hi all,

 

Not had much to post since my zed engine went wrong, smoking badly when revved and 4 outta 6 pistons giving good compression other 2 75 and 0 nearest the windscreen im told its the head gasket but i dont know and here in northwales nobody here to take a look :( the car is a uk tt 1992 model run fine till this little disaster....

 

For about 2 years i been running a ecu upgrade chip which i got from america but the big question is will this fit my recently purchased japanese import 1991 tt ?

 

cheers guys thank in advance

with a 0 reading I'd be suprised if it was just the headgasket tbh. I would get the car to one of the 300zx specialists garages.

 

ECU will be fine, providing its mapped for the same gearbox type (auto/manual) as your car, although if you are unsure of its details it might just be worth going for a UK mapped ECU from one of the specialists...prices range from £75-£100

what RON would an american chip be set up for do you think?

Does not sound like a headgasket. Sounds you have 1 or more bad valves, could have floated....

 

The ECU should work fine; Who tuned the ECU?? Jim Wolfe Technologies??

cheers guys, im gonna give ma new chip ago see what happens, my old z thats broke im gonna strip it down bit by bit
