nice truck though
boost doesn't flow, it fills. think about it. the only time airflow matters on a booster motor is for those few rpm's there's no boost

You truck could be painted homo rainbow but as long as it's boosted it coo. Nice setup.

any time air has to take a 90 degree turn in an enclosed space like intercooler pipeing its going to loose volocity (sp?) and disturb airflow and hamper the air mixing properly.. why do you think people try to keep any sever bends out of exhaust systems or intercooler pipeing most of the time? you almost never see a 90 degree bend like that, its all big smooth transitions for the purpose of minimizeing the disruption of air flow

it makes sense in my head but im sure i fucked up somewhere in the translation from my head to here and lost about 50% of any sense it made..

Nice setup dude...lovin the hardbody love Man i miss my 88 hardbody Oh, the dual spark plug holes you guys speak of is the Z24 motor...4 cylinders, 8 plugs. Supposedly made better power that way, or better gas mileage...one of the two. Not exactly sure which, I had a vg30 in mine

The Z series motors are nitourios for blowing headgaskets even in N/A, let alone boosted form, i was going to swap one into my 510 but decided not to after i found out about that little problem

VG30 was the next motor i was going to swap except i had a VG30DET, had it out of the donor car and ready to swap then wrecked it, pissed me off so i sold it all

never should have done that

i belive it was supposed to get better power from the dual spark plugs, i forgot which since it was a long time ago i did any research on them, probably over two years

My buddy's CA18ET in his '85 200SX has 8 spark plugs as well...infact that cylinder head looks identicle to a spare one that came with it. The turbo manifold looks exactly like his as well...interesting.
