well, atleast we know there is room for improvments. What if you remade the base with a series of pins sticking up, of course you would want one directly over the core. I am very interested in seeing how that would preform.

This one: and this one: Those are todays and tomorrow's projects. Going out of town Wendsday for about 7 days. And then work "should" be getting more busy so my time will be limited more than it already is. I am really thinking about trying to find a more in town job, but there are not many jobs around here because 2 major companies have layed of hundreds of people and even BurgerKing stopped hiring. So I think I am stuck for another year at least. |

So what is to happen to the good ol z4 now? I would like to have a crack at it. See if I cant adapt a new bottom for it.
If the original owner has no objections of course....

so do we think that it is because of how thin the base of the block is?

Once the walls where milled out it was a much cooler block. 5-8C cooler!!! I am still running it and have been averaging 8-9C over water temp with the XP1600+@1534mhz 2.05Vcore 145FSB. That isn't to bad. If the base was thicker and larger with some type of added channels or something it might do even better. Going to ship it off the Fixittt today. |

Schoolie,
I want to take the time to personally thank you for sending the z4 to Jay. With the block in hand he was able to de-funk all the myths and BS surounding that crappy product. And I do hope that he was able to keep people from being disapointed after buying it. As you all know Jay is now passing the remains of the Z4 on to me. I will look at it and see if there is something that can be done to make it a contender. If I am able to make a new plate for it and have it preform as good as most blocks out there, I want to send it back to you as a token of thanks. You did not have to send it to Jay. I know it was hard earned money that you put down for it. So thanks, and I will try my best to get you something you can be proud of owning.

Hey no problem, Fixittt. I was angry when I opened up the box and saw what I'd bought. I'm glad my money didn't go to waste, thanks to jaydee and you. I'm happy that solid testing and analysis was done on the block so that other people don't waste good money on it. Please keep it. I'm very happy with the blocks that I have.
Of course, let me know when your next-generation block is ready --Rob |

Ok I will let you know.
Then I think taking the re done block and having a give away would be well suited. Do you agree Schoolie? Its your call.

the maze2 is definately worth the money, but I'm still semi skeptical about eheims being worth so much (although DDen have the best price on them)
