I think blocking off the heater core flow makes the most sense, then doing a custom plate/inlet for the bypass flow.
As you say, the bypass flow would be fine with a smallish hose as once it is hot it'll just open the t-stat and it'll have plenty of volume to flow at that point. I'm sure we all let our engines come up to temp before we put any load on them anyway, right??? Right???? |
Also, Spohn, if you get someone to make a custom plate for the inlet that takes it down to a single connection, let me know what it cost and who to contact to buy one...

Will do. It's simple and cheap.

Damnit wstar, now I'm paranoid. I'm going to buy some 8mm silicone line to bypass from the output on the coolant manifold to the input on the return pipe.
Jerk. :P |
Oh, my Wedge Engineering seat bracket finally came in.
It seems to be a solid piece made to the proper dimensions and specs. Took a while to come in, but I don't regret it. I like that it doesn't come pre-drilled, that way I can drill my own mount holes. It's also fairly heavy gauge steel, so I feel pretty confident that it'll be strong. There's also been a shift of priority in all of this that I haven't really mentioned here.... I'm going to get the car put back together, get my seat mounted and see if I can get the stock belt to work with the seat long enough to get it inspected, and if I feel like it's safe enough, street drive the car a little. The cage has been put on the back burner because of a couple of reasons:
Therefore I want to get the car running and drivable and then see where we are in a month or two on the cage situation. It sucks, but that's life. :) |

So I had some difficulties with the accessory drive belt.
Basically the belt I had bought that worked for Spohn didn't work for me due to the underdrive pulley: http://www.the370z.com/attachment.ph...1&d=1369319181 As you can see, it's way too loose. I found that this one appears to be satisfactory, though: http://www.the370z.com/attachment.ph...1&d=1369319181 It's only an inch shorter, but it makes all the difference. So now I've got this for sale, I guess, for someone who wants to delete their AC but doesn't have an underdrive pulley: http://www.the370z.com/attachment.ph...1&d=1369319318 |
Ordered:
Radiator Oil Catch Cans Green Filters (to replace crappy paper ones) AeroCatch Hood Pins Once that stuff gets in, I can work out the shopping list for my silicone hose order to get the coolant and vacuum lines squared away. |
Nice updates. That sucks about the cage builders being cagey. At least you'll be driving the Z again in some form. It's been quite a while since the beast prowled the streets

Nice as always. What catch cans did you get?
|
These ULTRA cheap 'Godspeed Racing' ones.
I'm thinking the hardware and hoses that they come with are probably garbage, which is why I'm already planning on using my own fasteners and silicone tubing. |
