correct.

Im still not finished developing my old motor! I put in a 264 inatake cam and raised the rev limit. This is untuned so i expect a few more once i get it tuned and hopefully i can pull some of the bottom end back up with the cam gears.

No this is on my "old motor" rather normal ported ports and +1mm valves. i simply did a baseline pull then dropped in an intake cam at the dyno and did a pull.

On the subject of my new motor the billet mains should be coming in tomorrow

stock as in not billet. Not stock cause it's lightened. I really can't justify a 3000$ crankshaft at this point in time

First things first was getting an intake manifold setup.

I had Mike at Chantham build me up a honda ultra manifold with a little extra anngle upwards to match the port runners






While that was happening i strapped the c30-74 rotrex to the side of the engine and built a 3 inch intake for it.




My intercooler finally showed up after being back ordered for a while. its a Treadstone tr8

Intake manifold on and it should lead to an interesting cold side charge pipe.




Hot side plumbed up with a turbosmart 34mm diverter so i shouldnt see any boost off throttle at high rpm.

I can see it now. "HELPPPPPPP! Car is timed correctly but car won't start.19 teeth between the notches at TDC. Car cranks for days and sounds like it wants to start..." It kind of reminds me of wall-e.

Default Blowed up the headgasket

I was at Sonoma last week and during my last session I noticed the car tried to spin me out for no apparent reason. So, I slowed down after the carousel and saw my racepak alarm go off as my coolant temps were climbing. Must be a coolant leak I thought.

Got to about 215 degrees and shut it down and had the track workers open my hood and look for a leak. They couldn’t seen anything but there was coolant down the side of my car

finally got in an my coolant ant resivoir was full to the top. Clearly a lifted head or blown gasket. Replaced the coolant and drove it home no problem.

Flash forward pull the head and cleary heat passed the fire ring and got into the coolant jackets. So a new non modified gasket went in with new studs.

Some new revisions under the hood aswell. New intake setup and good side because everyone complained. Also vented the bpv to atmosphere it didn’t lower intake temps but I’m sure it’s better than pumping hot air into the intake when out of boost


Old intake
New intake
