    At UAS we have our own custom made frame that holds VG30DETT engine via a bell housing. Using a starter motor, radiator, wiring loom and fuel system, it allows us to test and run the motor for quite a while to make sure it does not blow smoke and to get the motor to operating temperature to do a compression test. The video below is in our dyno room, it has a big fan in front of the radiator and big extraction fans for the fumes.

    Today we tested a motor and found the driver?s side turbo blowing oil out, so we swapped it for a good one and re tested and all good. This saved us a lot of time, as the alternative is putting the engine in a car and then find engine blows smoke, has coolant lor oil leaks or a turbo seal leak or combo of issues and no good and have to remove it. The compression was pretty good, ranging from 137psi to 145psi.

    This one has turbo's and radiator set up for proper running, although not under load.

    It sure does and not rebuild as such and not sure why it has been moved over here??

    Z Re-builds Rebuilding your ZX? Post about it here. This is for major rebuild threads only, minor mods and tech questions still go in Z Related Technical
