To add to my previous post here's a great video that has a perfect example.17:30 into the video

To update this, only proper solution is to run a lower 6 bolt timing cover with the top cut down with a 7 bolt mid cover to work with a 2g mount.Apparently rix racing is also coming out with covers for a 6 bolt in a 2g as well, not sure if he...

I mixed the paint up myself, it's a green base with a blue pearl on top.

Got some powdercoating done!And no the valve cover isn't done yet, it's just on for mock up.

I'm just in the middle of building my head and it was almost impossible to measure my install height. Tried to measure it right without much luck (other brands valve micrometer, using digital calipers multiple different ways), essentially I...

One thing that should be noted is that those carillo rods use 3/8 carr bolts, which are a superior bolt to the arp 2000 that the eagles use.Not sure failure wise overall how much the bolts will make a difference, but it seems like from my...

Lol sort of they went off YouTube, and have a subscription service now.This poor car lol, they sent it. Be interesting to find the present owner on here.

If you guys have motortrend there's a new episode with a 1G, check it out.

Those Eagles I posted came from a motor that was already in my car so unfortunately I'll never know the exact date, but at the newest they are 2012.

I should also mention those eagles came out of a 2.4 motor that was in my 2g when I bought it. The previous owner said the motor was built around 2012 ish.And sounds good guys, the more information the better.Also to add, this information is...

There are many reasons you may find yourself wanting to do this, probably the biggest though, is because you just installed or are planning to install a SMIM and want to know what to do with the battery. Some may just want to clean up the engine...

Here's the update I promised a long time ago with side by side photos comparing the two.Seems like the general consensus is same same but different, the few differences I could spot are 1. Eagles have a bigger oiling hole for the wrist pin 2...

Here's a little tease

Yeah, been collecting more parts. I've tried to keep the car profile updated, but been slacking on the build thread.Just picked up a g42-1200 for the car, and am in the process of tossing my 2.4 together to run in it, as I've been waiting on my...

Anyone know what Turbo he's running?

https://www.dudes-custom-parts.com/shop/subframe-drivetrain/billet-aluminium-rear-diff-mounts-for-2g-dsm/That's the only ones available

I have both on hand, I'll take some photos of both to give a bit of a comparison for what it's worth.

I wanted to add, I found out dudes custom parts manufacturers these, so check them out. I picked up a set from him.

Agreed, I think it also should be mentioned for people doing research in the future that there is also the drawbacks of a small powerband 8500rpm limit with the bore to stroke ratio with the 2.4 and the drive train possibly seeing more torque as...

Our current 2g makes 765whp 615tq with a 6466 and a basic 2.0L that has been put together. I stand by my statement.I have built over 275 4g6x’s and built countless cars and tuned even more than that. I speak from real world experience. I have...
