Our turbos are larger than normal units and are pretty heavy. And the manifold is pretty heavy also. Extra bracing just ensures that you don't crack something.

 

That sounds like a smart idea.

 

I wonder who thought of it?

 

Update?

The crank is still at the shop. He had a few more motor orders and asked me if he could get started on those. I said sure since it's still winter out. The supertech springs hit the head so I had to dremel some metal out. Got that taken care of. Working on talking with jet hot about coating the mani and turbo hot side for me.

 

I was thinking about doing that myself, but I heard it still cracks after time. I'll have my manifold next week and i'm swapping turbos as well so I could do it too. I was also thinking about the bottom of the wastegate. How much do they charge

 

For the ZZP mani and turbo backside they said 400.00 so I say f that idea lol. Buy a turbo blanket for 100.00 from precision.

 

Mother of God! What do those ppl think they're doing gold plating

 

Yea its crazy.

Ok, just got back from picking up the block and stuff. Heres a few pics of the stuff. I didnt take a pic of the crank but everything is balanced to within a tenth a gram and good to 10,000 rpms. He had to make the rod big end and small end a little larger because the clearances were way to tight. He also deglazed the cylinder walls for me

 

This thing is going to be insane.

 

Really want to see this completed.

 

Those look pretty, will the bride be wearing them to the wedding?

Will have to make a trip to Norwalk this year when you run this beast.

 

Lol I noticed the book was in the pic after posting. And yes you will have to make it out, might have to help push it home after the tranny goes boom lol.

 

I can always bring the truck to pull you home.

 

Lookin pretty promising!

 

this is gonna be a monsta

 

How many PMs are you getting with people calling dibs on all of your mods when they go up for sale after the wedding?

 

Thats why I am getting thongs done now lol. The wedding is in 2012 so I have a little more time to mod.

 

But our tach doesn't go to 10,000rpms. Haha.

 

I am not spinning it to 10. Prolly stop at 8,000

 

Lol yeah I was kidding. But I bet 10k would sound insane.

 

I bet it would. My bearings should be here tomarrow, and depending on what I need to have done for school I might get it put together this weekend.
