Some Progress!

[John Dixon]

Not on my engine, but Leigh's (one of the the other Z32's I'm doing - 3 now). Finally started to get it built back up yesterday after the heads returned from proting. Would have got further, but can't find the bolts that hold the exhaust cam sprockets on - imagine using M7!! Still, it's only prevented the covers being tightened up.

Oh so clean ... looks so pretty. The dyno sheet will be prettier .

[John Dixon]

Dyno should be interesting although this is the tame one: standard bottom end, ported / flowed heads, IR intake and custom headers with 258° cams and emerald management.

Tame is good for the street. Love performance, but 13 mpg would be tough to tolerate.

Also looking forward to dyanmometer graph.

Its purty indeed! Cant wait to see how they actually work

looking great John....I am leaving for London Nov. 16th for 4+ weeks so if you need something that I can easily carry over with me so you don't have to pay import duty taxes let me know asap.

cheers..rob

[John Dixon]

Thanks for the offer Rob, but I think I've got everything from the US side now. Unless you can come across a cheap 2nd hand set of the cut-out covers off the rocker boxes (the ali ones that you can remove to see the cams). If not I'll just knock some up out of sheet.Cheers

John - are you getting your core engines from the US or locally?

[John Dixon]

From japan. Works out cheaper for me, and usually low milage too.

[RobertsnewQ]

Do they ever come with ECUs? I'm trying to find a JDM ECU to read...

[John Dixon]

Afraid not! Could probably get one for you if you wanted though, would need to check it out.

[Ezekial]

John that looks awesome!!

Are the front covers coated or painted in anything?

Or just some time spent in the bath?

[John Dixon]

They were just bead blasted to clean them up, do look pretty good actually.
