WOW, You guys both still have your cars, thats awesome, and how the hell have you been? pm me or find me on facebook.

V8THIS

just did some calculations if i run the 2.5l crank from the 4th gen with a 90 mm bore that comes out to a 2.6L, damn, that'd be dangerous, I might have to do this.

KMO43

Let me know what else you find out about the 2.5 I'm thinking about it too

Do it, do what no one else has done or what people don't have money or resources for.

V8THIS

KMO43

V8THIS

You guys are expensive friends. Making me spend all my money. Lol

KMO43

LOL try mongo, he can probably find what you need for a decent price. I'm gonna be around 10k deep when I'm done, hopefully in a couple months

KMO43

I'm at work I searched for info all weekend pretty much I'll look into it again when I'm home. It said head has improved flow and a forged crank that's all I was really interested in and balanced shafts were in a different spot

V8THIS

Cams 1000
springs 400
valves 500
head 300
3rd gen block 700

fluidampr 450
turbo manifold 700
arp head studs 100

theirs more im sure but thats 8grand in just one pile next to my couch. lol damn.

V8THIS

yeah if anybody ever build the quad-4 LD9 motors for the cavaliers back in the day they are built kind of like that. ill dig into it some but i think im going to do the 86mm stroke with 90mm bore 2.2 lnf for now. i want to try that first.

What turbo manifold are you going with?

V8THIS

im making one, nobody makes 1000 horspower twin scroll t-4 turbo manifolds for solstices. so the 700 was what ive spent on the tubing for the manifod so far.

UPDATES TODAY, 24FEB14.
TOOK OUT THE RADIATOR AND FAN SO I COULD GET TO THE CRANK PULLEY AND BALANCE SHAFTS,


THE OLD DAMPNER NEXT TO THE OLD ONE.




THE OLD BABY TURBO. OR MAYBE THE NEW ONE IS JUST A MONSTER!

Damn that turbo is huge

V8THIS

hehe thanks, thats what she said?

V8THIS

I was a little worried about the fitment of the fluidampner i ordered, it said it was only for the le5 solstice, i was worried it might not fit but it looks like it will work perfectly. So thats good news.
Im trying to finish a couple side jobs right now so i can have more spending money for the project, i want to get started on the short block, i need to get the darton sleeves and have them installed. I still need to call wiesco and see if they will make me lnf pistons in a 90mm bore. I hope so. I think im going to work on porting my head today, i want to put the big valves in a ported head with the stage 2 cams, i hope it idles horribly, is that strange of me?
Plus im still waiting on my tubing to show up so i can start building the turbo manifold and 4" downpipe.

KMO43

Matt says the idle on the stage 2s is ok because of the variable cam timing. at idle keep the timing flat to get the rough idle if that's what you want
