Quick Q about coolant does it go off on the shelf even tough the bottle has been opened?

 

[evocarlos]

not if its the concentrated stuff if its been mixed with water then maybe
if the bottle is sealed it should be good for a long time

 

[evocarlos]

gsi brake ducts, standard wiper arm with out buttons, battery bag ,spal fan inside a standard housing,gm ballast-starter-bulb

Engine block core hole (m12x1.75x16.5) (0.253)

 

[Dave Gilbert]

Is that the red ring or the blue ring? If you know what I mean.

cheers carl your a star

 

[evocarlos]

red is the oil feed but he has highlighted the wrong plug you need the one on the other side thats the one thats normally the turbo feed
the blue part is the drain but the z22se won't have the hole cut for the pipe

 

[Dave Gilbert]

I understand the top 1, so the standard turbo oil feed pipe and banjo bolt should fit there fine.

so I will still need to modify the sump?

I will get it off tomorow n get a fitting sorted.

cheers carl. Hows your engine?

 

[Sjdickso]

Will the door cards fit without modification?

the hole is not in the sump its in the lower cradle you could drill it out and fit a barb i guess
engines at a stand still
waiting on more parts

Will the door cards fit without modification?

they came from a coupe so are bolt/clip in

 

[Dave Gilbert]

i dont think its wise drilling it while its still fitted in the car, im not even sure i could get a drill near it, i have got a 90 degree drill chuck, but what about any fillings going in the engine? then tapping it will cause more filings but i could use the standard pipe that just pushes is if i drilled it out to the right diameter maybe, sorry im cluttering your thread up.

Voted..

 

[corsaZ22se]

You could have cleaned the module, it looks a right mess.
