Alo Ha,
Did a complete rebuild on the Z. Thought Id update some Z fans here. Never imagined selecting rings and bearings for a car could be such a challenge. Because it is a race spec engine, you have to order individual bearings for each journal using numbers stamped all over the block. You have to put together some formular and contact NASA to decipher the crap before ordering. I tried measuring tolerances with a dial gauge and there were hardly any differences between sizes. Best of all, entire bottom end main caps are one piece. Got more confidence now to up the boost and sign up for the next Copenhagen get together.
Gas Flowed Heverythin...including the aircon ventilation ducts.
New Stainless Steel tubular manifolds
Engine Detailing(orange battery gots to go)
Changed Instrumention Look
From This
To This
Some New Digial Instrumention(left) One Screen, Many gauges. I can even hook up a review camera
Swop Screens and Gauges with a click of a button
Solid Engine Mounts.
740cc Nismo Injectors.
More than enough for my kinda power and piece of mind.
Wideband AFR Conversion on both Banks with Analogue simulation.
Much more accurate and a lot more fuel efficient if you not killing the car.
Hook up laptop and car can produce its on map with targeted AFRs using some nice software
Tein Coilovers with electronic adjustment controller. 16 Way. Dropped the sucker low.
Clear Side Markers
Did a 35% Tint
Result:
Car feels much strong with same amount of boost and alot more torque and according to logs it running 12-15% cooler when pushing it hard. Think the gas flowing and the Wideband conversion played a major role. Still breaking in the engine with some cheap motor oil so cant really kill it or dyno.
