Hey guys, after the thread i started awhile ago asking for the bhp advice i've decided what i want to go for as the final aim. I was going to start the work now but because i want to go to japfest i've decided to delay it until june so i do everything properly and at one time only, should be finished by mid/end of july as i've only got saturdays and sundays to work on it.

 

I will post pics here of the parts and the engine rebuilding when i start,

Like i mentioned in the other thread my aim is 500+ at the flywheel .

Started the work last week sunday and today half a day job each. i only have the sundays to do zed work as im busy during all the other days. As i mentioned the last owner bought the pistons/rods, i didn't know the make and i can say i was well impressed by them today and they look new, the pistons are CP too :D

 

im glad most parts are off now so i can check the piston size , portwork, polish,3 angle valve job etc with time. the crankshaft also had work done.

 

here are a few pics :

well done, thats going to be one fast Z, roughly how long do you think till its finished? of course it all depends on machining etc.

thanks and hopefully i'll see those numbers off : ) . Jaffa the bodykit was already stuck in and not just screwed in and i've had it for about 3 years so i just decided to blend everything this year and get rid of the lines as i like the smoothed in look : )
