<![CDATA[My Z]]>Only mere hours of work away from running. Figured id wait until its this far to even bother to show everyone.

things left; transmission, driveshaft, E-fan hooked up, run boost gauge vacum through firewall, install "turbo 3000" plenum cover, put hood on, fill with fluids. And exhaust

Its currently on jackstands again haha, was running it with 10 pounds of boost on the auto trans, it finally gave. The transmission was slipping even before it was built up so im not suprised, I sent the trans off to New jersey to a place called "Level ten performance" They are going to build it up for me so I can put more power down, ive recently aquired a Holset HX35, 460cc injectors, soon going to be getting my NIStune. Just stock piling for my next go at it, im interested to see what im going to be able to do with it in the quarter mile once I get it down to branson in June. Im going to be back in fargo (I come back periodically for visits) in march 16th-25th...the trans will be back in and the car will be running around once more by then (by next week actually) so I may or may not drive the Z depending on weather and if I want to deal with riding in it for 9-10 hours.

Jeff

Your car look's clean and look's like you have done a lot to it.

CM performance 3in stainless 😎

Getting new CHTS and subharness thursday, I think there is some credibility to that being the problem because I started the Z today and it actually started, rough, but it was on. so I think once the CHTS is in and all taken care of it should smooth out.

I checked them and they "seem" to be connected well, they arent loose. any ideas?
Im thinking either boost leak possibly?
or, checking these particular connections and cleaning them all and making sure a GOOD connection is there

MAF
O2
CHTS
INJ
FICD
TPS

I am sure there will be plenty more street legals 🙂 and yes, it feels great to finally have it back in running order.

Got it running last night, no vids though, got an antifreeze leak, but that was expected. No other leaks as far as I can see, transmission sealed good, no oil, power sttering fluid. Turbo spools great and sounds great, working on installing a ford taurus fan for more cooling. No exhaust on it but am thinking of going with a 3in turbo back stianless. It was running pretty rough at first but after messing with the distributer and turning it, she smoothed out and sounds lovely.

I DO have a couple vids...but they are shitty cell phone vids...idk if they are worthy of posting up

Did you really just tell us you timed it based on sound? While that works great for a quick fix, you plan on using a timing light right?

Congrats on getting it running tho, must feel pretty good. Just missed the races tho 🙂
