Ross's PIC HEAVY Z32 TT Build
 
I thought i'd share my build with everyone. It's most def. in progress...

First and foremost, I'd like to thank Greg @ SpecialtyZ... he's been a saint to me throughout this.

Background- My father bought this car new in 1990. He drove it until he died in 2000, and around ~2002 my mother gave the car to my cousin. The cars condition deteriorated to an extent, and after selling my 2008 VW GTI and picking up a Tundra, I decided I was ready to take on the build of a monster.

Not gunna go into great detail, just pics. The motor had a terrible knock but it went away, i'd think due to sticky lifters or something along those lines... got some fresh oil into the car and it's gone.

Goal: 400+whp/93 oct & 500whp/q16
Weekend car w/ excellent suspension & stopping power

Anyway, pics.

I need to remember to come over here once in a while and update!

Plenum pull... if anyone has ever done one on a Z with no EGR delete or water line bypass you understand my pain.
http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b8...10314-1721.jpg

Time to mount these monsters-
http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b8...10310-1552.jpg

Buddies helping me out-
http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b8...10322-1611.jpg

Little dremel work, all stock IC's and pipes removed.
http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b8...10322-1625.jpg

Turbo pipes on.

http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b8...10322-1847.jpg

Calling it a day. Tomorrow- mounting up the I/C's and playing jigsaw puzzle with the piping, as well as EGR delete (partial)

Future_gohan 03-23-2011 12:31 AM

my first z I had to pull and reinstall the intake plenum with the water lines all connected and then reconnected them all. Sucked SOOOO bad.

bardabe 03-25-2011 11:13 AM

The car has alot of sentimental value so half-assing isn't in the picture.

Had to delete the carbon canister and fight with couplers and pipes for a while but i'm satisfied with the end result-

Everything is clamped down now.

I accidentally broke my det sensor sub harness when I pulled the plenum... so the next project is to put a new one in without disassembling the entire car..

rossttz 03-28-2011 05:05 PM

Few more of the whole system done-

Wont be needing this..
