Blown Motor, Engine Rebuild/Replacement.

Good time to check the plastic intake manifold for cracks.

Well I made a little more progress today along with purchasing a Aeromotive 11142 Fuel Pump....

Those dyno graphs look really nice.. I would switch kits if I could a decent amount for my gtm TT kit but I really doubt it...

Makings some good progress

Any other suggestions on parts before the new engine goes back in? Was considering different motor mounts..??

I was actually going to suggest this earlier, but I forgot. Do the motor mounts. I wish I had done them with my install. Once the motor is in, there's too much turbo plumbing in the way to swap them out easily. Do the tranny mount too, although that one is apparently an easy DIY with everything in place. Also, consider swapping the heater hoses out for the Z1 silicone ones for longevity purposes.

Another thought- what about the Nismo oil pump? That way you can raise the redline and not have to worry about the OEM pump puking its guts out at 8k rpm.

COSMO · 12-13-2013, 08:29 AM

It's funny you mention the oil pump because PHUNK is currently working on one from a GTR for that very same reason.
Please excuse my ignorance but how will the solid motor mounts help??

Oh, I wouldn't go with the solid ones unless it's a race car. I'll be going with the poly ones from Z1. On every car I've put them on, harder motor and trans mounts just tightened up the feel of the entire drivetrain. It's a noticable difference. There's just less slop. On/off throttle transitions don't have to compress the soft stock mounts anymore before the power reaches the wheels.

Hey thanks chuck, I will go ahead and order them do you have a link?

Chuck33079 · 12-13-2013, 08:37 AM

Not offhand, but I'm sure you've got a link to Z1 on your computer already. We all do.

COSMO · 12-13-2013, 08:45 AM

Found them, and here is a link for others who may need them..

Hey as long as you're in there: upgrade the oil pump to the Nismo one that doesn't grenade at high RPMs, and you may as well put in a fresh water pump while doing that too, give you more miles before you have to open that front timing chain cover again.

Chuck33079 · 12-13-2013, 09:32 AM

Are you going to need bigger injectors?

Boosted Performance · 12-13-2013, 09:32 AM

On the head studs...L19's are a must on built motors IMO. Not a bad deal here:

ARP VQ37VHR L19 Head Studs

Too many guys on the VQ35 have gone with VHR head studs, or L17's, only to have head lift issues as soon as they get off the dyno.
