Blown Motor, Engine Rebuild/Replacement.

Makes sense. I'd say that you could have a base map sent out to you so you could drive the car there, but we both know you'd get that map three months late after you broke the car in and tuned it.

You know what I would like to see is a Turbo Shoot-Out between the companies but we all know that would never happen. But just think doing a test a say 10psi per unit just to companies spool up times and hp/tq comparo's.

Too many variables to make it easy. There just aren't enough boosted Z's out there to establish any kind of a baseline. My wild-*** guess would be that numbers between similar turbo sizes would be 90% the same. There's only so many ways to skin the same cat.

Even though most of these are box kits. The manufacturers allow tinkering with it prior to sending it out and not too many of us (me included) actually just ship the kit as designed. Not to mention you would have to have all the cars tuned by the same tuner for a good comparison.

How'd your motor hold up?

COSMO · 02-21-2014, 05:50 PM

Sorry man its mardigras weekend... I have gotten it far enough out yet to see the full damage.. Next week..

DIGItonium · 02-21-2014, 05:56 PM

Aren't there some good UpRev shops in FL that way you don't have to ship it out to GTM?

COSMO · 02-21-2014, 06:09 PM

Brain fart.

Sober yet? Haha. Can you examine the throttle bodies and charge pipes? Just wondering how dirty it can get.

COSMO · 02-22-2014, 05:24 PM

Well we had to be out of the hotel by 10:00a.m. and after a long @ss night I was starving....

Grabbed a bite and went to home sleep for most of the day. Gotta love Party-gras!!!!

Just I thought I would post up my progress. The motor and tranny are out.

Rusty · 02-24-2014, 09:11 PM

Any piston clearance holes in the block?

COSMO · 02-24-2014, 09:22 PM

There is a hole coming from cylinder #5 behind the turbo. Tomorrow I will remove the turbo's and snap some pics...
