Getting ready to put the new engine in!!!
Alright I tried not to bore everybody with 50 look at what I just got for my build posts. Instead I decided to post up now when the engine is ready to go in the car. I do have some tech questions though.....
While turning the cams with the new valve train it seems pretty hard to turn both cams. I am running supertech valvetrain with the strongest springs they make I attributed the heavy springs to this, any thoughts.
Also what does everybody suggest to break in a new turbo motor, anything special?
Alright well here are the picks, Also thanks to RED SHIFT, LOVEFAB, BNJMN, ARTURBO, SPARK RACING inc. and everybody else that I bothered with stupid questions
Engine B18B1 RS sleeved thanks to spark racing
JE pistons
Eagle rods
Lovefab manifold
GT37 Garret turbo

That manifold looks crazy.. i cant tell by the pics but is it high enough to have a good oil drain line?
Everyone has their own opinion on how to break in a motor.. just search it and choose what you think will work best for you.. I would break the motor in without boost personally but its all up to you..
Nice build by the way, post numbers once you get them.

Re: Getting ready to put the new engine in!!! (dtmamg)
Well I actually got lucky getting the manifold off of Bnjmn on the forum who had cody make it for him. The manifold has a divided collector( #1 and #4 merge together and #2 and #3 go together) which matches to my turbos divided housing. I wanted to go with this style of setup to promote quicker spool times with a large turbo. I just got lucky cus Bnjmn wanted to go with a smaller turbo for roadracing, and I want a nice big one for drag racing.

Re: Getting ready to put the new engine in!!! (DOHCarp)
I just my manifold today and i thought mine was to big 
looks a lil to crazy for me, hope that manifold works good for you. Do you even have enough clearance from the radiator support ?

Re: Getting ready to put the new engine in!!! (BG Boost)
Wow. That's insane! That oil drain line looks like it'll have to take a 45 degree angle down to the oilpan...kinda "iffy" on that part though.
And even the wastegate has it's own merge collector! I'm guessing this thing isn't A/C compatible is it?

yup a 45 with 12an line to the pan, and I don't think A/C is an option

Re: Getting ready to put the new engine in!!! (DOHCarp)
like the manifold... but you may want to ceramic coat it ... the more surface area the more heat lost to the engine bay ... and boy , do you got alot of surface area there
