I'm Pulling apart my new motor, as with getting my new presision turbo its time to throw some sleeves in it..

So i contacted p-tuning to see how much it would cost to do a full build

You will need another new manifold!! Lol you can give me your old mani! Pass on the love. Hey mike are you going with cams also? I am just selling thAT Vulcan manifold I need some funds. As far as the studs go people reuse there oem studs right? Why not reuse the ptuning ones.

Your goal should be Passing the nitto tc!!! I think you can do it bro. I wish I had the funds for everything but I just can't.

i thought the nitto tc made 800+hp...its been a long while since iv seen the vid on it..

Last I heard was over 700. Plus I'm pretty sure it's not a dd. If mike goes over 600 or 700 whp he will be the fastest and most powerful turbo tc daily driver.

Normally I wouldn't reused engine fasteners on a high mileage motor or one making excessive power--just for a piece of mind. But sounds like you have very little miles on your studs so Yes, you can reuse them.

I got a question. I am using ARP headstuds and 3 thread in my block broke, machine shop fixed them. Now my shop instead applying 70 pound of tourque tot he arp bolts ( supposed to be 30-50-70 ) they did it 30-50-65 Mr.C will the engine be ok fit that ? They did it so because they were worrying not to brake any other threads. Eventhou the machine shop checked the rest and said they were good.

Don't get too ahead of yourself there! Forgetting about someone there hommie!


Personally man I would never reuses any studs! Even though they are strong they will loose their holding strength after every torque it won't be as much as a typical as a grade 8 but why not spend a few more dollars and do it right the first time.

Last word I read in Import Tuner Nitto tC 739whp.
