Hmmm what to do with these?

[mx-3_4evr]

Beautiful!!!!!!!!! Such a piece of art man! Make sure you synchronize them before you go out and start tunning. Keep us updated on the progress

Thanks Antonio
I left a reply on ur thread asking how you synced them :p

ITBz Update

Here is the latest as the saga continues.
Like sands through the hourglass so goes my build.

The zm head is torqued down,I checked it for piston clearance and all
seems well.Cams installed with new cam seals, valve seals replaced and
valve clearance shimmed.
Installed the valve cover,replaced crank seal,pulled the oil dipstick tube out and resealed it.
Ordered a 1.6 timing belt as the 1.5 belt is too short.
Installed the header and o2 sensor.
Came up with an answer for the throttle cable.It was actually a PITA to sort out but it works good .
Next is wiring the injectors,mounting the coil,regulator,running fuel lines and mounting a filter,fabbing a vacuum resevior,pcv system of some kind blah blah blah.

Update and more pictarz

Getting the plumbing done,fuel is ready and i added a filter .
I wired in the injectors and TPS .
I had to make a new bracket for the coil and FPR.
Also to provide brakes i did up a diy ressie and ran a line from the booster.
I need to make a small vacuum manni for the ITB,z and port them to the resevoir.
Its almost ready to fire up.
The T-belt and velocity stacks havent showed up yet though..
Im now considering air box vs filters too.To boost it Ill need an air box,but
to run it ill need filters.Boosting is a long way off and Id like to see how it does NA.
More later..............

Bumpdate

Today I made the small vacuum manifold,recycled the hose from the booster
to use the check valve.
I also fired up the fuel pump to check the fuel system---no leaks

[Beerizfood]

The flimsy tab holding the vacuum manni to the VC wasnt cutting it so today
I made up a plate to mount all the jazz to .Its cut from a scrap piece of CF I had laying around.
The stacks showed up today but no T-belt.
I gonna try using a spare purge valve for bypass air .
The Brake boost line was giving me grief trying to route it .
The hole in the plate keeps it where it needs to be and makes it dissappear.

ITBz Update

Things are shapin up.Ive been waiting on the silicon couplers and band clamps to arrive.On the past weekend I installed the T-belt ,bolted it all up and fired the contraption up.It runs! It was crazy rich and I noticed on MS that the MAP was off the hook.The vacuum lines at the bodies were too large and leaked vacuum .Ive since aquired some smaller tubing and ordered some smaller brass barbs for the vacuum manifold to accomodate them.
Exhaust sounds better too with that header.
Here are a few pics,shown is the airbox in progress.
Thanks HENCHMAN for the velocity stacks they fit teh awesome!
The open end will have a removable cap for future access into the airbox.
Video will come once I get it running reasonable.
Oh ya and the ZM HEADSWAP is a success!Only hitch was the crank pulley had to be swapped out for the 1.6 one as the cam gears are smaller on the
zm cams.

Z5,ZM Topend,GSXR itbz Running w/Video

After some minor issues and the usual bugz ,its alive!
I couldnt pull any vacuum and it wouldnt run,After redoing the vacuum manifold (cracked between fittings) and installing check valves from the ITBz
I was able to generate realistic vacuum.The set up does require a very precisely metered bypass air which I need to work on.
I also had a fuel leak develop at the rail which is now fixed and fuel pressure
sender located back at the regulator.
The ZM 1.6 head is working too,I still gotta finish the air box yet and find a place for the factory temp gauge sender which has no provision on the new head to thread in.Oh ya and seal up the exhaust lol.

very nice. coming along great

Update Air box and Gauges

Here are a few pics of the latest progress.
Mini 1 1/2 inch vacuum gauges to sync/monitor the throttle bodies.
Also here is the finished airbox.4 plate type things were added to mount the
velocity stacks to the ABS pipe.The end cap is clear lexan which was the only plastic I has laying around large enough to make a 4" round piece out of.
The end cap is there in case I have to go back inside the airbox for any reason.

how did you run you ignition?im planin on doing the zm head swap can i use my z5 dist.?if not what do i use?and did you use the zm cams too?

In this particular setup I was using Megasquirt for EFI control.The MS system was using an EDIS module from an escort.The signal was generated off the crank using the stock crank sensor and a 36-1 toothed wheel that I installed on the crank pulley.
I have since sold the MS computer and now have it running on the OEM computer.The ignition source is the Z5 dizzy .It bolts right up to the ZM head
but you must use the end cap from the z5 head at the distributor and the z5 valve cover.The only issue was the two drive dogs on the dizzy itself,They were a little short for the ZM cam(I used the ZM cams).I ended up extending the drive dogs approx 1/8" by welding to the bottom of the dogs and grinding the weld to shape.Works good.
