Sad to hear. Thanks for keeping me updated. I'm not actively selling it so I'll probably have it for awhile. if, in several months I still have it, I might end up putting it on a Mighty Max for fun. Who knows?!

Contact me when you've got the money and desire.

ShaggyZ

The bell housing has been sold.

EVO XIII turbocharger is still available.

ShaggyZ

Everything is sold except the Bill Housing and the EVO VIII turbo and exhaust manifold with aftermarket O2 housing.

Prices updated:
$350 shipped for the Bill Housing
$275 shipped for the turbo and manifold

ShaggyZ

You could buy some parts off me, if you like. You could just buy the head and some parts and drop them on your Mighty Max engine.

I've been having trouble deciding if I wanna do the RWD 4G63 swap into my Z and times are tough. To help me decide, I'm going to offer up the parts I have for sale and see what happens. I'm open to offers as I'm not looking to scalp anyone, but please don't low-ball me. I haven't researched the ...

I have need to move the exhaust manifold out a little bit and would like some input on using a 1/2" steel (or stainless) flange from Road Race Engineering or someone else.

I intend to have a sandwich arrangement of two exhaust manifold gaskets :: manifold -> gasket -> flange -> gasket -> head ...

ShaggyZ

I don't mean to be a Debbie downer ;), but that is a terrible design and certainly not worth the money. I MIGHT be willing to pay $75 for something like that, but I just assume spend $150 on modifying a stock intake correctly which might flow better and will definitely flow evenly across the ...

ShaggyZ

I should take a picture but I'm at work right and am motivated to post now.

It's in good shape except I part of the sheathing of one or two wires got stripped some during removal so they should be recovered (electrical tape would be fine).

ShaggyZ

Bill sent it to me awhile back but I got in a pretty bad motorcycle accident that nearly destroyed my left wrist. I've had my 4G63-into-a-280Z project on hold ever since. Plus, I got married and now we're pregnant.

Sad I didn't get to even take the bellhousing out of the box it shipped in; but I ...

I scanned that thread before posting this thread and I don't see anything about the auto driveshafts. Just a lot of discussion about custom driveshafts.

ShaggyZ

:idea: I've received indications after doing a Google sweep (mostly focused on supraforums) that the slip-yokes of auto-trannied, 7MGE engined cars and auto-trannied 2JZ-GE cars are compatible with the tail of the R154 without modification.

The only complaints guys were having about the auto ...

ShaggyZ

the very best way to make sure a turbo cools is with a Oil Accumulator, you set it up so it collects oil during engine operation and when you shut the key off it bleeds oil into the turbo bearing inlet .

the problem is , you have a turbo spinning at 15000 RPMs and you shut off the engine, well ...

Holy crap! That's awesome. That's probably the heaviest thing to go into a flat-rate!

ShaggyZ

thanks Bill. I was just thinking out loud I guess. Mits knows what they are doing. Sure, they know what they're doing and I've always been a strong advocate of water cooling turbochargers that were designed as such; but there are turbocharger designers/manufacturers that know what they're doing, as ...

ShaggyZ

there is no problem with the oiling, that engine came from the factory with that tilt, its set up axactly the way it should be I'm gathering from his explanation that his engine is not sitting at the factory tilt.
I think it looks cool and I agree with mounting engines at factory tilt, but that ...

It sure does.. and it'll look cool when he has massive engine failure due to improper oiling

ShaggyZ

great looking car and motor. I 've seen on another board (that I won't mention for respect to DJ) a twin turbo 1g rx7. the thing looks amazing,but cramped for space in the engine compartment. Have you guys been in a hole somewhere?! Those first generation RX7's have probably seen more engine swaps ...

ShaggyZ

I think this thermostat info is GREAT to have around. The more options the better. if it fits without moving the engine forward at all, then I'm all for it! Ontop that, if I go out the rear, I can clean up the front of the engine. I'm thinking about fiberglassing the timing cover so there are no ...

S0LJAH wrote:dont think it would work with people running highmount turbos anyway, which i am

Why not? It would be easy enough to just route the water line under the manifold or to the other side of the engine.

