Blown Motor, Engine Rebuild/Replacement.

G37sHKS

I went with GTX2863 when I build my engine. I dont regret going that route at all but if i had to do it again ill put the 67s option on table and think about it twice before purchasing new turbos.

That being said. Ill be going with T25+ housing which is T3 size with T25 flange, and get a new Intake manifold from who ever release it first. That will help me achieve the power of standard GTX2867.

I ran across these stiffer motor mounts from Megan today. Has anyone tried these yet compared to the Z1 mounts?

Megan racing is Chinese garbage. I can't specifically speak for their motor mounts, but their exhaust parts don't fit for ****.

Never had an issue with ANY of their parts. 2 sets of test pipes. A few exhausts too.
And if you trust Agency Power, Megan Racing is the same brand

Agency Power is Vivid's house brand. I have major issues with that company because of the way they did business with the Subie community. For many years they were the only vendor to have been banned by Nasioc. They will never see a dime of my money. I'm guessing they just have Megan stuff rebranded Agency Power in the same Chinese sweatshop?

My Megan headers for my IS300 required a ton of massaging to fit right and not leak. The O2 bungs weren't even in the same zip code as the correct spot. I finally had to take a hammer to the firewall so I could put one of the O2s back in.

Just went through this thread. Good luck on the build Cosmo.

I am skipping most of the coatings and using WPC on all internals instead. Then Calico CT-2 Thermal Barrier Coating on Piston tops and Calico CT-5 oil-shedding coating on crankshaft counterweights, rods, windage tray and oil pain. Just in case you want to look into that as well.

Well I got a call today from bobby telling me the pistons should ship out next week from CP. After that the build should take about 2 weeks give or take since they are cryo treating everything but the pistons.

This Saturday the motor will be removed and will post pics..

I managed to get a little more work done on the car today. As I was taking off the plenum I heard metal fragments rolling around inside. My question now is how to clean the inside of the plenum since it does not come apart.. I know I could blow it out with some compressed air but that's still no guarantee it would all come out. If anything is left behind it will destroy my new motor..
