exactly!!

 

On TVS I didnt think a pulley puller was needed to change sizes? I took out the four bolts and it seems like I need a puller. I thought it was just stuck so I hit it with my mallet a few times and I'm about to have one ruined 2.9 on my hands

 

thats odd, probably corrosion, maybe use a rubber mallet, and some pb blaster around the hub.
or use a punch aimed at the center from the back side of it

 

put like a rag over the pulley before you actually do have a ruined 2.9 on your hands ...

kids these days....

 

Lawl I'm older than your stoner! And I guess I'll try the pb, I was using my rubber mallet but I kinda lost it. Lots of **** goin on right now, sea of parts... far as the eye can see

 

your intelligence level doesn't show it!!!

It's okay, mine doesn't either sometimes

 

Dis worked

 

BTW there's a TVS up for sale on Redline Forums...

 

Not anymore **** went quick. And I didn't even get asked...

 

I didn't want to distract you from your current build!

 

Aww

 

Lol it's all good, my money is tied up elsewhere. Just givin you a hard time.

 

400hp with a TVS is easy. You have to do it with a M62. Remember?

 

Yup. And it's looking easier every day.
Even without cheating like tim and many others by calling a 2.4 an lsj stroker.
It's a freakin le5 with an lsj head. Nothing more. Ppl do lsj head swaps onto 2.2's and don't try and call it an lsj.

 

Didnt know this I have to agree with u changing the block makes it not an lsj anymore. its a hybrid engine at this point.

 

what tim did wasent an le5 it was a gen2 2.0 block with a 2.4 crank

 

I would agree with this to a point if you take a complete le5 and swap it in its not a hybrid though but if you were to use a 2.0 or a 2.2 crank in it then yea or a stroker

 

no, it was a 2.4. can't do that with a 2.0 block.

 

how much money are you willing to loose

I would have to say your wrong it was a gen2 lnf with le5 crank which they claimed a 2.3 litre that was in his redline here is the engine forsale

So a lsj head, lnf block and le5 crank i wouldnt call that a lsj.

 

Hmmm. My bad

Guess zzp shoulda got their facts straight.

Still not a true lsj

 

I never said it was an lsj but the posted info from who built it is what matters tim is incorrect

isn't that nifty.

tip for tvs users on the pulley's. if you're using smooth flow ones, get out a dremel, sharpie and a sandpaper bit. sharpie the inside of pulley that slides over the hub {the big hole in the center} and grind away that small layer. no more stuck pulley.

 

I now have a 2.9 laying around if anyone in here is looking for one

 

574, I might snag that from you. I have to go to Fort lee in late July for BOLC and there isnt an E85 station close to base so I may go 2.9 and run *cough* pump gas *cough* On a side note, I f**cking love my TVS.
