Some of you may know already, me, DarrenB and Modjo also known as ZBoosters undertook another boosting project, this time Ian's 350z. Everything happened last weekend during a 24 hours marathon, with no stopping, as we do usually
Me and Modjo started early morning on Saturday, Darren was due to join us about noon. So we start by putting the car on the ramp and stripping the front end.
and we've drained the oil and coolant
When then prepared the oil pan spacer and the oil pick up spacer
Ian / mouthwash turned up while we were removing the plenum so we can do the spark plugs, injectors and fuel return system.
We found a little bit of oil in the top driver said spark plug area:
Fuel rails removed so we can change the injectors
Fitted the UpRev GT MAF sensor onto the charge pipe:
and test fitted the snail on the bracket
Oil sump fitted and also we fitted one of the decats which Ian had a problem with it so he gave up and brought it over to us to do it Obviously, our very talented exhaust specialist, Modjo successfully undertook the job
By 7:30pm Darren turned up after a nightmare of a day. He couldn't find the fuel pump he had with him for this job and he went down the Zed Shed guys to borrow one.
We also found out that Tarmac not only did not supply a 3.12" pulley as requested by Ian, but assumed that the idler pulley supplied in a separate bubble wrap envelope was the one we needed, although there was no ribs on it as it should. But, luckily, Uncle Keyser had a 2.87" pulley laying around so we borrowed that and the car is now doing some serious power. Dyno is finished, but will let Ian / mouthwash disclose the numbers.
Right, back to our story, Darren started modifying the fuel bucket which we've removed earlier on from the car so we can fit the new fuel pump and fuel return system.
New injectors in:
It was already 9:30pm when the food turned up:
