The Wife's new heart

Old Skool

I was tired of the ER-Turbo burning exhaust valves, so I decided to rebuild a Z6 and throw a little whine into her

looks really good man is it all painted or raw? and i love the valvecover is that a euro thing or did you make it?

bam-bam

Very nice, man! Seems the new engine bug is in the air, hope it's contagious.

Me too Bam
The charger and valvecover are powder coated, aswell as the pan, the block is stripped and painted with Alluminum blast engine paint, aswell as most of the other stuff (dist/s-2000 throttlebody/water neck/fuel rail and regulator). The valve cover is stock, I just machined off the "honda motor co" logo and a few mounting bolts

Fantastic work.
I have a question though, was the plastic timing belt cover painted as well?
(as paint never seems to stay on those things for long)

kylerwho

So what did that charger setup cost you? I was thinking of ebay turbo'ing my d15(4-5 pounds), or jackson charging it. Cant find that kit anywhere!

I traded a Pro Compustar Alarm/Starter with all the bells and whistles installed

Thanks for all the compliments.. I spent yesterday re-assy the tranny with a new Quaife Diff.. just waiting on the brackets from the powder coaters and then back into the car..
