Sup Brendan. In October? will hopefully have this thing going a bit earlier

Hey datto_610, i remember ya, hope those calipers worked well for ya.

Ended up using Rx7 4 pots. Check out my build thread if you can.

sweet project is that a rb25 turbo on the z18?
keen to see how this turns out
does the donor car have the stainless weather shields along the tops of the windows?

Cheers mate, that photo is actually quite old, its a rb20det turbo hanging there but now i have a choice of three turbos: 20det, 20det with a bigger front wheel and a 25det turbo. I think for now i will put the 20det with bigger front wheel on and use the 25det turbo on my s14 so that its more realistic to get both running than the other monster i have for the 25det.

do you mean chrome monsoons? if so then yup it does but i think i may be keeping them (depending on if they fit the good car or not). were you wanting a set?

[Lang Inder]

hey Lang here, they guy that bought the trailer load of s110 parts. Good to see its getting there, mine is all back together but just can't get the engine to go at the moment

Primo car dude!
Love this shape silvia!


Ive just ben told you have a 3.6 /3.7 H190 diff your hoping to swap for a 4.6?
Im the man with the 521 with a 4.6 and would love to get 3.6 to lower the revs my little 4spd makes at 100kmh.
Let me know if your keen.
Cheers

sweet interested to see how it goes
iv got a z20+et with a rb25 turbo on it
how much boost are you planning on running through it?

yea the monsoons
been looking for a set for a while

[dmitry]

Hey Lang thought you may have also been on here. So many people I have met through sales are on here small world!

sssx: would love to know how yours goes, what kind of power, driveability etc? I have never had the privelege of driving a Z engine so really unsure what to expect. I'm thinking around 1bar of boost, maybe 14psi as i dont want to push the ceramic turbo too far. I will see if I have a spare set of monsoons when its raining less dude.

Cheers dattochriswagon. If the standard diff hasnt been tampered with, then according to the factory plate its a 3.7 ratio. Brendan reckons he has sussed me out a 4.1 diff so might go along with that sorry! (unless its you he's talking about??)

If anyone has a spare h190 head they want to sell flick me a pm please as i want a locky and a spare open diff.

i havnt driven it as the bodys not in a drivable state
but my daily 910 has a z18et aparently rebuilt. standard turbo, 2.25 inch exhaust, gt4 celica intercooler front mounted and a home made bleed valve at 10psi
it goes quite good for what it is

[dmitry]

cool cheers for that sssx hows the standard turbo in terms of lag? or any ideas what a rb20det/rb25det turbo will be like?
