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.

Re: beaterX project thread
 

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!

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.


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


Making some good progress! looks great!

Re: beaterX project thread
 

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!

Re: beaterX project thread
 

No logs of my remote tune.

Guy at work sent me this:

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

Re: beaterX project thread
 

LOL, that's awesome and good job Brandon!

Re: beaterX project thread
 

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 :)

Re: beaterX project thread
 

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

Piecing together my surge tank and saw this.

Re: beaterX project thread
 

Jesus titty fucking christ. I think they want enough for it. Mishimoto makes one very similar and for just about as much too. Retarded when you can buy a Saikou Michi for 1/4 the price IMO.

Re: beaterX project thread
 

Are you talking about a surge tank or catch can here? Murlo says surge tank and website says catch can.

Re: beaterX project thread
 

Apparently you (or I specifically?) cannot! I've emailed him several times with no response, and email is apparently the only way to order.

Re: beaterX project thread
 

I was just researching surge tanks, that was when I say the catch can, the link was for a catch can.

Re: beaterX project thread
 

Only 3 weeks later, Mr. Saiku emailed me back and I have an S0-OCC on order! Yay!

Re: beaterX project thread
 

haha nice!

Re: beaterX project thread
 

Got the pistons/rods out of the old motor last night. Here's a look at the piston from cyl1:

Rings seem smooth but the crown (?) of the piston obviously has some damage around it. The marks on the piston line up with the marks on the cylinder wall, so that piece fo spark plug obviously got stuck alongside the edge of the piston/wall, did some damage and then either disintegrated or flew out the exhaust.

Little scuffing around the skirt, all cylinders have this but this one is about 10x worse than the others (due to the scraped cyl walls I'm sure):

Rod bearing on #1, a few others have small wear marks like this and the black around the one edge but for 25k miles of 550-600whp I'm thinking they are not too shabby!

Next to a 2G DSM rod for beef comparison. These rods are built for doing some epic power!

Damn those are huge rods! (twss)
