Hi, next weekend I'm taking out my d16z6 of my coupe to change out the timing belt, water pump and mainly putting in some pm6 pistons. The problem is, is that I'm stationed overseas here in italy so I don't have the comforts of conviences of engine tuning facilities so I have to do this on my own the best I can. Here is the work that I have planned to go down on the weekend or however many days it takes to finish it. I got friend that is pretty damn good at engine building since thats all he does when he heads back home. He builds drag v8's so he has ton of wealth for my non-exprience in all this.
d16z6 with 110,000 miles and is seriously out of tune & power:
replace timing belt
replace water pump
new head gasket
pm6 pistons with new rings
aem lightened pulleys
arp head studs
str cam gear
chikara header (going boost late summer)
tci automatics master racing transmission overhaul kit
custom torque converter
polyurethane engine mounts
new spark plugs
new gaskets all around i.e IM, tb, ex, oil pan plugs, etc...
Once all this is done, this is going on shortly afterwards:
oil filter relocation
oil cooler
transmission cooler
FPR
Whats done already:
cheap CAI
MSD spark plug wires
Hyper ground kit
150amp HO alternator
suspension - kyb agx with eiback pro kit
tie bars all around
Hopefully we can complete most of this in 2-3 days. Well be about 2-3 people helping me out on this. Got a service manual and excess to internet to help me out on this.
I also will be chipping my ecu, with a chip I got off the internet a while back. If it sucks, I'll just set it back to stock maps. Will be using uberdata as my engine management once I learn it more and get a chip burner. Plus I'll be getting a wbO2 later once I do.
Though the main thing now is getting the proper timing to make power from all this. From expreiences can anyone give some dizzy and cam timmings I should use. I definately need torque from how things run on the streets around here though some good horsepower would be nice since i drive around 100+ mph on an consistant basis around here especially to rome. My future goal is to lay down some whoop ass on 2 of my friends early m3's. The 2.3/4 I4 200 something horsepower cars. Once I can do that I'm set for life. This is a daily driver that just needed some balls to it.
However can drop some knowledge on me will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
