Think of what it will be like on a 2.0L. Thanks but no thanks. I guarantee my setup will be faster around a track than a 600hp T67 240. If you are into 200+km highway runs than I understand your need for that otherwise have fun lighting the tires up anytime time you step into it. I actually went for a ride in Ivan’s (you know the famous 95 KA 240) with 800hp-ish and he had an auto, it was still laggy as shit but when it hit look out. He used the car for drag racing only so I understood the purpose. Oh and slicks were on that car even on the street otherwise it was useless. ---

Last year my car made 441. At Dunnville, other than the back straight…it was useless. This year I am changing up my setup an looking for 300rwhp…maybe 350 tops ---

I am not trying to justify my T67 set up!!! If I had a SR20 I would used a GT35R. I had the T67 with a 93 exhust side and boost was coming in around 4000rpm yes it was laggy, but I know how to drive the car, this year I am going to run 68 exhust side so boost will be much faster. I am into drag racing, so my setup will be alittle bigger. Anyway your build is sweet!!! did you do dual valve springs? Also did you balance your parts? I hope you did. ---

Yes valves are oversized, by 1mm. Both intake and exh have been ported. Full Ferrea valvetrain, Im sure I could try to rev the shit out of this motor but id probably bust a trans or throw a rocker arm. Besides, Ive got my Honda for 8500rpms. 🙂 ---

i believe they cut the top of the cylinders so when u want to take the pistons out, the rings dont get stuck, its something to do with that ---

Petey lookin nice man. Thats what I noticed with my 4G63 rebuild. Wasn’t crazy but the engine was friggin smooth again and loved the boost. It was faster at lower boost than before LOL. I might go down a similar path Dave @ Headgames offered to do up a RB head with Ferrea guts and I have Tomei on the hook for internals. But I didn’t know a local place that would be good. Wasn’t it Leitner & Bush before? ---

Head job was a freebie since I know Dave @ headgames very well, problem was it took almost a year to get done because like most things free, paid work comes first. Dave, I think Gord was in business with Leitner a long time ago but now he runs his own shop. ---
