Easy Slider z32 missile

[anti.engineered]

just reread this thread and caught up since joining.

what you do is really inspiring man. i'm just starting out with fab work on my Z32 and stuff like this gives me something to aspire to.

Love unnecessary detail.

I can totally relate to that!

Love the unnecessary detail you got going on here!

A little bit of a random update

Found some way back in the day pics of when I pulled the N/A engine out and bought a wrecked donor



This thing got rocked hard



Mmmm brown and tan interior just wonderful...



Back when I was like "what ever high school you suck"



Day dreaming about all the people making fun of my red valve covers



"Sup bae wanna come over", "No"









Right here I am like "fuck ya!"



Its in this exact moment I realized I accidentally put the old N/A motor back in



Wish I had more pics of all the work but I really didn't care to document back then, and yes these were all taken on a disposable camera


Anyways back to the cool stuff, I never posted the charge tubing brace all finished and welded



Drivers side had a little bit of a change but nothing to noticeable





I also finished the catch can brace

Thread setters are genius little tools



you drill a hole for the appropriate thread insert and set the tool into position squeeze the handle and just like that you have an instant anchor anywhere you please



Machined / threaded some brass hex bar stock, turned some 1" aluminum bar and utilized some 1/4" stainless rod





On to the venturi system

Here is the -an lines for the valve covers run, the lower red fittings are -10 and these will be the venturi ports



The business end of the venturi



Bung hole to be welded



Bung hole, hole



Final resting place

[meech]

so that is going to create vacuum from the exhaust? not to sure what a Venturi system is

I absolutely love your fabrication work every time I see this=) Nutserts/rivnuts are incredible. I used them on parts of my compact.

Basically it creates a vacuum on the internals of the engine through the valve cover pcv ports, reduces positive crankcase pressure and can give a bit of a power increase but nothing worth writing home about.

I think I like tools just as much if not more than cars.

Everytime I see an update our your thread I must admit I get a little excited
"What awesome idea has hes constructed this time!"

[EasySpeed*Inc]

With great heat comes great heat responsibilities, so I am making a heat shield

Starting with the mounting points on the crossover tube





This is kind of a specific problem solver but if you don't have a 4 jaw chuck and find yourself needing to chuck a piece of 3/8" stainless square stock then a cheap deep socket will be all you need



Obviously it has many limits and is nothing more than a quick fix but dammit it worked flawlessly



I simply needed a hole



Threaded the squares



Clamped these little guys to the crossover tube and weld



Stop reading this and buy these Kant Twist clamps right now, by far the most used tool next to my own hands, yes they are expensive and no do not buy cheap ones, you can thank me later when you are surrounded by ladies that heard you bought them



Sheet of .065 aluminum I will be using to cut the necessary pieces



Holding in this old school vise to square up sides and deburr



Also buy one of these if you can, they are cheap and built to last forever apparently since mine is at the very least a 100 years old



One of many peices



Round stock of delrin to create the bend





Now repeat a bunch of times and you get this weird looking creature







If your phobic of centipedes then you will **** this



A little bit of elbow grease and scuff pad





Rivets!!





Reminds me of a suit of armor and thats kind of where I got the idea









That is how you make a centipede/armor/heat shield, it will known as the Heat Armorpede

[dc4dave]

Pure Awesomeness dude

[philohlean]

As someone who is not particularly gifted with fabrication, I am awestruck by your work every time. Keep up the stellar work!

[DER E30]

OMG that is so kool!!! Every update one-ups the last!!!

[3EyedGoat]

centipedes, pie cuts and that turbo set up is cool

[AllGo'N'Show]

Not sure how I missed this before! Great job, love your attention to the little details, sub'd for more!

[loekaaz]

Now not so sure anymore what the meaning is of me living in this world. Stunning.
