300zx questions

[howyodoin]

i have a 90 , 300zx with a na/tt conversion i had it tuned at z1 and had some goodies added. it dyno'd at 389hp and 397tq at 17 psi, was runing alittle lean so they turned the boost to 13.5 psi and made i think 340 and 350 or 360. so i was wondering what do you think this setup will run in the 1/4 .

[Maniaç]

My uncle has one too. He has every bolt on you can put on it except upgraded intercooler or turbos. Stock internals.

Back when he still has his stock down pipes, drive shaft, flyqwheel, and clutch. Running 14 pis. he ran a 13.0 @ 110 i think. Don't really remember his trap, but his time was 13.0. Wth no launch, he left the hole as he would on the street. lol. Z32's are know for their, horriable traction issues. What all do you have done to it?

[ash7]

Considering the Z32 weighs in at 3480lbs. dont' expect much with 340 to the wheels. I'd expect somewhere in the mid to low 13's. The gear ratios for the car are geared more torwards road racing, considering that's what it was designed for, but if you want to make a drag monster... the NA rear end has a somewhat shorter ratio than the TT. Try and find one at the Z1 junkyard. :)

i got a fully program'd ecu and , hard pipes , upgraded side mounts, and full exhaust. down pipe. test pipe. hks catback, rfl blow off vavles, blitz turbo timer, and some internal work. with some good griping falkens.

[ash7]

which ecu did you go with? Z1 custom tuned, JWT, Stillen? The JWT and Stillen both are notorious for running a program that's too rich. (at least they were when i had my Z32) If you're upping your boost from the stock 9lbs, then you def. need to upgrade your injectors. That's probably the main reason you're running lean at peak boost.

....are you on twinturbo.net by chance?

[howyodoin]

naw iam not on twinturbo.net . its z1 ecu. iam runing 13.5 psi and i am runin pretty good . having issues with the overheating, maybe a aintifreeze leak.

-jonathanwow, tt.net....hadn't heard anyone refer to that site in years! I just got back on it a little over a month ago after like a 4 year lapse, haha!

[NevrNufTorq]

mid 13's if you launch good but w/o some drag radials you might not have enough grip with the tires. few guys run out with me at steele and they're in the 11's. one mid and one low 11's but they both run th400 autos like me and they're both in the 500-600whp range. wouldve thought russell or john wouldve given you an idea of what it'd run while you were down there? we all grew up together

[Maniaç]

naw iam not on twinturbo.net . its z1 ecu. iam runing 13.5 psi and i am runin pretty good . having issues with the overheating, maybe a aintifreeze leak.Z32's and their problems, they never seem to stay in perfect condition. lol. My uncle had so many problems with it, its not even funny.

Even if it is a leak, its very hard to look or work on the VG. No fucking room in the engine bay ftl.

[ash7]

yeah, they sho-horned that engine underneath the hood, and cylinders 5 and 6 always run a little hotter because they're up agianst the firewall, and the water passages aren't big enough in the block to support a high gpm of water. (this is why Stillen blocks have ported waterways) ....

BUT

you should read up on tt.net... that's the place to go for info on your car man.

If you're system is full of coolant with no kind of serious leak, I bet your overheating issue has something to do with your fan clutch.

What did the entire set-up cost you? Did you stick with a stock TT engine and turbo's?

[speedminded]

What did the entire set-up cost you? Did you stick with a stock TT engine and turbo's?You can normally get then complete longblock with all components for under $4k, most of the swaps i've seen cost the owners not much more than $5k.

Right, but I'm talking about dropping it off at Z1 and picking it up when complete. I'm not asking about just the parts.

[speedminded]

Right, but I'm talking about dropping it off at Z1 and picking it up when complete. I'm not asking about just the parts.ah, at Z1, i was talking about the smaller shops around...Tiger did one i know of, a red 2+2 but can't remember the final cost.

-jonathan

He got an NA to TT swap. He already has the NA rear end in it. So that might also help shave a little off that 1/4 time. Not talking a whole lot but you will have more torque than most tt z32's

id say ur in the high 12's or low low 13's if u know how to drive

3,300lbs with a stock TT setup?! Goood luck getting that with slicks.IDK could be about that. Ive seen stock 300's run 13.4 before. You just REALLY got to know how to drive. And it is more like 3,800. Mine is like 39XX or something like that but mine is convertible.

It really is. New injectors a bigger intercooler and you would be in buisiness.

lol.... do u own a TT 300zx?.. i think not.. stock tt's can run 13's ALL DAY LONG with the mods he has and the NA rearend. if he knows how to drive and not like grandmother high 12's are easy and mid 12's if he can hook right and get a good 60. and all that is with some decent tires on the back

Better hope for a cool low humidity day/night with really good suspension with even better tires. A 300 crank hp 3,300-3,400lb (with not much torque)car isn't gonna make it in the 12's.

speedminded, you're a fucking idiot. Stop bringing up worthless facts, like they're supposed to back you up so you don't look like a fool.

