Re: Goodhart's budget beater 1g

Update 1/20/14:


Shell came with a socketed Eprom. I found a chip with a stock tune minus fuel cut on it I got from SleepyDSM like 2 years ago. Popped that in there.



Brought in my head to a guy my brother knows, he gave me a killer deal for some good work. Did the oil port mod before I brought it in.



Picked up some Evo 8 valve springs.


Back from the machine shop, bling bling!


He even cleaned up the runners for me without even asking for no charge.


Put in my 3g lifters


Put in my new valve seals I got from JNZ on sale back in October


Putting the valvetrain together



Whoops, hand tools was too slow, electric impact was dead and the air tools were too much!


Installed my new fp hardware as well



Budget for the complete head including, machine work and parts: $195

Total for complete fresh goodhart stage 0 longblock from valve cover to oil pan including gaskets: $617
