Project Black ValentNine AKA DSM9.0

[scheides]

There is a lot you don't know, hence why you keep chasing some power level you can't handle and why your car consistently doesn't run.

Since you don't believe me ask ron, english racing or any of the other people that actually push stock motors rather than chasing the newest parts on the market.


Right back at you there boss :)


Ron is actually the one that talked me into doing aftermarket rods btw!

[scheides]

oh nice.
That is gonna be sweet, this mean the beater X can go T3 or T4!!

Nope, with the stock sleeves, the EF4 is the biggest turbo that car will ever see. It's laggy enough as it is. This car will....nevermind I've said it like 6 times already...

I took one year off and I bought a nice dd and a house.
Plus when my DSMs run I was averaging 30k a year multiple track visits and a ton of street racing time. You? Oh you raced a few times at pg. That's cool I guess.

How popular are those rods in 4 cyl applications?

The last thing I'll say is the whole '400wtq' thing is semi true, but as always when quoting dyno numbers, it depends on the dyno :) I ran '400wtq' or '450wtq' on my evo8 w/ stock bottom-end for...whatever I said above, 25k miles or so, and '370wtq' or '400wtq' for like 20k miles before that....that is about the limit though, I was happy and things looked just peachy when I pulled it apart...even after rolling through the ditch ;)

This is what I was trying to say lol. And yes a built motor with a stock turbo will be so much fun. We'll be racing for tons of beers this summer Scheides!

Who gets to drink more, winner or loser?

Spaz?

So for ballers like you and scheides with 2 cars is that like double the anty?

[Mark Leasure]

When's it going to be done? Goals with this one?

I agree with Ron too. If the engine is out of the car, then throw rods/pistons in it! I did drop ins back in the day, worked well.

Alrighty! We're in the home stretch now!

So, first off, the molnor H-beam rods are out. Backorder, and after staring down the bad-ass Wiseco HD's I was putting in the block I caved. Manley Turbo Tuff I-beams are on their way in. I'm excited to try these, they are pretty bad ass! I've had MAP/Howard X-beams in my X and these things are right on par. SO nice!

Transmission. Gah. Way more than I expected. Needed a new 3rd gear synchro and sleeve, 2nd gear sleeve, 5th/reverse sleeve, reverse syncro, and a new reverse gear. On top of that, 4th gear will be swapped out for an evo8 4th so it will be a little taller for street shenans and drag racing. :) I'm excited for a trans that is minty fresh!!! The car already has a short-shifter in it and copper underhood shifterbushings so this should be pretty hawt.

Clutch? 6-puck! Ummm yea. Again, I caved. Exedy Twin...

Back to the block...it was a two week ordeal with the machine shop, I don't even know all what was done but its a miracle...block is trash! block is a-ok! block is trash! block is....wait...yup! Block is a-ok! Crank fits in real nice, rings need to be fitted and...off we go!
