This is the 2nd to last part for my ZX that I need and also I finished my black VW So its all Z from here on out {APPLAUSE} No more side projects.. I need a FPR .. Thats it I paid 60 shipped for this rail..I will update this every tues wed. and thurs {my days off}

 

Damn s/c, that's sexy shifter. Don't you think you should have gotten yourself a fuel rail first though I'd say you got a damn good price though. I look forward to hearing from you on tues. with an update. That's is of course if today is actually thur.

 

HAHA thur. yup.. And I think it is better to get the more expensive stuff outta the way first SDS/MOTOR/TURBO SETUP? you know while you got the money.. I still need my Carbon hood by January J

 

Okay.. I got off early today I am working on cleaning up and assembling the Intake manifold.. JSK rail can be left just hanging right?? Anr where the old FPR went I can grind that a little to clean up??

 

you can leave the rail just mounted by the injectors... but you ought to make 2 brackets to hold it there... don't want any accidents!

The stock fpr is mounted to the stock fuel rail... so no stock fuel rail... why worry about where it went? If you mean the fpr itself... you can cut off the brakets if ya want.

 

YOU WONT NEED ANY brackets ....I DIDNT MAKE ANY FOR MINE ,,,THE INJECTORS SEEM TO LOCK INTO PLACE NICELY...JUST MAKE SURE YOU PUT A GOOD SEALER ON ALL THE FITTINGS.... THEN LET IT DRY FOR A FEW DAYS INSIDE.... SO YOU DONT GET ANY LEAKS.....

 

Well I kinda ufkd up painting the T/B linkage but oh well I guess what is done is done.. I might get to the rail tomorrow all my Z parts are in storage.. I gotta pull them out soon..

 

so sick.......... i cant wait to see it all put together

 

sweet, i just got the rest of the parts i needed to install my JSK rail in the mail today. i've never taken the fuel system apart on anything exept on the 1 cyl briggs and stratton motor on my old go cart, so this should be interesting


anyone got any tips for the install?

 

just mark everything really well ....... make sure you have eff ho's

 

81, those red line cover's look sweet. and I see you dumped your cruise control too. Hell It's a sport's car. once I get this no good rotin bad temperd non running messed up paint motor out my blue Z, I will rebuild with the Turbo Head, madafold. and Turbo unit I will be picking up soon. I will be of course useing blue line cover's, and blue paint.

 

blue and silver for me under the hood. Surgery starts soon!

 

I got to pick up a 12 pack of degresser can's to get my motor to lok like a motor again. bout an inch or to of gresse and oil. I don't think anyone every cleaned it in the 22 year's of life

 

Mine will be red/silver/black under the hood..

 

Carburetor cleaner cleans the grease off good. I spayed my intake manifold last night, and the grease was coming off! It has a nice silver finish to it.

 

I though about carb cleaner. But last time I used carb cleaner. I got it in my eye. Talk about burn. But I will think about it. Thanks Wild.

 

Dude! DO NOT USE CARB CLEANER!!!

Carb cleaner is for carbs... Many of the parts on your car have a coating on them from the factory that carb cleaner will destroy. You can seriously damage the TB by spraying carb cleaner in there. Using the right chemicals may require a little more elbow grease, but it will save your bacon in the end.

Rod.

 

Well of course you have to be careful, where you spray it. I am not saying spray inside the engine parts, just the outside. By the way I have used carb cleaner in my throttle body, so it would clean up, and run better. It worked great. Also when my '81 blew a hose, and sucked antifreeze into my air system, and into the throttle body. It freed it up great. I am not saying I am right, I am just going by my past experience with using it. All in all it worked for me, but I am not condoning using it, use it at your own risk.

 

hmmm... this isn't the first time I recall Wildman's used something in his engine that he wasn't supposed to.... I can't remember the thread? Didn't you use like deisel gas or something for cleaning???

 

No it was Kerosene and oil trick, it freed up my valves. An old recipe, that my dad has done before.

 

Well nothing will be getting done today on the Z unfortunetly.. I have to go to the doctor for x-rays.. I think my rist is broke from my motorcycle accident last week.. I cant even open a door .. well I will get something done tomorrow hopefully..

 

apparently you can still type though













good luck, hopefully it's not broken, wearing a cast blows

 

I am actually doing something today with the Z .. I am taking the tranny down to get magnafluxed Remember this little guy bleach??

 

wow, that little guy and I go way back. We've had some good times together....

 

Here are some pics of what I did today.. Put the manifolds on the new motor for good..I gotta pull the wastegate off to swap the springs out.. In there now is a 7PSI spring and that is not good.. I got a 18PSI one thats going in.. And I gotta pull off the TPS to redrill the slots to fit on the 240sx T/B..
