So I'm finally going to start work on getting the zed back on the road, I've decided the best way to tackle the mystery problem I have is to just pull the engine and rebuild it.

 

I'm not seeking big power, I was hoping with a remap from Noz 400BHP. Should be more than enough.

 

As it happens I'm going to New York sometime in the near future so was hoping to take advantage of that and buy some bits from Z1 and then bring them back in my case, avoiding postage and customs costs. (already spoke to the hotel and to Z1, both parties don't see a problem with this)

 

I've made a quick wishlist but I could be missing something, what do you think?

 

 

Also I'm not exactly sure of the history of the car, there were some questionable mods fitted when I first got it so I'm not sure what's inside the engine, so was maybe thinking of waiting till it's in bits before ordering the engine bearings or piston rings.

 

As always any input is greatly appreciated.

You need two O2 sensors.

 

I personally wouldn't bother with the knock sensor, you'll be running it on 99RON and a specified boost level with a 40% increase in power & torque over stock levels. Put the money towards a proper knock detection system.

 

As you've said, stave off buying the piston rings & bearings until you know which sizes you require.

 

Get in touch when you remove your injectors as I supply full injector rebuild kits including pintle caps which you may damage upon removal :D

Cheers noel, I figured I'd need 2 lambda's. And the car hasn't had a working knock since I've owned it but for £65 with a new harness I thought 'what the hell' but wasn't aware there were other means for detecting knock. I'll leave that for now then.

 

Am I missing anything else though? I'll get a new timing belt too, but that was changed by Jeff last year. Need to check with him if he changed the water pump too.

 

Was guna get the turbo's reconned and do the plenum water bypass too.
