There is a stock one. There's a line that runs to and from the radiator for the 7at trans fluid.


Couldn't find any install instructions for a cooler but it looks like it'd be just rerouting to a cooler than back to the rad or viseversa.

On the mounts, it's all about being able to feel the car better. There's a certain amount of flex between the trans and engine themselves, even, and there's a fair amount of flex in the mounts of both to the frame of the car. When you're trying to control traction at the limit, it's all about being able to "feel" the car.

Basically your butt planted in the seat is getting feedback from the car. Your gas pedal is input to the car. The brake pedal and steering wheel are dual-purpose, they're inputs and you also feel feedback through them. In the same way that stiffer suspension makes that feedback loop work better for corner forces, stiffer motor/trans mounts make it work better for wheel slip during acceleration. You'll feel the direct impact of your gas pedal and steering angle adjustments under acceleration faster and more accurately (back through your butt and the steering wheel), so that you can make better and faster adjustments to keep it right where it should be.

The motor mounts are kind of a bitch to install with the engine in the car. I mean, it's doable, but it would be so much easier to do it while the engine's out. The trans mount you could do anytime, it's very trivial and nothing really comes out of the car to do it.

Not sure how stiffer motor mounts would feel on a Z, but on my Evo, I had the front and rear mounts changed to 90A poly ones, and it caused strong cabin vibrations. I imagine the Z would absorb more of that however.

Firmer mounts = more vibration... also I have seen a few broken solid mounts for the Z, so I'd do some extra research before buying...

In theory, it's less torque lost and thus faster driveline response. You won't see it on a dyno, but as wstar noted, you will FEEL it when you throttle on.

At idle you'll feel it too, tho'...

If you don't mind some extra vibration, and they won't crack, sure why not?

replace a valve head
 

Your not on the drag racing list. So did you damage the head road racing? I would get something/do something so the valve head won't get damaged again. Not easy to damage a valve head. What happened?

The Z1 Urethane versions aren't too bad. The car doesn't seem to be trying to shake itself apart or anything. But then again my car environment is pretty harsh in general, maybe I'm not the best judge :)

The last dealer to work on it dropped a manifold nut into the head and lunched a valve.

Wow! They had to try hard to do that:)

How do you know?

He's got a long thread on it.

You lost me at. "My motor is dropped" o,o
Ummm don't forget to change the oil ?

?

My motor is currently outside the car
And man I'd LMAO if they don't change the oil.

Lol, I'm just a noob when it comes to car parts especially the engine haha

You should install the Momentum headers I was unable to get off in time......

Why not straight to F.I. LTH?

FARK!!!

Welllllllll... I like the ability to go from TPs to cats and such...
