i like pics

570z

also pics of my slave setup. that hardened release fork is a bitch to drill through. just incase you guys ever use one of these, make sure to do the drilling on a press before you install the trans. you will need to

hey bro... how much for the porsche? lol. what is it a 944? i heart the 944 turbo. and the S since it was DOHC i believe.

570z

haha 2500. its nothing special its an 84 944 n/a
truth be told its a dog.
but what a chassis

snwbrderphat540

to boring for my tastes... lol, but i do like the 944's alot, just wish they did better with the motor combo's. 911turbo from the late 80's early 90's though. sex!

570z

absolutely. i had the chance to drive an 85 RUF 911 turbo. OH MY GAWD!!! thats thing was a beast

snwbrderphat540

lol, i wish i could afford any 80' 911 turbo, but all of them i can find are super low mile mint condition 25000 for the cheapest. and the cheapest 944 turbo i can find is 7500... i swear just a couple years ago i could find the 944 turbo's for 5k.... damn porsche's.... lol. also, thats an interesting way you have the slave on there, the actuator on the mount and the slave mount end on the fork.... are you going to reverse that? cause wont it be tugging on the clutch line? also, when we gonna see some vids? haha

570z

huh, i never even considered doing it that way. i guess thats where working till 3am gets ya. der!
ill get some vids here soon. i finally drove it for the first time. just kinda putted it around but it feels great. i need to adjust the rockers and change the trans fluid to gl4 and its good to go.
I CANT WAIT!

snwbrderphat540

lol, the other day i was up at 7 am for work, home, eat, rode the bike, then off to my buddies shop at about 6pm then working on his 98 CBR 900RR till 9am the next day. no sleep!!! it blew. lol. only thing that wasn't removed from the bike was the engine and head internals. chrome frame, swapped carbs, lowering link (its slammed!) swapped clip-ons stretched. so very very much... and 93 bodywork stuck on it. all that and we found out the chain was no go. lol. so i know how you mean. hope the Z hauls when you goose it

570z

I DROVE IT HOME TODAY!!
im so excited. she drives great. right front is a little toed out. no big deal.
she also has a mis.
cyl 3 and 5 are very weak. the motor is fresh. i just readjusted the valves its getting consistent spark. fuel yes. even the plugs look nice and tan. i dont get it.
anyone chevy savvy?

snwbrderphat540

how fresh is the motor for sure? check compression to be safe? if that ok then timing possibly since you say spark is strong on them. how's it turn with that heavy *** motor in it though? lol

570z

it actually turns very well.
the small black chevy is actually lighter than the origonal l24. and because its 2 cylinders shorter, the motor sits completely behind the front wheels so weight distrubution is better than that of a stock z.
roughly 51/49.
timing is dead on, compression is awesome across the board.
but even running on 6 its got torque up the ***. i cant wait till its running 100%

570z

hey, someone asked about my mount relocations. i took a pic. also some new pics of the car

BlueKitsune

I know this may sound dumb but, Did you accidentally cross the wires?

570z

i did consider that, but i went through it all and theyre ok

theramz

I like the perfect location for the mounts!

check your HEI module. and check your cap and rotor while your at it.

snwbrderphat540

thats a beautiful weld...

also, coulda swore after i posted that i did the research and found the SBC to weigh 100lbs more than the L28. doubt the L24 would weigh to much more...

hoov100

its not the weight its where the weight goes thats important..

570z

snowbrder540, looks like your right. i did a little more research myself. the origonal writeup i was reading was on a 350 w aluminum heads. can you beleive you can lose nearly 90 lbs like that? jesus christ G.M. why dont you just make the car out of lead.

hoov100

its gonna take more then heads to shave 90 pounds off a sbc, i dont think een stock heads weight that much combined! with an aluminum radiator, alum. heads. alum. intake, alum. water pump and headers you may get 90 pounds, assuming you start from a STOCK sbc. also you can lose quite a few pounds by going from the stock cast crank to a nice forged after market piece.
