Alex_V Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 Any ideas? Ive got a full turbo swap with 105K sitting waiting for a car to power and I want to do something to keep me busy lol. I was thinking: -Compression test it on the stand (I can bolt the engine/tranny together and use the starter as is) -clean any and all fluids out of the engine/tranny -check for any wearing items -clean the block and paint it -simplify the intake manifold -remove emissions -clean all the eletrical connectors Any ideas? I dont have emission testing here so Im good. And since Im a student I dont want to build it before I do drive it. I can do that next winter. I do just want to go through it with a fine tooth comb and make sure it'll work great. ~Alex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex_V Posted November 9, 2006 Author Share Posted November 9, 2006 Yea I was being pretty through. I was just wondering if there was anything I missed. Is there any thing I need to look for that could cause failure? That would normally wouldnt be inspected in a engine swap. ~Alex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schwiplarkin Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 check your valve clearance and set it to spec.. that is if you are able to start it on the satnd becouse it is supposed to be set while hot. besides that keep a eye on ebay and your local craigs list for a car to put it in... good luck and have fun.......

Mr.INSANE Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 Id Say while your at it -Replace Head Gasket -Replace Oilpan Gasket -Intake/Exhaust Gasket -Clean Injectors Once you get the car -Replace injector connectors (IMO the best upgrade it looks great and is good for the injectors too) -General Harness Inspection (Worth it Totally) -New Coil (maybe) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex_V Posted November 9, 2006 Author Share Posted November 9, 2006 I have the wiring and all that too along with alot of other parts so Ill definitly do all that. I put some new wire plugs on my 90 maxima and it helped out alot so Im sure it'll help the Z. The oil pan is definitly a good idea....The headgasket, I donno. Working on cars isnt hard at all and doing an in car repair isnt a big deal to me. I think Ill be making a setup so I can test it and all that. It'll also be to setup my VQ30 with megasquirt so Ill definitly need it. Its also got the P90a head so its got hydralic lifters so I dont have to adjust anything. ~Alex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
