Granted there's a lot more back story behind the motor that I won't bother with at the moment, but did you have any issues getting your engine combination of the swap + tall cams to work. What cams did you go with?

What pistons did go with and any custom specs/mods done?

All details are in the previous Megan Journal.

giving a short answer. Vhr crank/ vhr rod / hr piston .. some grinding on the piston because some hit the piston oil jets and a couple piston touch the crank
.. im talking about 1-2mm of grinding...

If you would have followed my previous journal... I didnt went with the cams .. due to some 0ersonnal issue . One of the bigest was the wife leaving and having a bunch of debts...

now things changed and will see later on what im doing N/a or turbo.

A week after my road trip with the new aero kit, I had the motivation to start on the new splitter project.

After quite a bit of research and different idea on what I had in mind when I did the front bumper overlay. The splitter project is finally taking form!!!

Splitter 2011/2012 Vs 2014 , We thought my first one was big at 73'' wide ??
The 2014 one is 84'' wide !

Making sure the bumper fit properly with the new splitter shape. It was fitted together first on the Z before this picture.

Template screwed down to make a copy !
Yup you got it. I will be able to make duplicated faster. This is just One part of the splitter since its gonna be a 2 parts splitter which doesn't include some more aero part that will be fitted on top later on.

This picture is just to show how the old splitter was with the stock front bumper.

Last, the old splitter with the aero wide bodykit.

How deep under the car does the new one go? Does it completely replace the undertray (and re-use mounts?)

Its pretty much goes right pass the center of the axles by about 2 inch if I recall correctly. The reason for it was to make an enclosure to diffuse more air into the brakes.

As for the mount you are talking about, no ! hehe
there will still only be 6 link holding it,
4 to the frame and the 2 normal front one ...

On the picture below, if you look at the rear of the new splitter, you will see 3 slots cut into it, the middle one is the front jacking point if I endup using this instead of my new side mount by the door for what ever reason.
The 2 slots on either side are for the jack stand.

That is so awesome

New bumper beam completed!
It wasn't easy to weld some aluminum tubing to a 3/8 plate with only 120amp ! Because if I was using more Amp. the breaker would pop ;/ I got to find an adapter 120V to 220V. The old bumper beam was taking to much space and who really need a bumper in Time Attack anyway ???

You can also see the new splitter is now finish and riveted to the bumper which will have some quick release assembly for easy mounting !
It should be completed tomorrow *cross finger*

What is the secret behind moving the radiator Like you did? Are you going to give your hood some buck teeth for lower under hood temps?

gaining space between the radiator & oil cooler to the engine for a future project which include a PT6266 front center mount

in the very beginning when I titled the radiator it was to make a closed vent ducting from the bumper thru the radiator and exit into a modded hood. the other related project was boxing up the intake filters tube to work as a ram effect on top of the radiator box but as time goes I am ditching the N/A solution for F/I.

I'm currently waiting for some funds to go forward on this. I contacted a vendor here to work out on a deal for a bunch of stuff that he was originally interested but hasn't replied for a while now so I also need to look for another good vendor.

Hey I'm subscribing to this build thread too. It just keeps getting better and better. I can't wait to see it go out and see what it can do. I am going to TMP this weekend to watch the last CSCS again. I was out with my 370 at TMP a few weeks ago and saw some crazy cars.

I was suppose to show up this weekend at the last CSCS event but something changed and I haven't really touch the Z since over a week now.

I'm ready to move the Z to a dedicated garage where I will be able to work on the Z and pull the engine for some modding. Because I cant do this in my driveway due to rules and regulation on base military housing.

It seem like I pulled the trigger on the next winter project.
Some parts should be home in the next couple weeks !

I've been told that thing is slightly better than a Turbonator !
It will also blow more air in than a leaf blower !!!

I couldn't resist to order that awesome part !

thank you and good luck on your project
