    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?

    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.
