Time for an upgraded build... some may know, my built motor skipped time, destroying pretty much every valve. So now I'm building my spare block for the 08 Si.

- ERL is building the block: sleeved, 1/2" head studs and O-ringed (fuck you head lift... we're not that good of friends).
- 88mm bore (2.1L) K20Z3
- 11.0:1 c/r JE pistons
- Manley Turbo Tuff rods
- ERL S2000 Oil pump
- Portflow K20Z3 head w/ standard size Supertech valves
- Custom Jeff cams (used to be GO Power, now @ Skunk2). Something like 14.2mm lift intake & 14.2mm lift exhaust, exact specs I will never share (heh...)
- Comp CT43-6767 turbo (upgrading my 6465 into a 6767, 700-800 wasn't enough apparently)



Oh yeah... ERL S2k pump on a Z3 block w/ Z3 oil pan...

Nice! I'm with everyone, can't wait to see more. As for the ERL S2k pump, has it ever been done on a z3 block and oil pan? More details on that as you get em

I actually have a customer in Brazil that has done the ERL S2k pump on a Z3 block and pan. He did the same thing I did. It's actually pretty easy.

You can see where I ground the lip off the pump here:

Once that lip is out the bolt circled hits the pan here (where I ground away):

The grinding goes through the pan just barely, so it has to be welded to seal a small hole.

The *other* option is to use an M6x1.00 bolt that is like this and see if it fits:

A2 clears the pan just fine, the A2 pump just needs to be ground down to fit the Z3 block.
