I suck at organizing build threads. I change my mind alot. Shit happens alot. Whatever. So far, 2013 has been going great compared to last year. Still having some slight issues but it's manageable and i dont want to headbutt dents in my door anymore.
Engine- vg30et. Pulled from a fwd maxima, rebuilt with $250 ebay kit. 9:1 compression. $200 ebay t3/t4 60 ar housing cold side, 63 ar hot. 2.5" v band adjustable internally gated 5 bolt housing. Journal bearing. Wheels are are about the size of an hx35, maybe smaller. i figured i wanted to go between stock and the hx35 for this. I'm not sure what kills z cars other than neglect and stupidity
the cats meow:
Guys, i'm not sure if that restrictor is safe but if need be i'll just bore it out. put a twist type ball valve or tension spring ball on the line at the oil sending unit. all hardline. Why not hardline? Sold my generic e bay to a friend in need, actually sold alot of shit i bought because i didn't care about my car anymore.
quick facts:
VG30E 84-89+: Engine compression ratio of 9:1
VG30ET 84-87: Single Garrett T3 turbocharger with a factory boost setting of 6.8PSI and an engine compression ratio of 7.8:1
VG30ET 88-89+: Single Garrett T25 turbocharger with a factory boost setting of 4-5PSI and an engine compression ratio of 8.3:1
My motivation and assistance:
http://www.redz31.net/turbofaq/dyno.graphs.htmlWe'll start with the present.
I'm working on the mani. Header parts are on the way. I had to cut some corners and you know what? Zero regrets.
Early progress?
Gave it my evil blessing bunny ears.
I kinda missed when it looked like this.
Wanted stock body...that aero was hiding alot of battle damage..... I'll repair what i can. Kinda want to gentlemen the thing up but not think to hard about it you know? Standard resto shit....Next time you see the car it will either be moving or on the ground and not so ratty looking. Black. Not flat.
Control:
84 300zx turbo ecu minimal sensors. MS1 v2.2 +extra. Not sure what extra is going to run yet.
Drugs: 255lb/hr pump. Right now 259cc injectors. I'll be maxing out pressure and duty cycle. These SHOULD be enough to at least break 300whp. Down the line when i figure it out i want to run decapped side feed maxima injectors. They are said to flow over 500cc's after that. Hello transmission breaking boost potential. Still, gotta crawl before i can walk......
