cmon jake, keep the 2+2 and be the triplet.

apollo 01-21-2007 10:58 PM

Haha, im cool. They can be all luvvie duvvie twin status and i'll just take the turbo motor and tranny. . .

FubarI33t 01-22-2007 04:31 AM

well. I am not Turbo. but i Am 2+2. and since i am N/A and most of my power is not in the upper RPM's. I think it might just work for me. unless you sugest the regular p90.

veyenyl 01-22-2007 12:55 PM

Chee Hoo! :023: What are the plans for engine management?

apollo 01-22-2007 03:10 PM

None. Im keeping it simple. Intercooler later, then upgraded turbo later later. Its gunna be a very street friendly turbo swap with little to no mods. Tame if you will. If and when i ever get an S30, thats when i'll go nuts with a turbo motor. But most likely something a lil newer. Like a SR or RB or JZ. . .something along those lines

lww 01-22-2007 05:31 PM

RB. The SR just isn't right in a Z car and the JZ is cool, but... it's a Toyota...

SHADY280 01-22-2007 06:31 PM

i was gonna put in the mph guages for my trip down to cali for msa to look the part, and screw with the american spectators. then they will get transfered to the race car, the 82 bob sharp car, just cause i can

Right on. I'm all for low buck swaps. Just warning you now. You WILL get bit by the turbo bug. After a few weeks of driving at stock boost it will start feeling like your N/A and you'll want more.:icon_madu:

Icice...are you seeing this...hint hint

snwbrderphat540 01-22-2007 06:45 PM

hmmm.... i feel like winning the lottery.... that way after i get that bug, i can be like.... hmm.... i guess new injectors.... and then, hmm... guess intercooler.... boost controller.... standalone engine management.... much bigger turbo... fulll motor rebuild.... hmm... still not enough motor swap and rebuild.... and so on. lol... that way i just dont blow it all at once and have the same car for sooo long....

SHADY280 01-22-2007 07:56 PM

my built n/a feels so slow after i get used to it. then i whoop a s2000 or mustang and realize how fast it really is.

Shady...stop dreamin man...you know those little Del Sol's take your car from light to light so how are you beating s2000's and Mustangs? 24 seconds in a quarter mile isn't fast buddy....:paranoid:




































DUDE!!! j/k :037:

And for the love of sliced bread, give that poor old man his card back. It'll be a year in april . . .

I've got some parts for sale like the P90a, so maybe I'll try to sell it and then send you some cash for the 2+2 t-tops. I can pay you now and just pick them up later if you need cash. Don't go run to the boarder with my money though!

ok, ok... I'll send Bullet Hole Bill his wireless card... :wasted:

The P90 and P90a have the same combution chamber as the P79 so shaving will give you the same results. The NA cam only has a powerband to 5200 rpm so its not like you'll be going past that anyway

Haha, yea. I have a feeling that might happen but even if it does, I dont have the funds to **** with something like that yet. Once I bring it back to life, i lose the honda DD and the Z will once again be my daily until i get my FZ *day dreams*:retard:

As for the T-tops, i duuno if you want'm, bleach. I was checking them out yesterday and they have bubling around the black trim. Just a lil on both sides, but if anything you can takem for uber cheap.

Bleach 01-23-2007 02:03 PM

I don't need them now but I'm just keeping an eye out for uber cheap 2+2 t-tops just in case... you know, some idiot might break mine or steal mine some day and I'd like something to keep the rain out. :D I mean, something to set in the hatch while I let the sun rays in.

they sound good enough for what I want to do with them.

;)

apollo 01-23-2007 05:10 PM

Ah, gotcha. Well you can takem for the low low price of 1935.87 in 39 easy payments, but better act fast because if you call now i'll even throw in a jar of California air!

snwbrderphat540 01-23-2007 06:31 PM

:103: I KN0W!!!! I'd pay at least twice that much just for the jar of air!!! :045:

apollo 01-24-2007 05:26 PM

Anyone local have an engine leveler?
It seems that mine was lent out by my father or bro and nobody knows where it is. So i need that snap to get my swap goin and its holding me up. Anyone want to lend me theirs? You come through with the leveler i'll provide lunch and beer and a chance to get your hands dirty if you want

lww 01-24-2007 06:24 PM

Bah! You only need that for puttin'em in, not taken 'em out!

apollo 01-24-2007 06:26 PM

Even with the tranny atatched?

FubarI33t 01-24-2007 07:13 PM

i used a short chain on trans top bolt. and front lift bar, and a comealong. she came out fine. and went in fine. no leveler crap needed.

snwbrderphat540 01-24-2007 07:22 PM

fubar i like the catchphrase you got there... engine fire? pfffft!

FubarI33t 01-24-2007 07:39 PM

yeh. my engine had been in a fire before i got it. It ran after the fire. and before i got it. but at one time. the car was on fire.

SHADY280 01-24-2007 08:31 PM
