Redoing the frame rails to gain 6" ground clearance over the factory floor pan. This will allow me to lower the car so so much:

Re: SVX Engine cooling "Again & Again"

I was way wrong regarding vapor coming out of the water at room temperature. You would need to pull about 14psi of vacuum before this would occur.

Re: SVX Engine cooling "Again & Again"

Its lowering the pressure to the point that the water is locally boil and introducing entrained air. I doubt it is sucking air past the hose clamp.

Re: Turbo EG33 Powered Datsun

The width is insufficient with the stock unibody to clear the EG33. This is not going to become a popular swap among the 240z-280z guys. This is a tough swap, but what the helll :)

Re: Turbo EG33 Powered Datsun

Here's the turbo I have lying around that might make its way onto the EG33 instead of the 2JZ. Its good for 1200hp (80mm inducer)

Re: Turbo EG33 Powered Datsun

Weight, Unique, Sound, Length, Height, COG.

I also have a 2JZ engine that I could put in this car. The EG is just cooler, lighter, and just weird.

Re: SVX Engine cooling "Again & Again"

I don't know if I follow. The pressure will decrease through the circuit as you move away from the water pump. If you are able to place the pressure sensor between the restriction and the pump, you...

Re: SVX Engine cooling "Again & Again"

We should not be reducing pump speed if we can help it. It is proven that this pump geometry can do just fine at high rpms in EJ applications. It should be no difference in our EG33 application. We...

Re: Individual Throttle Bodies.

These are suprisingly affordable :) the most expensive portion is the velocity stack on top :). I'm going to need some big cams to take advantage of these :)

Re: SVX Engine cooling "Again & Again"

The pressure differential is driving fluid flow. As long is there is a pressure drop, there will be flow as the high pressure water does not want to be high pressure and travels through the system so...
