Nachtmensch: ZZW30

So, is the 2zz finally in?

 

Friend was supposed to come on Sunday with a heater and some extra hands to help. His car broke down (alternator bracket loosened and bolt stripped, looks like possibly a fried ECU)

I'm going to work on it tomorrow/today though.

 

oh hi

 

If its not done by tomorrow, I got the day off. I could always swing by.

 

work tomorrow, work saturday, st louis til monday night. probably tuesday or wednesday i'll finish it up.

 

got two OMP Grips

my [fat] cat like them

 

Your cat is getting hair all over them. :ermm:

 

lookin good

 

Hey... the motor runs.

Has some vacuum leaks where I need some plugs and clamps. Also need a 2zz serpentine belt and a intake filter that fits (ebay junk doesn't have couplers OR a filter that fits the pipe...) Should be on the road next week sometime when I get some money for that stuff and have time to finish it up.

 

Almost done. All cylinders. Still vacuum leaks, still 87 octane in it, (gas went up 40 cents out of nowhere ) still untuned and very very rich. (now larger injectors, making that problem worse), but you get the idea.

No vacuum leaks, 93 octane, and runs 100% better. Still need to do the idle initialization with the PFC as well as bleed coolant. That's tomorrow's work.

 

awesome! sounds pretty.

 

Out of the garage. Sounds dope at higher RPM. Just need a PowerFC Datalogit before I get it tuned and beat on it

By the way, I dodn't remember it being so low... I can barely see under it when I try to see what I got caught on (it was a 2x4)

 

Fighter pilot

 

Badass.

i had my volume low and it was still loud, lol. must sound awesome out on the open track at WOT. :rocks:

 

did some tuning today. the high cam doesnt, switch over but still made 185whp at about 6400rpm. Not bad at all for a 1.8L that doesnt have the big cam yet

Stay tuned


or don't.

no real progress this week, but I am enjoying driving it

 

Got some toe rods, since the passenger's side was bent. Then lowered the car some more. Also realized my passenger's side CV boot is leaking again.... They don't like being this low. Makes it the 4th boot to rip.
