Long rod motors?

Must be something inherant to the damn 2.2
Noone I know has made more power with an intake change.
Then again, it is back-yard style intakes with Old Milwaukee telling the guy where to out the welds.

I don't actually know anything about the 2.2l intake manifold, just generalizing. Usually on most kinds of cars, top end power fall off can be fixed by cams, or big plenum/short runner intake manifold, or some head work. Sheetmetal intakes often help DSMs in the upper RPMs more than cams do.

I'll see what the turbo does, if it continues to make more airflow the higher it goes I'll continue to raise the Rev limit.

I kind of doubt the turbo will be making more power higher than your 8500 redline.

Steve, I only reved yours a bit past 8000 on the dyno. We had it set at 8000 most of the runs, then I bumped it up to 8200, to keep from hitting it so often. Fix the fuel and lets turn the boost up to 35psi. :)



Ahh, I thought you said we had the limit at 8500. Whew, I feel better. :D Actually, it runs like a champ, I just set it back to AWD, time to go test her out. :eek::eek:

What the hell are you talking about?? The crank doesn't get changed at all, just the rods and pistons.

with regard to a dry sump, once you start using one the crank doesn't have to plow through all the oil in pan since the scavenger pumps keep the oil level in the shallow (custom) pan very low. i would call that less parasitic drag.

i never mentioned anything about changing the crank.

Next time mention what you are talking about. You didn't mention anything about talking about the dry sump system. You can't expect us to read your mind.

The crank doesn't plow through oil in a normal wet sump either. The oil level is well below where the crank spins.

Edit - Probably right Just looked at my dyno charts again right at 8K my power band starts to drop down a little. So that'll probably fallow suit once I rev to 8500rpms. Hopefully won't be that much of a power drop like my 20G used to do.

That would be one huge turbo if it did that. I am sure the turbo you got will put down good power high up but not higher at 8500 than 8000.
