jonnyringo Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 About a year ago i picked up this Z from a member here on the forums unfinished. It was in great condition and ran but wasn't without it's issues. some wiring here and there along with some maintenance and a few things netted a mid 11 sec 1/4 et. at that time I decided to build it and upgrade a few things along the way. Since my girlfriend (lisa) loves cars this was a great opportunity for her to learn and for us to do something we love together, nothing would be so great without her. This project has been under construction for a long time due to time constraints that come with opening up and being the shop manager of a rather large shop. 12-14hr days have really made it difficult to work on this but............. The car is in its final stage with the motor back in, just waiting on me to get some time to do the fuel system plumbing. WOOOHOOOO on to the pics! Here it is in the beginning some parts acquisition Block being cleaned Lisa torquing down the main girdle to check the bearing clearances. Block painted (color is closer to HKS purple than it looks) Pistons and rods assembled Lisa installing the piston rings on to the pistons Mistakes happen. its no biggie Pistons/Rods in the block (can you notice the manufacturing error?) Head is ready to go Freshly ported and polished in house Me (left) putting on the head with Ray (shop owner) adjusting the tb's Lisa putting on a turbo (you mean this goes there =P) http://forums.hybridz.org/newthread.php?do=postthread&f=85 A friend came to shoot some pics before the motor went in, here they are MOD LIST: Wiseco Pistons Eagle Rods ACL Race Bearings ARP Main Studs ARP Head Studs Cometic Headgasket Greddy Oil Pump External Oil pick up with 200zr Pan Ported&Polished Head 5 angle valve job HKS 272 cams HKS Camgears HKS Timing belt HKS Fuel rail Greddy Clear Cover Greddy intake manifold N1 Water Pump Tomei oil restrictor Garrett twin gt2871r turbos Stock exhaust manifolds (ported, polished, modded throughout) T1r 1000cc high impedance injectors Aeromotive a1000 fuel pump Aeromotive FPR Power fc d-jetro + some other things here and there but that's mostly it for the engine Lisa's Mustang Lisa getting down with some slicks see where the color scheme for the motor came from? a couple customer cars a 2jz i just built for this supra let me know what you all think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T S30 H Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 Very nice build. Really like the HKS purple on the valve cover. Has it been installed yet? Please do post dyno numbers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonnyringo Posted November 3, 2009 Author Share Posted November 3, 2009 Very nice build. Really like the HKS purple on the valve cover. Has it been installed yet? Please do post dyno numbers. Yes the motor is in, I'm just lacking on time to do the fuel system and finish wiring up the switch pannel. I also need to make another intecooler pipe due to changing to the greddy manifold. Those seem to be the only things holding it back from running again. Ill try and get a couple shots of it in the car soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
