No intercooler???

 

Here's mine after the rebuild on the stand in the car.

 

Turbobrat- build looks amazing! Did you have to rebuild or want to? Specs?

 

Thanks, Jim...yea, I had to rebuild it.. spun two rod bearings at a DE. It took me eight long years of saving money to get it to where it is now....

Went with JB Racing cylinders, 98mm, 8to1 CR JE pistons, Pauter Rods, offset ground the crankshaft, stroking it to 78.8 MM stroke ( which along with the bigger P&C's ) make it real close to a 3.6L, center main oil mod, GT-2 EVO cams, LINK EFi G3 series, undecided on what size fuel injectors yet.. possibly will run two fuel maps..one for premium pump gas, and the other for E-85.. which is very abundant down here. Heads were rebuilt by JB racing, stock valve size, but P&P..yadda, yadda.... extrudehoned 3.2L intake, bell I/C (DonE's design) Tial GT-35r turbo, custom headers

DonE healped me put the motor together... Hopefully get it running in a few months...have a son on the way...so hopefully soon!!!

I am hoping for 600 at the crank...but who knows...drivability and reliablity were what my goals were... but 600 would be a nice round number to have!!

If you are ever in the Macon area...get ahold of me ..stop on by and we can have a beer or two....

 

356-930...WOW..thanks for the compliment.... I thought I was the king of polish....then I saw your motor..... pure bling!!! Awesome!!!

 

Maybe this goes along with this "engine ****" thread... how about Tial's cast SS GT-35r turbo...full V-band..and weighs close to 40% less than a cast iron exhaust housing turbo....

 

I don't know what you're talkin bout Gunz. That intercooler just gave me a hard on...

Dude you IC is by far way more finished looking - mine needs polished, some fin straightening on the core etc. As far as pretty goes - you take the cake my friend I'm still drooling over the pics of your car with that model as well...my gawd that's nice.

 

Mine work in progress. I`m polishing the Alt. fan on the car here are some before and during photos:

 

Ok, well this is all I have time for now, nothing amazing I know but it looks better then it used to

 

It looks clean...and beautiful...

 

Tezme-

what air intake is that?

 

Looks like the factory air box that has been cut down and and modded to fit a K&N. Someone else here did that as well.

Oh thanks for that guys

jayhawk. Yeh as A930Rocket guessed and is correct, it is indeed a factory stock standard 930 air box which I have modified the hell out of, took about 4 hours I guess, Im much happier with the look of it now.

So Tezme, do you feel it was worth all the trouble?

Yes for the following reasons.

1. Looks cleaner
2. Slighty better performance then it was before (not that it needed improvement)
3. Easier to work on the engine with out an ugly airbox in the way

I thought also it would be a little louder when I put my foot into it but if it is its hardly noticeable, oh well, cant have everything I guess.
