How often do you really see the valve cover, though...?

I mean, I see mine almost every day it seems for one reason or another....

I think he was talking about the muffler

humblegumbo

I am sure he was. My point was that if he's not interested in a DP muffler because he won't see it much, then why the DP VC?

I actually do see my valve cover probably at least once a day as well for whatever reason, so I actually see it. I don't know, I guess I'm not saying theres a problem with the muffler but I just don't get down and admire my muffler daily, much less if its kinda stealthy

Back to the old show vs go debate then, eh?

My vote is always go over show, frankly. Then again, I've flat-blacked just about everything under the hood because I dig the way it looks & black is my favorite color.

Any Douglas Adams fans in here?

Oh man this weekend was pretty fun!
I didn't Dyno my car saturday, though.
But my buddy in his DC5 did, got a baseline run of 171whp/~126wtq.
Then around lunchtime we got to work on my 240sx project. We pulled the 4.3Vortec out of "spongebob" (1970-somethin Chevy Chevette lol... 1500 or so LBS with 210hp v6 = FUN)

I've got thursday-thru-tuesday off of school this week(end), so the plan is to trailer the 240sx back to my house and I'll get to work welding up all of the holes in the engine bay
Wire-tucks/shaving ftw! I'm excited! I've been looking forward to doing a full shave on something... and now's my chance.
FYI I'm pretty much decided on a Battleship Grey color scheme for it.

Terrance- Please feel free to post up all those pics you took this weekend!

-Andrew

Wow. Mega-post attack!

What where the numbers from the dyno on that pot-belly?

Well, I'm jealous as hell. Since my recent move, the nearest dyno is at least an hour away.......junkyard is 30-40min....& 1/4mi? Like three hours to Bakersfield....




Does that hunk o' S%@T from da' spongebob work?

Oh yes, very much so. It hadn't been cranked in almost 7 months.. The battery had even died in it.
Put a new battery in and it fired up on the first crank and idled. May not sound like much, but when you're dealing with a carburettor it's a pretty big thing.

And I am not joking when I say Spongebob raped my midley modified GT 5.0.. badly. So bad I lost concentration and missed third because this damn Chevette was spanking my 5.0. It's other race was an Lexus IS300. The poor guy was beaten so bad he didn't even stop he just kept on driving while his buddies (about 25 of em) were rolling.

13's are very feasable with traction in the 240sx and a definite with nitrous.

We'll make it look good. Don't worry. Nothing looks good right now, but we'll see what a TLC can do for it.

BTW Terrance, IDK If I'll be coming down there while I have my 'vacation' from school. I may be going out to Arizona for the entire time to do some work with my dad. IDK. I'll keep you posted

He's desperate and said he was open to offers

Hey man... Look at the IM in this pic you posted in muh thr3ad.



You see that IM? He had cut it apart so he could port the IM runners better.

Which, got me thinking.... That metal is fairly thick (over 3/16. easy). I could use the plasma cutter to cut open a IM and do the same thing, then have it welded back.

When you swap IM's on your b16.. Give it to me. I want to do it. I'd do it on my old GSR IM but it's pointless.

What I NEED is to get ahold of an aftermarket (Blox, AEBS, ect) and port that... Then re-sell it.

Hmmnn... Think I could do that and turn a profit?

daveholiday

you need to start doin some of this aftermarket shit and sellin it cuz there's stuff like that I'd definately buy

Depends on what kind of metal it is & how good a welder you are. It'd be counter-procutive to port the intake, & then have weld boogers hanging out on the inside. That is, if you're talking about steel. Welding other types of metal can get tricky. Aluminum, for example, requires totallt different setup.


Maybe if you started w/ junkyard stuff to keep initial cost down....

__________________

Andrew

Terrance doesnt weld, but works at a company that strictly welds aluminum fuel cells/tanks. So welding Aluminum isn't an issue.

Terrance, I'd read up on ENDYN's article on porting IM's. They cut down like 3 lbs of metal on an aftermarket S2!

Sorry for the delay, guys. I have today(thursday) through tuesday OFF school, so i'm working my butt off to buy new stuff.
Over the past few days I've done the following: (I'll get pics up sooner or later)
Tore apart a spare SI harness and started to re-do my wiretuck. I gutted the AC and fan assembly(behind the glovebox), so i've got plenty of room to work now.
I've also started on my valve cover. I got it off and ready to start sanding the letters off(yeah I'm gonna shave it) and paint it.

blah blah blah pics later.
