The Crowing Posted March 8, 2012 Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 Limit the revs? maybe on a stock cam. If you build a stroker right, you can hit 8k all day long. Haha, thats rad! Quote Link to comment
Unfriendly Garage Posted March 9, 2012 Report Share Posted March 9, 2012 LOL RB25 is not reliable and WHEN shit goes wrong, id play hell to get parts for it (unlike an L, which I can go to pretty much ANY parts store and get everything for it [except a damn SU carb kit <_<]) VG30DE is just as unreliable, looks like shit, sounds like shit, and uses a rubberband to keep the cams turning. VH41 is still ugly, sounds decent at best, probably somewhat reliable, but still uses a damn rubberband. And damn Unfriendly! Where the fuck you been?? I moved and i am also getting ready to have my first kid. Someone hit my s130 in a grocery store parking lot, insurance company totaled it out.... So i bought another car to drive with the money and starting fixing the damage myself. ie new used fenders, stripping the lavender paint off, prime time, re coated the wheels, moar low, downsized tire. Going to repair the xenon front lip, adding splitter, i also have a set of ford explorer side skirts going on. Free sideskirts!! Test fit^ Its been a interesting winter. hah Quote Link to comment

PurePontiacKid Posted March 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2012 ohai Aeromotive fuel pump! wait, that doesn't look like a regular EFI pump... what's goin on here?? I see what I did thar! these carbs are awesome. I still need to clean up the tops on these ones, though. installed the aforementioned Aeromotive fuel pump, along with the Mallory FPR from my Firebird, 3-screw SU's off of my friend's '70 240Z, and put SM needles in them (moar fuel past 2k rpm, MOAR POWARR), and K&N filters to put the cherry on top the noise is epic. exhaust note is basically the same, but I can hear the intake sooo much now, it's awesome. and when I blip the throttle and at low speeds, the carbs howl/whine and it's so good haha bottom end and mid-range is epic as well, but I need to build my motor already to take full advantage of these bad boys.

bludestiny Posted March 23, 2012 Report Share Posted March 23, 2012 You're bay is so much emptier now. drill out that MAF bracket. I see that you also got the MSA cross flow rad. Did you put on your shaved head also? Quote Link to comment
PurePontiacKid Posted March 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2012 I have no idea what any of that is about lol AFM bracket will stay until I figure out what to do with the wires that are underneath it And no, I don't have an MSA radiator. I don't buy shitty parts for outrageous prices. That's a Koyorad. I don't know what you're talking about with a shaved head, either. Quote Link to comment

bludestiny Posted March 23, 2012 Report Share Posted March 23, 2012 Doing a somewhat mild L28, 9.5 to 10:1 compression, old Clifford grind cam, P90 head with a bunch of work done on it (by me and my dad) and SUs (might step up to triples later on, but this is still my DD and I have no experience with them yet lol) Shooting for ~200whp which will be a nice bump from where I'm at now and should allow me to do some 70mph+ entrys and shit haha I assumed you'd shave the head to get that compression. also just read that you'd need to "build your motor" so I guess you didn't do that yet. That koyorad looks exactly like the MSA crossflow. MSA's cross flow is made by AFCO which a pretty darn good company, not that champion overpriced shit. When I got mine for my 260z it was like $350 though, not $450 Quote Link to comment
PurePontiacKid Posted March 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2012 bought these last night for $150 i think they're for S14 (that's with the preload on the springs and perches turned all the way up) but that's okay because the dampers are blown anyways lol gonna order new dampers this week hopefurru and see what it's like to finally have really nice coilovers soon :B Quote Link to comment
FiveTenzo Posted March 26, 2012 Report Share Posted March 26, 2012 Probably S13s, S14 coilovers are noticeably longer. Quote Link to comment
PurePontiacKid Posted March 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2012 I know this. but my friend also just bought S13 coilovers for his Z31, and the lower perch is only about 1/4" away from the spring perch with preload in them.. seeing as how Stance coilovers are some of the lowest around, I don't doubt that the dampers would be this short even for S14's. Quote Link to comment
FiveTenzo Posted March 27, 2012 Report Share Posted March 27, 2012 Did your friend also buy stance coilovers for his z31? Cus my cousin is also guna do the s13 coilover conversion crap and he's not sure which ones to get. Quote Link to comment
PurePontiacKid Posted March 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2012 yeah, my friend bought the actual Z31 kit that Touge Factory sells now. comes with shorter front dampers and proper camber plates (bolt pattern is just ever-so-off from S13) and the rear is just S13's with inserts to bolt into the stock rear control arms Quote Link to comment
PurePontiacKid Posted April 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2012 new wheels bought, will be on their way tomorrow hopefully. pretty hyped, even though they're way too narrow :( here's a pic of my car in the garage for now Quote Link to comment
Edz280zx Posted April 5, 2012 Report Share Posted April 5, 2012 You do know you can get rid of most of the wiring now that you carbed it...and what you can't you can tuck away in the fenders. That's what I did on mine anyway. Quote Link to comment
jalen Posted April 5, 2012 Report Share Posted April 5, 2012 ^oics or never happened Quote Link to comment
