Ecotec LSJgoing into a Funny Bike in Iowa... anyone want to help?
 

I have been a member here for a while, but post very little (sorry for lurking). I am working on a funny bike (using a top fuel bike chassis) and I will be putting a LSJ turbo'ed engine in it. I was thinking supercharger, but I feel the turbo will be a little easier for me to tune... but that may be just because I haven't played with chargers much before. I have the base engine built but have a few minor things to check and do before trying to fire this bad boy. I'm initially shooting for 500hp, and with a head/cam change I'll target for 800hp.

I didn't know if anyone from the Iowa/surrounding area would want to lend a hand from time to time. I'm using a MS3 Pro and I have bench tested some of the wiring so I'm fairly confident I can get that 90% done myself (plus I have a pretty good tuner and MS3 God to help me out when I'm ready to fire). I'll take any help from bouncing ideas off one another to someone coming down and working on wiring, welding, intake, exhaust, or even a beer drinking partner.

I'm located in Wellman, IA (south of Iowa City about 25 miles) and if anyone wants me to start listing components and my setup ideas, I can easily do that.

Thanks,

Jeff

Welcome and yes post pics

My "posting rules" say I "may not" post attachments. Is there another way? Could I post through Facebook?

Thanks,

Jeff

host them on photobucket and paste the IMG links in your post.

Also, Hello from Waterloo!

Hopefully this will work... I've never used PhotoBucket before.

badass man wish you were closer id be down to help

Wondering what kinda compression you're running?

Here is my engine setup:

Carrillo Rods H-beam
Diamond Pistons 10.5/1 w/ ceramic coating
Total Seal Rings
LA Sleeve cylinder sleeves
Stock crank/bearings
Stock cams (for now)
Slight head porting w/stock, but back-cut valves
Cometic MLS head gasket .027 thickness
Balance Shaft delete
Supertec valve springs/titanium retainers
HD oil pump
No Oil Cooler, no water pump (for now)

40lbs of boost (from some type of spinning object :) )

MS3 PRO Ignition/ECU/EFI - ABC....LMNOP... this piece is amazing!

Dual set of injectors - running on alcohol

I have a spare head I will have professionally ported and at that point I will get cams (already know the grind), valves and will move to some different sort of followers/adjusters/lifters

That is the plan as of now.... Let me know what I'm doing wrong.

Thanks,

Jeff

Awesome project. Contact lsjion on here and he can port the head for you. I also recommend you talk to mr.b about getting your head set up with solid lifters.

excellent progress! sub;d

run a stock gm head gasket

lol I think I have seen the LSJ engine used for more weird things than anything else haha.
