What's up everyone? I just had my build completed this past week and figured I'd put some pictures up. This all started out with my clutch pedal sticking to the floor, cause a bearing broke. I was quoted a decent amount for labor, so instead wasting money on that, I figured I'd waste money on a 5.7L build! It was gonna happen eventually anyways.

A few months later after taking time to order parts and find good deals, I have an N/A Z with 406 whp and 375 wtq.

I went with the Sikky engine mount kit and their 1 7/8 Longtube headers. Also Got a set of polished Heads and massive Cam. I probably could have squeezed out another 20 hp with an aftermarket Intake manifold, but I already spent wat too much money. And didn't think it would be that much difference since my car weighs less than 3000 pounds now.

I'll post up specs on everything added to the car probably tomorrow, so stayed tuned on that. Here are some pics, I'll add profile shots of the car when I get my suspension figured out. This is a drag car.




Battery relocation for weight distribution.

 

dude we saw your car yesterday at xdc. and i was like, why the hell does that car sound like it has a v8 in it?

and then i saw it...

bad ASZ!!!!

whats next?

 

yeah that was sick.

 

SICK!! Another V8 swap!! Congrats man! Get some vids up or risk perma ban!!

 

Very nice. What happened to your single turbo red Z?

 

I will be calling you guys here sometime soon!! find out what the price range is for this swap!!

 

Lol yeah, That was my only like my 2nd time to drive it. I dont think there's been a day yet where someone doesnt look at me driving by like what the?!?!? haha

I might do FI sometime later, but I gotta get this thing finished first. Needs brakes and suspension. It's a drag car for sure though.

 

An old lady totalled me on the way to work. Sucks, but I got this one for only 11k. Wasn't gonna do the swap right away but my clutch pedal stuck to the floor cause of a broken bearing (110k miles). So I said fukk it. Unfortuntaley it is my first MT car, so I was still learning. Oh well, I'll just have to learn quicker now lol

 

hmm my clutch pedal is stuck on my g right now as well (broken pivot ball thing)....

this is not an option...

 

I was waiting for your thread holmes.. you should go drifting at MW on the 2nd.. I will be there ...I have to check out your ride dawg..

 

No drifting for me. I could try going though, but I know this weekend I'm going to the 1/8 mile track to practice launching. Not sure what day yet

 

Sorry to hear about the accident. I remember seeing your old Z out in front of my office awhile back. Anyways, the new Z is a beast!

 

I suggest you make some friends with domestics if you're going to drag race. It was a lonely 5 years for me when I was drag racing in TX. No matter, the Z/G guys are slow anyway.

Also, unless you're comfortable with driving a manual, I wouldn't suggest you go drag racing. Things can go wrong real quick if you're not careful. You just got this set up. You really don't want to pay for new axles, new tranny, new clutch, etc, right?

 

^ it's true, we are all slow.

 

Wow..finally! I was wondering when i would get to see the Beast...looks good bro...now u just need that Stance suspension u want..are u still gonna do it? or u looking at other stuff now..?

 

just let us know when
