i said i was drunk, not stupid

nice try

 

this guy^

 

lol nice infliction, i kinda want to debate putting in pistons, thoughts? I just want to make good reliable power around 300 whp, how much more is it going o cost/time will it take to drop pistons in?

 

^^^ bump for answers

 

sub'd b/c max is a cool dood

 

Oh hai Max.

 

<< need some knowledge

 

Happy Birthday to MAX!!!




don't drink too much. this is what's in your future 3 years from now...



so don't die on me man. i'll have her waiting for you 3 years from now.

 

When the head comes off i'd inspect the cylinders/piston tops. To do the piston swap expect at least another 5 hours labor minimum. They also come at a price, a little noiser/tiny bit more oil burning.
*Edit*
And to top it off, add the cost of new rod bearings(why reuse if they are being taken apart anyway) which are cheap around $25 for the set, 8 new rod bolts(dont remember price), and the cost to rehone the cylinders. Then you have to worry about proper ring gap and yadadada just not worth it if you catch my drift.

 

^ are you saying the whole thing isn't worth it? I personally think max should just save his money. his car pulls like a rape ape

 

Just found this now max, sub'd

 

Not worth it for his plans imo, his 'problem' isn't even bad. He SHOULD get in the cylinder with a boroscope to see any scoring/scratches on the wall. If nothing is there **** i'd say **** the whole thing and save the money.

I only built mine because I had planned on spraying it a **** ton but when I lost my job plans changed of course. Now it's just a measly stage 2 car with pistons in it LOL.

We could always just swap motors too Max

 

i told him that in the first place. i told the story to my dad who is 61yr's old and he said no point in pulling apart the motor for a little bit of wear.

dan, when can i come down and check my compression with your compression tool?

 

^^ i haz the tool! Yes I have the head gasket kit and rods and what not.... If I can find a place to do the test with the boroscope then I could do that to, but I ve been hearing a little bit of chatter that i havent noticed before on the number 4, could be the timing chain but i dont recall it being there before. I still think have a 20% leak and not knowing if its the piston or a ring is still kinda...... scarey

 

Are you free sunday? I was wondering if sunday night if I came down the shore if we would check mine out before I start putting on all these parts and find out my engine might already have problems. lol

might get dual pass + option b and put it on the car but not sure yet. also ls4 tb and 3" intake is on. jamican me think the stock exhaust is holding me back but you know what i dun give a ****. lol

 

update....

Boroscoped the cylinder and there was no indication that the piston was damaged (cracking, broken) Saw that the tip of the plug melted on top of the piston head but now it looks like the detonation had damaged the valves and not caused the piston rings or ring lands to blow. There is a slight ticking/tapping noise coming from the valve train that was not there before so this is now a matter of getting a new head on bc the valve guides might be getting fucked up. Dynod it for ***** and giggles and came in at 240/209....... from a previous 262/228....... wow

 

Updated... FOR THE WIN!!

 

semi win injector will then be win

 

where's the vid's at? also billing'ssssc/sc didn't even make 300whp? i saw charts of 310 or something but thats not corrected (10) i belive for std smoothing.

and mr. tuner x when are you going to come hook me up with a toon. lol

max ftmfw!

and the drunk dude who just chills in my basement. lol

 

go get dynoed on the ported head.

 

he wil,l id like to see the graph but he put a 2.8 on at the same time so we wont see the real difference in installing only the head

 

close enough. biggest difference would be tq when it comes to pulley swapping.

 

true

 

It was like 299.7 corrected, but 303 uncorrected. Everyone posts their uncorrected charts anyway

 

i posted up my corrected numbers last time on the old dyno and was still over 300whp on a 45shot on gm stage 2 + 2.80 pulley running gm stage 2 toon
