[Fot] Neat link for figuring engine stats

[EDWARD BARNARD]

Listers: Since this summer I've been in the process of working on my now 17 y.o. son's first car, a '72 Datsun 240Z. First thing we did was pull the stock motor and tranny and installed a fuel injected '77 280Z motor and 5 speed. After that was running great we turbocharged it with a turbo from a Cummins Turbo Diesel. Not really the best choice but I picked that turbo because they can be had cheaply. After I got all my plumbing issues squared away I can dial in 12 lbs of boost and this things a rocket. I will admit that when this kicks in at 4000 rpm this old man gets scared. He is now building up the original motor into a normally aspirated 240Z stroker (240 with a 280 crank and flat-top pistons). In his wandering through the net he stumbled upon the link below for figuring engine stats. It is geared for the Z cars...all the pre-loaded info is Z related, but, you can say "other" and put your own stats in and figure out your own needs. Give it a try. I plugged in some TR
 info from some motors I'm currently building and the numbers are interesting. 
  Just thought I'd share this with you all. - Ed
