Thanks for the compliment.

Well I have the block and head sitting in my room waiting to be mated.

The block: JAM Stage II Shortblock

-Bored .020
-Wiseco coated pistons & rings, 8:2
-ACL rod & main brgs
-Eagle rods w/ARP bolts
-ARP main studs
-Cometic Head gasket w/ arp head studs
-External Oil cooler

The 1g head was also built by JAM

-SS 1mm oversized valves
-Revised Lifters
-JAM upgraded valve springs w/ titanium retainers
-bronze valve guides
-some port work done
-stock cams and cam gears for now

As for the turbo, I'm sticking with my Evo III big 16g, evo III exhaust manifold with SBR tubular 02 housing. This is only till I have the money for a new turbo setup. I should still be able to make some decent numbers with this setup. Once the motor is broken in, I'm getting DSMlink and off to the dyno I go.

Pictures of all this and more will be posted as soon as my shipment of gaskets and random parts come in from JNZtuning.

I assume traction won't be that bad on a 16G, but are you going to keep it FWD or will ever convert awd?

Well I have tons of work done to the suspension, including 16 way adjustable damper, so I'm hoping that will help. I also have prothane mounts and plan on using slicks at the track. Its mostly a highway car, or from a roll. Eventually I will make it AWD or swap the motor into my 1g talon awd and build another motor for my 2g. Either way, its going to be a fun car.

All your pictures look great. You must really take care of your car everything is nice and clean. I only live 40 minutes away.

Thanks, I try to take really good care of my car. I cleaned up the engine bay as best I could, maybe once I get it running we could meet up.

 

[Spoolin98]

Picked up some SS oil pan bolts and SS valve cover bolts.

hey man got ## link from my thread. Just wanted to say nice job keep up the good work. Also I need u to come to Arkansas and redo my fuel lines. Mine look ghetto compared to yours . Also a problem I ran into that might help u with. I have similiar intercooler. I originally ditched my fan shroud. If you still have your's keep it and just cut it to fit around the new intercooler. I was haveing overheating issues, until I found another one and modified it to fit around my intecooler. I didnt think it would matter but it did on my car.
later


MORE PICS

Hey man, thanks for the heads up and the compliment. This may be a dumb question, but what exactly is a fan shroud?

More pictures are coming soon, I just order $1200 worth of parts, as soon as they come pictures will be posted.

Thanks for the compliment, stay tuned for the motor build coming shortly.

The fan shroud is the plastic or sheet metal part that sorrounds (spelling?) the fan. It is a very important component of the fan assembly becasue it forces the air to go in the "direction" that you want it to. Like for the radiator in a pull through setup, the shroud makes the fan "suck" air through the radiator and not just from the back of/around the radiator if the fan was jsut there spinning. Hope that made sense. Its also good for safety so you dont cut off your finger...

Bill

P.S. Oh, awesome job on the car keep the pics coming.

 

[95blackGsTurbo]

Very clean. Love to see more cars like this on DSMTuners. Makes the site look good as opposed to 50 million "what went wrong" threads. Keep up the good work. I am doing the same thing but I just keep piling parts in the corner of my room . Until I'm realy.

 

[blcknspo0ln]

beautiful build, can't wait to see the finished product!

Thanks for the compliment. I'm still not too sure as to what the shroud is, If its the black part surrounding the A/C fan then I understand. If not please explain. BTW, the A/C has been removed along with the cruise control, so the driver side fan is gone.

 

[Spoolin98]

95blackGsTurbo and blcknspo0ln, thanks for the compliments! I appreciate them, I put lots of money and hard work into this. Like stated earlier, more pics will come soon. The motor is sitting at the bottom of my bed all wrapped up, I don't want to open it just for pictures. There will be tons of pictures documenting the build.

 

[DirtyBirdRacing]

Yeah I think it is "the black part surrounding the A/C fan," if i know what your talking about. Here is a link with the best picture I could find using a quick search on google:

http://images.google.com/imgres?img...&svnum=10&um=1&hl=en&rls=com.microsoft:*&sa=N

I'm really sorry for the long link, . Yeah I also removed the driver side fan when I deleted my A/C on my 1ga. If your car starts to overheat then you can by another fan and wire it up to the passenger side fan wiring. I'm sure you have seen that around on these boards.

Hey Thanks, yeah I'll figure something out if I run into over heating problems.

Great work I just finished doing the same thing! but why all the head work for stock cams and a 16G?

Thanks, Well I plan on upgrading the cams later and also the turbo and exhaust setup, I'm just short on money at the moment. After awhile I will get bored with the 16g and have room to upgrade and have more fun with the motor, thats what I hope anyways.

Thanks for all the comments and compliments guys!

 

[Spoolin98]

Its been a bit since I posted something, but I just got all my parts in a few days ago. I mounted the block on the engine stand and took some teaser photos. Tomorrow I'm starting the build so I will have more pictures. Heres a few..

 

[DirtyBirdRacing]

Awesome man, looks super duper sweet, . Where are the block and the head from?

I started building the motor today, pictures will come as soon as I have time to upload them.

I ran into a few problems. I tried drilling the oil pickup bolt hole out to keep the support bar but after an hour of messing with it I became so annoyed I just cut it off. After assembling the front case and putting it on, I attempted to put the crank sprocket and JAM spacer on. They didn't fit, So I called JAM. They were absolutely no help, I sanded down the crank shaft until they fit. I'm not sure why they didn't fit, JAM had no idea why either. All they could say was "we never had that problem before". Two hours later the spacer finally slid on, but I had to hammer the crank sprocket on. The crank sprocket is never coming back off, thats all I can say about that. It was a huge pain

The head is on along with all the valve train.

Next I have to get the intake and turbo setup on, but first I have to get some parts sandblasted, Ill keep my progress posted.

 

[snox135]

Nice build. The cams look used. Did you get a ported head from JAM?
