Re: 500 WHP Pump gas build up (Pic Heavy)

I was bummed there are no pics!!!!!


ALSO VERY IMPORTANT: since you are building your race motor. CRYO the bottomend!!! you will have an even stronger bottomend!!!!

it will handle whatever you throw at it!


They will be here soon lol.


I think i'm going to be going with a stock l26 motor. I can get one for pretty cheap considering it's only got 6000 miles on it.
 


Re: 500 WHP Pump gas build up (Pic Heavy)

that oil pressure kit from intense i believe its a stock spring with a washer behind it to give it the extra psi. i can messure it and give ya the specs of the washer if you like it should save ya 30 bucks

oh zzp has that tranny from the turbo impala for sale it has a 1inch chain in it

Yeah I saw that tranny. Tempting if i already didnt have one.
 
Re: 500 WHP Pump gas build up (Pic Heavy)

I think one major mod that needs to be done is we pull your motor out and stick it in mine. Sounds like it's going to be a good build. I seen a video of a supra lay down 30 ft marks at 80. can't wait to see some pics.

By the way that transmission that zzp has for sale came out of this car.


Car had stock heads, stage 4 intense cam and the stattam t67 kit.

The traction bar setup on that inpalla is something like what i'm going to have.Something that can be takes off wehn on the street and hidden by the licence plate. A little fab work should take care of that.
 
Re: 500 WHP Pump gas build up (Pic Heavy)

Ever think about going E85? Takes more fueling mods but the results are proven, and its still pump gas;)

A low mile L26 can be had for a lot cheaper than $1000. I just helped unload one a few weeks ago that cost him $400 with 20,000 miles on it, he's selling the topend parts for a s/c build and about made all his money back. Its going to take less boost to make power over a L32 but you dont have much to work with as far as tuning error on that L26.

I dare ya to ask Matt how many hours of tuning was done on Kalo's impala!
 


Re: 500 WHP Pump gas build up (Pic Heavy)

The Intense oil pressure kit is not a washer. It has a higher tensioned spring.

Why not much tuning error with the l26? So basicly you're saying it's easier to blow up?


Yeah i have thought about e85 but since this is my dd and there's not many stations around here that carry it...only 1 i belive...other wise i'd go all for it.

I can only imagine. Although it would be nice im in no way expecting to just slap it on and run 10's lol.
 
Re: 500 WHP Pump gas build up (Pic Heavy)

if the intense oil pressure kit is a higher strengh spring then whats the washer for?


have you thought about using l67/l32 heads and lim from a l36/l26 so you have and extra set of holes maybe a second set of injectors? or maybe nitrous? some kind of alcohol?
 


Re: 500 WHP Pump gas build up (Pic Heavy)

Duck call used a ST4 cam from stattama not intense.
ZZP uses a higher tension spring in there oil kit. Intense uses a small machined washer. Both work fine.
If you are using a l26/L32 swap the front cover from a L67/L36.
The newer style cover is a joke when it comes to flow.
Are you at least going to mod the oil pan gasket for flow to Cyl #4 ?(this will help as much as any cryo treatment you will do to the bottom end)

Well I don't know anything about the oil pan mod. Care to explain?
 
Re: 500 WHP Pump gas build up (Pic Heavy)

You cut out part of the oil pan gasket around the #4 cylinder for better oiling. Ill try and take a picture of one if I can, dont know if we have any already cut in stock.
 
Re: 500 WHP Pump gas build up (Pic Heavy)

my god. my god...

i still want dibs on the cam and few other goodies :D

no whipple???

That would be awesome. How would that improve oiling? Would it just help with oil drain back or what?
 
Re: 500 WHP Pump gas build up (Pic Heavy)

Current combo just sold in sig pending monthly payments. Will be ordering some turbo parts soon hopefully.
