Blew Tranny, Swap Time Need Some Help

[EclipseGST]

With Wiseco pistons and Eagle rods, the motor should be able to handle 600hp no problem if tuned correctly. You are going to need head work also. Its going to add up quick.

a complete stock shortblock with arp headstuds and cams and bolt ons made around 580 to the wheels, for his full race season. Most people don't even know the potential of these motors, and THINK they need to build them.

Yeah but people that make that much power on the stock motor usually have a lot of money into tuning and know exactly everything they need to know.

An average person is not going to make 580hp on the stock LONGBLOCK with arp headstuds, cams, and bolt ons while having it last.

Nash made 511whp on a stock short block. Make 450whp, then think about building it. That is much harder and faster than what people think it is.

Ok so what if I just rebuild the motor with wiseco pistons, do head studs, and cams. With the crank, rods, and other stuff stock will that work? What boost is capable with that setup? I wanted to do that setup and put a new good clutch in and rebuild my tranny. Let me know what you think.

If you are rebuilding the block with aftermarket pistons, it would be pointless if you put in stock rods. If you are going to use stock rods, get a set of 2g pistons and go from there.

In my opinion... If you have the money to build the bottom end, do it. Do things once, do it right, and be done with it. Why have to upgrade later down the road and spend more money. Some things can be done this way, some cant. Like fuel for example, if you have DSMlink, why not buy 950cc injectors instead of 650's? The price difference isnt that much, you could be running a stock turbo and DSMlink would handle them just fine. There for you buy the larger injectors and save a couple hundred bucks instead of having to upgrade them later down the road. Think of how much it will cost to rebuild a stock motor, then when you get to the point where you want to make more power than the motor can handle, you have to build another motor. Your decision, just giving you an opinion.

What you are asking is a broad question... You are going to need a fuel setup, a FMIC of some sort, turbo, exhaust, if you get cams you should get valve springs, basically just all the important stuff to make it work with the rest of the engine. If you dont have all that, you dont really need to worry about what modifications you do to the engine.

Ok so I dont have that much money right now because some other toys decided to blow up this weekend so I think ill stick with just utting in the stock 91 motor and What I have with that. So in the end here I will have the stock motor swap, very large FMIC, SAFC, 550's, EVO III Big 16g ported, Header, Downpipe, Cat back w/out cat, direct rout IC piping, intake, 255 fuel pump, and Imight of missed some things but for the most part that is what I will have in the end. What does everyone think that I should be able to run for boost on that setup after I putit together and a better clutch? thanks for the help. Also if you have an estimate of what power that will push and still be a daily driver.

How much boost depends on what kind of gas you wnat to use. If I were you. I would get dsmlink as you need a good logger. You wouldn't need the safc than and you could do the 6 bolt swap the magnus way without any problems.
