Hello all.

I'am planing to change my engine and at same time a tranny con. What is the best way to do it? If possible i will change both at once. It means the tranny should be mounted to the engine. Is it space and clearance enough on the Z?

Thx a lot.

Welcome to the club Ralf and hopefully you will get some advice soon.

Refit the engine and then offer up the gearbox after.

Hi and welcome, Ralf - and JeffTT offers sound advice, after many many years of working on these cars.....:cool:

Welcome to the club

If you are doing it without a lift, then it can be easier to do the engine and gearbox in one, but you'll need to get the front end up on ramps to give enough clearance. Both options work, just depends how confident you are at lifting the gearbox into place lying on your back under the car.

Thx a lot all. Don't have a lift. So i will take a change to get it in together.

Engine and transmisson soon ready to mount:clap::clap::clap:

 

 

Nice job. I see you have BOV's fitted, are you using MAF or MAP for air measurement?

I'am using double MAF. But i'am not sure it's the best idea.

Two MAFs can be used with a Selin translator. Is that what you are using?

Using BOV's with MAFs is not a good idea. This link explains why:

Yes, using the Selin. Will also use the BOV`s as recirc BOV`s. I take this ones because they are adjustable.

The Selin is a supprisingly effective modification. What make are the BOVs?

The bov's are Greedy made .
