It's not about it being special, it's about it being done RIGHT

 

But Mr.B is special! Lol

 

Considering where most builds stop, id call it special.

 

its all of the shelf stuff

my sleeves
diamond pistons
total seal ap rings
bates springs
adj cam gears
custom ground cams
stock crank with extended key
gm bearings
bs delete
josh ported the head

that's all folks you don't have to spend 10 million to have a decent power plant

 

FIC 1200's and intake manifold acquired.

ZZP Short ram, 2.2 alternator, tensioner, and ac delete belt all on their way.

Visual mock up happened this morning for charge pipe and other bits but we got too cold...its -8*F and the high will be around 0*F stupid winter.

 

Shoulda got a kappa lnf alt. Plug and play.

 

I like the direction this is going!

Run it around 450whp or so and let it ride while you build the other motor (if thats the plan). If the motor is healthy and it is tuned right it will take it all day long on the stock block.

 

That is the plan indeed!

If I find one at a reasonable price ill pick one up Alan, I didn't even think about the kappa alt actually.

 

To answer your question Nick, yes.

I picked up a zzp short ram from a member here, I'll either be adding a maf plate to it or a maf housing. Then adding a BOV fitting to it and the charge pipe. Im trying to see what would be most efficient or if the housing routing will make much of a difference.

 

LE5 or LSJ tb?
where you getting your charge pipe from
treadstone has weld in maf's for about $30
Got my weld on bov flange off ebay for about $7

 

LE5 tb
Friend is making it. He made all his own charge pipes and intake pipe for his evo and they look really good and the best part is he's doing it fo fwee!
I'll look there and I'm using zzp's bpv/bov. Uses radiator hose(i think) to connect it altogether. If I dont like it I'll search for an HKS like Alan is using.

 

No issue then because if your ordering a new bov it should come with a weld on flange

 

It doesnt bolt on and it didnt come with an instructions or which springs are what. Guess I'll be calling zzp monday.

 

Instructions would help.

 

When running recirculating the spring isn't as critical. How many did It come with?

 

Came with 3 springs

 

Hmm. I would just call.

 

Shouldn't have to call about a product. Everything should be included that will give you the information to run it safely and properly on your car.

 

Overall I'd say it was cleaner than I thought it would be. I knew cyl 1&4 would be worse due to an issue i had a few years back. Pistons look to be in good shape though, can still see the original machining marks on them yet. Cylinders are pretty shiny and still show machining marks aswell.

Badmab header eth for sale...

 

Not too bad! Youre an 05 right

You guys and your baby cars... I'm pushing (roughly) 400+ at 160k
