Re: Smokin L series!

[sss510]

Ummm, the engine I dropped into my wagon last year on a nice long highway, playing with a WRX also did 7500 in 4th, for about 8 seconds, then the oil pressure light came on, I switched her off straight away, but that didn't help. Don't know the speed I was doing, but the needle was past 120 mp/h by lots, it was pointing straight down.   Threw a big end good and propper, also exploded the oil filter. Big lesson learnt that day.   That was with a 219 L16 block and 219 head, as far as I know was never touched internally. It had a 32/36 webber bolted to the factory manifold. Had a set of extractors, and 2 inch system.   Dropped the original, matching number L16 back into her since then, done a head gasket. She sat in the back yard for 8 months, then dropped the head Errol got for me onto her, after a freshen up, valve reset job, and new valve stem seals.   Havn't taken her past 100 mp/h since as that is fast enough to loose your licence for 12 months here in Perth, and to loose your car for 3 months with the new anti hoon laws.   Also spending time sorting out/enjoying the 910SSS at the moment.   Glad my L16 revs harder and faster than it does.   Havn't been able to push more than 5k out of her with 6 pounds of boost. Bit dissapointing really.   Rick White.       ----- Original Message ----- From: maldat To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, October 14, 2004 12:26 AM Subject: Re: Smokin L series! Errol, Something I have for got to say is the engine I have had made to put back in is bigger than what I had before the car came off the road for full rebuild.. Z24 crank and rods a flat tops..isnt what it had before.   Engine I was using at 7500Rpm in 4th (top) was a Jap L20BSSS block with a L16/18SSS A87 head (They are the same) ,A87 flywheel,locked dizzy,and the custom 40mm webbers and race headers as the pic's I have sent you before.. 3.7 diff ,, 195x60x14" ,, dont that work out to be about 147Mph?.at 7500Rpm..at 1:1..   I think I'm right as in also to say you have not seen a set of headers in ozzie like mine....They make a very big difference..4-1 long headers as most are short..I have four pipes going under the floor pan going into one under the feet of the passenger then 2" all the way..one muffler (little) right at the rear.   I'm hoping that the car goes faster with the Z24 stuff,,It will be coming out if it ant,,   I can get a VG30DETT complete with 5 speed for a $1000nz and thinking hard about it.(but thats losing the L buzz,which I dont really want to do)   A mate of mine has a 1965 ford with a 460 (factory) the 510 purly wasted him but that probley weighs 2 ton,,anther mate with a few harleys also owns a 68 camaro (plus 57 chev's and R/T chargers,jags plus more),,he was not keen for a race to the west coast for ownership papers of the camaro after going for a drive in my 510. I would love a 68 camaro.. I also know for a fact that ozzie made Holden Police cars are slow very slow in fact ,,easy to lose even on a straight road.. I also belive that my Nissan Leopard V8  is great for a family car ,,but I still think the 510 would blast it from the lights for sure and leave it in the hills.. I think I have sold the Leopard,,,I have a bank cheque from Scotland  ,,for a lot of money ,,Just hanging to see it if clears..A lot more than Chris told you a couple of years ago for sure..I think I told him about $20K, I have a cheque for what works out to be $69K NZ. I dont belive it that much as I still have it at work in the drawer ,,very nice to look at ,, thinking now ,,I should go to work get it and scan it...Anyone what a pic of the biggest cheque I've ever seen for a Nissan..   I should really bank it...  or send it back?? it is a nice car to drive...but it is a lot of money....but they only made 179 of them...Its a lot of money... ?????????????

Mal, At 8000 rpm with this combination, the friction loss from bearings and rings totals 67 hp and the pumping losses are an additional 32 hp. Piston speed is over 5000 ft/min. This type of engine is a dead loss over about 5700 rpm, mainly due to high piston speeds.   Cheers Feral Errol www.datrats.com.au         Z24 CRANK AND RODS WITH 89MM FLAT TOPS..   --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------
