Build Thread 2006-07-08 3sgte. Its DONE!, Dyno Vid inside of Low Boost. Options

[x_itchy_b_x]

a video running might be harder than it should be.....
im pretttttty sure i cracked a ringland. still ne compression check it. but yeah.
stock pistons dont like big turbos. forgies going in asap. sucks...

[x_itchy_b_x]

1 bar. i think the problem was that when i got the engine it had a blown HG.
and things werent fit for the power goals i had in mind for stock 91, worn pistons/rings. on the dyno the tuner said i had alittle to much blow by. so we decided to be safer than sorry and keep the boost at 1 bar. he thinks i cracked or slightly cracked a ringland because of the blow by.
i did some research over at mr2oc and they say its a pretty common thing to happen to stock pistons. so i could have had a hair line crack and having the tuner gain alot more power might have been pushing it to the limit.

going eagle rods and Arias or Wiseco pistons. sucks. but i should be able to get it going again fairly quick.

:moral of the story is: Just because some else's motor didnt blow up with stock pistons doesnt mean yours wont blow up lol.
and just to bite the bullet and do it anyways. oh well. im trying to put a positive spin on it. more power when im done

Yup, out of the bay again. eyes closed.
check out whats going in this time

MCS Forged Shortblock:

3S block, torque plate bored, honed, deglazed, vatted, cleaned, painted, assembled
3S crank, balanced with rotating assembly, micropolished
King Engine Bearings & Thrust Washers
CP 86.5MM forged pistons, 9.0:1 compression, .020 over bore
Eagle H-Beam Rods
Blueprinted bottom end
New rear seal retainer & seal

just need to strip the block down and mail it out. id do it myself but by the time i get the block bored and honed and buy all the parts i need, im only like 100 bucks below a fully built & balanced, blueprinted block.
it will be nice to get it in the mail and just bolt it all back together. high boost. Mmmmm.

:this thread is long, should i stop bumping it? anyone?:

When you expect to have your motor finished?? i seriously cant wait for this thing to start driving again.

[x_itchy_b_x]

Very nice man , got any more pics

[lagos]

now your ready for some big power!
how much do they charge for a rebuild like that?

[MercuryFree]

Somewhat off topic but how easy is that plenum to install? Does it fit just dandy under the bonnet etc or does it need fiddling with?

[x_itchy_b_x]

At the moment, No. But dont worry ill get a few more before its all back together and then some.

Yeah! cant wait to get it running, and keep it running
Over at MCS they have alot of good prices for what your getting. I payed almost 2400 dollars, but to know its done right by a 3sgte specialty shop is worth it.
I think its a really good deal, just finding a machine shop around me that would have bored the cylinders would have cost me like 400 doll hairs. ill take a pic of the underside of the block when i get in. Inside is so clean, the crank looks great, you can see where they rebalanced everything. Im very happy with it.

the manifold bolts directly to the head, so it eleminates the tvis valves and it bolts right up. There was no fiddling involed, fits great under the hood.

[playr158]

thats a very nice!

[presure2]

thats a very nice!

[x_itchy_b_x]
