Built Engine Complete

O&G · 02-21-2014, 04:38 PM

For those that don't follow my journal.

It's been a long road, but I did most the work myself, with Ron Bergenholtz of JTran Motorsports assembling and blue printing the bottom end. Motor was rebuilt due to wanting more power and good thing we did, because the rods were slightly bent do to some overboosting on the stock block

Parts:
Arias 9:1 1000 hp capable, custom built
K1 Rods w/ ARP fasteners
GTM coated bearings
stock crank
Cosworth head gaskets
Nissan rebuild kit
ARP L19's
Stock heads

Parts pics:

Pictures of tear down:

Re-Assembling

Start Up:

Next step is completing the fuel return with new rails, fabrication of new turbo manifold for the 7065 snail, I'll update the power numbers when I get them in the next few weeks!

Just out of curiosity what boost and power levels were you running when you 'overboosted'

O&G · 02-21-2014, 10:15 PM

Well see....what had happen was I used some sub par vacuum lines i received with my vacuum manifold kit and the wastegate line melted and caused the car to overboost to 16 plus psi....felt good but she didnt like it it too much. No rods through the block or anything, but like I said good thing we broke her down.

I bet 16 psi felt real good...only wish she could actually handle it all day

So I'm guessing you did not wrap your WG lines to protect them from exhaust temperatures?

I have a $600 shipment coming from SummitRacing just to handle heat management. I'm wrapping turbo manifold, downpipe, all wires, all hoses (WG and any fuel/brake lines in line of site of turbo of manifold piping) and of course bagging the turbo.

Best investment imo...I did have everything wraped but that crappy vacuum line which wasnt touching a direct heat source

You just confirmed my need to buy the extra thermo-tec to protect everything possible. A couple hundred bucks now is well worth protecting my $12k build...

Everything I've researched says wrap anything that is in direct line of site of a heat source, not just the things that might touch it. Sh!t gets real hot down there....

Finally the build thread on the forum

You car sounded SOOOOO beastly on FB

Gibby1113 · 02-21-2014, 11:16 PM

How much does something like this cost?!? Love the car bro it's absolutely sick!!!! Could I possibly take my car to you have have this done?

Quick question, I know this is probably stupid but I don't know much about this stuff, that sound is your stock engine? Was it boosted when you recorded the video? What bolt ons do you have?
