LAYEDOUTB2K Posted September 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2008 he almost got the motor in tonight. he has to do a little trimming on the front edge of the crossmember to get the oil pan to fit. the LZ22 is a pretty sweet setup. hes runnin a single holley right now to start out but has sidedraft 44mm solexes that are goin on it. he was having problems getting his cam oiler out of the old valve cover so itll go in later. the motor came out of his old "mini stock" 510 that he raced at the local circle track. they calculated it out and found it is 16.1:1 compression and it runs 8k rpms. its got a bunch of trick stuff like an aluminum flywheel, billet electronic distributer, remote and adjustable timing and rev limiter, and sumped oil pan. his coilovers for the back just showed up the other day. all the wiring is most of the way done so its getting pretty close to getting it back on the road.

Bleach Posted September 29, 2008 Report Share Posted September 29, 2008 dag yo! 16:1 compression... can that run on 92 octaine or is it race fuel only? Quote Link to comment
LAYEDOUTB2K Posted September 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2008 normally it runs on race gas but he was able to tune it down a bit last time it was in a street car and ran 50% 92 and 50% 110 Quote Link to comment
thegreencar Posted September 29, 2008 Report Share Posted September 29, 2008 Dude, your alternator is on the wrong side. :D So it's a 'Z' block with an 'L' head? Cool! Quote Link to comment
LAYEDOUTB2K Posted September 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2008 So it's a 'Z' block with an 'L' head? Cool! correct. to get the head gasket to stay together with that much compression he also has to spray aluminized paint on the surfaces and let it get tacky before he lays the gasket on. anyone notice the oil line going in the side of the pan? thats where the pickup is for the oil and then it goes straight into the side of the pump. the internal pickup is blocked off.

Duke Posted September 29, 2008 Report Share Posted September 29, 2008 Why did he convert to front sump? I'm guessing to move the pickup so it doesn't get starved when going left. Is the crossmember flipped? I bet that thing will sound pretty nasty with the dual solexes. Quote Link to comment
LAYEDOUTB2K Posted September 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2008 yep, the motor was originally built for a circle track car as far as not starving when turning left. the baffles in the pan also keep it from starving the other way as it has also been autocrossed too. it holds more capacity than a stock pan and still keeps the stock location of the crossmember(the front lip just has to be trimmed a little bit.)

charlie6178 Posted October 14, 2008 Report Share Posted October 14, 2008 okay so i 300% love those wheels and i'm getting ready to order the same set, but i didn't know if zero offset would stick out too far. i know yours has narrowed suspension, but do you think those wheels would fit on a stock suspension 2dr with the BRE flares????? also tire size????? Quote Link to comment
LAYEDOUTB2K Posted October 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2008 i really have no clue as far as the fitment with bre flares. ive only seen a few 510s in person that had those flares and that was just at canby. the tires i believe are 215/40/16 Quote Link to comment
charlie6178 Posted October 14, 2008 Report Share Posted October 14, 2008 well do you think that they would fit on a standard 510 without the narrowed rear??? as far as the front end goes did you do anything to make them fit??? Quote Link to comment
LAYEDOUTB2K Posted October 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2008 in that size those wheels wont fit without being narrowed. i havent dealt too much with wheel fitment so im not sure what will fit. the front is i believe 280z stuts which i think are .5" narrower and shorter control arms and the upper mount is moved in a bit. im not totally sure on that as i havent really been working with my dad on this project.

charlie6178 Posted October 14, 2008 Report Share Posted October 14, 2008 ahh, i see. do you have any idea how much narrower the rear is than stock? cuz i think the fronts should fit, and i would think the rears might too with some cutting and welding on the wheel wells. the BRE flares give it and extra 3" of clearance at the least. some spots even have more!

LAYEDOUTB2K Posted October 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2008 ill have to ask about that. heres a couple more pis i found Quote Link to comment

Yes, these wheels will fit a stock suspended 510 with BRE flares. Quote Link to comment
INDY510 Posted October 14, 2008 Report Share Posted October 14, 2008 (edited) This is a 16x8 wheel with a zero offset, and a 225/40/16 tire: DOES NOT fit with coilovers: The tires almost worked before coilovers, but were really close to the strut tube .....Sorry for the threadjack, but I am trying to help charlie6178 save some time and money. LayedoutB2K: What did you do for front suspension? Edited October 14, 2008 by INDY510 Quote Link to comment
charlie6178 Posted October 14, 2008 Report Share Posted October 14, 2008 well i do have coil overs that i am planning on putting on at the same time i do the wheels ...... well i wannted a really low tire on it like a 215 or a 205. do the wheels themselves fit indy510??? or would they fit with some spacers??? and that front suspension question still awaits...

INDY510 Posted October 14, 2008 Report Share Posted October 14, 2008 (edited) No they don't fit without tires: Spacers won't work because the BRE flares are not big enough. Edited October 14, 2008 by INDY510 Quote Link to comment
Duke Posted October 14, 2008 Report Share Posted October 14, 2008 Indy, are you sure those are zero offset? On stock 510 struts? I ask because an 8" wide, 0 offset wheel typically has around 4.5" of back spacing. That is the same back spacing as a 7" wide wheel with a +13mm offset. Considering that a +20mm 7" wheel is known to fit stock 510 struts, I don't see how a zero offset 8" wheel wouldn't fit. I am thinking of putting these very wheels on my slightly flared car, and I've done some measurements, and I'm pretty confident that they will fit, and my flares are much smaller than BRE flares.

charlie6178 Posted October 15, 2008 Report Share Posted October 15, 2008 that is a good theory the duke has.... as long as i can fit the wheel under the flare i'll do it... my flares are about the same size as the red car pictured above.. i honestly dont care about cutting on the car, whatever it takes to make it fit!

INDY510 Posted October 15, 2008 Report Share Posted October 15, 2008 (edited) Indy, are you sure those are zero offset? On stock 510 struts? They are actually 16x8 with a +10mm offset, and a 10mm spacer This picture is with the 10mm spacer, and NO COILOVERS, only stock 510 suspension: The same wheels DO NOT fit with coilovers, the 13"s fit with coilovers, and stock 510 strut tubes Edited October 16, 2008 by INDY510 Quote Link to comment
///FiveOneOh Posted October 15, 2008 Report Share Posted October 15, 2008 what strut/hub assy are you useing indy? and for that matter what setup is on the blue 510?? With my wagon dropped on S12 struts/hubs and coil overs my 16X7 +14 racing hearts rub HARD on my fender lips and I've rolled the crap outa them. I'm gonna have to crank in camber up front to clear. I have a ton of room inboard though. Quote Link to comment
