Wow, when I look at the engine bay, so much stuff in there lol, can hardly see.

Nice job so far.

What do you mean? My English is not always that good, I'm Dutch.

V8 isn't always better. Line 6 engines run very smooth

Problem with BMW engines, is the heads are made pretty big imo. if they where smaller, and with this V12, the intake flanges removed, not much left....

Here's a nice C20LET @ Johnc: They should be in the US to....

It's not so difficult if you know indeed. Bust most folks have no idea what to put in their engine. Then it's best to let the dealer sort it out. But factory advised oil, is not always the best. It's also depending if it's freezing winter or summer, then you need different oil. ( For stock engines, you can mainly always find the adviced multigrade oil in the book that was supplied with the car ) In the early days ( oldschool ) they did not have Multigrade oils. But to make it easy there are 4 categories: - Minarel - Semi Synthetic - Synthetic - Full Synthetic To read the Multigrade code: ...... W ...... Before the W: Thickness at cold engine After the W: Thickness at operating temperature

Now go for the TAR attack lol

Yeah, that's right. Best to use is MIG. ( co2 for the oldies )

The aerodynamic shape could be much better, airscoops are now good either. Air intake should be integrated into the bodyline, thus not disturbing the flow. Excessive spoilers aint no good either. I recommend you study more aerodynamics.

It certainly takes time. You can use alot less bondo, to get the job done, but that takes more time to smoothen it out, so the shops use excessive bondo to get the job done quick. Do it yourself is always good, that's the people that change the world, own innitiatives.

Looks great!

Yeah, he should restore it to it's original. No V8 in a Z, Just fix it, so far, and DRIVE it. With classic cars, I would not think of doing something like that, but some people do I guess.

When I see pictures of those big scrapyards in America, and even when you can find yourself a Z, makes me... smile. Can't find it here in Europe. No way, gonna find a Z on scrapyard.

Put an air filter box on it, all that dirt, works like a sandblaster inside your engine.

The ingredients are simple for an ferrari v8 for instance.. - not to big bore, small stroke. - Double Overhead Camshafts, 4 valves the cilinder. ( 32 Valve ) - Low angle block V ( for revs ) - ITB's or carbs. - High power igniton. Well you know.... $$$$$

German Rednecks. I can't see the logic of projects like this.

Did the engine run on the standard pump? If it didn't work at all, check the relais. If that doesn't help. Pull a + line from the battery to the pump with a switch.

I'm a bit confused what you are trying to tell me. How many wires are going to the standard pump?

Use a multimeter on the lines that go to the pump, to see which one gives + feed. ( Crank it over )

Adam: As I can make up from the story, you have to use the choke alot of times, this means your mixture is to lean. This can cause also the plugs to wear out. I advice to check your carbs again ( take em off, clean and rebuild with new gaskets ). 93 fuel is okay, so is 91. L24 engine doesn't run high compression ratio.

Rotary's are nice, but they do have wear problems.

If you still run the original engine, keep the original pump. Are you getting clear sparks?

Skydive completely naked

Okay, thanks for the tips guys
