Recommended Posts

This was my first and only Z I've owned. And of course the first thing I did was search engine swaps and found Hybridz.org. I have been working on this car for 3 years now, and pretty much everything I learned about this car was with hybridZ help. So I figured I would finally stop trolling the boards and post up my build pics.

What it first looked like when I got it. L24 water pump broke so instead of fixing it for 30$, decided on an RB20det (FAIL)

3" exhaust

 

Well after 15 miles the Rb20 went POW so back to the drawing board. But a week later I found a local guy who was build a drift car and never decided to use this, so RB25 longblock showed up a week later.

The timing belt idler pulley bolt sheared off in the block. I have read about it happening to a few people. God only knows how the japanese throw these things into a shipping container? Look at all of our crank pulleys that are always cracked to hell:)

Yeah sorry for the cell phone pics...

 

I got my Holset hx35, I am waiting for the new t3 single scroll turbine housing and the polished compressor housing. Can't wait to see how it spools on the rb25! Just in time to put the car away for the winter...:(
