the_coupe's NA build cp manley bc
figured id start my build thread on here as well :thumbup:
my 04 coupe is currently at 72k, smokes only during cold starts for the first few minutes until warmed up and uses maybe 1.5 qts in 1200 miles or so :icon43: so i got an OC 05 AT nonrev motor with around 15k miles from my buddy to build on. http://i51.tinypic.com/140c5z5.jpg http://i55.tinypic.com/1zegwn7.jpg pix of disassembly http://i56.tinypic.com/28ceidv.jpg http://i51.tinypic.com/t4txg3.jpg http://i52.tinypic.com/2qdzh1y.jpg got the timing covers all cleaned up, esp all the silicone that was in the grooves http://i55.tinypic.com/nps75e.jpg http://i51.tinypic.com/n2batw.jpg http://i55.tinypic.com/2wdvvvl.jpg http://i51.tinypic.com/242wrpe.jpg cylinder walls didnt look bad minus some of the rust/buildup from the motor sitting in a shop for so long http://i53.tinypic.com/20h5wfo.jpg http://i55.tinypic.com/2q3pvsx.jpg bag it and tag it :D http://i55.tinypic.com/2dvndbm.jpg and now time for the goodies :werd: |

Nice build you have going on here. Are you porting the heads yourself? Are you planning on upgrading the valvetrain? Are you going be revving higher than stock? |
stock valves. BC cams, springs and retainers. will get an osiris tune once its together and a few hundred miles later. definitely bringin the rev limit up but we will see what the powerband shows on the dyno....ill cut it off soon after the power starts dropping off. and my buddy is doin all the port work. gasket matched the heads. intake side is obviously needing to be opened up. exhaust side is fine so itll just get smoothed out. then the intake manifold will be port matched then the lower plenum along with some other tinkering. and i already have the inside of the upper plenum smoothed out, just gotta do the throttle body inlet and elbow area.

293whp/280wtq.
|
those your numbers? what'd your build consist of?
|
Nah. I'm predicting for you. Although I hope I'm being conservative w/ you having an AT and I've not seen higher numbers on all but a few NA builds.
Mine are ~310whp/280wtq on a revup motor. Latest numbers here: https://my350z.com/forum/na-builds/4...z-revup-7.html |
Its 6mt.
|
Took me a while to find your thread.
Don't suppose you got the filter stud PN? Great build, hope it's done sooner than mine. |
Good stuff, hope to see the results soon. Seems like you are moving fast. Good luck.

my build and kacz07's build were my main topic for discussion today lol. as i was just thinking of finishing mine up....im hoping my valve clearances will be ok with the stock valves and bc cams/springs/retainers AND how much clearance between the piston and valve. CP said there were no clearance issues but does anyone know roughly how much space is between the 11:1 pistons and valves with bc 264s??
and i took a few pix of her when i was headin home from work.....got her washed up :) http://i56.tinypic.com/1zew6fn.jpg http://i56.tinypic.com/2ez7cs7.jpg http://i56.tinypic.com/2n8q6fl.jpg http://i56.tinypic.com/14jue8m.jpg http://i56.tinypic.com/29cru5e.jpg http://i53.tinypic.com/25s4xas.jpg |
this build is about identical to mine. except im going with new valves and dual springs in the heads. otherwise, very similar
|
Great thread. <3 diy more then anything. Keep up the good work. Before I saw your sig I was going to ask how much experience do you have lol.
Edit: What are MR headers? Meagan type? |
MR = Megan Racing

Nice build!
EDIT: NVM searched again and found it! one question tho, i searched on deleting the factory oil "warmer" but didnt find any info on it. Im thinking of removing it on the swap im doing but just not sure. What i found on it was its there to actually warm the oil up for short trips, and then once the motor and oil is fully warmed up it just stays constant. Did you block off the lines that come from the block to the cooler? or did you just hook those lines together? Id like to remove the stock cooler, and install a real oil cooler. sry for the hijack! |
my plan will be to weld shut the ports for the extra coolant lines. the only hoses i plan on keeping are the ones for the throttle body.
