So far, perfectly! Engine out and in cleaning mode.

I'm about 5 days behind schedule because my initial attack strategy was wrong (remove DPs while leaving trans in place, d'oh, and then had to go back in and unbolt DPs).

Going really slowly... trying to do some work every day, even if that just means removing one bolt!

Going to clean the bay and motor until the weekend, which should be plenty of time for my 80/20 cleanliness level, then start removing K03s and working on the K04s, hoses and piping, plugs and injectors. Budgeting a week for the stage three stuff (again 1-4 hours per day, depending on schedule), and then another week to get it back in. Maybe another week of cushion, in case I need to order some stuff, or f something up on the install.

    - I think the spindle spring preload is tested by batch on some sort of rig, not in a running car. - nyet 2015-08-21 13:14:25 (225 views)
      - Yes... this. Hence the need to set up an adjustment rig as mentioned in TOF. ;) - jprice 2015-08-24 17:27:22 (108 views)

        That's an awful expensive N75 that will only piss off some ECUs.   -  AutoXJunkie  2015-08-22 15:07:03 (159 views)

        This forum makes so much more sense now that I've taken my engine apart.   -  SUV  2015-08-21 16:30:36 (165 views)

      - Yes, n75 factory, not car factory. - Timtheguru 2015-08-21 15:43:43 (171 views)
- Interesting. I'm assuming "more aggressive" corresponds to less plunger travel? - AutoXJunkie 2015-08-21 06:13:08 (187 views)
  - Yes. Far less dynamic range, and increased pressure drop across the n75 - nyet 2015-08-21 13:15:43 (235 views)
