very very nice cant wait to see it when its done im leaving for afhanistan in 3 weeks and plan on doin a trans swap and few other things

[z3r0]

im super glad there are people out there still made of money. you win, sir.

but to put it lightly, a lot of those things are useless and just costing you money.

I demand a list!

Bracket sent out today you'll have it before you get it all thrown back together.

[Spartan GL]

Thanks for the replacement bracket. Ill have it and the other one powdercoated black or silver (undecided)

[Bio248]

im interested to see the end results, but havent heard of anyone needing to go that far. that's all im getting at.

EGR block off can be had for two cents and some RTV...I'd love to know how much a machine shop charges to fill the port in the LIM/Header.

Also, reason for the JE pistons? Are you running mad amounts of boost? Like...20+? Otherwise...could have saved tons of coin there and kept the stockers and just had them hot tanked...they are great pistons.

What compression ratio did you end up getting?

I'm aware of the penny RTV trick, and ill let you know how much they charge to fill the holes.

JE pistons and L32 rods because i want a strong bottom end that can take some punishment.

plus my last L67's pistons and rods took a ****

[matt5112]

oiling mods?

[blueguy]

Ported L26 Cover?

[matt5112]

drilled galleries.

[MoarkatsINmuhtrailer]

thats the biggest issues. and id replace the external line with steel braided 3/4 line

I look for that same quality in my women. Just saying

rofllmfao

but the Block just got dropped off at the machine shop, owner of the machine shop was rather impressed with the project thus far and all the parts said i did great getting everything together (he is used to waiting on parts to arrive)

and car is currently at the paintshop

[Spartan GL]

So what do you guys think the max boost i can run with this setup could be? wanted to guess about 13-14* safely

machine shop asked.

[Bio248]

hopefully more than that.

[matt5112]

its an M90.

What CR pistons did you buy?

I'm curious why they want to know.

Nothing I've seen suggests the boost level would change the tolerances required for the motor.

Being boosted requires larger ring gap, and forged pistons requires larger ring gap.

[Spartan GL]

i got the 8.5 ones

[matt5112]

there will be plenty of boost then.

[Spartan GL]

there will be plenty of boost then.

but how many degrees ya think?

[Sandman]

I don't know if you want a high boost blower. You should be fine telling them 14lbs
