AN interesting note for 8v 3 liter builders - the 16v 3.0 engines have a harmonic damper built into the a/c alt pully and the 8v engine do not. The harmonic damper is a good idea to keep for the larger crank....

Other than that I don't know much more about the engine other than what was published in Excellence.

Looks like we have similar motors. Have you been to a dyno?

kasturbo

Yes, it did 386 at 17psi on a Mustang with a big boost leak. I'm heading back to the dyno probably around the first of the year. This first tunning session was for driveabiltiy. The next one will be for max hp. I may change the cam before I go back.

Engine was "ready" august 2008, autumn drived with 13 psi, dynoed 430/550 from the crank.
Winter projects will be: large intercooler, repair of some minor oil leaks, new bearings for transaxle, LSD!!!!!

Why don't we include any dyno charts / numbers as well? Do you have your numbers Tom?
My 3L motor with VR stage 5 turbo did 288whp at 9psi / 5500rpm which made me hopeful once the engine was run in.

333pg333

Arto, what do you mean dyno'd 430/550 from the crank? Are you saying at 13psi you're getting 550 hp at the crank??? No body will get near you! Even 430whp will take the record at that psi.

Im hoping to get 400 at the wheels on 14 lbs. 104mm bore 88 stroke.

Tom M'Guinn

I only have this one so far. Still looking for a place that can run a dyno and its software...

Tom you should start a list with everyone's names on it as they add their setups to the thread.

Make it a real registry.

333pg333

That's a good idea John. Have a list with each name having a link to the details of their car and numbers. I would think that it would take up too much space otherwise?
