it has dual scoops cut into it (one per side) for the factory airboxes - forward thinking, for when I get around to designing/having an airbox made. For the time being though, will just give equalized air to either half of the ITB's.

 

that's right, i forgot about that

 

Damn nice build so far. This thread is awesome.

 

Adam please tell me that is not your 280 being used as a work bench in those photos. after all it is arguably the better of the two Z's .

 

yes that is my 280 - only plastic parts on there, won't do any harm, especially considering the car is going in for new paint at some point.

the new rad support is in...I'll post pics and details on what is needed tomorrow

 

I hope you are going to go single color on the 280. I can't stand two tone or pinstriping!

I always love the invisible minor mods that make things individual. very cool man!

 

no way...that was the original color scheme and I really like it

 

awwww not my car though

 

I saw the NSX ITB setup on the blog and thought it was yours for a second. That was just mean.

 

lololol - I wish! That airbox was SICK though

 

Offtopic, have you heard good things about the 380RS gas pedal? Looks like it could really help.

Have you talked to/read about the Rebello racing engines? I read about em and it made me think of this thread.

heres a link http://www.rebelloracing.com/enginebuild.htm

they offer naturally aspirated VQ35DER's that make 440 bhp unrestricted naturally aspirated.

 

I know of them well, yes, and they do some great work - but I have my own builder and prefer not to deal cross country with something as crucial as my engine I also don't want a race only motor. Despite all the work I've done, I still drive the car 10k miles or so a year, and I want it and expect it to be reliable, and civil during normal driving.

 

woot 777 replies before I ruin it with this one.

Any eta on the ITBs getting fired up?

 

Been hectic here so I've been ignoring the car all week - though we did get the rad support swapped over. Hopefully very soon!
