Why do u kiddies always turn a supercharged build into an SS/SC vs. SS/TC battle?

Drop it, and keep riceburners thread on topic.

 

They're technically called bs delete bushings but you get the point either way. Stock rockers are ok but if you're gonna be building this thing from scratch, then you might as well get new rods too. No point in re using stockers. Ask 100%meth why

 

There are forged rods in the FS section right now for $200.00

 

If you do rods, do pistons and sleeves as well, and if you do that the budget goes out the window. The stock rods will take anything an SC can throw at them (barring a huge shot of giggly juice on top of that) as long as you don't hydrolock the motor with fuel or have a mechanical failure somewhere else causing the rods to get the business end of things.

 

*giggle*

 

I forgot that happened to you as well Horrible thing to laugh about lol

 

Yeah it is. It's okay because as of now my rods are like Rosa parks in the front of the bus

 

They are beat to ****?





OMG

 

but i can replace stock rods with new stock rods and be ok right? i just do not want to do any work below the head. only way this minibuild is happening. sure, my wet dreams consist of cryod cranks and forged pistons with .000003 clearance but yeah not gonna happen

 

thanks you!

i never said and never will say s/c is better faster more efficient or anything compared to a turbo setup. thats not the point. i'm staying supercharged

that said feel free to keep this thread off topic if it keeps it alive idgaf lol

 

I feel like you don't have an understanding on how an engine works :/ And I am not trying to be mean. We aren't talking push rods. The connecting rods. DOHC cars do not have pushrods.

 

Lmfao I just lost it in class.
And rice, .000003 piston clearance would be way too tight lol

 

i know thats way too tight lol

oh wait. yeah connecting rods yeah i'm not touching those lol those go from the crank to the pistons

i get how an engine works, but a lot of the details yeah i'm lost on. havent torn apart an engine myself before, hence this thread has a billion questions in it from me

 

That motor would get tighter than a Canadian 8k pull in Bismarck

 

You will learn as u go man.

The ecotec is super easy to work on.

 

that's the plan. for now just trying to figure out what i need all in all to do a successful head and cams swap.

as of now the list goes:

cams
75# supertechs with retainers
head (i think my buddy is going to polish and port it for free )
arp headstuds
head gasket (maybe full gasket set)
re-use stock rockers - noone has addressed this question yet but i think it will be fine
probly get new oem valves
lash adjusters
timing set (75k may as well do it)
ait damper
balance shaft delete bushings
tune

good to go?

 

Just remember the old saying. You get what you pay for.

 

List looks good.

Make sure to purchase the proper sealants and such.

Engine assembly lube, flange sealants, loctite, etc.

Check out my GMR head thread. I have my parts lists in there already.

 

I thought josh already started on your head? and x2 on what blue said, theres a lot more to it than just "openerup"
And leave your dang valves alone you trying to save money or what?

 

Well josh has the head, but i haven't initiated him starting yet as i havent paid anything yet. i'd rather he did it too tho haha

idk! no new valves then? i do run shell gasonline

 

Go to the autoparts store and get valve lapping compound, when installing your valves in your newly ported head lap the valves. Look it up on youtube. Thats all you need to do

 

thanks staged. parts added to list

cams
75# supertechs with retainers
head
arp headstuds
re-use stock rockers - noone has addressed this question yet but i think it will be fine
Lap the existing valves into new head
lash adjusters
timing set (75k may as well do it)
ait damper
balance shaft delete bushings
tune
Cylinder Head Gasket 2.0 LSJ 55352039
Loctite 510 Flange Sealant
Loctite 277 Tread Locker
CMD #3 Extreme Pressure Lube
Kent Moore J-43649 Valve Spring Compressor
lots of new oil and ngkbkre7 iridium spark plugs

 

Haha and we all know how tight that is!

This refined list is much better than the previous versions!

 

What pulley are you on? What pulley are you going to?

 

Im on a 2.8 currently might keep it there or go up a size (2.9) depending how the big damper affects the blower speed and heat
