dont forget that I fixed your exhaust lol in the middle of the night
just giving you a little heads up. If you have already purchased 81mm pistons take your block to a machine shop and have them check the cylinders for trueness. If the cylinders are still round just cross hatch them. Proper engine building procedure is to bore .5mm on a rebuild. If any of your cylinders are out of round your will burn though rings.
Motor is good the one I’m rebuilding only has 70k miles on it
Larry, I have seen motors with 5k on them be more fucked that a motor with 170K with boost all its life.
i guess well see if it blows rings when i build it then my uncle said the motor looks fine and he builds 8 second cars
well that is fine, I was just stating it is worth getting them checked out.
i havent seen the block, i tore the head down for him, the other day, didnt look to bad,checking the block is always a good idea, we have dial bore guages if you want us to look over it, also b&r speed supply is right down the road im sure they could do it in a day, just a precautionary step. 30r would be a nice turbo, but there pricey,60-1 is where its at, best bang for the buck
I have the rest of the black interior pieces you need. Let me know if you need them.
Holeset FTW they are sitting here!
it would be like $150 to make the downpipe including the 4" Vband clamp and flange (they are like $50 from ATP)
its internally gated how would i make it external
you can either tack weld/or weld the flapper shut, or disconnect the actuator and put some sort of turnbuckle on there to tighten it shut.
Its very simple.
Holsets in the hy/hx35range are perfect!!!
just to be ont the sure safe side…when i tear my block apart ill bring it down jay so we can look at it
If I am not there and you want more convincing to pickup a holset, have jason give you my number, when I am done talking holset propaganda you will be driving straight over to joes to buy that thing.
