bout time i jumped in. the 302 w is an awesome engine go the 347 kit it makes them honk ditch the tunnel ram it makes them pigs to drive at anything lower than 5000rpm. it will go far better with better throttle responce and a far more useable power range with a edelbrock victor single plane manifold or similar set up. the c4 is a good choice go to a 2500-3000 stall convertor and a stage 2 shift kit and youll wonder why you ever wanted a manual. dont forget the diff gears its pointless building a seemy drag motor and trans to kill it with 3.0 diff gears go to a 3.5 minimum or 4.11 for drags. the biggest thing is to NOT over cam the engine. choose a cam that matches the rest of the engine specs. my choice of specs = 347 stroker kit ,fully balanced, flat top 10.5-1 comp pistons. a cam of around 550 thou lift with no more than 250deg duration roller rockers and matching valve springs, port the heads for clean flow not max flow other wise youll kill the throttle responce.victor manifold and a demon 625 double pumper carb, go for an MSD dissy with a 6AL control box. this should give an easy 350-370hp thats nice to drive anywhere . this should do easy mid-low 12s if ya want to go qiker bolt on a 150hp nos kit.

225 rwhp. is that a vr4 motor ?

cheers ,when i built that car i think i was one of the first in nz to transplant the commy v6 even the local holden dealer couldnt help me with much . first started to do the job in late 92 and finished in late 93 . full rebuild on whole car took time and heaps of $ was finally redg and certed in early 95 drove it for 2 years without missing a beat then flicked it to buy house. if i still had it prolly have supercharger or twin turbo set up by now as kits are avail in aus now then it would have been scary

yup

the torrie set up was pretty easy as we used the stock ecu /intank pump etc so it was really only a case of plumbing a return line and wireing the computer and pump relays and fan etc

a mate of mine has a zc powered crx rally car has 160hp at wheels with only mild mods [hi comp pistons,cams ,pod ,exhaust ,ecu.] its an ex dave strong car and is fuckin qik wieghs about 750kg stripped and caged also has a lsd diff. goes extremly well and is f#&*in fast on shingle[me just about shat pants]

how hard would it be to set 2 of these throttle bodies up on my 351w ? what sort of ecu ? can u get a fuel only ecu? as i still have a dissy could 1 efi pump supply the 2 t/b. youve got my brain working now . i have set up an efi system b4 in my lc torana [3.8 v6] so could prolly do most of it my self

yeah there seemed to be alot of bullshit about using laser steeeing columns and such like . what bot arms have u used?

pics and story please!!!

here ya go man a step by step

go to the tech section

i see ya point but the same could be said for rotarys in every thing else. there aint anything old hat about the v8s comin from the land of the risin sun mate they are as advanced as any 4/6 . why do ya think that most of the stock cars are usin them now . theyre light,powerful and fuckin reliable they only thing they really lack is cubic inches and that can be made up for with forced induction if any thing straight 6s are old hat

look how popular the older silvias are. how many brand new or less than 2 years old ones do ya see? when did they start making the s15 shape 5 years ago? and no new model since . i think they are dying a slow death too

not sure who organising could be local hot rod club. definatly keen just depends on finances 120buck round trip in beast. was in lastest petrol head magmeet at supacheep in rangitaiki st at 630

yeah theres no doubt they do build a good product just a pity they cant ban fuckwits from drivin them nuff sed

has anyone been to one of these? always 2nd friday of month meeting at supacheep . was thinkin of goin down for dec one in couple of weeks

yeah imagine a twin turbo v8 GTR skyline or 350z or supra sick!. i always thought integras were for pullers anyway no great loss there. friends son has type r civic not too bad for a recycled sardine can

yup they dont any major panel beating just a couple of small dents the price was to totally strip ,straighten and rechrome. including frieght from hastings to gissy and back. a mate just got his 69 camaro ones done . they look like brand new ones that youd pay over a grand for.

just got a quote from gissy electroplaters of $600 each for the bumpers on my fairlane. these guys are prolly the best in nz most of nzs hotrodders get their chrome done by them

'sat in a Racetech 100 all the way to Auckland, and decided that would have been much nicer if it wasn't designed for Kate Moss.'

haha this is true ryan at work has them in his rx3 i only just fit[very uncomfortable] due to my ample ass and im only just bigger than the average joe[ no flaming sparkle u stick insect]

i went there last year on a hot rod run. you could spend all day there and NOT see everything saw that 60s corona coupe the last year and heaps of cortys mk1-2-3-4-5 some xw/y falcs and its amazing that rx3 shell is still there. in his house is about 6-8000 car models of all shapes and sizes fuckin amazin . he used to work at the dump when the dump stopped taking cars he said it was alright to put them at his place that was about 40 years ago. sparkle would have been barred up big time. he wasnt wrist racing behind the cars was he

i think those r just casting nos the ratio tag is normally on the filler bung

sorry guys no hotties

next one outside police station smoking doobie extra points

looking good mang! where did ya get ya pertronix from and how much was it ? want to get one for the fairlane i have been told they are very good and piss easy to install

it been a while but ithink all holleys are -8 same as the fittings on 4 barrel carbys

went to racecourse in hastings on fri for look and to 1st stage on sat morn with RSCORT got wet feet walking in [homo mashall] and all my photos were shit. gave the green falc the big thumbs up[cant do too many skids or go too fast] he gave me the thumbs up when i passed him going the other way on touring stage[me in fairlane]

i had a couple of pics of my torrie in street machine. 1 in readers rides and the other in the workshop section. was in june 97

heres a link http://www.cardomain.com/ride/741564 my mates all freaked out when they saw it. one who had just moved to brisbane rang me up b4 i had brought the mag and said 'sum cunt taken sum pics of ya car an stuck it in sm'
