Youre useing a Z6 timing belt right? It's looking pretty good, is that the block out of the wagovan?

 

[Ethan]

yes thank you and yes... lol

 

[GlassHeadlights]

yes thank you and yes... lol

Lol.

Get a timing belt cover on that motor and if you can, find a Y8 intake manifold. Power comes right when you hit the throttle vs. the A6 IM and I'm sure it would help a turbo too.

 

[Ethan]

bah i only like to have on the lower piece of the cover... but i am gonna get a y8 intake manifold. iv got the z6 intake manifold sitting in the garage.

 

[GlassHeadlights]

bah i only like to have on the lower piece of the cover.

You're a bag of douche.

 

[Ethan]

ok so i just got back from picking up my transmission. they pulled it off a sohc zc right in front of me for 200 bucks. shit is clean but it dont look like it was cleaned.

wish me luck!

 

[GlassHeadlights]

Noice.

 

[Ethan]

engine and tranny are in...

here is a list of what i can remember that i used or replaced.

d16a6 block
d16z6 vtec head
arp head studs
mls head gasket
light weight flywheel
exedy oem clutch
throwout bearing & pilot bearing
new water pump timing belt and tensioner
oil pan gasket
valve cover gaskets
intake and exhaust gaskets
throttle body gasket
sohc zc 5 speed transmission

temporary cheapo vtec timer should be in monday. ill use that till i have the money to convert to obd1 and run a p28 ecu.

 

[GlassHeadlights]

Damn ming, that's so close to my motor. But a mini me is a mini me. I'm pumped.

 

[Ethan]

are you running the p28 or a vtec timer?

 

[Ethan]

its running... pretty damn good too!

 

[Ethan]

well its running pretty good for the fact i haven't fine tuned the timing and i have a broken injector. looks like my mls head gasket didn't do the trick though. i have some steam coming out of the exhaust. i think im gonna pull the head off and just use a regular d16z6 head gasket.

 

[92stoccord]

I'm getting the feeling I'm not going to be able to afford getting into B series, so I think I"m gonna start learning about the D's. So now I'm interested lol. Keep up the good work. What did the motor run you?

 

[Ethan]

all together the head and block cost me 100 bucks.

now im having axle issues...

 

[92stoccord]

Dang, did you rebuild?

 

[GlassHeadlights]

Which MLS headgasket did you use?

When I used my first MLS gasket I went another 8ft pounds after specs for a Z6.

Maybe you put the head studs in wrong?

And of course I did the OBD1 swap, I don't do hack jobs. *wink wink*

 

[Ethan]

lol i went the specs of the arp website. and i used the elcheapo mls from egay...

 

[efhondakid]

Use the Honda HG and the studs get threaded in hand tight and the nuts get torqued to 65ft/lbs IIRC.
