well this isnt so much of a question thread or anything, just a place for me to keep track of my plans, and update it as i aquire parts etc...
Heres the plan:
My motor has 263,000 hard miles on it, and it smokes like a crackhead while driving i can sometimes see smoke trail out the back as i get to higher rpms too; so I think my valve guides and possibly rings are starting to complain.
mods i have now:
Delta 272 cam
DC Sports Header
2.5" High flow cat
2.25 Catback exhaust
MSD Plug wires, and coil, and msd 6A module (would like 6al for the limiter function, but i can live without it)
Cold air intake
lame 4g map sensor mod
anyway, its a decent start...
rebuild strategy
i want to make a little more power with the car this time around, so i am gonna spend a bit more money to "do it right" and get some headwork done while i am at it.
head
- buy lowtek's 8000rpm valve springs
- titanium retainers
- forged valves
OR
- try rjudgey strategy of using exhaust valves/springs on the intake side, and getting custom exhaust valves and springs made.
- get intake bored to accept TB
- get head matched to the b16 intake
- 3angle valve grind
- port the head out!
- talk to delta about a bigger cam than 272
bottom end
- king tri-metal main and rod bearings
- high volume oil pump
- high volume water pump?
- bored .040 cause the block had some scarring.
- eagle h-beam rods
- diamond forged pistons (havent decided on target compression ratio
- balancing and blueprint the rotating assembly.
misc
- i havent found one, but that adjustable cam gear may be neccessary..
- the whole bit is going to be cryo treated and hopefully that will help me out! im not paying for much of the cryo treatment. my stepdad is using the a20 as a guinea pig! heehe
- shooting for 160-170whp NA with this... i am a little hopefully. but i think those are convservatively realistic numbers. also im considering turboing it, since i'll already have so much into the setup. on the other hand its a hardcore daily driver, so i may go high comp NA, just for longevity's sake.
