Sorry, all interior panels are beyond repair in my eyes, no boot blind and carpet is there but has to large cuts in it.

Forgot to look at these, they are still attached.

Happy Birthday Stuart, all the Best Man😁

Less than an hour or so later all the extras on the engine was stripped off too.

Engine was pulled today. This is becoming a more familiar setting in my garage than i want.

All fluids drained, harness off and pipes disconnected. Apart from taking it back off the jack stands we are ready to pull the engine again. Also tested the oil the came out the engine and no smell of fuel and also run a powerful magnet over everything and all was good on that too.

Here we go again, starter, prop and gearbox out !

Also seen about 5 different internal designs of the later series clocks.

There is a tiny bit of play with back and forth motion on the shaft but not side to side and there is no marks on the inner casing to suggest the spindle touched the casing.

All this to access the spindle's of the turbos.

A little more work on the zed again tonight, Had to get the exhaust and down pipes off so that i could inspect the turbos. Took me a quick 30 min to drop the exhaust but the down pipes took some more time as they were wrapped in fiber heat wrap which is simply the devils stuff and should be messed with. After all that was off it took an hour to remove 4 bolts and 4 nuts from the down pipes to get them off.

Also discovered a leak on the exhaust seals as some fluid poured out onto the floor. I plan to get a new exhaust as the flanges on a japspeed exhaust are terrible. Plan of attack at the moment is to get the exhaust off tomorrow and also try get the down pipes off to expose the turbos.

Some good news is i stripped the top side of the intake pipes and they were clean and dry.

Checking underneath i discovered oil residue on the turbo so at this point we have some sort of oil seal failure.

Got it back home and tonight i started to strip things down again. First get her back up on the stilts

However after the 4th run we lost a lot of power and the driver side turbo started to smoke. After this thinks just got worse as it went on until we just stopped the session

After the initial double checking and tightening of some bolts the first run went great as shown in this video 2023-08-28 10.20.16.mp4 At this point all was going great and the engine was smooth and sounding great.

So another small update on my engine and tuning sessions. Got the trailer loaded Sunday and headed off to Dyna Tune on Monday morning for a 9am start. After hooking everything up we were ready for close to 10am

Just shit turbos i think. Should have known to buy new than rebuild and old set.

Took my Zed to get tuned and we think we blew a turbo. Yeh, that happened today !
