For anyone keen on seeing what the vq30det looks like in a zed

There was a few in my big thread, but Photodump is down at the moment

I'll rehost them and put them up here soon.

It's pretty simple though. It just tee's into the outlet from your remote filter with the electric valve and pressure switch.

 

Oh cool as i might look into that then. cheers ay.
would a larger cap sump or that be better?

 

Both if you can, mine takes 6L+ now

 

Yeh the more sump capacity the better, when the engine is running there is a lot of oil in circulation and draining down from the heads etc. So its best to keep the level in the sump high at all times, which takes capacity.

Oh and you get an A+ for keeping at this

 

yea my goal was for 5L that way its easer for oil changes. 6L is massive.
but good.

 

Magic Chris!

If you need a hand let me know and I'll be around in a flash.

 

Awesome appreciate it Dave cheers.

 

Firstly nice work M8.

Hijacking but relevant here, on an engineering note.
When doing this kind of major modification such as fabricating a structural member with a view to legality, its often not much use doing the entire job and THEN "having it engineered".
The system is to put in a detailed PROPOSAL of your mods and then let the engineers decide what alterations (if any) are to be made to the design of, say in this case, a crossmember.
Once this has been approved, fabricate away and then its a simple matter of presenting the car to be "engineered" where they will just look for quality and integrity in the fabrication. Simply just make sure it was "done right"

Doing the mods/changes first and then going for engineering is pretty much "putting the cart before the horse" and can result in many tears and hours of frustrating changes.
In this case EZZUPTURBO has pulled it and done it by choice but a lot of time and energy could have been saved by getting the engineering procedure right in the first place.
Its a mistake many a modifier has run into which can create a shiteload of work re-doing things to suite a pedantic engineer.

Impressive work tho M8 *salutes*!!

I remember a few years back when a bottle of johnnie Walker black use to help with getting the engineering side of things passed

 

:thumbup::thumbup:

 

ah ya learn by ya mistakes dont ya. next time i do something like this ill get a bottle of jack and smack it around the back of my head and tell my self to stop being a silly c@#T and just drive the car how it is. ive got a good friend whos a mechanical, structural and automotive engineer to but he couldnt point at where sparkplugs go to save his life (what us fabbies call a paper engineer). but he can do large trig calcs in his head... he was saying because i chopped it after the engine mounts it would be easyer to engineer. i did do drawings for him in solidworks he liked the drawing but they looked nothing like i made. that was just a trial and error joby oh well it kinda works now, lets just hope i can get enough oil in there

 

Ahhhh wellllllll not such a mistake as an oversight Id reckon!
still a mighty job M8 and hats tipped for the effort to get it righter!!!!!!!!

More plenum pics




Are trumpets cool or what

 

Kewl!

I take it you are fully welding the otherside of the trumpets?

What are you doing for injectors? Top feeds mounted on top of the runners?

 

Fuel rail off in that pic.
Yea fully welded when i weld runners on. waiting to get then back from benders.

using sidefeed 750cc stock rail thats modded.(drilled out with larger fittings) dual in an out setup.
