BGTV8 VQ40HRGA Race engine build

BGTV8

Update

So finally got our patch harness finished and bench checked. Has only take 14 weeks ............... Jeez .......
Car on the dyno tomorrow to run the VQ37VHR engine with the M150 and and tune for best output, and then we will fit the ITB kit and see what difference that makes. I'll then bring the car home to run for a few weeks before sending it back into the shop to upgrade the fuel system, final assembly for the new engine (heads not yet assembled and on the short yet), fit the new engine and Quaife sequential, run the new engine in and try a few power runs to see how close we have come to target.

This project has already run for 2+ years ........... pharque

Seems like this project will be finished when you're in the grave, and handed over to the grandkids.

I'm determined to get it finished .... problem is that I'm working 2 hours flying time from home and it chews up so much time.

My Z34 has been in the shop since late June and was supposed to be all done by now but the guy doing the patch harness has been the delay ... he suffered a serious illness and then had a bout of regret and wanted a waiver because his harness was going into a car that would remain registered and that caused him a pile of issues. I had to draft up a waiver to go onto his invoice before he would release the harness .....

Anyway, on the dyno this morning with the M150 running the standard engine and then we'll put the ITB kit on and find out just how constrained the OEM engine is on the inlet side ...

I'll take the car back for 6 weeks to drive it and debug the Motec is required, and then the real fun starts with completing the 4.0 assembly and fitting it.

That is the real reward.
