No tearin up the hood yet Nah havn't takin it for a drive yeat, just started it up a few times on the stands to get the oil every where(test starts before we fit everything). Will fit the lightened pullys tonight, fit alternator, ps pump, chuck the radiator back in then where good for a test drive. Will let you know how it goes
Seconded! You've made awesome progress. No stuffing around, just straight into it. Can't wait to see her up and running. :zlove: Might even catch you at the Skidpan day on Sunday!
Ready to Burn!!!! Hey guys!!!!!!!!! Got to be one of the best days of my life today!!!! Got the Zed on the road Not sure if you can see. But thats the biggest grin i've held this year YEAH!!!!!!!! Thanks all the support along the way. Big thanks to Drewz for helping me pull the engine!! See some of yaz this sunday at the skid pan session as Evil twin has decided to let me fill in 4 him. YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
congrats.. hard work really pays off.. i know how u feel.. enjoy the zed man.. u deserve it with all that work..
As Chili says in his signature there is no mind altering drug it cant replace. Now dont hyperventilate and pass out at the wheel I'll be on the road in January at the latest nearly one year after start, you do it in under 1 month
They real nice Sounds really good!!! Love the sound of them starting to wined up. Just running stock boost atm so the turbos aren't really settling into there element yet. Got it booked in 4 a tune next week. Will tidy the tune with a max boost of around the 16-17psi. Then ill lodge my review of the turbo's. Trying not to push it to hard for now as the tune and timing is a bit messy Thanks guys Dave
Awesome!!! You've done fantastically and in such a short time. looking forward to meeting you and having a look at your Zed at the Skidpan day. :zlove:
haha u have big turbos and injectors!! push them to 20 mate... theres a dude in the us . he pushed 649hp from a z with hks turbos manifolds and injectors (on race gas) stock heads stock pistons stock rods !!
hmmm interesting Ill keep that in mind. Dont really wona blow the motor. Thinking of running the safer 16-17, maybe 18 for now. Rebuild early next year with forged pistons and rods then we take it up to the 20+ mark. Don't really need to much more power for drift. Though it is run when you boot it and it kicks you back in that seat HARD... Cheers Dave
