I think they are gonna keep him. Receivers are dropping like flies on that team so doesn't hurt to have a few around.
BTW, on his Facebook post he said he stole this from Peyton.

SMS....there's a good hundred pics of the process to this point. Thought I would spare you all my bad photography skills. LOL!
I can always go back and post some of the past ones. Definitely will post moving forward.
Dan...Maybe a week or two? I can't weld, so Larry has graciously volunteered to help me with that part. I'll have to mock up a section, cut the tubing at home, mark how it goes together, then go to Larry's shop to get it welded, then go back home for the next link in the chain.
I really need a license plate frame that reads: "Sponsored By Larry". The guy has saved my butt a few times on this project.

After driving it, the 26 year old turbo deiced it didn't want to work anymore and it blew a seal. Time for a new turbo, so went with a hybrid T3/4 capable of 400HP. Yup, you read that HP correctly.
Old and New
To clock the turbo for my application, I had to relocate the wastegate. Made the mount shown.
Now onto the final part of this project. Hooking up the air flow meter to the turbo inlet and building a new 3" mandrel downpipe and connecting it to my 3" mandrel CAT back exhaust. The CAT will be eliminated, but possible to bolt back in via v-band clamps.
Here is an idea of how the AFM to Turbo will look. Hole In One was huge help fab'ing the SS pipe with vacuum fittings.
I'll post up some pics of the downpipe and exhaust as they happen.
Also, after this project is completed, all I have to do is change a few things.
1) Larger injectors at ~ 440cc
2) Wideband O2 sensor for tuning. The new downpipe will have a dedicated O2bung for it.
3) MegaSquirt and Spark Fuel & Spark management
All the mapping for the MSnS is easy to obtain. This will allow for the Z to be tuned to a reliable 350-375RWHP with no other mods required.

Painted the valve cover with krinkle paint
Engine back in the car
Amazing news: It started right up and no extra parts! I did have a minor timing issue, but sorted it out right away.

Some of you know I've been dragging out a project on my Z. I just realized I haven't posted anything here. So here goes the short version.
All started because I had several seals blow, so needed to replace them. Decided to do the job myself. Car: 1983 Datsun 280ZX Turbo.
Hood off and getting ready to pull the motor. Looking pretty busy in there.
The motor out of the car. Ugh, what have I gone and done?
Blown seals - Valve Cover, Head and Oil Gaskets. OK, so that looks pretty bad.
Stripping the block - intake and exhaust manifolds gone
Engine cleaned up.
Short block painted with POR-15. Starting to feel good about this.
Add in RED paint with black accents for bling. Getting real excited now

So here are the parts I have been needing to finish the current project.
- Silicon hump connector attaches the Air Flow Meter to the SS pip that Larry welded some hose fittings to. Then the two 90 degree connectors attach to the inlet on the turbo. This is all 3" diameter.
- The SS 180 degree SS pipe will be part of the IC tubing. Seriously shiney. Just where the silicon 90 attaches to the turbo, that is where the 180 SS bend will attach and then loop over the wastegate and attach to the rest of the IC piping.
- The SS braided line is the oil feed for the turbo. -AN fittings are used to make the connections.
- V-Band clamp will attach the downpipe directly to the turbo. I have one in place on the exhaust side of the turbo.
- There are two more sets of V-Band flanges & clamps. One set will be at the bottom of the downpipe and the third set will be near the back of the car, just after the CAT. I can always splice in another set in between so it gives me the ability to run a CAT or Test Pipe set-up.
All the 3" madrel tubing is sitting in the garage waiting to be fab'd together.

On the Colts Depth Chart, he is listed at the starter for WR. No mention of Reggie Wayne..what's up with that?

What is his status with the Colts these days? Lockout aside.

I have begun to sell off all the parts. They are funding the getting the current project rolling again.
