How she sits today with my Z

Thanks for looking!

 

Wow. Really really nice, the Z too!
OEM Window Visors? didn't use all the mounting hardware right?

 

Love it!!!...in for my pics

 

That thing looks tough,
good job

 

yes


Updated Engine Bay



I'm planning to paint the cf hood. What do you guys think?

 

You charlatan this is an Isuzu Gemini build!!
Kidding, kidding I know they're the same. Is that hood modified or is it built one piece like that? the scoop looks odd. What's the info on the internals of the motor? So clean so clean!

 

dam..clean as fawk..i wouldnt paint the hood

 

Id still take the Isuzu badge off and put on a H.
nice looking!

 

real clean.

 

Thanks man! The hood is modified its just a plain cf hood before but since i 'm having heat issues on the bay we've cut it and put some hood scoop for k20 engine and installed it on reverse

Engine Specs:
Forged Toyota Pistons (Fab)
Crower Valves/Valvesprings
Eagle Rods
Exedy Twin Plate
Stock Cams (B18C-R)
HKS Camgears

Thanks everyone for your inputs.

 

The hood isnt a zero pressure area, but putting a bigger scoop in the right way would of yielded you better results... Heat rises....

We see this all the time with boosted track cars.
Some like to raise up the hinges to get the back of the hood sitting a little higher, doesnt help much either, because the hood area near the windshield is a near zero pressure area.
Not much air moving there.
I cant identify the scoop you have, but Afterhours automotive in california makes the best honda hood duct systems out there.

Here is the scoop

^^thanks. Nice touch on the hood scoop. I would do it like that if there's some shop here that does like that. The scoop is almost the same although the opening is in reverse since my scoop sits on top of the cf hood.

 

I think you'll have better cooling if you did it like that.
Keep in mind because you are boosted your temps will always be higher.
You'll have to invent more ways to cool.

 

I really like the color of your car...one question though when you did the domain conversion did you have to replace your rad support?

 

Clean build, love it but that turbo is really laggy and TQ should be higher. You may want to look into a different turbo like a Silver Surfer or Reaper from TheShodan that will have much better response and a better TQ curve. Unless you wanted an all top end motor. It wants to keep making power too past 9K it looks like.
Get that Isuzu crap logo off the front of the grill.
