haha good point. :) just amagine though, one set of tools, all values are instantly obvious which is bigger/smaller than the next, no need for fractions etc. i can see however, how the advent of SI units would be just as annoying for someone in a country not using them as the primary unit.

off topic, but, i cant believe imperial measurement is still being used in a developed nation. what a horrendous form of measurement.

you're probably aware of this, but iv heard that some m90's you cant swap the pulleys. not sure if this is an issue, but might be worth checking out. i can see you're keen to keep the original computer, but going aftermarket could possibly save some hassle (and therefore cost?) in the long...

oh those little v8's are awesome. the smallest iv seen was made by washington state university for their formula sae car 'viking X' i think. im pretty sure its on youtube, or google it for heaps of photos. its about 500cc, and dohc, custom made with billet block and heads off a 250cc four...

keep us posted on this matt. im keen to see how it goes and how the supercharged engine on factory ecu compares to my na engine on aftermarket management. id also like to go supercharged one day, but like the idea of a vortech rather than an eaton.

ha woops. the first three letters of japanese. iv never head of it being an offensive word anywhere, especially on a forum based on a *** engine. my opinion on the japanese 'big block' thing is that there is no such thing. if there was though, the 1uz and q45 and 20b would be the 'big blocks'.

slightly off topic, but how come '***' gets censored out of posts?

damn there must be alot of cnc lathe time on one of those. are they alloy or steel? not the way id go about adding a pulley, but very nice none the less. and i amagine the above 'to dog' is a typo for 'top dog'

haha and check out the shiniest billet alloy radiator overflow tank i could find...(in above pic)

hi just to keep the thread rolling.... lol. this is how my setup looks now (ignore the pulley on the piss, it had just fallen off coz i didnt tighten it enough after polishing the alternator); http://i161.photobucket.com/albums/t218/340i/DSCF3240small.jpg the bottom alternator pivots off...

sorry what is igoogle?

2uzgte, is that what engine you'd like to build? as in turbo/s and ge heads? is that possible? or have i got my engine code breakdown wrong?

from what i could tell, there was two smaller radiators infront of the engine, behind the bumper.

yeah its nissan i know, but thought you guys might still enjoy it. the manifold is pretty crazy, sortof looks like a spider, and from a distance looks like a transverse engine. i looked at it for a while and couldnt believe how it fitted. every square inch of the engine bay was taken up...

its a bit of a sleeper. with the bonnet down it looked completely stock. even the interior with standard seats and shifter. it all looked very inconspicuous except for the rather large ATL fuel cell in the back... i seen it parked up at beach hop in whangamata over the weekend...

check out this; Nissan ? converted to VH41 quad cam v8, with nissan gti-r rear end. road legal in nz. apparently is quite fun to drive. i would beg to differ, i imagine it would be **** scary to drive.

drop down to nae nae and see brian howat at howat engineering (horlor st, around the corner from the new bunnings store). get the rest of the bits you need off here or trademe. theres a few guys selling gearbox bellhousings or adaptor plates, mounts, and stuff you need. use the search engine in...

get huge front disks and calipers and bin the booster altogether. hit two birds with one stone, if you will. :)
