Engine rebuild

+ turbos=
Progress is a little slow, I dont have an engine crane or stand atm. Check the bottom turbo pipe.

 

sweet job beaver. looks very proffesional. i think i am about 3 months behind you!!!

 

I really like your engine bay, very sexy without being too over the top! I'm impressed, and that's hard to do! lol

 

Damn thats one clean engine bay beaver. Wanna spruce up mine for me

 

Nah your

way in front off me rollin, your engine is out mine is still in.
The top pic is what it used to look like, after the first time i played with it. Thanks for the comments

 

ah i see, you had dressed up the bay before but now you are doing a rebuild and turbo's.

SO you got as far as taking the pelnum off, that is quite a bit of work in itself. what power level are you aiming for if you are swaying towards stock internals?

Have you pulled the motor before? how are you going to do it?

 

And your both ahead of me. I've still got to prep my new motor.

 

i havent even blown mine yet, any advice guys?

 

30psi should do it nicely and quickly Trav...

 

Removing

the engine is easy enough, but that?s not how the rebuild/turbo plan started, that was because off a misfire on piston 1, which I thought was an electrical wiring problem, but turned out to be the injector instead, that?s why the plenum is off. I started thinking rebuild as soon as I spotted that oily mess in the turbo pipe in the pic.
From there I have spoken to cpz coz, about the gt600r kit,
there appears to be a fitment problem, which I think is actuator related, I've asked coz if that is in fact the case, and if so, could I have the smaller hks actuators fitted before shipping, he's on the case.
I already have 555?s uas manifolds, TTz smic, nismo regulator, and new stock fuel pump to go with the turbos.

To get the 500 hp I was originally after, was going to cost
a lot more than I wanted to spend, so for now 400 atw's moderately safely is what I?m after, maybe I?ll spend a little more on forged pistons, but that?s about it.

 

yeah i was going ot go pistons and keep the stock rods, but then with 4340 H beam rods coming in at 800 bucks i cant pass that up

 

lust, lust, lust .. damn you beav ..!!! .. every time i

see pics of you bay i want to cry and start all over again ... !!!

absolutely beautiful...!!! .. :zlove: :zlove:

 

Thanks rob

The guys on tt net say the mounts have to be ground, to fit the kit. Coz will possibly speak to the guys at Z1, and come back with an answer, but there is an issue, and I want to know exactly what it is before I buy.

 

Pretty common to have to grind the mount. I had to on the drivers side with my pe1420 kit.

 

Aggree its

common enough Itd. Can anyone say the actuators in the pic are the hks small barrel type, they do look similar?

Z1GT600R Kit.

 

Similar but!

My HKS actuators have a straight actuator rod not bent like the one in the picture.
It is hard to tell from the picture but the one on the right appears to have a second vac fitting whereas my ones only have a single one.

 

Gee Rob

You change turbo's like you change jocks!
saw your motor at uas 2 weeks ago, looks sik man
