Well tomorrow starts my build. Everything that is going into it is...
Diamond forged pistons, Crower Rods, Cometic Head Gasket, ARP head studs, Darton Sleeves, Neutral Balance Shafts, JBP Stage 2 Tri-Flow Cams, JBP Stage 2+1 Race Head!


Most parts wont be in for like 2-3 days but the head will take the longest timing in at 8-10 days to make sure its treated right! but I will have the motor out of the car tomorrow night and then the tear down begins!

 

better get bwarddd's phone number lol

good luck with the build

 

Good luck. Who's doing the work?

 

No valve springs? That was one thing I got the impression in going through that 300hp build that was a gotta-have-it replacement.

I know a couple people with different cars that have had valve springs and/or valves do their motor in.

 

He doesn't necessarily need them but stiffer ones would be more suitable if he was trying to raise the rev limiter. If he was trying rev higher without the proper valve springs, he could experience valve float.

The springs should be fine as far as the power he's looking for.

 

I believe the Stage 2+1 race head includes better springs and such IIRC.

 

what HP are you shooting for? sounds like you'll be able to get her up to the 450-500HP range. sounds fun

 

I think the JBP stage 2 read had has all that included.


BTW whats the difference between a JBP Stage 2+1 Race Head and a stage 3

 

The Head I am getting comes with everything new in the head. Nothing stock will be left in the head besides the Stock Valve Guides.

 

Stage 3 Head uses mainly Ferrea Parts including the valves and everything. The stage 2 head uses all JBP parts. Its funny because on their site all the JBP parts are more expensive than the Ferrea parts so why pay $800 more for the stage 3 head when the stage 2 head is technically worth more... Anyway the +1 stands for the Head being Coated to reduce heat. also I will have their Stage 2 Cams

 

Hopefully Ill be over 350 and if Im superlucky over 400 with water/meth.

 

Well the car is officially in the shop. Will be taking the motor out and starting to tear into it tomorrow. I will take plenty of pics of old parts next to new parts when they start rolling in. so far the total will parts/labor and things is $7400. whew!

 

wuss do it yourself FTW
anyway congrats man wish i had the cash for some jbp parts


I went a different route, and i learned alot and now feel competant to do my own work for my turbo setup

 

Im not doing it myself. I will have help from them while I do everything. I will be doing the work with them. I am just paying them some for helping me out.

 

317-627-7145

talk to ya soon

 

Good luck with it all . Im really intereted to see how some of these head/cam combo's are gonna come out . Are you still gonna use the M62 ?

 

M62- Yes for now... hehe. soon to be a Super 20G from Hahn! but shhhhh!

 

go to the redline forums theres a guy im getting my head done through thats tops the JBP head for price im paying 900 and essentially getting the same head as stage 3 from jbp, WHAT JBP CHARGESn is ridicolous

 

I thought the same thing .....hell , a PAIR of heavily ported complete LS2 heads cost much less than 1 stg3 JBP eco head .

Cool on the turbo 06 .....hate to see that very capable engine wheezing thru a collapsed lung

 

i also foudn he excact same cams JBP sells for 200 bucks cheaper , gournd by the sam guy but sold through a different company

 

Update: Motor is out torn down. Blower was sent out for porting, Head will be sent out on Monday to JBP for the Stage 2+1 head and cams, Block is going to the Machine Shop for tear down and putting pistons, rods, neutral balance shafts, and balancing it all, My SPEC Stage 3 Clutch is gone! Something went way wrong with the clutch it was ****!

 

That sucks to hear about your clutch. Was it defective? Got any pics?

 

And where might I find these?

 

Good luck with your build. Will look foward to hearing your results.

 

No not defective. I only got 10k miles out of it and only to the track once. I will never go with SPEC again. A Stage 3 clutch should be able to take much more abuse than what I gave it. It slipped on 1-2 and 2-3 sometimes even the 3-4 shifts! It was just a shitty clutch. The springs got knicked from something and the friction material was almost gone. Maybe would have gotten like 1-2k miles out of what was left with no WOT runs!
