been there done that

 

thanks Sean!

 

Lol, we surpassed that on stock blower.

 

yea...but damn...this whole time i thought it compressed inside the housing...wow lol

 

I know you guys did haha. I just don't know how safe you guys were doing that. IIRC you all have rebuilt your motors or moved on to new cars

 

yeah if I end up going through with this and get a TVS i'd rather not have to do a full rebuild if at all possible and still run it plenty safe, no worries of blowing it up any time soon.

 

Not all of us built out motors because they nuked, though. Some built them because... why not?

 

I want a TVS

 

join the club

 

wish i could afford to do that just because haha.

 

I had my tvs money ready but no one seemed to be making any progress with it besides area and a few others ,so i just said F it and put the money in my savings account.

 

im about to do that actually. piston change, not nuke the motor. i have tried to kill it. somehow it lives.

 

hey area how much power did you make and at what psi?

Do you know where you can get the tvs for the best price?

 

18 psi
307 whp. like i said in previous posts, i wasn't trying to push the car to make big numbers. 11.1 afr and 17 degree's of timing to me is not pushing it. IMO it's a ***** tune.

you can find em at OTT if you're wanting to keep the money in a site vendor

 

thanks

 

Real men dont build their motors til they nuke them

 

now, when you guys nuke your motors, you usually have to buy a new block as well, right? or is it just the pistons/rods that get fucked. Ive never seen a nuked motor that didnt have a hole in the block, but if you guys are doing it this way, it means your doing it the pricey way...lol

 

it really depends on how bad it is. IF its HORRIBLE then yes but most of the time its fine to just bore it out .20-.40 over throw some new pistons and rods in and your good .

 

hmm. i would think either the head or the block would have to get fucked if something broke. rotating metal pieces at high speeds need something to collide with to slow them down, right? lol

 

most of the time the cylinder walls just get fucked up so once you bore them your good

 

hmm... vid of 30 seconds at 8100 redline should do the trick. might break up the pistons and make your work a little easier

 

Only a moron would overbore an open deck aluminum block.

 

isnt a .020" overbore safe on these motors? i know a .040 is cutting it close, but i thought .020 is fine

 

Resleeve it with a stocker or close the deck.

If you dont, you just built a motor weaker than the one you previously blew up.

 

define "close the deck" for me.
