My 2.4ltr H22 (revisited)
Hello, I am testing a new set of Web Cams extended rockers with some of their WICKED cams. These are the first made for the H22. Here are a few teaser shots... testing is on the way. I am not willing to mention specifactions just yet on either the cams or the head work.
Some of you already know about my "street" that made over 300whp. This project is slated to surpass that dramatically. I will keep those interested up to date as progress continues. I will tell you this... Based on the headwork alone, I am very excited!




Some new CNC headwork I have done. I



It's alive! This is the teaser shots working together.
Here is a brief video that some of you might like.

Just an update...
I dynoed this new engine set-up last week. It made 288whp and 210wtq. This is obviously much lower than my previous engine, however this test was done with 12.2 to 1 compression. It wasn't completely planned this way, but I had originally planned to mill this head similiar to my Vance and Hines head, then make comparisons. I honestly am suprised at how well it did, but this is just the starting point for me. I have a considerable jump in compression to make up. Today, I pulled the head of so I can follow my original plan. I will retune next week.
On a positive note, this should be hope for someone not wanting to go so high on compression.
Here are a couple random shots...

This is the block after I pulled the head off yesterday. The head is gonna be milled, so I can get the compression up to where I originally planned. BTW, the copper coating is a ceramic layer. I did some machining to the pistons afterwards thus the "shinny spots". All of this work was experimental for me, so I wasn't totally worried about the bare spots on the pistons... yet.


old look...

Here is the new look!


I milled the head .030". This bumped the compression up to 13.5 to 1. We retuned without any other changes. The temp inside the Locash Racing facility was 100 degrees. The retune yeilded 299.8whp and 215.7wtq.
I have yet to put down some really killer numbers with this engine over my last set-up. I honestly was expecting about 20hp more out of this one, but we did make a few more TQ than last time, so It wasn't a complete loss. I also made this power without any type of airbox or heat sheild between the ITBs. We made about 15 whp with the old air box on the last set-up. I expect that this will only help us once I am able to fab one up. I also feel that when the car is stationary (being dynoed) the exaust fumes can very easily find their way back into the intake. This will kill power. Wether or not this is a factor, should be clear once I build the airbox as well.
So, without an air box and tuning in the very high shop temps seem to hold me back a little. I am just going to have to get this thing down the track to tell where I am at.
I am also heading in the direction of a 17/1 compression motor very soon, so I expect even more results then.
My thanks go out to Locashracing.com for his tuning efforts! I could not ask for a better tuner! Thankyou Joe.

Nice build as usual. Sounds sweetass! Hope once you get that air box fab'd up it get's you to where you want it too be. 
17:1 eh! Good luck with your next project

Thank you guys for the compliments.
I have more plans... sometimes this stuff gets very frustrating, but I am not going to quit.
I sold the TWMs a while back so to be honest I feel the only thing I am really lacking is some serious compression. After all, I have a lot of Money tied up into things that could be considered overkill.. my last engine made slightly more HP with a lot less money. I feel that it won't be long before this comes together for me.

Nice to have a engine last at that power level. so far torque looks great
Look forward to your progress

is it purely coincidence that you and "Sheepey" both have had vance&hines headwork and that sheepey works at web? did he do those cams? i dunno, maybe he doesnt work there anymore.
what sort of fuel are you going to get to atomize at 17:1?

To everyone else, thankyou for the compliments!
Honestly i dont see what all the hype is. I mean cmon, this is 2009 300 is much more common these days. for all of the specail things done to this motor I say no thanks. I will keep my off the shelf parts and make the same power.
