Some sk stack polishing going down.

I honestly just gave him an old distributor and then the jeep cas. I told him to make the jeep identical to the stock dizzy. I believe he cut the shaft, then he mimicked the slot. Then drilled the shaft for the stock pin. Then pinned it together.

Vintage Sk throttle body update. I think I found a injector style I like and a oring I like. The injector has a long nozzle and 8 tiny spray holes. The O-ring is some Porsche 16.5mm one meant to adapt newer style injectors, but fits perfectly. Almost too tight, but firmly presses in. Shouldn’t leak air at all and remain snug. I also picked a fuel rail for my vintage ITB. It’s the stock that Tsumori uses in Japan. I couldn’t find anything I loved. I will be doing clear anodized on the fuel rail parts.

I turned the psi down a little and it’s a way better finish

My vintage SK throttle bodies look pretty darn amazing after vapor blasting. Casting quality is good, not as good as a Mikuni carb. They should look amazing on my 240z. These are late 70s or early 80s. Now time to re zinc all the parts and rebuild them! FullSizeRender.mov

I plan to do a single stage paint when it's time on my series 1. Base clear looks odd to me on a z. The single stage, makes it look authentic.

Bezel is done and installed! S seal on the safety glass. I love how much visibility I have.

7.5hp and 25cfm

Well the compressor came. It’s 28” deep instead of the 23” their webpage says. So it’s a tight fit. My wife isn’t happy:) Its pretty darn nice. Internal pumps and such are all weg, which I like. I am hopeful this is the last Compressor I ever have to buy.

15x8 and I would be all over it:)

I switched to brass bulk head fittings and added a fresh water rinse. Excited to get back to using it. I also added an LED from Amazon. We use this same Model at work.

Some L series piston porn for your Thursday viewing pleasure. Originally the ceramic coating had some issues. I reached out to the company eagle suggested and they fixed them for me. Much better coating job. Contact IA coatings: https://www.facebook.com/iacoatings/

I finally got all my vintage SK throttle bodies from japan. I’m super happy with the casting and the overall design of them. The inner fit or choke they use is pretty interesting. Without its 47 tapered to 45mm. Oer actually still uses the same design, and I can buy different inner fits. The right 3 are 40mm throttle bodies. The left 4 are 45s. I believe it’s the same casting. But actually sleeved differently not machined. Luckily one has a D shaft end and my tps sensors all work on it. One of the vacuum accumulation block things even has either a map signal or a iac valve in it. Pretty darn cool for something so old. I really like that they look a little more Mikuni/ dcoe carb. The stacks are super beefy.

I decided I hate the Sound of my compressor. Plus it is a pile of junk. I splurged and bought a rotary screw Schulz 4008. Which is a pretty small footprint 60 gallon 7.5hp unit 69db and 25 cfm. All the larger compressors that could handle the cfm were huge. To run vapor rig you really need a minimum of 18cfm. But really 25cfm. Hopefully this is the last compressor I have to buy in my life.

I have never had glass. Prior it was plexi. So it got scratched and broken. So time will tell.

I have been working on some news mods for my rig. I also brought it home for the first time. It’s been at a buddy’s auto shop for a long time. Mainly fresh water rinse and a access door that isn’t also the viewing. I got some new tempered glass and a stainless stand for it. Rinse is super important to keep media in the cabinet. The pump comes stock with a odd 45 degree elbow, which makes it’s hard to fit in a container, so I got a new straight one off their webpage

I designed and made my own coil bracket based off of blakes. Here is the info.

This is my first motor build, I am having a little fun. Rebello and my builder are friends. I have rebellos pistons, valve retainers and rods and bearings.

Yeah, there are 100 little things you can do to the motor, each doesn't affect much, but added up they could. Time will tell.

Rebello pistons just got back from ceramic coating by Performance Coatings, Inc. No clue if it was a good idea or not. But we decided to give it a try. Ceramic on top, anti scuff on sides, thermal barrier on bottom. The color is more of a bronze then the picture is showing.

I have socks, stack filters etc... most of the time I don’t use much.

I can design the box to flow correctly, really this is just a fun project. Lots of info about air needed for HP. I honestly like the looks and sound of raw stacks.

No. I plan on some sort of stack filters. Maybe someday something like this

Maf doesn’t work with ITB. If i used a intake box it would. I will use tps for most load tables.

A few of you may know this. But last year I designed and made a coil on plug bracket based of Bryan Blake’s ford coil on plug design. It uses the Nissan coil head used on the Nissan GTR R35. Works perfectly, bolts on and you can even buy a very nice pre made wiring harness from platinum racing products. Coils are fairly cost effective. Takes a specific boot (2-3 actually work) to work. It’s one of the best coils on the market. I believe only the AEM coil beats it. Basically he took my design based off of his, then fixed some of my issues and is now selling them. Bottom pictures are my bracket installed on my 240z. Email Bryan to place and order. Eventually he will sell on eBay. bryan@blakemachine.com
