Sweet man, I'll be keeping an eye on this! I need to learn about z18et's as much as pos before I do mine

[dmitry]

SWEET, like the group C manifold, need to replicate me thinks!!!

[Mikewazowski]

Did your standard turbo have a really rowdy spool?
Andy's old Z18et (with a rebuilt factory turbo) had the noisiest spool I've ever heard. It was awesome!

Same in my 610. Has some pretty loud spool, and I'm running factory everything.

do you have any specs for the standard cam? or know how the new cam compares to the standard 1
also got a set of s110 headlights you would sell me? would look sweet on my 910

[dmitry]

Hey man sorry dont actually know how this compares to the specs of the standard cam but they are quite different by the looks of things, its a fair regrind, nothing outrageous as i dont want any valve overlap due to it being a turbo setup.

Sorry I have 1 3/4 set of headlights, not too keen to sell them, sorry dude, they would look sweet though.

[sssx]

all good man its always good having spares when youve got a rare car ay

[z18et1200coupe]

hey man, just wondering if you have any spare rear brakes? i'm pretty sure i've got s110 rear brakes on my 1200 and the calipers are stuffed so i need some new ones!
cheers

I just noticed that your cam card gives you suggested centerlines for the intake, and exhaust. Thats a bit of a lol, as they're both ground into the one camshaft, it's not possible to adjust it.

Nice Engine build, most of the cast iron Nissan turbo manifolds of the era were designed fairly simialr to each other.

The easiest way to see how well your turbo manifold is performing is to put a fitting in the manifold and connect it to a boost gauge and compare boost pressure vs manifold pressure.

if manifold pressure is lower than boost pressure it means its performing exceptionally well ( that wont happen on a OEM manifold )
if manifold pressure is less than 1.5 x boost pressure ( and your getting nice fast spool ) then its performing OK and probably isn't worth changing.
