Right, first off I hope nobody minds me doing this :oops: I have had a project thread over on vx220.org.uk running for about 18 months now, but recently the site has been suffering a lack of admin input, and since this thread is effectively my service history ( :silent: ) thought I best post a...

Just wondered if there was a list of parts that will be required when changing the head knocking around Head bolt set Head gasket Rocker cover gasket Inlet gasket Exhaust gasket Exhaust studs + nuts Inlet studs + nuts Coolant Oil EGR blanking plate/gasket/cheater Timing chain set + parts listed...

Anyone know anything about this notsure.gif http://www.vx220.org.uk/forums/Insider- ... 84382.html Edited due to me posting completely the wrong link :D

Does anyone know the duration of the cams for the Z22, and also the lift A quick search doesn't find much, other than a quick mention of 244 degrees I'd like to compare OEM specs to some of the aftermarket ones available :)

I bought a spare block last week, but really need to strip it down into manageable (read lighter!) chunks to keep it in the house (I don't have a garage down here :() - also needs to be carried up a set of stairs :rolleyes: :D I've posted this on the VX forum, but in hindsight it's probably...

I've tried a search, but can't find anything conclusive I'm looking for the OEM manufacturer of the Z22SE standard injectors I've found the part number - 12569091, and the flow rate, but nothing more - are they made by Bosch? Or even better, does anyone have a data sheet showing length, spray...

Is it a bad idea notsure.gif , it's the most logical / neatest / cheapest place to mount it, with plently of room for an oil cooler and intercooler - obv the header tank would need to be relocated and the EGR removed. The GM performance book says that the stock manifold is good to 300bhp, tho no...

For once Wikipedia has let me down :( It simply sates: So a lot of people will be using 8.9CR pistons, but is there a way of working out the optimum for a Z22 running ~300bhp? And what disadvantages are there to simply fitting a decompression plate (apart from the fact there are then two...

Or is this ok? Obviously I haven't sanded / polished the sides yet :) These are the area that feel as though more could be removed to completely smooth the airflow, but the walls of the tb look very thin, is it safe to attack these, or best left alone... PS - there is no option...

Aimlessly wandering US sites I came across this http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/_Car-Tru ... 240%3A1318 Quite compact / neat solution (tho the performance may be pants :D ) Edit - REAL LINK BELOW :D

Are there any specific type/size spring compressors need to be used on the Z22, or will a generic Halfords set do the job, I'm sure I've read somewhere that they need to be fairly large notsure.gif Ta :)

I don't suppose anyone knows where I could find efficiency graphs for the SCs; preferably both the GM and the Harrop Annoyingly I'm sure I've seen one in the last couple of weeks, but for the life of me can't find it anywhere :)

What would work best? OEM size / +0.5 / +1 Waisted stem or standard Stainless or is inconel recommended Cheaper the better (OK so that doesn't really work with the above!) Ta :)

A friend of mine is scrapping his 1999 Saab 9-3 It is a 2.0T, and he's said I can have the head The ebgine 'code' is B205 - any ideas if this is the 'right one' notsure.gif http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saab_H_engine#B205 Cheers :D

I have installed a ten inch sub and a set of components in my vx over the weekend, using a 4x125W rms amp Sounds amazing, but at higher volumes the lights dim a bit with the bass notes Do capacitors really work, or are there alternatives I should be looking at? Thanks :)

Took some photo's today whilst out for a blast (I actually remembered to take my camera for once!) Really wish I'd given her a wash first tho :(

Together with Toyo T1-Rs Really pleased with them, Compomotive were a pleasure to deal with :) A few piccies:

I want to colour my aluminium petrol cap/surround black on the VX. At first I thought of anodising, but after talking to various companies they cannot guarantee the even-ness of the finish (most say it may come out dark purple :shock: ) So next thought was powder coating - but how tough is it...

Hi all, Thought I'd say a quick hello :D I have a VX220, which I've been looking over the years to mod in a number of ways! At the moment I'm concentrating on the aesthetics (wheels etc) but soon to move onto something a little more involved no doubt - possibly a supercharger / NOS /...
