Blown Motor, Engine Rebuild/Replacement.

COSMO

Got a call from vsr and they have the heads off and starting the engine bore today then off for the cryo treatment. I also ordered the KDT911 Whiteline Rear Diff Mount Bushing Kit from z1 to stop the wheel hop...Will post up pics as soon as he sends them...

jwick

The diff bushings made a big difference. Definitely hooks up better and there is less slope in the rear end on shifts. At the moment I'm still NA so I'll leave wheel hoping determination for those with real power.

Are you leaving the heads alone?

Yeah, from what I've read the heads flow pretty good already...

Chuck33079

That's what it looked like to me. And from the thread where the guy who did cams and heads (Navyboy something or other) there was a lot of non reuseable VVEL parts that were expensive as hell.

Can we start throwing out wild *** guesses as far as power? I'll take 615.

I'm with you 600whp is enough for me considering our cars don't hook up well anyway. Hoping to be up and going in a few months...

Chuck33079

Yeah, until we figure out how to get the rear camber right, it's all **** measurement over 450whp or so until you get halfway through 3rd.

Are you using OEM bearings? I recently learned ACL has main bearings and thrust washers for our engines. No rod bearings though.

OEM bearings...

I still can't get over gtm not going with a better fuel pump than that walbro 255 with the stage II kit considering it's just a bit more.

Chuck33079

I've used a Walbro in every boosted car I've modified. I've never had any problems with one other than the fact it's not particularly quiet. I wish I had gone with the Aeromotive upgrade, but the Walbro seems to be just enough pump for a stock block kit.

It would have been nice if there was some headroom built into the kit, though. Everything seems to be "just enough".

COSMO

Your right not saying the walbro 255 is bad or anything but going with bigger turbo output flowing more air an upgrade is well needed. I think the cost between the two is only like $20...

Chuck33079

****, I'll bet the difference is even less at their cost.

That falls under the category of "**** I know now". If I had gone bigger on pump and injector the first time, it would have saved me some labor cost when I decide it's time to go for more power.

You mean the labor costs of making sure I've got enough bourbon to get me through the weekend project?

Yeah, some of us didn't have access to a garage with a lift when we ordered our turbo kits.
