Chamber size around 39cc ?

N-33 intakes for SU carbs should bolt right up to your E-88 HEAD.

Like to see the numbers replacing that n42 block with a 54 flat top block. Very good numbers!!

Doing junior days at Wisconsin and Michigan ----really son, we need to talk

My son I'd considering michigan for college. I pointed out to him how much you guys got this year and asked him to please pick a warmer college for his parents to visit;)

One more round and hopefully good weather. I've resorted to watching my own you tube video so I can enjoy my car WITHOUT being able to drive it.

The ceramic coating is pretty effective in reducing heat so you can probably forgoe the sheild, IMHO

It would be too hard to call with all the undercoating on there. The floors look pretty solid. I was expecting to see holes by your description. Start scrapping!!

All I can say is that's good head

Thanks Lenny, I'm just posting this install to give the folks here some general knowledge of aftermarket ECU and the work involved. I'm gathering you saw my thread at Hybridz-MS3X install. Long way from yet so i might be needing some advice. Just now to the point to get my laptop to talk to my ECU. I think what you are doing is very impressive-keep up the good work!!

Try Daniel Stern( yep, the actor) lighting, he is a dealer and a nice guy . That's where I bought mine

Thanks Bo, I have a thread started over there now and have been getting help. Not many starting from ground zero, but the theory is all the same. Yes I LOVE my Mikunis, but ready for this century grass roots motoring. I have to finish my plenum first to get to fuel .

Len, I think I have one from a 83 NA if you want to borrow.

RX-7 pump 39$ quiet!!!

Just so you guys know I have been doing something besides being a smart arse on the forums here I have been installing an aftermarket ECU called Megasquirt on my 71. Why you ask, because it's always been about the learning experience for me and the challenges that brings. I enjoy the L series engine and I have done the SU thing, and now the triple carb route, now I want to indulge into performance FI. Maybe-eventually-turbo charging. I am having way too much fun with the NA motor for now, and I would like to FI my L24 and save my pennies for a Rebello. I am going to do this in baby steps so i can still enjoy my ride. This crappy winter has forced the Z indoors, but has allowed time to get one of the biggest steps started on the venture. My goal is to get the ECU wired into the car and running my ignition only. The way I am doing this I will be able to have 2 ignition systems on the car, the original dizzy and a Coil on Plug set up as well. First things first. I bought ready to go ECU and harnesses from DIY. You can buy kits and save a few bucks, but that's more soldering then I want to do and more things to screw up. All this stuff is supported by some great forums and internet manuals to walk you thru everything--BUT--be prepared to study every chance you get. I knew nothing about FI or ECU's and bought a book by Matt Cramer that is about performance FI just to give me a staring point. Depending on your background, this could be a steep learning curve, but very doable with a basic knowledge of mechanics. If anything, this kind of project will force you to be a better mechanic or at least a more knowledgable one! I really appreciate Zfuel in his effort, now I have a better understanding of what he is trying to accomplish. My project maybe a bit different then other that have done MS(megasquirt) in that I am starting with a 1971 model that had no existing FI attributes-a clean slate if you will. Maybe be better or worse then having a FI model. Instead of tracing down old wires and sensors, I am installing all new. Actually, I parted out a 83zxt years ago and kept the main harness and I have been picking stuff off of it for some parts of my build. Besides the initial cost of the ECU and harness, there isn't a lot of cost after that. Sensors and relays are cheap and can be swiped off of junk cars. A good soldering iron and assorted wire terminals, electrical tape and some additional wire and your ready to start. For me it took a long time just to sort out how I was going to run the wires and where to put the ECU-and study, study, study. to be continued..... I was going to add pics but that's not working as of now

That's the way I am wiring my megasquirt ECU now. The (FI)sensors all use the same ground wire(reference) and are tied together at the ECU--which in turn is grounded to the engine block.

Smart guy to keep it a rolling project. Too many Z's don't get finished because the project drags out too long without any fun driving time. Keeping stock brakes in good repair should suffice. I don't think a "new' radiator is needed but taking it to a radiator shop to be flushed and pressure checked would be smart. Especially a 3 core datsun radiator flow REALLY well and will keep that motor cool. Kind of curious if Rebello specifies oil to use or oil with zinc or any othe additives? Hell yeah ENGINE PORN!! Stock ehaust?

Looks good Bo

Brake job for WHOA moments. Suspension up to the task of more power. Driveline in general----U-joints on all drive shafts. Any specs on the motor? CR and cam specs.

Charles, at the $ we are talking I might consider MS2. Then you have versitilty with FI also. Granted, the install will be more work. I'm not real familiar with Megajolt, so I don't have a direct answer for you.

If it's anything like my 96 Impreza, the steering feel is very good on their racks. Not overpowering -just an assist. I have considered that rack change myself. I have an extra front crossmember standing by just for that reason!

Wow- what can I add to that

You already broke forum rules by not including pictures in your first post ...only kidding- but let's see them welcome to CZCC
