Finshed up motor build with pics, evo 9 pistons, added ST rear sway bar

[Bmxr152]

Okay so i got my Evo 9 pistons and my motor back from the machine shop. I got a deck, bore, hone, hot tank, polish crank, head surface, vitton valve seals, bronze guides, new freeze plugs, gaped rings ( Top ring .019 and 2nd to .021 I am running OEM Evo 9 piston rings and not graveyard custom ones).
I paid only 265 in machine work which i thought was good. So i got home and started to assemble the motor, by the end of the day i had the motor back in the car. . got everything buttoned up, checked everything with plastigage, and 3x torqued the Arp hardware.

Looks awesome! Reminds me of my 1g, except your turbo is a lot bigger. You don't see too many white 1g's with the black trim. Here is my blog if you're interested.

Nice, your setup is pretty much the same as mine. ahahah

I really hope you did a final wash before assembling your motor, 10$ says there's Still tons of dirt and grim on your cylinder walls.

I already have 300 miles on it and broke it in like the motoman method. I checked the compression at 100 miles and it was 175-175-170-175. I checked it again at 300 and it is 180-180-180-178. I didnt really wash the motor since it was hot tanked, but i did use carb cleaner and WD40 on the cylinders before install. Then i coated them with oil.

Evo9 pistons is the route I'm gonna go on my next motor hopefully... looks great dude. Hurry up and break it in.. I wanna see what kind of numbers she puts down. What engine management are you using??

v3 lite, so far i got 175 across the board so i would consider it broken in. By the end of this month i should have about 1k on it and the new turbo setup so we will see what she will do.

Why didnt you time the motor before you put it in???

I didnt time it simply beacause i forgot to torque the crank bolt so, i waited till i mated the flywheel to the block and the tightened the crank bolt and installed everything. The last think i did was the timing belt and acc. belts. It runs great now 180 across the board
