Looking to breathe some fire into a currently dormant Z so just trying to make sure I've got everything covered. Background: Low compression #2, have a motor I bought from EvZ to go in. Supposed 150 psi across the board to last until the old motor is rebuilt to go back in. So, what's on my to-do list? Won't be doing too many upgrades whilst it's out since I need to keep costs down -Leak-down test of motor to go in -Plenum pull/TB water bypass -PCV reroute -EGR removal/blank plenum -100k service -Install new 4 bolt downpipes -Oil cooler SS lines (I have the SPL rad) -Install polished plenum/TBs -PS lines (ones I put in were just temps and are seeping) -Maybe new engine mounts -Fuel rail/740s / BDE top mount (undecided) Anything I'm missing?
how is your 02 sensors?? possibly replace dunno if your including rear seal in 100k service, but if not, then do it
Yeah thats a good one, maybe look at getting your turbos reco'd/highflowed or swapping em altogether depending on your finances.
I would definately check all connectors off your harness, specially the sensor connectors... give them a clean-up or replace.
You could do that But I think you will find most people put a beer in their hand, make a silly face and get a mate to take a photo and post it up here in a build thread. You could get the steering rack rebuild? They have a tendancy to leak once they get on a bit.
Replace det sensor and check power steering hi-pressure hose from rack to pump... Tighten fuel lines from chassis.
