Can I use this IM for ZE?

Hi guys, got a question for you. I'm trying to find a curved neck ZE here in Australia so I don't get raped for shipping costs from US and I'm having a lot of trouble. This intake manifold..is it usable? http://photos-e.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc1/hs023.snc1/4261_1113581413999_1660846170_346292_468...

Re: Oil in spark plug chamber!

I think you should be fine as long as you can set up a system that makes you remember what bolts go where once you pull them off.
The gaskets are simply seals...when you take off the covers you have to make sure that you scrape off as much of the old seal as you can!

Re: v6 but not preformance question

Don't bother..like you heard, regular services, fresh air intake (a cold air intake would help), spark plugs, leads things like that will improve your fuel economy.
Putting a turbo in there is not economically viable unless you're doing it for performance..not for your reasons.

melb30x: 1993 Eunos 30x

1993 Eunos 30x (K8) Alright so I've been floating around this forum for the last two years thinking of whether or not it's worth upgrading to KL-ZE or not...then whether to throw a turbo in there or not..and finally I've decided that (after seeing hundreds of youtube vids and reading se7en's and joh...

Re: Turbochaging K series motors - walkthrough
