Re: Budget Comp G. Getting pricey - STILL NOT DONE...... LAME

Haven't added any pics for a while so here goes

My goal pulley next to stock



Got her all back together and 3 days later spun a rod bearing. Had the motor back out in under 2 hours.



Reason for spun bearing



This dropped onto the head gasket after i set it down



hmm maybe?



New motor 90K L32 super clean inside





Has an xp cam and Double roller :D Low idles in my future



Painted sport red metallic to get rid of that terrible blue





Close enough

 
Re: Budget Comp G. Getting pricey -Getting close :D

was wondering if you decided on that xp or was staying with the S1X. are you going to run the higher ratio rockers?
 
Re: Budget Comp G. Getting pricey -Getting close :D

Not for now. If it performs well with the xp I'll put the rockers on the bonneville.
 
Re: Budget Comp G. Getting pricey -Getting close :D

supposedly the xp does better at higher rpm's, so I bet you wont need the rockers with the xp cam. I've only ever had an xp cam, so nothing to compare it to, but when I raised the rev limit from 6000 to 6250 it helped a lot.
 
Re: Budget Comp G. Getting pricey -Getting close :D

Good job getting all that work done.

BTW, that roof rail is backwards. They are stamped RH and LH...just sayin.
 




Re: Budget Comp G. Getting pricey -Getting close :D

I had an S1X with S3 heads and 1.8's.. Holy chit did it screw.

Likely though.. it's a bit too much for Dan. Poor guy is so busy he didn't see that 8 lbs of crap on his engine block before he torqued down the head.
 
Re: Budget Comp G. Getting pricey -Getting close :D

I'm pretty sure i ran my roof rails backwarrds for all the time LoL
i liked the look the way i had it, maybe they were backwards. who knows.
 
Re: Budget Comp G. Getting pricey -Getting close :D

Hopefully it stays up and running lol. I have better luck slapping stuff together than I do taking my time
 


Re: Budget Comp G. Getting pricey -Getting close :D

Got a text message from someone using your phone. They were asking about a snout turndown tool in order to go sub 2.8".

Better get your phone back and beat that person down.

Go BOOM...

Go CLANK, BANG

repeat motor swap

Go BOOM

Aren't you getting sick of this?
 
Re: DSmuts: How to improve engine swapping time 101

It'll only go boom if it's got a bad tune or has another issue. I have a Bonneville for a reliable car
