we don't need no stinkin air!

 

jeremy...you're off the hook...but this is trail-brazin' stuff.

good luck bro!!!!

 

damn bro..awesome write up so far..please keep us updated and good luck...

 

thanks man, i would write more but its soooo much stuff i would be here forever just typing. more pics tomorrow, i am putting in the TT motor for sure, hopefully it wont rain too early...

 

what ever happened to that harness on the Z being different? did you figure that out yet?

 

nope i posted a thread in the main section of engine, drivetrain, & FI on here, i was about to go check it to see if anyone responded. i am about to go put the TT motor in the Z right now, if i can by myself. no help today. if not i have plenty to do between the two cars to take up time till someone can stop by to help

 

Awesome progress/pics. Keep up the good work Jeremy it will all be worth it when you blast down the 1/4....

 

ok i have some more pics but i will throw them up later, i got the TT motor in the Z and shift linkage hooked back up, driveshaft is in and secure and the motor and tranny mounts are all bolted up.

THEN IT FUKING RAINS AGAIN DAMNIT!!!!


ill post the pics later, it kinda looks like a fast big storm running through here so i want to try to get the Z all back together...

 

yeah its raining EVERYWHERE

reason why im going to build a good size garage with a lift before i try anything like this.

i know when i start im not going to want to stop

 

ok here are the pics, a couple of the solid motor mounts from scott. they look really good but the bolt that holds them wouldnt fit through the stock hole. so i just grabbed a drill and made it a bit bigger

the turbos on the motor make it such a ***** to fit in, plus i was all by myself today. even more of a *****!!!

but its in and stopped raining for a minute at least!! time for more work

 

Good pics...

 

thanks for the pics, I've done engine swaps before on some of my other cars but this doesn't look too bad once all the radiator and front end stuff is removed.

Good luck!

 

For some reason, this pic just creeps me out.

 

Nice job Jeremy

Looking good, impressed with your skillz

I started my engine build aswell. But it must of been nice to get a engine already ready to go into your car . I got a great deal on a used engine, now just need to get the parts to go in it.

Keep up the good work, cant wait to see those new 1/4 mile times.

Later

It should! I thought I was going to jump off the Skyway Bridge when I had my Z on blocks with no Brakes, Suspension and Wheels and had to leave it like that for a week till the parts came in.

No worries, you only have over $60,000 tore apart in your backyard

Also, I PM'ed you about the skunk.

 

Very Impressive, just subscribing and keep the good work.

Also keep posting the pics, will help many here.

BTW, do the breathers in the hoses(see attached pic) improve in anything? If it does, were exactly they go.

Thank you!

OE

 

awesome progress!!.. can't wait to see the results!

 

thanks guys, i pretty much have the Z back together, few more things and full fluid drain and refill on everything and it will be ready to.. welll be close to starting, now all i need to do is learn more about UTEC/turbo combonation, ill figure it out!!


the valve cover breathers dont really do anything except keep oil and hot air out of the intake/plenum...

 

its funny the engine was laying on the ground this morning, it rained for hours and now the car looks about 95% together. i hate the hose clamps that the greddy kit has and i am going to buy some new clamps to put on all the pressure sides. i broke about four of them, all i have left is the front bumper, hood, test pipes, and the utec stuff to mess with (boost solenoid, map sensor, fuel and timing maps)

then i will ready to drive it!! i hope to be able to start it tomorrow !!!!!!

 

Damn, the Z's really coming along now..
