My oer/ SK intake plan is going to be perfect. Basically I’m looking for a clean way to do iac and pcv. I will have a plate machined to cap this faux balance bar. Then tap each runner for 1/4 or 3/8. I love the oer/ Sk linkage. The IAC and PCV will be done on the bottom out of sight. This is what the Sk/ oer intake look like under that cap. Casting is a little rough for my personal tastes. I will use a Bosch 0280140551 IAC.

So cool.
-
Real results would be dyno time and lots of headers. But I doubt that would ever happen. So many variables, I think it would be impossible to really test. cams, port work, compression, engine size, exhaust size, carb size, efi or not etc......
-
I don't know if it's a greddy shape. I would say it's not equal length. It is ceramic coated though.
-
The new fujitsubo header would be my easiest route, but the true equal length sure looks cool. Which is my goal. There is zero wrong with my current header. I contacted star road and spirit garage. Asked both about bolting up to the newer style fujitsubo exhaust.
-
Lol, 1.5 model? Between 2. New style exhaust, either adapted older header to the newer style exhaust or a test header? Who knows. It isn't the old style exhaust for sure. Fujitsubo did say that the old style header won't bolt onto new style exhaust as well. I guess the flange is in a different spot.
-
I have my next header narrowed down to a Star Road or a Spirit Garage. I want bigger and equal length. I currently have a new style fujitsubo.

I am running full sequential. Hoke crank trigger and jeep cas with a haltech elite 750 ecu

I used RB coils. lots of guys have used LS or ford coils. RB is a stronger coil then the LS unless you buy the AEM version

So neat looking

I have no clue, I am not doing the work. I believe he leaves the seats in, then replaces at the end.

More porting updates. now time to pick valves
-
My engine builder/ fellow Z nerd has started porting my Prestine e31. That I also vapor blasted. This will be my head for my stroker build.
-
No I didn’t. I have new motor mounts. Maybe that helped? It was tricky. But slid on.
-
Powder coated pan is in. Wow what a pain to do on my back under the car. I need a lift! I did just past snug 3x around with a 1/4 ratchet. Hopefully she doesn’t leak.
-
You can pull the pan without pulling the motor.
-
Pull the pan off, I didn't do that right away. Mine sat from the late 70s till 2 years ago (39 ish years). I pulled the pan last week, and it had crazy sludge in the bottom. So I have been driving around with nasty sludge.
-
Those tools like very neat! Someday I might paint this car, but I would rather not. Thank you for the compliment. It's been a fun project. I really like working on the Z.
-
Now that is neat! I found out about TFC when I got a set of ztheraphy carbs. I was impressed by the zinc. So I emailed them and asked who the shop was. They are usually pretty fast as well. Most zinc shops are slow and smaller batches aren’t important.
-
I think I have used 4 shops over the years. Most are the same. I currently loving TFC in Oregon. Prep is key.
-
No I don't plate at home. I send it off, zinc is cheap to have done. I have been sending car parts off to zinc for a while now. I found a shop I like and just ship them boxes of parts. Works great.
-
Well the original oil pan seal finally died. So I pulled the pan, zinc’d the pan bolts and powder coated the outside of the pan. The inside black material is pretty good condition. It’s come off a little at the edges. Now to get it on without too many scratches.
-
The ebay wire loop style clamps work well and look fairly accurate.
-
Interesting fact. My late series 1 has a attachment for the hand throttle on the pedal, but doesn't have the mount for the cable.
