Here is a simple little map that should hopefully help you all get there...

10463 Grant Line Rd, Elk Grove, CA, 95624





We were trying to keep it as hidden as possible but seeing as it show's up on google map's it's kind of hard to keep it a secret....

Deja Vu? That's out in Rancho Cordova, i'll meet you out there after the meet

On a serious note though, that gave me a very good idea for another meet... the next meet will be held in Rancho Cordova at Deja Vu
Unfortunately only the 18+ crowd will be allowed inside of the building


Yep, right across the street from the John Deer dealer.

What color was the Z? There are only a handfull in town and very few of them carry the clean status.


( A 13BT isn't enough engine for a Z, not enough torque to make it go anywhere.... )

oh that Z is like located in the cal trans lot, you can't see it from the outside but I used to work at the fedex hub right next to it and I was like wtf :O

I was thinking of selling my fc and doing the 13bt swap in the Z for awhile, while I worked there but then I gave up on it

it's just a nice looking white Z just sitting there waiting for a 13bt swap, with everything almost intact but it does sit out in the rain =/ and had a lot of junk in the trunk

and wtf John Deer is right across the street haha, I can even see it on street view haha

the 13bt doesn't have the torque to move a 240z you need something with more power

OK? lol

I parted out my FC because the 13BT didn't have enough ball's for the amount of money that it would have cost me to rebuild it again. It has it's strong point's at time's but it just doesn't do it for me like a simple 350 small block chevy with 400 hp no power adder's necessary

Although when I am driving either the 348 spyder or the 993 turbo it's a little hard to keep my power goals for my other car's sane enough for the street


The 993 is getting 996 hybrid turbocharger's and a larger intercooler here pretty soon to bump the power up to around 550 or so from it's stock 400 which should be a blast.
( I cannot wait to buy this car from my friend, it just sit's in the shop all of the time except for when I take it for a spin every few weeks )

The z weighs less than the FC...so if my FC can rape most cars on the road, why can't my motor in a car that's about 500lbs less do it?

Btw cars getting tuned Monday. Seeing how much boost I can make with the 720/1000cc injector setup. I'm thinking I'll max them out around 13-15psi =/

If I keep my car it'll get some nice 1600s and 20psi of boost

I was just saying that that isn't enough for me, the 13BT is not capable of reaching a safe reliable hp and trq level that is worth the end cost. Let alone how badly they lack torque.... It's just fun to stir thing's up with you guy's in here from time to time as well

Hence why the twin turbo 993 with all wheel drive is getting larger turbochargers and an intercooler to add another 100-150 hp and trq to it and see if that's enough for a while.

The 348 spyder is next on my " need's more power ! " list once we fix the alfa spyder and some little thing's on the diablo.
300 hp V8 isn't enough, i'm still going through the option's and seeing what it's owner ( my friend ) would like to do as it is his car yet I drive it more than he ever has haha.
Possibly a supercharger or twin turbo, might even see what we can gain from it with a new intake box setup, set of dialed cam's and some good tuning. Another 50 or so hp and trq just might be enough for it to be considered a "fast" car. They are very conservatively tuned from the factory so unlocking another 50-80 hp/trq is quite possible. Then again he might sell it soon and get a 360 F1 spyder instead to make up for the lacking power haha.


So what kind of power are you aiming for?
If your still running that holset i'd say somewhere in the 400-500 range with that much boost and those size injectors.
