Well My p/s pump was pooped so I replaced it with the one of the ze. seems to work ok. I also pulled the intake manifold and applied a small amount of silicon gasket to the thermo spacers. and the the plate on top of the manifold above the #1 Vris along with the egr plate on the back of the mani. I replaced all the vac lines with new ones. I deleted the egr system and used the klze vacuum diagarm to run all the new lines. The car seems to run a little better. still not 100% .. My #1 vris is not working also. so I will use the one off my k8. I'll double check my timing also. The car jus doesnt seem all there.

Well its running a lot better. still Idles high. My two intake cams were off by one tooth. so that explanis the blow back. I trippled check all the vac lines and rest the tps again, checked all fluids, started it up and ajusted the dinisty. Now is sounds a hell of a lot better

checked both VRIS and they seem to be working. everything looks good. Now if the roads were just clear I could take it out for a spin.

Heres a vid of it running.

Couple more shots of the motor in the car.

Dont make fun of the cheap battery

Cheap batteries are OK in my book as long as it works. The ZE sounds great and in the dark pics it looks sick (in a good way

) Nice work on it altogether. Its nicely done.

after having an optima yellow top and an interstate battery, my top of the line advance auto parts battery was half as much and I have not had a single issue so far

expensive batteries FTL IMO

Nothing sucks like just installing a ZE and not being able to try out the car.

you weren't talkin about the snow stopping you were you? i could have swore you were talking about the chevy (trailblazer?) blocking the garage stopping you. the ZE has power. if you spin the tires enough it'll eventually reach pavement and move. once that happens turn and pull the E-brake

on a side note: you didnt shovel all that did you? i hope you atleast put a piece of plywood infront of the chevy

it makes things easier

Holy Snow Machine!

If you shoveled all that snow, you'll be ripped.
I kinda miss the snow. Here in Bama, we are snowless.

Looks like fun though. I take it no more updates?

And yes I had to shovel the hole thing.. and it sucked! and I am not ripped ... took me 2 hrs.

Yeah I shovled it all. well a LITTLE help from the g/f.. but she did more playing with the pup then anything.

Oh and its a 07 equinox, AWD and have yet got it stuck *knock know <---on wood* the thing loves the snow. I use to cover the sides of my 88 f-150 with plywood. I needed to or else it would get suck where it sat! lol. needed the 10' of clear driveway to get a run on.. LOL.

I decided to *customize*

my front bumper. I did not like the way it was sitting. So I decided to try something. If I dont like it ... It can always get mounted on the wall!
