The rebuild begins...

Re: The rebuild begins...

If your not going to slap a big ass turbo dont worry about reving to 8000. Best way to have a good motor and not worry about it coming apart. Drop in rods and new rings. You wont bend a rod or cook a piston.

Also, with a GT28 you wont see much benefit being able to rev that high. The turbo will run out of breath first.

edit: you beat me by 1 minute Dom.

May or may not be receiving a comp 5552...

I can't afford down time, so yes I must cheap out on that.

I do have new solid black nitrate valves though!

Re: The rebuild begins...

$260 later in gaskets, $700 in internals and $45 in bolts and we are in business folks! Just waiting for them to land!

$1400 for a rebuild ain't to bad eh?

Also does one of you own the all silver S4 that frequents deerfoot that kept trying to out pull a black A4? That was quite funny...

Progress marches on! I just received my cylinder head back from getting hot tanked! A big thanks to Bob at Economy Automotive on 17th, he's a great friend!



I'm just waiting on the block to come back from being bored and I can begin putting it together. Motor swap should begin next weekend.

Doesn't matter, stock cams don't flow worth a damn past 7200-7500. Just do the rods and set your rev limiter to 7250 if you don't have the money to do the valvetrain. (PS: I'm running a Comp Triplex 5556 with the stock cams and I've done enough logs to know that the stock cams choke at around 400-425 CHP)

It is done! It drives good. I have a new fuel pump on the way as well, Bosch 042.

May be selling it though... Long story... Life is not being nice to me anymore.

lol.

It's not how it sounds. I live in country hills and work in Forest Lawn, so I take Stoney every day. So literally, you will see me on Stoney if you frequent it.
