just wondering wat every one has done to there tc and if it was worth it or not
i just got done wit my motor and it has
je pistons
k1 rods
no balance shafts
50 over bored
lightened crank
bc stage 2 cams and spring kit
dezod standard race vavles
dezod vavle gutdes and seals
polishsed head
custom intake
zpi light weia]ght crank pulley
arp custom head bolts thanks to sciontcperformance.com

 

are you turbo'd?

 

i would have to say from reading his build

YES he is turbo..

stage 2 cams are turbo cams...

not many people would waste there money doing a all motor build and post it in the forced induction forum

 

Custom intake manifold???

Why not just get a Golden Eagle, or a Weapon-R.

^^

 

Do they still even make zpi light weight crank pulleys?

I'd say go with NST. I forgot which brand makes a lighter crank pulley than NST. But its only off by like 0.1 or something like that =p

Not sure what year your car is. If your getting arp head studs, i'd say get them from ptuning instead.

They have the arp 2000 head studs, or something of the sort.

If you do end up getting a use zpi crank pulley, makes sure its version 2.0 if i'm not mistaken.

 

right now i am not turbo i am still braking in the new motor na but will be turboed soon and i got the pulley when zpi was still open and the i meant cai but i will be getting the golden eagle manifold and feul rail shorty

 

Sounds good.

Don't forget a walbro fuel pump ^^


Edit: Oops I misread. I though you were getting those parts. You already have those installed ^^ my bad, lol.

 

i do have that aswell and those are the installed parts i have and i will have a dyno na run here soon so i can see wat the difference is bewteen the built motor and factory and the with the aem standalone and then turboed

 

Are you driving with a stock tune? Just curious as to how the engine runs with the BC cams untuned in it. Was worried about me breaking in my engine with them. LMK

 

Nice Built cant wait to see ur Dyno Pics ( N.A , Turboed )

 

what happened to ur old motor ?
most people turbo than build. this is done right though.

 

yes stock tune and it runs great i do have a colder thremostat and a stage colder ngk iridium plugs and i turboed the car before and the factory pistons cracked on me so i got it built so i wont run in to that problem again and with the motor work on the stock tune it revs up to 7000 right now i dont want to take it past till i do get it tuned

 

x2

 

7k rpms....

yummmmmmmmmmm

lmao

 

i raised my redline to 6.8.. and my head is stock besides valves

 

what are rod and main oil clearances did you go with?

 

u put a new headgasket on right? and bearings?

 

yes chelite bearing and trust washer and the cosmetic mutlilayer head gasket and yes 7k rpms when i get the standalone i will let it rev it up 7800

 

nice.

 

who did the work? and how long did they take? whats the big deal about deleting the balance shafts?
