Running the boost line and water line.


Close up of the water line.


Random Pic


Turbo installed trying to get the intake on it. Dam me being a noob I had to take out the a/c cause I couldnt figure out how to adjust the turbo. There's a snap ring that you can only get to by taken the exhaust housing off.


Getting closer to running.


Now how the F#ck am I gonna get this to work.


Another pic trying to figure it out.


Relocated the oil pressure switch and sensor so it wont put to much stress on the block.

Tucked some of the wires and fliped the battery around. Dam thumb in the way.


Rear sway installed and skunk2 lca's



Painted the Intake mani and the fuel rail. Better shot of the somewhat tuck


New shift boot with red stiching I got the one for the ebrake to.


New bolt boys kit. You can kinda see the wrap on the downpipe I aslo got the poly bushing for the trans mount and repainted it. I didnt have the right size oil restrictor on the turbo so it started blowing some oil. I upgraded to the GT28RS garrett one to reach 300hp.


Bolt kit I also put that crappy looking bracket on the raditor so it doesnt hit the dp.


Better shot of some things painted and trying to clean up some rust.

Dammit I was running the car like 10 miles from the house shifted from 2nd to 3rd and I felt a huge loss of power. something messed up in the trans.

U can see the missing bearings in there. I dont know why they dont sell sealed bearings for this. These were honda diff bearings. I bought 2 from mfactory after this and there the same dam thing even though they said they were sealed. Still dont know why it broke I changed the oil after a tank.


Got real lucky everything looks good.


The damage. Diff is fine though


Case is fine as well.


Gotta love habor frieght 100 buks the boom is kinda short but works.


The original rotors wore out real quick. I think its cause I had the brake line ran behind the shock instead of infront of it so the brakes werent releasing properly. They replaced them for nothing so cant complain there. New bushings installed in the front LCA. What a diff these things made.

Spare z6 motor getting ready to be rebuilt.


Found alittle spider sitting in there.


Crank removed everything looks good in there.


Put it back together with everything loose so I dont loose anything. I dropped it off at the shop today. He said its gonna be 2-3 weeks before I get it back.



Here is the specs for the block. I wanted to do it myself but its to much money if I do something wrong. So the extra money will be worth my peace of mind. I was gonna go with the Viatara's but I seen 2 people break rings at that time with mostly the same specs and they thought it was the cast. Another chance I didnt want to take.

top ring .019
middle ring .021
bottom ring 0.020
piston to wall should be .003 or .002


valve releifs de burred

Decked .002

bored .5 mm over

notched for the rods to clear so they dont bind against the block

Hot-tanked

crosshatching

tighten the rod cap down to 43ft/lbs and the mains to 33ft/lbs

Deck the head .002

Thanks man. One of these days ill get around to drilling them out. It wont cool them off so its really pointless to have them dimpled like that.
