Datsun 240Z with a Wolf V500 running with an exhaust (Prev with open headers) still needs a tune!

Got around to connecting the exhaust system up so now I can rev without shaking my garage to pieces. Just a temp L24 till the "healthy" L24 gets built and installed. Can't have a zed in a garage not being driven!

Sweet as!

You tagged "tits" in this, I think I missed them....

[Zedman260]

I must have been thinking about them...

Damn so you made 270whp on L24 with ITBs and this distributorless setup? I'm definitely interested. God I love NA...

My hats off to you sir.

@Neubs260 this car is the tits...

Thanks.. I sourced the NA RB from a local wrecker..cost around $600 from memory. I know for the money, an RB25DET would get more power but if you don't want a turbo and love induction noise, then a NA is the only way to go. Just have to change the cams and make your own triple manifold, and it should howl!

Where did you source the NA RB from? I went into Z-Car Garage in San Jose, CA and spoke to Rob (there are videos of Rob's lime green turbo RB 240Z around here somewhere) and they said that for the money and weight, an NA RB wasn't worth it and directed me toward a 2.8L swap (with the displacement upped to 3.1L). I'm still trying to find a clean '70-'72.5 240Z that hasn't been restored yet, and then I'll build it up. I just love these cars! You are lucky to own such a nice sample.

The reason was, the original matching number L24 was in a dis-assembled sorry state on my garage floor so I thought rather than spend a couple of thousand on the RB to get some decent Kw's, I thought build the L24 (2.7 liters now anyway) and run that engine instead. Missed the sound of a nice and healthy L series! I do highly recommend the NA RB though...lovely engine..

[speedydave]

I'm also curious why you removed the RB. Parts availability? Racing organization rules?

[Dolfiusss]

might i ask why you removed the RB in favor of the L24???
