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.

alright, ill admit im a little drunk....

but what the hell is up with your mani!!!

seriously, what is the advantage over a SST, since you said you had cody make it?

 

Holy hell that manifold is insane.

 

daaaamn that is one crazy *** manifold!!!

 

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.

Sweet. Now just get it together and get some numbers.

 

NICE manifold dude and setup

 

Cody getting all crazy with it Would of made me dizzy welding LOL NICE LOOKING Mani Good Luck on your Project Looking Good

 

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 ?

 

That is the wildest mani I have ever seen!

 

looks like a snake orgy....which is pretty tight.

 

Nice Manifold

 

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?

 

What an intercooler! Nice set-up

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

 

that manifold is ******* crazy looking

 

Not running a core support on your car? j/k looks crazy as hell tho

 

does the mani need to be braced?

 

That mani has to take some sort of award for its INSANE design!!!! I give more props to you and i think chris?? or whomever made than words will express. thumbs up to you cant wait to see the numbers you put down with that thing.

 

im gunna be different and not say a word about the manifold

ok i lied... WEIRD MANIFOLD MAN

lol
nice set up

 

i get a headache every time i see that manifold

 

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

 

nice, but is that style of manifold really all that necessary?

 

That my friend, is a tubular orgy
