Update-
Found out my brother can't weld aluminum because he does not have the correct liner for the softer aluminum wire,Said the aluminum wire since it is softer tends to get kinked up. He said Ideally you're suppose to have a spool gun wich he also does not have. Other than those two things being missing he would have no problem doing it.
So it looks like I may just have to find someone else to weld them or else go the epoxy route.
BTW Scotty that brass thing is called a ''welder's helper''

id love to have a genV some day but i dont know if im going to be in the grand prix scene long enough to care about it. if i run 12s on stock cam i will be happy.
Update-
Going to go with the is4 and 1.6 roller rockers.Did not realize YT made roller rockers in 1.6's. That's why I chose the is3.
read your pm's :D
damn. IS4? better make sure these heads are cleared for that. (hint: take it to an engine shop ;))

Pics added to 1st post
So far so good :) want to see how far this goes :D
Damn this is gonna be a sick build. I like it :th_thumbsup-wink:.
Pics of the ported s/c just added to the 1st post!
can you take more pictures of the outlet. i would like to actually see what you did. is that part curved and you took out the curve of it? it should curve out towards the bottom as well, to release the compressed air more smoothly instead of a sharp angle.
Right that's all I did. Made it slightly larger and redid the curve on the bottom just for that reason.
If your talking about shauns build, he also went from a ported TB to a N* and LQ4 maf when he switched blowers IIRC. So the gains from swapping SC is not as large with out a TB swap. At his power level his TB was holding him back some. He also had a home ported gen 3 before so depending on how his porting was the power gains from the swap are not as cut and dry as you are saying. The car was also retuned before going back to the dyno so that can play a large factor as well. Not saying the Gen5 isnt worth it but those gains are not always that common from just swaping on the new blower and nothing else.Quote:

Well that's all he said he did when he posted that on 3800. I was not personally expecting those gains although i'm sure there is going to be some improvement.
I was/am having a real hard time picking cams. What custom cam maker would you suggest? Cam motion? Ed curtis?
PRJ makes sweet custom cams. ;)
I Doubt prj actually does. Although I could be wrong.
you doubt? says on his site he does it for $500.

go to services.
Well I was not saying that they done do them or sell them but I don't think they actually make them themselvs. But instead probably use a companay that does....like comp cams or cam motion and sell them under their own name....
But I could be wrong. Thats what zzp and intense does anyway. Regardless i'll check it out. Thanks
well yeah he doesnt grind them, but he creates the specs and then has one ground depending upon your setup and the rest of your valve train components. it is something i would seriously look into if you had the time and money.
