Spartan GL's Build Thread: (09-21-14) New photos!

Re: Spartan GL's (12/17/11) PG 16 for Cam and Black Friday Pics!

Your car has the potential to max out an M90 with a correctly dialed in snout pulley.
It will be maxed out within... reasonable funding, minus the short deck rebuild IMO.

The last item on my list is Comp Cam Lifters or an aftermarket rocker that would work with my cam and heads.

The ZZP Aluminum heads just have the springs and retainers on them currently and i dont want to reuse my stock stuff.
 
Re: Spartan GL's (12/17/11) PG 16 for Cam and Black Friday Pics!

Why not just use stock lifters and rockers? There's nothing wrong with either of them for an involved build.

I guess you're only real option for rockers are YTs from one of the vendors. Intense has the most ratios to drool over.

well we only had an hour and a half tonight for the teardown.

Got a pretty good start just had trouble finding the fuel line disconnect tool.

anyone got a HP tuners file for a build similar to mine? would help a great deal for my tuner when he gets around to it.

Merry Xmas fans, also does anyone have an extra bracket i can buy? hit me up!
 


Re: Spartan GL's (12/24/11) PG 18 for Engine Breakdown

You should have pulled it up out on those bolts threaded into the heads alone.
Those brackets are aluminum.
 
Re: Spartan GL's (12/24/11) PG 18 for Engine Breakdown

I think i have that bracket it's the driver side one right?
 
Re: Spartan GL's (12/24/11) PG 18 for Engine Breakdown

yep i got it i just found it under some other stuff in the garage. I'll send it to you for whatever shipping will be. Probably around $10 or less.

I pulled mine out the same way, before someone else told me never to do that.
You win some, you lose some.
Cheers for cheap 3800 junk.
