Pulled out the entire AC and Heater core to shave weight. Dynamatted over the holes with high heat insulation to keep heat out the engine bay.


And here is the visual under the dash after everything has gone bye bye.



Some before and after on the lite intercooler porting I did.



And some final shots of the engine before install. Note - plenum is a donor...the plenum going on is nice chrome one. Looped the rear water lines that go to the heater hose since no more heater core. Other than that...just slap on the downpipes and we are gravy.






The rest of my pics are in my link.

 

looks like fun

how much weight did you lose?

what's the details on this motor? What turbos, etc? Anyhitng new and special? I see you're repping tt.net.....where's the zdriver rep?

 

haha those TT/net stickers are 10 HP a piece. jk. nice instal. lots of work money and time. props to you. but what have you done to the motor. whats the final goals?

 

Short block - Overbored .20 Wiseco piston w/eagle rods that were cryogened.
Total seal pistons, Z31 rod bearings and ARP hardware to button the short block.

Heads - port/polished heads, 5 angle valve job. Stock cams and cam gears though . Solid lifters and titanium retainers. Tomei head gasket. Stock manifolds that were ported, but waiting on MS manifolds....wrapped them though.

Ported upper to lower plenum
Ported and de-kinked all turbo piping.
Turbos - 550 ball bearings
New harness and sensors all around.
740cc injectors
And a bunch of other stuff that I can't remember.

 

nice pics, hope you the best...........

 

The red bolt heads are a nice touch.

 

Thanks folks. Planning on dropping it in tommorow with some other local San Antonio guys. Gotta just slap the engine in and hook up the tranny and everything. After that I'll just take my time and double/triple check everything. Should be finished around the end of January or so. We will see. I've learn to be patient as it's take 16 months to get to this point. *sigh*

 

we'll want updates along the way. Fantastic Z.
