That definitely looks like a roadster manifold, plus I dont think 210s ever came with SUs. I have no idea on price... you could probably sell them though. Plenty of roadster people still around.

Those are roadster SUs on an R-series intake.

Thats my point exactly. People running R1 carbs wont do any of the other necessary items to enact a great enough change in tuning... everyone just slap a bank of carbs on a manifold and goes. Then they find whatever velocity stacks fit and are cheap. So the only thing in that they can change (if they were to make their own manifold) would be runner length.

My friend would probably drive up to the border to do the deal, but I think with you being on the Island makes it a little more of a pain. Thanks thought Mike!

Jun, I dont know shit about Zs, but Im excited you have a new project. I eagerly wait updates :)

Its free in the aspect that were already making a custom intake to mount the carbs... might as well make it right so get the most out of it. This is all common practice in SMIM fabrication... What I do see happening though is that the gains are going to be almost negligible for most on this. Very few people port match their manifold, no one runs a plenum (except Spudly and his design is horribly inefficient), and no one is looking for flow data on the air horns they are installing. Deciding to use 6in runners over 9in runners (or vice versa) would be beneficial, but I think the positives to that length wouldnt be seen since thats the only thing you're doing for your intake. Theres a reason that SMIMs are expensive... quite a bit of thought goes into them and that doesnt include the labor to put it together.

I think the ad is the above post lol. Damn... sucks about that goon. I really wanted that A/C.

PMd. PMd. Yes its a 72. Travelling is not an issue for him. Thanks for the replies everyone!

I have a metal 521 dash if you can settle for that...

So... how about less arguing about roof racks and more pictures of this sweet truck?

I should have explained my postion a little better, but I was on my phone waiting for my car to warm up so I could leave work. 72, I fully agree that something like the LS or any newer engine will see significantly more gains due to an increase in intake pressure over our 40yr old heads. Without reading what Mike did, I do not agree with his number or 3psi increase with just adding a couple inches to the runners. What I do know, is that there will be a sweet spot that will have a beneficial change based off your runner length, flange porting, air horn shape (if youre running them), plenum volume (which most arent running with this setup), etc. I doubt you will see 30hp change, but I would estimate you could easily see 5hp. I do agree with your point that just changing intakes on cars can dramatically change their intake efficiency; I have seen it hundreds of times first hand. Many cars gain about 5-6hp by just changing from the stock airbox to a short ram intake and even more if using a true cold air intake. Ive even seen double digit increases just by getting rid of the stock crap airbox. I would have to look at Mikes data to see where hes getting his numbers. Im sure I can still pull a few free ponies out of thin air (pun intended) by changing up my design.

Yeah, but the principles should still carry over. The L-series may be far less efficient compared to the LS-series when it comes to using that "3psi" of boost, but there has to be some benefit I would assume. Then again it could be negligible... I doubt it though as Spudly is making decent power with only 5psi of boost with his turbo setup (I think that's his number). Regardless how you get a greater amount of intake volume... Whether its by turbocharger, supercharger, of intake runner length... 3psi is still 3psi.

Sweet! When's the party? It should be the 3rd since I'll already be down there :D

Bump.

I just saw the message after reading this... I dont know how I missed it. Ill call tomorrow and chat you up.

Damn! Thats one dirty motor...

Depending on the model RX7 it could be either 5x114.3 or 4x114.3 or 4x110...

Already organized? Sweet!

Eventually I will probably go through all them and organize them (as its on my server) if they aren't already. Glad to see these as they were before my time.

There's a 4spd I think... Could be a 5spd up by me. Let me check on it and send the info along once I know more. I might be able to hook you up.

If you still need taillight buckets I have a set.

Auto/4spd/5spd? You have a few options... you can also use KA 5spds if you swap bellhousing fronts. If you dont need any of the bends and such for the floor, just weld in some sheet metal. Otherwise there are a few places that make floors for them. Ebay has some sometimes, there a guy on the 510 Realm that makes them I believe, and there a member here (Wead) over in AU that makes them as well.

Welcome to the site. You better post pictures immediately before you get kicked out after one post. Joking.... but seriously... pictures :poke: You really are looking in the wrong spot for parts. Theres a bunch of us in the area, so finding almost anything you need should be easy. I was curoius how Ive never seen your car driving around since Im always in Tacoma, but then you mentioned its a shell. If you ever need help, post here or some of us locals can roll by. Edit: looks like you edited in one measly picture. I guess its better than nothing.

Yes sir! I figured I couldnt let the info and pictures go to digital rust so I worked with GG to rehost it. Its the least I could do for all this community has done for me.

Ill see what I can do. PM me your contact info and I will pass along the message. Thats saying a lot for a 40yr old car, just saying.
