani... and make it controllable with the AEM??? im sure YOU could figure something out... haha
i think we should get seth to do a GB on manifolds... :biglaugh:
i dont see how you could get the datsun to weigh 2900 lbs... it comes stock with an inline 6. so replacing it with another inline 6 wouldnt do much... i dont think it would hit more than 2600LBS... given the trubo stuff adds a little weight... but not that much..
and if you were to gut it a...
how would you fix that EGR problem... have the nipple pre-TB?
and why would the EGR open at an idle be "bad" so to say? i can see why, but also why not...
Went to the machine shop today to get the torque plate. thanks again nosman!!!!!
head looks BEAUTIFUL. didnt get a chance to look at the block... but judging from the look of the head, im sure its just as pretty!!!!
but ran into a big issue... the caps i kept from the OEM head of my...
i can sort of see the blending now that you mention it... looks good.
and now that i think of how the EGR sits... i can see why you did it that way.
and im guessing you have ALL of the OEM hooks ups so essentially all you did was get a "better" (being an understatement) OEM manifold then...
Mid-length? how long are your runners?
did he also include the EGR "tube" to go to the front of the FFIM?
Wouldnt another option be to put it under the FFIM instead of on that side? just to hide it a little better. Or even in the middle of the FFIM underneath it?
jdub, EGR gases cool the combustion mixture right? so in doing the EGR setup that way wouldnt you also have a "cooler" running car as its mixing with all of the air coming in?
And if thats how seth makes his FFIM's. i know who im going to be talking to when it comes time for mine...
