400HP Daily LSVTEC Build Progress
 

Well the build has progressed enough to start a build thread.

I bought this EK hatch from a friend for $800 running with a Y7 drove it for a month and the single blew. Bought a stock lsvtec and took it apart and started dumping money into the motor.

Be sure to get it done before she gets here!!! My wife and I just had our daughter and I haven't touched my car in 5 months! lol

Re: 400HP Daily LSVTEC Build Progress
 

What kind of assembly lube did you use on the bottom end and head? I'm not really seeing any around the rod or main journals nor any under the rod bolts where they meet the cap, that can affect torque/stretch values.

please tell me you didn't use moly lol
