And if you really want high performance you can paint the strut tube red and the collar blue. Maybe some gold Alan screws for 5hp. I've got a customer who wanted me to have his new springs powder coated red and his adjusters on brand new Fox coilovers anodized blue, just like the old days. I told him no... I know, I'm a jerk. 1 1 Quote Link to comment

paradime Posted August 22, 2018 Report Share Posted August 22, 2018 The engine in this car is an L20b not an L16 stated at 2:20. The intent was to make Mick's L20 more reliable 4:30, so the added 10hp is just an ancillary benefit. 1 Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted August 22, 2018 Report Share Posted August 22, 2018 Yeah, that sounds much better. Quote Link to comment

metalmonkey47 Posted August 23, 2018 Report Share Posted August 23, 2018 9000-10000 RPM is useless anyways, unless you're building a dedicated race car. It's going to need a very special, very large cam to make any usable power that high in the powerband anyways, and the result is going to a really shitty and useless midrange. I spun LZ up to 7500 RPM a few times, but it was far from the average L. It had a fair sized cam, but still managed to run out of air pretty quickly. Z20E Block Z20 Long Rods w/ ACL Rod and Main Bearings Mahle Pistons (9.5:1 since it was originally meant for boost) BBC Rod Bolts ARP Head Studs NISMO Head Gasket Nismo Dual Valve Springs L28 Valves w/ Nismo Aluminum Retainers A87 Peanut Head (intense porting and head work) Racer Brown .475 Cam It was pretty asthmatic, breathing through a Weber 38/38. I had Z-car SU's for it, but never got the opportunity to throw them on. Made 103whp, but had timing issues (started cutting out at the top end) Quote Link to comment
Stoffregen Motorsports Posted August 25, 2018 Report Share Posted August 25, 2018 (edited) My 2200 wouldn't make power past 6500 with the DGV, but when I finally got around to installing the dual Mikuni 44's, it woke up and made power all the way up to 8000. No changes other than carburetion. I never dyno'd it with the DGV, but with the 44's, it made 210hp. Edited August 25, 2018 by Stoffregen Motorsports Quote Link to comment

datzenmike Posted August 29, 2018 Report Share Posted August 29, 2018 That was on Rebello's dyno so really 185 hp. 1 Quote Link to comment
Stoffregen Motorsports Posted September 1, 2018 Report Share Posted September 1, 2018 Yes, Rebello's engine dyno. Quote Link to comment
