Ian C Posted December 2, 2006 Share Posted December 2, 2006 That bit you call the PCV valve is in fact the idle air control valve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted December 2, 2006 Author Share Posted December 2, 2006 Finally got it running today Cheers Wez for stopping by and getting it on video, its great to have an extra set of hands to help out! Just had to hook up the BOV pressure line (ran out of black pipe so used some blue silicon pipe for now) and fill it with oil. Before starting the turbo needed primed, after some advice from Ian C, did it as follows: - Remove the 3 plugs to the igniter (mounted on top of the passenger wheel arch. not sure if it's there on the UK's though). - Disconnect the power plug to the fuel pump - Crank engine over. - Disconnect the oil feed on top of the turbo It took a good 20 seconds of turning it over for the oil to start coming out of the oil feed pipe. Once it was there, the pipe was reconnected and the engine turned over for another 10 seconds or so. This allows Now its ready to fire up, simply reconnect the fuel pump plug and igniter leads, then start it up Hopefully the video comes out alright Here's the final pic of the engine bay, it's not likely to change from this for a while now. http://img408.imageshack.us/img408/2595/forum98zx2.th.jpg http://img408.imageshack.us/img408/940/forum99oz4.th.jpg After a short test drive a couple of issues have come up: 1) There is an oil leak from the sump plug (easily fixed) 2) There appears to be a leak on one of the gaskets, but we're not sure which one. I suspect its the exhaust gasket which is going to be a pita to fix 3) The exhaust is too low and is catching on speed bumps... more adjustments to the downpipe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the pipework just slipped inside it so with a bit of hammering it was easy to get it all test fitted without the needs for tac welding anything prior to going to the welders. Good news on you one, about bloody time that part turned up! Trust me, its worth all the effort just for the sound Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks mate. The fuel pipe I'm using came with the XS power kit, but if I were buying new I'd only ever use http://www.thinkauto.com Just specifiy size, lenght and usage and they'll sort you out, call them if you're not sure exactly what you need.

Homer Posted December 2, 2006 Author Share Posted December 2, 2006 So wwhen are the injectors going in Darryl?? Tomorrow???? lol, not likely now! Need to fix the oil leak tomorrow, then put a few miles on it Will be taking the downpipe out on Monday for yet another modification so the exhuast isn't so low. If all goes well, the injectors and ECU might go in next weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
