wowie, doug!!! i'm so excited for you!!!

such pretty pics documenting your rebuild, too

 

WOW, that's awesome . It's funny, I was about to PM you yesterday asking how the engine build was going; and here you are .

Does the ATi damper allow you to run the PS?
When is the tune going to happen?

 

Dam i wanna see it in person, cant wait and EXPO's not to far away as well... Look pretty all nice and clean and ready to be placed back in its home sweet home of a shell ....

 

Man doug, those pics are awesome.

engine looks great!!

chris - who wants some L glass!

 

Simply beautiful ... and I usually only comment that way on the **** sites! LOL!

 

Simply beautiful. Thanks for posting pics. I learned some new things just by looking at them. Enjoy!

 

wow, that looks awesome! good work on the build and good choices on the products too cant wait to see what this puppy will put down!

 

Nice Build! My only gripe would be the Moroso oil pan, mine always leaked and I couldn't ever get it to stop. That was a few years back tho so maybe they've fixed it.

I think its more an issue of them hating you.

Motor looks awesome Doug. You're car is really going to move now, which it already did before.Great pictures as always too man.

 

WOW! sweet build

 

You mind me asking what pistons are those? How much static cr will it have?

 

doug those pics are sick

whens it getting tuned?

I cant wait to hear ur numbers

 

Thanks everyone... to say I am a little pumped right now would be an understatement. Watching the engine go together yesterday was fantastic.

The static compression on the engine was measured to be 11.9 to 1 which is right about where I wanted it to be.

The Cams were dialled in to Skunk2 specs.

I've been running with this pan for 6 months without any leaks.

I'll have to let you try some of mine out at the Expo, but only if you be sure to capture some on track shots of me

 

Damn! Clean as hell

Yes there is another pulley that gets mounted to it when you run PS, its included with the damper.

The tune is not likely to happen until the spring time when the car comes out of hibernation.

 

I didn't realize 3.5 lbs could be shaved off of the crank. And I wasn't familiar with the ATI pulley. I'll have to do some reading up on that.
When I had an Integra RS about 4 years ago, I rebuilt the engine in a class I had, but that was with stock parts and specs. This is the way to really rebuild your motor.

 

" Sooo hott, want touch the throttle."

 

you could take pictures of a 2x4 and they would be awesome

Doug.... glad to see things are moving rather quickly for you

 

wow 3.5lbs off the crank, thats a lot of material

shes looking nice
