This is the spec ive gone for, for now , to answer your queries :-)
z18xe short motor, bare, std spec.
x2 45mm jenvey parrallel throttle bodies kit with 90mm ram pipes
C20XE Cream injectors, reconditioned
Bowyer throttle linkage and inlet manifold
MBE 967 ECU and custom made loom
ARP Conrod Bolts
FSE Fuel Pressure Regulator w. gauge
F15CR 3.94 FD Gearbox
Helix cover plate; rest O.E spec. Clutch kit
GTE/GSi 8v Flywheel
Obviously not many/any(?) z18xe on t.bs in a near std. spec so little to go on to guess outputs.. but hope for 130+ lbft torque, 160+ bhp.
In future ill sort cams, headwork, peko injectors to finish on, hopefully, 150lbft 180bhp.
Sounds like a awesome spec. Should sound preety cool too!
When you planning to take the car off the road (presuming it isnt already) and do the engine change?
^^ very soon. Next weekend i hope to move the nova into our unit and make a proper start on the conversion. Im kinda stuck until bowyer provides the last of the bits i ordered. Which should be this week.
The rest of the weekend (here n there) was spent polishing! woop.

The longish wait for the parts has allowed me to do a bit more tarting-up to the engine than i thought id do. But all good, anyway.
Dave you'll be turning into Benn! Looking good though!
will you run a single v lower pulley and alternator set up? or the stuff off the 1.4.
..was planning stuff off the 1.4.. should be the same aint it??
Yeah will be the same. Does it currently rub the chassis leg on the oe mounts?
not that i can see.. ive not used the car in anger yet tho.
Mind you ive got uprated mounts now; theyre not the £150 top solid jobbies but a sub £100 inbetween version. But yeah, that should help keep it away from catching.
Sounds good, iirc there was a good gap anyway. You sourcing the mbe via mr bowyer?
