Damn that timing job looks easy! Maybe I've been looking at Subaru motors too long but your longblock looks REALLY tall in this picture. Are the 4B11's any taller than an Evo 4G63?

I don't think its really any taller, the head almost seems thinner but with no lifters or rockers I imagine it is at least slightly smaller. The longblock probably looks taller for two reasons...first because of the oil pump; it bolts to the bottom of the shortblock and into the oil pan, you can see it in this pic (the lower chain). Secondly there is a whole cover that wraps around the bottom covering the crank caps, crank and rods as they spin down, almost helping prevent windage from the oil in the pan...I don't think there is a piece like this on a 4G63.

So deceiving! That oil pump sprocket really does visually lengthen the engine.

Looks great though! Glad to see you're making progress even with a bum knee!

Do any locals have their injectors done at Ravenworks in Maple Grove?

I had raven works flow test my 2150s. The guy said they were the biggest injectors he's seen And could only do two at a time. I think it was like $30 just for the flow test on the them. I didn't have them clean them since they were basically new injectors a day seemed to flow test fine.

I love how simple the timing area is!


Me too! This is one of the simplest engines I've seen for timing.


Making some good progress! looks great!

Clearly Scheides had the air compressor tuned locally and it is putting down some serious numbers, otherwise I don't see how all the progress could have been done. Scheides.. we demand dyno graphs!

No logs of my remote tune.

No disassemble, need input. Yo mama was a snowblower.

LOL, that's awesome and good job Brandon!

Wasn't going to work on the car tonight but I got a few quick hours in...old shortblock is SOLD and I either had to mess around with hoist/stand to pack it up or just get the new longblock the heck out of the way...so I cleaned and bolted up the water pump/tstat housing, bolted up the flywheel and the HDG6 with a fresh disc and slid it onto the trans:

Then old motor is back on the stand, pistons and rods are coming out before it ships out, need to find a beefy 7/16" 12-point socket asap and get this thing off to its new owner...he has plans to sleeve it and do a 2.2L :)

Also, heard from FIC today, they got my 1680's and cleaned them up and are shipping them back to me....they said they were as much as 8% out of balance, that is kinda scary! She'll purr like a kitten now though :)

Found a surge tank with media for you :) It's not cheap though lol.

Piecing together my surge tank and saw this.
