Stony Posted December 5, 2007 Report Share Posted December 5, 2007 Well its sounds like alot of you may know about hybridz. here is my rb Z drag car project The red Z project has pretty much come to an end. BUT The RB26 Z drag car has not. I found a really nice chassis on racingjunk.com here are some initial pics of the car first couple are of the car at the track with a V-8. After that are pics of the car at my house during tear down. The engine compartment will basically get striped of all brackets and smoothed. Then my engine installed and all new brackets for the stuff for teh rb will be installed then the engine bay will get painted. Its going to be slow going initially but by december i hope to have the car running. So here are some of the initial pics. the checkerboard paint will be replaced with the same red as my first car. Ok all the plumbing is done now, my converter came in today.... So come dec 12th i will be tearing this things apart one more time for one last look over before final assy. Dosnt look as good as Ripz but im happy with it. Quote Link to comment
Stony Posted December 5, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2007 All its lacking now is a fuel cell ( in work) and wiring the entire car. Its basically a race car that is being modded for the street :> Quote Link to comment

Stony Posted December 5, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2007 The red car was pulled from the chassis builder because it was in the shop for 4 years. Never completed and i wanted to race BAD!!!!! The red car shell is for sale but the bad thing is im up in alaska. Good thing is i believe it is priced fair and could be shipped to the lower 48 for less then it would cost to build it to it's current state. Before the build i spent big bux on getting all rust removed and painted. 5k is the asking price. If i dont sell it i will bring it with me when i move ( USAF) and try to finish it. So if there is anyone interested shoot me an email. Stony7@gci.net Quote Link to comment

Stony Posted January 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2008 Wow the wiring looks like crap didnt realize that just looking at it. :blink: Quote Link to comment
Bleach Posted January 20, 2008 Report Share Posted January 20, 2008 I'd like that engine in my Z :D very nice buildup. Quote Link to comment
tiltnose510 Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 Wow the wiring looks like crap didnt realize that just looking at it. :blink: Well, we all know how that goes. Do the work for weeks and every critic comes by and says "You really need to clean that wiring up" and you just kind of stare at them like they need to go stand on the railroad tracks for a while.

Stony Posted February 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2008 well the front clip is mounted minus the hood fasteners and some extra bracing. Hood off. Hood on. Hopefully with any luck we will have it on the dyno this weekend and have some numbers. Still have to wire up the gages and some other minor stuff but all in all the big stuff is done Quote Link to comment

Midnight Titan Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 Hey, Stony! I'm one the hybrid forums too. I'm Forcer over there, but I don't post much. I've seen your threads over there about your Z. Quote Link to comment
Stony Posted March 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2008 First I apologize for no video but here are the results of initial dyno tuning. First the SSA 60mm WG worked fine and held 22 PSI with no problem. The cheapo eBay intercooler kept the IAT @ less the 85F and the TIAL knockoff didn Quote Link to comment
tiltnose510 Posted March 7, 2008 Report Share Posted March 7, 2008 MMMMMMMMMMM,mmmmmmmm!!!! 600 HP..... You don't really need to be telling us these things. If you keep doing this the engine will abrubtly torn out of my car and built to similar specs. I DO NOT need that right now. Quote Link to comment
Stony Posted April 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2008 Put this together kinda sums everything up. I'm hoping to get my HG changed out in the next week or so and back on the dyno. Click on the pic to play the video Quote Link to comment
