did u cut ya hair??????????????????????........................ ...........

 

Waaaiiit n00b question....

Do I need springs and shims with rev-up cams? I'm only going to 6550rpms....

 

No. If you were going higher than 7000rpm then its recommended.

 

That's what I thought, either a cam w/ massive lift or high revs is when I need to upgrade 'em... Just makin' sure.

 

Any more shots of the parts or the empty engine bay?

 

This been a good read...

 

Motor going in yet?

 

Tonight, I brought a lot of stuff to do some work on the body this weekend not realizing it was new years weekend, needless to say I'm still recovering from this weekend

Thanks

Nope, waiting on my mechanic to finish the work on it, then I'll just drop it in and attempt to start it, I forsee me failing and having to ask more questions on how to get it running

 

sound like your talking f20c power

 

Hell yeah

What car do you own these days?

 

So you gonna go wit the HR pistons or what? Or just stock pistons out the 02-03 DE? Probably workin on it right now lol.

 

Nope, changed routes again, the core 02 motor we have is F U B A R E D, only good for someone wanting to do a complete crazy motor build. The motor consumed all of it's oil and then seized up. I was going to use the core motor we had in stock and get HR pistons because I was going to tear the block down anyways, but I decided against it.

Now....

Updates as the people needed....

Not pictured but do have.... Chopped up harness from a MT Z, needed for plugs to get my reverse lights working (well not needed, but I like that OEM look) and the gear sensor thingy (throws a ghost code for it, but I think it's only used to limit cruise control to 85... I like setting cruise @ 100mph....), a new (not reman) GMB Water Pump from Advance, that stuff is @ the mech's shop along with the Z UIM, Q45 TB and motor of course....

Onto the photos you guys crave for


-Because I do not trust anything on my old cooling system, semi new radiator+fans from meximax's old car ...and oil for the Accord



-I Don't think anyone has seen my crossmember, this is concrete glue from home depot filling a broken $20 ebay front mount, an aluminum rear mount and (not pictured) ES crossmember bushings. Shifts are so silky smoov

any pics of the Z33 IM with the Q45 TB....or isn't finished yet??

 

Interesting mounts haha

 

you're welcome.

 

Not finished yet.

Indeed, but get the job done very well, shoulda came like this from the factory

I'm surprised you didn't quote something else I said above...

 

You might as well. 6550 will not be enough, you will want to rev it out to 7200 at least.

 

I will not have the means to rev it higher than stock, nor will I do anything about it, this is a quick, cheap, get my fckn car back on the road better than it was build, a far cry from what I wanted.

 

meh, i called you out on fb already, lol

 

BUT but but....
LOL, jus messin wit ya.

 

he stole my prototype solid mount design -_-

 

This 3.0L timing swap ain't as cheap as people claim it is

I'm a little bit over a grand into this now -__-
I coulda had me a nice lil altima motor with this much $$$ and nothing to tune it with

 

Ive been revving to 7200 in my Z since about 2008 on stock internals and been fine. I even sprayed a 125 shot up there. Thats why I decided not to do springs and shims in my GF's motor with the BC2's. I did install ARP rod bolts though.

 

What did you buy for the 3L timing?

 

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Infinity-I30...#ht_2733wt_897

The parts are from a manufacturer called "Evergreen"

This seller has the most history on this item sold and so far so good.

I also brought a New GMB Water Pump from Advanced for like $40

 

Car runing yet?

 

Nope, no engine (still @ the shop waiting on the mechanic to swap the timing over, I'm also screwed because I bent the teeth on the FW that's the REAL problem).

Just doing little chores to bide my time around the car.



That 'ish was all black before, took 4hrs to get it that way and it's still nowhere near clean.

I'm buying a lower mileage powersteering pump to go with the new hose, I do NOT want any more leaks after cleaning that mess up.

 

That looks pretty good still.... I always grit my teeth during oil changes when I'm under the car and see something and I'm like, 'how long has THAT been leaking?!?' and either don't have the time to fix it or the energy until it becomes the VC, PS pump and the rack (big mistake letting that start leaking lol)....

That's going to be a fun ride when you wrap it up though...

Swapped yet?

 

Thanks! I'm extremely motivated to just replace everything seals and all, I DO NOT want to be doing this again, this was more labor than taking the motor out

....ok not really, but still tiring....

No waiting to get the motor back from the mech's shop, I've given up on getting it soon so I'm buying a more reliable daily this weekend.

 

You swap bro?

 

Yup!


.....


.........


.............


I swapped cars.

 

You swapped?

 

....no....

 

So is the motor being torn down completely or just the timing components and cams swapped out?

 

Timing Swap + RevUp Cams
Sandblasted TC to black
350z UIM Mod (Chopping off elbow, matching 84mm ID pipe and Q45 TB flange).

That's it..... I'm going to start bothering him weekly once i get the white car squared away w/ basic maintenance....

 

why isn't this done yet, WTF have you been doing?

 

So is it swapped?

 

Me?

Selling a car
Buying a car
Fixing that car
Working
Going back to school
partying and getting drunk.

The usual....

Oh and then I have Import Faceoff on the 26th, the shop knows that too, so I will definitely have something to race then.

 

U got less then 24 hours..
