Why does 1996 firebird turn over so long before it starts?
i have a '97 3.8 v6 which has problems turning over. i usually have to try like 3 or so times. i havent diagnosed exactly what it is ~ either the fuel pump, FPR, or hopefully just needs a new fuel filter. either way, there isn't enough pressure to pump in enough fuel to start the engine. try turning the ignition on and off a few times, you should hear like a humming noise coming from the pump, wait for that to stop before you turn it off again... if you do this and it starts with more ease than usual i would recommend looking into diagnosing the above. good luck.
No, unfortuently there are not any engine kits that I have seen avalible for the z31 300zx.
AnswerNot that I know of. Why would you go through all the work of putting a 350 in a Z31 when the VG30ET is said to be able to handle 400-500 horsepower stock and 500+ rebuilt?Some reasons i can think of
availiblity of parts
cost of parts
aftermarket support
repair costs
swap cost
Although there is no kit, it would be fairly easy to install a small block in your Z31 ( which I'm assuming is N/A ) .
Issues that would arrise
oil pan clearance
Mounts
Rear end would need to be replaced ( oem rear ends aren't worth **** )
Custom Drive shaft
other small issues
I'm consindering a 350 in my 88 z31 n/a 2 seater . With a fair amount of knowledge of SBC's , i think this swap would be pretty straight forward , hardest part being the crossmember issue and wiring the ignition
ahem,
LS1 & transmission.
stand alone managment.
upgraded fuel pump.
upgraded fuel lines if it bottle necks (which it probly will)
engine and transmission mounts.
larger radiator (for the obvious reason)
and about the diff. weld it shut. it will last if you don't get serious traction off the line.
done.
good way to spend 12,000k.
6-7 for engine.
3-4 for and parts.
2-3 for labor.
about the VG. you are either HIGH if you honestly think that after a rebuild a VG will handle 500horses with boost reliably. or you have gratuitus amounts of money falling from your butt. 500 hp on a V8 street driven is too much for the street. and the torque you will create with an LS1 is driver friendly and easy to drive. you won't have to wind up the LS1 like you will with the VG. because the VG's torque will all be where the boost is, and we all know boost takes time. something we all are against.
Why was interchangeable parts so important?
The interchangeable parts are important because it helped people to speed up the process of fixing things- and it also allowed lower pay and less skilled workers.
