merlin Posted December 29, 2010 Report Share Posted December 29, 2010 aaahh. i found a pre emmissions intake in my HOARD... it has 1.5 inch ports, but its an open runner design so i could make them 1.75 ports in about a minute with a hole saw or die grinder...its sticks out 7.25 inches from the head...

Sealik Posted December 29, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2010 come get it... its on the table on my front porch... freee! Might be able utilize that IM without leaning the engine too much. Use the stock bell housing....just raise the drivers side a smidge with a longer motor mount. And or a shorter MM on the passenger side. Quote Link to comment
merlin Posted December 29, 2010 Report Share Posted December 29, 2010 seriously , you can port these things out with a chainsaw file and a sharpie! I found an even shorter one... just need to go grab a 3/8ths swivel to get it off... even less width and less things to plug. i'll have it off by 9-30 Quote Link to comment
merlin Posted December 29, 2010 Report Share Posted December 29, 2010 i got the otehr one off... its exactly 7 inches to the ouside.. Quote Link to comment
Sealik Posted December 30, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2010 So....I through an old Z24 HG on the U67. Noticed there were 2 holes to cut out. Bit of a rush job... :D ....all of 5 mins.... but the results were better than expected. Was wondering on the casting on the inside of the head for a while, around the holes. Finally had a look, no burs or rough casting....that is good. The laminate trimmer is riding on a bearing, so the smoother the edge you are following, the better the results. Punched a small hole in the HG, just large enough to drop the trimmer in. Didn't have the gasket sitting quite as flat (crud on head) as I wanted and I punched the hole a little out of the area I wanted to cut out....but....not bad. Better next time....just a 'dry' run Next 2 holes came out better.....cut an extra hole in the bottom right, just because... :D Quote Link to comment
Sealik Posted December 31, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2010 Got the blocked stripped....ready for machinist. Just waiting for the IM/EM gasket to port the head and IM a little better. Cam has been shipped to Shadbolt. Picked up a couple of IMs from Merlin...(Thanks).....put my 2 piece Weber adapter on it. Shall grind and match the assembly to IM....and also remove the metal from the center of the IM throat. Quote Link to comment
Sealik Posted December 31, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2010 Grinded the ports to match intake gasket. Before...up to 1/8 inch in spots After.....lots of grinding A little more to do....but...looks pretty good. Used some double sided sticky tape to hold the new HG tighter against the head. Drilled a hole to plunge the flush cutting bit. 'Ran' the hole...clockwise....came out excellent. That crud around the hole is just the film on the HG...not metal. Rubs right off. Voila But....1 frost plug is of issue. Thought I could pound the 1 side in and rotate it enough to get a grip on it Negative...forgot about the cylinder behind it. Crap. Quote Link to comment

Sealik Posted January 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2011 Ground my way into the New Year :P Up to 3/16 in spots Should breath a little better. Also 'cleaned' out the throat Quote Link to comment
Sealik Posted January 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2011 Well.... this doesn't look good. Just noticed it....after I wiped the oil out of the cam tower. Fucken...a couple of deep 'scratches' Would assume that cam towers cannot be changed.....line bored from factory? Still be used/work...?............looks like something came out of the oil gallery....and then.... Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted January 3, 2011 Report Share Posted January 3, 2011 No worries Doug it's soft aluminum so any shit will embed in it and not bother the hardened cam. It'll be just fine. Quote Link to comment

That is good then. I'm thinking the cam might also have some grooves in it. Already shipped it. I'll phone Barry from Shadbolt. Mmmmmmmm.....soon as the pistons are here....maybe tomorrow....block and head are making a road trip :thumbup: Quote Link to comment
steve g Posted January 3, 2011 Report Share Posted January 3, 2011 yeah, dont worry about that.... wont hurt nothing Quote Link to comment
Sealik Posted January 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2011 Finally compared the Z22 and Z24 flywheel. Noticed the Z24 clutch app. will not fit the Z22. I see now....the Z24 has a larger mounting pattern. Bigger clutch and disc. I'll be mounting the Z24 flywheel on the LZ Mocked up the engine. Not much clearance between the IM and EM....heat shield no fittie. Will have to bash the exhaust pipe in about a 1/4 inch to clear. Going to mount/bend the dip stick in location shown Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted January 3, 2011 Report Share Posted January 3, 2011 Doug that's a 240mm f/w I bet. (do you have any 4X4s?) pretty sure the 4X4 were 240mm. Measure across the disc were pattern. Also if you flip them over some have more or less casting material and are heavier/lighter. 29 vs. 21 pounds. 21 pound 225mm 240mm (probably the same weight as the 225mm. Here's a 225mm without the extra weight cast into it. You can see it is flat on the engine side... 29 pounds. Doug this needs a heat shield. Grind away what you need for clearance. Use cereal box to make a template to wrap around the front, up under the carb bottom and out around the back runner. Use the two front manifold studs for the air filter tie down at the front and the throttle cable mount bolts in the rear, or drill and self tapping bolts. This is a prime candidate for a Maxwelhouse coffee can. :lol: and a hammer. . Quote Link to comment
Sealik Posted January 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2011 All 4x4 flywheels.....that's all I got.... :P Both weigh 21 lbs. The Z24 on left is a 240mm......which I have more of. The Z22 is a smidge under 230mm. Quote Link to comment

Sealik Posted January 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 Mike.....that is of the same... that you were looking for....the 6 bolt/240mm F/W.....? Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted January 4, 2011 Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 No. I have a 240mm f/w and was searching around for a high clamp force clutch to fit it. Was thinking the 240sx KA motor, maybe. Did find a 300zx TT with 850KG PP. Wow, but it's some oddball size. 250mm Found one for a FWD Maxima VQ30DE 240mm 580Kg.$119 dealer. Surely a 250mm would fit the 240 f/w surface. Have a machine shop move the dowels so the VQ35DE (350zx) 880Kg PP would bolt up. Only $165. Not sure if the 250mm clutch disc spline matches but you could probably run a 240mm disc???
