936/1000 progress report

[Mn92gvr4]

I was planning on running a hone through it for sure. How would i check the others? Slap the caliper in there at a few different points? Its a little concerning those only have 30k on them

The best way would be a dial bore gage. Most people are not going to have that equipment. The other way would be with telescope gages and a micrometer. Calipers are not accurate enough.

On another note. You can go 9:1 pistons with that turbo and the boost that you want to run. You just need to make sure you have good enough rods to handle that. Those 1120 low z injectors will not be able to handle that. Even if you went to stock compression pistons you will probably run out of fuel. Same with the fuel pump. Your going to need to go to a wally 400 and run -8 feed lines.

I have manley turbo tuffs coming. I think im going to go with the 8:5 comp ratio just to be safe. Atleast until my tuning skillz are up to par. I know i am going to run out of fuel at some point. That stuff is a 30 min job to swap out.(inline pump). I'll cross that bridge when the time comes. Dont suppose map has a dial guage they "rent" out?

Look what mr.fedex brought me today!

 

[Mn92gvr4]

Today i realized that i hate the monstrosity that is our fuse boxes. Other that relocating to the glovebox or something what options do we have? Is there some sort of aftermarket option/replacement?

 

[Mn92gvr4]

Made a little bit of progress today. Kiggly main girdle. On the arp main studs do i have to back them up half a turn before torqueing like with the head studs? Anybody know the torque specs or should i go figure out how to use google?

 

[GSTwithPSI]

Did you have the block checked/machined with the ARP main studs torqued and girdle in place?

 

[Mn92gvr4]

Studs were already in the motor. I just dropped the girdle in for fitment.

 

[Mn92gvr4]

Ok. So i finally got my pistons and rods. Manley turbo tuff I beams and manley pro series dished 8.5:1. On gapping the rings (top and 2nd) they say for high boost application on the gap go bore size times .008 and with the oil rings a min of .015. Anybody have any personal experience with this? Should i just go with it?

 

[Mn92gvr4]

Out with the old in with the new.

I found some time to take care of a couple little projects ive been wanting to do.
Mounted my battery. Odessy pc680 with the odessy bracket.





Ive never been fond of our brake fluid reservoir. It will mount in the stock location, just less of an eye sore.
I came up with this using a weapon-r can i had laying around.

 

[Mn92gvr4]

I got the can back from the welder and was able to finish up this set-up. I am thoroughly pleased.

Jm fab top-mount twin scroll

 

[Mn92gvr4]

I do have one small fitment issue. The front motor mount needs to come down 1/8". Has anybody ran into an issue like this before? Would it cause the engine to sit to far out of wack if i weld and redrill the holes in the bracket? Thanks in advance.

 

[Mn92gvr4]

The engine found its home today.

 

[Mn92gvr4]

Today i was finally able to attach an engine to my turbo lol.
Borg warner s300 s-60 8375.

 

[jeverts]

A 1g BOV seems pretty small for that size of a turbo?

 

[Mn92gvr4]

Why is that the first thing everybody notices? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rofl.gif I simply haven't gotten to it yet, its on the list. I put the ic pipe in there for mock-up proposes.

 

[jeverts]

It sticks out like a sore thumb that is probably why. Just was wondering that is all.

 

[Mn92gvr4]

That it does. Probably going to order up a tial soon though. It will fit much better.