ShaggyZ

if thats the case the 1.8 sohc galant housing might be better i dont think it has the radiator cap on it so you can use the fill on the radiator True, unless the top of your radiator is lower than the housing. I expect most people would want the pressure cap on the thermostat housing.

Thanks for ...

ShaggyZ

Make offers? I need this stuff gone! Eh... where are you located? I'm not particularly interested or in need but, if the price can be made right and you happen to be somehow close to where I am or will be traveling through soon, then I might consider it.

Vague, I know... but I'm trying to help you ...

ShaggyZ

Looks good. I've been thinking about doing the same thing but I'll probably do it with a cast manifold instead.

Why did you extend the runners?

ShaggyZ

why hasnt anybody built a plenum like a hedder, only in reverse? why does the plenum have to be placed in a way the air has to bend at a 90 degree angle? isnt that just for packaging in a FWd set up? I've been wondering that myself, Bill. So many foiks are willing to make dirty exhaust manifolds or ...

You cut and flip any of them

on average, the kit wieghs 20 lbs, shipping prices are all over the board, I ship to British Columbia, its 20.00 bucks, I ship to Austin texas, its $50.00 bucks, I think its the price of fuel that makes it jump around so much

what do you think of the housing Turbo Shag?

Actually, I haven't been ...

ShaggyZ

I saw a picture of a Tiburon intake and the flange generally looks similar but the bolts holes were in different positions. Perhaps I saw a another intake.

I sure hope I'm wrong and it's something we can use, though.

ShaggyZ

I'm being a little lazy by not going back through the thread to see if this has been suggested before...

Why not put the block-off plate at the back of the head, then tap a 1/4"-1/2" 90° nipple into it to allow some flow out the back? It seems like this would be a decent fail-safe and likely ...

ShaggyZ

I find those compression readings strange, as well. I've never done a compression test on a fresh-ring motor, but in my experience with well-broken in motors (~150k miles) the difference between hot and cold numbers weren't as far off as yours.

If I'd gotten those numbers, I'd first think that ...

ShaggyZ

Bill, would you give me an explicit explanation of where you are in regards to selling the stock you have now (the ten you got back from the mold shop recently).

I thought you were starting to sell them as you prepped them (drilled holes, etc) but after some of your posts and the comments of a few ...

ShaggyZ

Once I get an affirmation that the head-flow-reversal works fine from more than one person (and works correctly, as if it were OEM) then I'd be willing to do it myself. I guess I"m hoping for a thread here all about it where even just one person says "yes it works great and here's how." Eric (BMW ...

ShaggyZ

Lookin' very cool, Bill. Thanks for all the quality updates you do. I'm getting very excited about purchasing one.

Do you intend to test fit all the bellhousings before sending them out? I imagine you know a bit about quality control but I thought I'd ask.

Josh

Ever notice that BH can equal ...

ShaggyZ

Your point is well taken shaggy guy, the design of the plenum is not going to make the difference of a world beater vs a grocery getter. I would rather think its and excersise in learning. just pushing the design envelope.
A lot can be learned from the furnace industry, every home ( here) has a ...

ShaggyZ

In the beginning, the word on "forced induction" motors was that the intake design wasn't especially important during in-boost situations. Particularly so if a surge tank was used.
The turbo gear heads seemed to have recently realized that forced induction motors really don't behave much differently ...

ShaggyZ

Shaggy,

Are you familiar with the R154 at all? It can handle 600 hp easily. I don't know what your power goals are but don't knock it until you try it. What is the reason you do not want a Toyota tranny?

And also you guys gotta stop the you want this or that transmission. Your gonna have Bill ...

ShaggyZ

I know the SBC motors all have the same pattern. Actually, that's why I asked if it was just by coincidence (poorly phrased, though).

If I could have a T5 (even a T56) versus a Toyota tranny, I would be willing to pay quite a bit more if necessary. It would be more expensive at first to have a T56 ...

HMMMMMMMMM, why not run a compound turbo set up? i know this is mainly on deisel engines but i'm pretty sure it can be done on a 4 cyl. gas burner, AND produce just as much if not more than suppercharger or even a larger turbo.
