Pulling Heads to Install L19’s and HKS Head Gaskets
#42
Adding headers this time around too.
Also, ended up painting a spare timing cover wrinkle black (got tired of trying to keep polished timing covers clean), turned out pretty good IMO. I got the idea from an R35 owner: http://gtrlife.com/forums/topic/1078...e/page__st__80
Just a layer of primer, a wrinkle black coating, and heat gun. Just need to clean up a tiny bit of over spray.

Don't neglect injectors. I would send them for testing and calibration. A leaking injector in one cylinder can make the ecu lean out the other 2 in that bank, causing serious problems.

Injectors are cheap to have cleaned and tweaked to flow the same. It's my theory that many tuners have gotten blamed for blown engines that were caused by bad injectors.

Quick update, we’ve been working on the car very intermittently, finally wrapping it up though…
The new motor’s in, timing set, turbo kit bolted up, etc.
Also polished my intake plenum & had the cold side piping powder coated a wrinkle charcoal metallic:

Quick update... car has been running rock solid, on a bit of a whim I decided to take it apart and send the turbo out to Pure Turbos (of BMW fame) for an upgrade. I talked to Charles@Pure and he said they could put something together for me that should work nicely.
They'll be adding there billet compressor wheel and a 66mm turbine wheel. I purchased a new S compressor cover that they'll be machining for the larger compressor wheel (the PowerLab kit came with a smaller E cover) and they'll be machining my original T3 1.06 exhaust housing for the larger turbine wheel. This way I won't have to modify any of the hot side of the PL kit and this upgrade should yield some worthwhile gains.
I shipped the turbo out on Monday, should get it back sometime next week.

So, no dyno tuning yet... but I took the car out to make a few pulls on a back road just to get a preliminary feel for the car and make sure the AFR was sorted out.
Couple things I've noticed:
1. I've had to make very little adjustments to my AFR
2. My exhaust back pressure ratio has dropped fairly significantly, I was previously seeing a ratio of 2 to 2.2, with the new 6266 upgrade I'm seeing an exhaust back pressure ratio of 1.6-1.7
3. I'm making 1.5 to 2 psi of boost over my target boost level
