Default Racepak's ***SOHC BUILD*** D16

Hi guys,

so i spun some bearings a few month ago on my old vitara d16 and decided to get a new engine and go at it again,

new setup:
d16 stock sleeves
vitara 75.5
eagle rods
arp studs
oem head gasket
new oem ported oil pump
moroso 5.5l oil pan and larger pickup

ported z6 head
bisimoto 3.6 cam
bisimoto pro springs and titanum reteiners
supertech flat valves
venom intake manifold

miniram manifold + tial 38
garrett t3/4 57 trim (soon to be replaced with a 3076)
3" exhaust
treadstone tr10 intercooler

Motec m4 ems
AEM EPM
AEM TWIN FIRE
AEM COILS
fuel injector clinic 850cc injectors

S40 B00
OBX LSD
ACTION MS2 CLUTCH
TOYO R888

this was the old setup:



THE CAR:










had to do some mods to fit the bisimoto 3.6 cam





ports:


before finishing:


valve train:







wrinkled valve cover:
this stuff works amazing!!!






intake:

i like:

manifold




moroso vs oem








DONE, just need to degree the cam

painted the engine bay while waiting for tommorow

Hey what bearings are you running? I'm building a setup very similar to yours but my rod bearings clearances are really tight. What were your clearances on rods with the eagles?

Did you have to micro polish out the mains and rods? Looks good, I love the D16z6 with turbo... Why didnt you go with FJ rods?

Yes. 3.6 in stock z6 head. If its hitting, I can't tell. I do think though that I have a LMA going down. Was yours physically hitting?
