Ok I got a little bored and decided to open that little filter fox for the air system and I found it totally packed with weeds and bugs and crap, Do they even make a filter for the thing anymore? Or should I just delete that system all together?

Yes I know what it does, I have no emissions check here in Vernal, so no worries.

Ok, I KNOW it goes into the airbox but I cant find where it actually takes the air in...

 

heres a reference photo for where all smog equipment goes.

 

You mean the air filter in the front of the engine???

 

Epic Win lol Does that include the EGR system as well?


And no its a little box inside the engine bay by the AFM

 

Holy crap, I found my brake problem, the rotor is VERY warped on the front!

 

Holy crap, I found my powerband problem. I'm still running the factory ECU!

 

Holy Crap...




Umm...



I've got nothing...

 

you've got bigger problems then that.

 

lol Well. The Z is staying parked then. atm I dont have money to fix it

 

Am I missing a Z-tube?

 

HAHA that's funny! Bluekitsune (sorry if I messed that up. I have horrible memory) you should just put in the cold air intake and get rid of that bulky box.

 

lol And ya I should but I have to tear apart the entire underside of my Z and fix the suspension, bushings, bearings, brakes, and finally the exhaust

 

I hear ya on that. I have a ton of stuff to do to mine too. I already have the exhaust though. I wanna redo part of the header though. Where the pipes connect to one is where I wanna start. That little collector is way too small. I'm gonna make it match the 2 1/2 " exhaust.

 

A lot of my exhaust has cracks around 90% of the welds, so I'm getting quiet a bit of exhaust in the car.

 

cough cough... lol I bet

 

lol. ya Stock exhaust has to go very soon. That Z needs to be entirely torn down and rebuilt >.<

 

Just stick to you plans and fix the most pressing issues first. There is a Z in a yard in North Salt Lake that has headers on it (or it should still be there). Might be a quick, cheaper fix to your problem... would just need an 18 dollar manifold gasket...

 

Ya true on that. And when I get the money, I'm headed out to Salt Lake and will probably pick up quite a few parts.
