m-rod's 99 GTZ

[TargaTop]

Ok I might get heat for this and Ive been away from the forum for sometime, That said I am loving these 6G75 swaps and I have to ask because it hasnt been mentioned and I might just be way overthinking this. I keep pondering about the ignition and firing sequence. Do the 72,74, and 75 have the same firing order?

[M-Rod]

They do. And the distributor is a direct fit replacement for the individual coils found originally on the 6G75.

[TargaTop]

Does the clutch/flywheel spec change from one engine to the other? Do you need a 75 specific clutch kit and flywheel or are all 6g7*'s again interchangable for this?

[M-Rod]

You can still use the 6g72 flywheel and clutch. Just make sure you upgrade to a stage 2 clutch to handle the increased torque load. Anything higher than that and you WILL blow your differential, unless you have a Wavetrac or Quaife.

Energy engine mount inserts arrived today. Solid urethane, no relief holes, exactly what I've been waiting for. The included cross member bushings are a nice addition. These should be in the car Saturday to cure my Prothane woes.

Oh, they're still red, I thought Energy's only came in black for some reason. You know red mounts give you that extra 50 HP lol!

[M-Rod]

They're available in red or black. I chose red so they would still match my 2 Prothane bushings that are staying. Although they won't give me the extra 50hp you speak of (as a joke I know), there will be an update here soon that should be capable of that type of increase.

I'm on pins and needles

Matt you did the A-arm prothanes correct? I noticed an increase in handling response after.

Stickers! They ALWAYS add 50hp!

Lol don't pay me any attention, I know if you say you got a power mod coming, it's gonna be dope. Can't wait homie!

no3/ meth kit?

[M-Rod]

Keith, I did. They freshened up the front end quite a bit. Along with new I/O tie rod ends and ball joints, the improvement up front makes the car feel like new.

Greg, it's the TGC sticker making all the difference!

Jared, nitrous may be a last ditch effort after what I have planned if I do decide on more power. I'll keep the thread posted as things come into motion. The parts probably wont be installed until Winter/Spring, but I can drool over them a few months.

And while at it, here's a little update. The weekend at Powercruise proved to be an abusive one.

Here's the front Prothane mount.


And the rear.


Upon removal, they are squashed and torn.


The solution. Energy Suspension, Engine mount inserts. Solid urethane, and another successful day at the Silvertune Garage.

no3/ meth kit?

nitrate, when regular nitrous oxide isn't enough? lol

[GTMitsu]

I know his secret, but I won't tell.

Bribes are accepted. /pm for details.

[mko]

whats the part number for the support bushings?

[M-Rod]

I'm not sure that Energy sells them individually. Mine came with the front and rear motor mount inserts as a kit.

P/n 2476

[M-Rod]

Found some pictures on a memory card from Powercruise this past Summer. These will have to do until the real parts gathering takes place soon.

About to let it rip down the main straightaway.




Staging.

Nice pics, this one's my favorite because all you see is a bunch of muscle cars & then in the middle, a sleeper Galant
