So first off I got tired of this shitSo I finished the catbackIt got really, really quiet... kinda nice but I may take it off for track days when Im feelin froggy. Then I was seeing some uneven compression/starting. Compression was 160/160/55/60 and it was all going out the valves, so I...

Tonight on unsolved mysteries!!! UPDATE!!! haha tourettes guy reference... So I set myself up for what I like to call a hell weekend...where I have a thousand things to do, and barely enough time to do it. I drove the GVR4 to the shop friday night to start on the next set of upgrades, it took...

They are the same size, it has to do with the collector and the angle they meet.

Thank you for this. Im researching to build my first TS mani and was wondering about this vid I had seen as well. I didn't know what the real difference was but the collector angles make total sense.

So tonight heres where we are at- I had to tidy up the bottom end with an oil pan gasket, and to decide whether I could use the crank scraper or not with the main girdle.It turned out I could use part of it with a little modding. I had to do some trimming, but it will definitely help and be...

So tonight I torqued the head down, got the cams installed/torqued, water pump, most of the timing components, intake mani, and did some throttle body work.I'll be taking the cam gears/cover off the other engine, and getting a kevlar belt, so hit my roadblock for the night on that. The...

You're like setting the plot for each build update its amazing... haha tonight Ill be torquing the head and doing the top end. Its a JMF race mani, which should fit the engine well since Im planning on a 9k+ redline. The farthest I had the engine was 7k last time, but I can tell you I was having...

Alright, got the block back from the machine shop! So I went on through it with the normal assembly routine. It was really nice not having to file rings since it was already done and on the pistons. First step was making sure the main clearances looked goodNow if you didnt see this engines...

Thank you brother, keep at it. These cars usually pay you back in the long run when youre really stubborn and dont give up.

The head is actually already done since it got all its mods the last time this combo was together and thats one part I didnt skimp on. Im supposed to get the block back tomorrow and then can start reassembly. The 2G is much better for a street car I think, the 1G head with cyclone gave great off...

My buddy makes 641whp on a single 450 on stock feed/return lines, 38 psi boost on E85. KISS=Keep it simple stupid. Do a filter to rail with a rewired 450 and youre golden for 600whp.

So update time, I ran the car a few more times at the track until it was closing time, it did well for what it is with more high 11s at the low 120s. Its best was 11.83@123 with a lame 1.8 60ft (traction) the car has about 600 miles on it since being put together, and 3500 miles on the engine...

I am drooling over this mod, must know part numbers, please fill us in!

So where are we now....I upgraded to a slightly better alternator, it was another $56 over the one that went bad, since all in all this was the third one I have blown in my dsm life. Put that in and did some runs in around town before I took another go at the track. First pass it spun a lot...

So still keepin on with this one... after its passes at the track I was getting some spark blowout, so did new BPR7s gapped down to .02, and ran it around on pump gas for a while to keep it on the road while I worked on it. I had to address some exhaust leaks, here you will notice the turbine...
