Hhahaahaha well I havent had time to touch the new project car because I made a deal with myself to finish my G before I do. Today I said what the hell Im going to pull the IM off and see how bad this thing is. I found this! NOT GOOD! Im sure the turbos are shot and a few other things as well. I guess its going to cost me a little more then I thought to get her up and going.

 

Pic of the car.

 

Yup, that's not good. Basically you got yourself a paperweight there. Heads are done, be real suprised if the block wasn't doa as well.

Noticed in the 2nd pic, part of a piston oil ring. Nice....

 

mmmmmmm.

well nows the chance to build it and boost it

 

Block is doa for sure...only way to know about everything else is to pull it all apart...

 

Well I think it's safe to say the motor's blown.

 

sorry to see that man. Just remember Sleeve it !

 

You should have posted... "Not For The Squeemish"

Damn!!! You should prepare people before seeing that.

I see the future.... It's a little hazy but I see less people going FI !!!!

I think the oil is normal if that has the APS kit on it. Oh Sh*t did I just say that out loud? Flame suit on!!!

Respect
JET

 

Man that does not look good at all. But you knew when you bought the car it was really F**ked up. But good luck on getting everything together.

 

reminds me of the movies where people get shot through the heart and bleed out the nose.......

i say u rip it out and put in SR20det, rb26dett, or 2jz-gte

 

Hhahahaha this was a greddy car. I knew the block was done so I bought a long block before I bought the car. I just didnt know how bad it was, now I know. I had thought I would be able to sell a few things,heads ect. but I guess not. Really sux to see the car like this and to know this didnt have to happen. To think what a 40.00 timing harness would have done.

 

LOL yup all this over $40...well sleeve the new longblock, build the heads, and make a BEAST...might as well upgrade to 20gs since the turbos need to be rebuilt!!

 

i must say i do love the look of crap all blown up, even my own stuff sometimes. cause ya know someone was having some fun right up to the bang boom sounds. unfortunately that boom prolly took everything with it. look at the bright side, it is the circle of life and the Z is ready to be reborn bigger and better than the first time. plus you can still use some stuff outside the engine, lol. you just got a big head start on your broken parts trophy wall, lol.

 

some JB weld will fix that right up

 

At least you knew what you were buying. No surprise there.

 

Some Z2 and Z6 and she'll be all better...


Yeah I agree this thread needs a disclaimer. Those pics hurt!

 

well, at least you knew and purchased an entire long block instead of just the bottom end. good luck and make it mean.

be extra sure to clean out all the intake piping and intercooler!!!

 

my god.......

 

WTF happened??

 

I dunno thats how I bought it. Any tricks to getting all the metal out of the IC and stuff?
