team ab drag race and street builds

[dsmreck]

this should be a fun thread for those who want to join in. As many of you know last year I started off strong with a nice dyne session hitting 527hp 425tq db numbers. I later broke the driveshaft and rear diff out at pg1. during an oil change I realized the engine had been eating itself up. The block and crank had some pretty good wear on it so I picked up a 2.4 block and crank. and self built the engine. The engine was fantastic but I tech failed because of no battery shut off on outside of the car. so after 525 miles on the engine we start this.. engine pulled and sold

so out with the 2.4 and on to the 2.0 i picked up a pretty raged looking 2.0 block with the intention of building it up until I realized the same built I was going to do has already been done and was ready for me to pick up. Thanks to a member here I picked up a 6bolt 2.0 stock crank, manley turbo tuff I beams, wiseco e85 hd2 pistons, acl race bearings, kiggly main brace, all new and fresh. 6 bolt head with super tech ss nitrated valves, kiggly hp beehives, kiggly hla, mitsu 4 layer head gasket, l19 head studs all ready to rock besides cams. I also picked up a jmf drag mani.

Looks like some nice setups! I know a few bikes that would mess around on the street this summer if you want to try those cars out.


White 2g looks sweet, but where does he put his spare tire?

[turbotalon1g]

Wow you guys made quite an upgrade this year.
That is sick, you might want to check the safety rules for running E85 and running sub 10.0
