joel's build

[99gsxjoel]

Yeah once or twice. Not planning on going to much. just to put down a number and see how much improvement there was over last year.

[19TsiAwd90]

im very interested to see what that billet 20g does, im currently running a turbolab 20g but not billet

[99gsxjoel]

What are you puting down? Just interested how much more then the evo3 16g I have now.

[19TsiAwd90]

Well my car is a subaru, it makes less than a evenly modded evo or dsm, and lags like a bitch because of all the preturbo echaust. Lol I put down 340 awhp at rs motors ron's dyno reads pretty low, its close to 370 at map(very rough guess) this is also a stock motor on 22psi external wg, full tbe, mellow e85 tune, biggest topmount intercooler I could fit under the hood, and more I can't think of

[99gsxjoel]

As I am still a noob I have started thinking how I want to tackle all the things I want to do to it.

Water pump, timing belt, cams, head gasket, head studs, and replace the transmission.

Would I be better pulling the entire engine, or doing the work in the engine bay.
What are your thoughts/opinions.

[gsxvince]

ive rebuilt plenty of dsms already!
Taking the motor out is a simple 2 hour at most process and makes working on everything way easy!
I could help you if ever needed i have all the tools and knowledge to get it done right!

[93gtpeater]

I would pull the motor. It would make life alot easier with the motor and tranny out of the car.

[C3L1CA]

Yea if you're doing that much work I'd just yank the motor/trans together. Wouldn't take that much longer and would make it much easier to work on

[GsXtUrBo98]

I agree with motor and tranny being pulled. Much easier

[99gsxjoel]

Sounds good. When the car is getting worked on I will post up, and if anyone is board they can come hang out, watch, or even turn a wrench if they would like.

[4seasons69]

looks like a nice setup! If you're not to far away I could probably give you a hand sometime if you want

[99gsxjoel]

I am located right between wyoming and east bethel. Just so you know.

And I know this is a very broad question. Do you think my stock bottom end will handle 400+ wheel hp? If so how long? Just asking to see if people have personally had experience with the stock bottom end.

[4seasons69]

Yeah that's not that far. My car is in Wyoming. Let me know if you ever want a hand. If I'm free ill definitely come help.



6 bolt or 7 bolt? The 6 bolt will handle 400whp with no problems as for a 7 bolt not sure. I've never dealt with a 7 bolt before.

[goodhart]

Ah snap, didn't realize you were in the area also.

7 bolts with the split main can handle more but i don't think much more than the 95-96. But i've heard of 350-400whp dyno jet with no problems they just have thinner rods than the 6 bolts thats the only faulty part.

[turbotalon1g]

It will hold that power just fine, It's all in the tune.

[99gsxjoel]

Cool. I have another question. Are all 2g rear ends the same gear ratio? I found out after the fact of buying the trans it is out of a 95 talon. All I should need is a 95-97 t-case?

[asshanson]

I believe that is correct. Make sure the trans/xfer case match, rear diff shouldn't matter.

[CornFed2.4]

Yeah the only difference in the rear is auto/5 speed. Just match the t-case with the yr of trans you bought.

Positive note. You can now use the 91.5-96 so they are alot easier to find

Did you get your trans yet? Car in the garage?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GK6d-BFMW84 this will show you how to check

[99gsxjoel]

I have the trans at my house. Still waiting to get in the garage.