Facts are one thing, but nothing is the same in real life. Some drivers are better then other, some can out drive others. Keep it real man, so are you saying that a 300zx on stock twin turbos "can not" hit low 13's, or even high 12's? You have to be kidding...

A 90 Z32 tt can run better then a 15. I can put money on that. Like i said, you don't know shit, til you test drive one. And take it to the track to test it. once again, stop using wortless facts to back up your pathetic agrument.

why dont you open up your eyes... i was responding to the thread starter and he had said .. how would i do in the 1/4th mile.. and thats what im responding to about the mid 12's to low 13's qtr time.. WITH HIS MOD'S NOT A STOCK Z32TT..

n onto stock z's stock TURBO z's will run about a 13.3-13.8 1/4th time

Stock TTZ (http://www.worldenterprises.org/videos/StockZ.mpeg)i'd say a trap speed of 99mph with the stock the power and torque of the Z would make that an 13.83 run but that's just me. The guy above said his uncle was 13.0x at 110...

[speedminded]

...gotta compare a vehicle with the exact same gearing, rearend, tire size, power and torque to tell for sure.

i know the c5 vette with over 750ft-lbs of torque was running within 1/100ths of a second of my bike but trapped 5-10 mph faster. I was always jealous :tongue:

And having actually owned a high horsepower Z32 for myself, i can say that he is mostly correct.

He has before.

Names Geovanny, and im the uncle is is talking about. And what did he say, to make himself sound like an idiot? I just don't see it, but everyone has their own way of looking at things.

its Gross vehicle weight a tt z weighs about 3400-3500

[Fairlady Z32]

i have a 90 , 300zx with a na/tt conversion i had it tuned at z1 and had some goodies added. it dyno'd at 389hp and 397tq at 17 psi, was runing alittle lean so they turned the boost to 13.5 psi and made i think 340 and 350 or 360. so i was wondering what do you think this setup will run in the 1/4 .With those numbers, Im going to say. low 13's to high 12's. Depending on how well you can drive your car.

I have recentally practiced launching my car, and if you rev it up to 2-3k and slip the clutch. It'll get out of the hole alot better. We have a very bad designed car, when it comes to 1/4. Practice and once you feel like you can get out decent enough, hit the track. good luck.

i got a fully program'd ecu and , hard pipes , upgraded side mounts, and full exhaust. down pipe. test pipe. hks catback, rfl blow off vavles, blitz turbo timer, and some internal work. with some good griping falkens.Back when I ran the 13.0 I had; turboback, intake, boost controller, driveshaft. Like Maniac said, I ran that time with no launch.

Now I have upgraded injectors, flywheel, clutch, crank pulley. Next mod is gonna be upgraded side mounts. Good luck building your fairlady.

i'm actually starting to have that same problem but i'm switching the turbos out in a week anyway so i'm not too worried about it anymore. you should put in the upgraded turbos man.

300zx is not a sleeper. I have people in older corvettes, turbo'd rx7's, supercharged mustangs and a shit load of other cars always asking me to race and when i tell them how slow my car is they have this puzzled look on their face. usually people know these cars came factory twin turbo's so when they see mine they are like "is that twin turbo". Guessing by that statement if they saw me take off fast as hell they would know it is.

[howyodoin]

mines kinda beat up looking man HAHA, so yeah it gets the sleeper part down.

But shit last night i smelt the gas again,,,,,,,,,,, THEN BAM Fuckin cracked or dry rotted fuel line and , it was a quick fix but shit.

[howyodoin]

and its not boosting all the way up , its goin to about 12 or 13psi at night tops when its cool but today in town it wouldnt go over 11 psi.

[howyodoin]

ahh fuck it,she is bascily dead in the water , i cant figure out where the leak is , its showin low oil pressure and antifreeze keeps running out wtf... help lol.

[Z32redondo]

Z1 Motorsports. If you want it fixed they can find it. A bit expensive but they know whats wrong with it. Been there a few times and from what i can tell they would kno. All they work on are these cars and they have probably dealt with this shit before. If you got it tuned there then I suggest that you go back and have them fix what is wron with it then re tune it.

[mogaffar]

if its dead in the water.. list the mods you have i may want to buy some parts offa you

[Professor X]

I have a friend who lives here in Georgia who has a 2+2 300zx with a jdm turbo swap. He has stock turbos, suspension, intercoolers, and cheap tires. I know that the boost has been increased but I believe the exhaust is stock. He runs consistent mid to low 13's at Silver Dollar in Reynolds. It definately can be done.

[howyodoin]

i talked with skyler at z1 , but i dont have the money or the time it would take to drive the car 20 miles stop wait 30 mins add water for a 105 mile 1 way trip.
