    Unhappy Re: before, and after,well in progress

    :SAD: well maybe next summer.
    while street tunning something let loose....I cant tell where in the engine, so she'll have to be torn down again.
    I guess I'll tear down the trans while the moter is out rebuild them both.
    see you guy's down the road..

    that hella sucks....yeah you should of done a compression test to find out the condition of the motor....i dont think the stock engine can handle that much boast....how much were you running anyways?

    Re: before, and after,well in progress

    It's no where near stock. the bottom end is fully built.
    fully ballanced with eagle H beams, je pistons,ect.
    as far as leakdown she was under 4% accross the board.
    the thing is that we were tunning @ 8#'s on the street then next week we were going to dyno tune and raise the boost till we hit the 400hp mark.
    It almost sounds like the oil pump exploded. who knows.

    Re: before, and after,well in progress

    I havent been able to pull the motor appart yet but it seem's that the timing belt jumped a tooth.
    i started the car and put the stethascope to it, the noise is comming from the the top of the motor on the #1 cyl.(on the head and exhaust runner)
    i wounder if a valve is slaping the piston?...
    do you guy's think that skipping a tooth would cause the valve to hit the piston?

    Re: before, and after,well in progress

    what's to say, you say? i guess i'd have to say that there's a machine shop that owes you at least the labor to rebuild your motor, if not the parts as well.

    pretty much it has been labeled as a racing engine so it's as is no warranty.
    I will go talk to them on tesday, but i think it wont get me anywhere.
    the block is undammaged, the head looks ok, but i'll have to smooth the edges where the piston hit it. Atleast till i can afford head work.

    Re: before, and after,well in progress

    well guy's as i stated the machine shop wont admit to any wrong doing...
    that's ok though i'll do it all myself this time.
    i got a doner engine form the j/y had the crank micro pollished at a different shop. line boared all the rods to match, painted the block gloss black with clear coat. I begain assembly crank and rods are back in, now time to put the head and alt ect. in. I am waiting for a reply on a certain ramhorn manifold but if that falls through i will build a tunned manifold.

    Re: before, and after,well in progress

    can you take more pictures of the exhaust manifold and turbo. I want to see how it sits there.
    Did you make your own manifold?

    Re: before, and after,well in progress

    god that sucks. I would replace that rod as it looks like its been heated up some, might have drawn the temper out of it. So all it was was the number 1 rod bearing spun? It could have been worse... More pics!! What kind of slugs were those anyway?

    Re: before, and after,well in progress

    they are JE's 10.5:1 compression pistons.
    i'll tell you what sucks! every crevice and oil line was contaminated, I spent 8 hours just cleaning the junk out.
    as far as pic's go i only have 1 more with the motor out.
    I am puting it back in now,but i can get some with it hanging loose though.

    imageshack is sucking ass right now so i cant even get the one up.

    i just want to see how you did your exhaust manifold. I am collecting data for my own turbo manifold that i hope i will make it in about a year or so.

    for the time being i am only using new stock bolts and felpro head gaskets until it's fully tuned. I'd rather blow a head gasket then incinerate the pistons.
    I am not going to run past 14#'s(well i'll try not to) till i get my spare head done and then i'll go copper w/arp's and 25-30#'s. Right now this head is my weakest link.
    I am trying to go in stages if that makes any sense.

    let me know what you find for good head parts....

    shep...
    start buying part's now....
    the good stuff isn't cheap,and you'll actually spend alot on the little stuff.
    I got some more pic's today well see if they will post.

    I'll tell you straight up this manifold isn't my best work but it was done quick and cheap. $70 in part's and 3 hours time

    sooner or later it will go on the for sale section after i build a fully tuned top mount.















    before anyone say's anything i am trying something different.
    the t3/t4e 62-1 stage 3 went from a 63ar back to a 48ar turbine housing. I want to see what difference it will make in spool time. I also want to se if it will run out.
