she will live again







All in all not too bad, cylinder head and everything but the block and rings on #1 made it through in good shape.
Sleeved block and more craziness coming soon

 

Cracked ring landing on the 1st cyl and the sleeve cracked damn. Darton Sleeves next time?

 

nope piston is fine, just the sleeve went.
27psi was a bit too much for it I guess. Full race setup coming soon.

 

Well good luck with your build. I will be ripping mine apart within a month and building her up. Ported head, valve springs, forged pistons, arp head studs, the works .

 

lol pulling a shaun eh

 

sorry for your misfortune paul. I look forward to hearing more dyno numbers from you in the future.

 

glad the damage wasn't TOO bad, and that you're deciding to keep it and rebuild

 

Good to hear. I was hoping it wasnt to damaged

 

Paul.......

DOITFGT!

 

wash/wax, and it will be good to go

 

lol, waiting on my obama home buying check to get here, pay off some bills, and rebuild this thing. Probably be down for about 2 months give or take as I"ll be playing with my gt3582r 93 rx-7 for the time being. but shee will be back with a few additions, namely darton sleeves, billet oil pump gears, and maybe bigger cams. 550whp will be acheived at some point. The car was an absolute monster on 21psi the day it blew, scared the crap out of a buddy of mine leaving 40 roll burnouts for about a 1/2 mile. 23 psi was nuts, 27 was crazy until I went to shift to 4th and there was nothing but smoke.

 

Good to hear your not selling her! I look forward to seeing what she'll do on a full race setup!

nothing a little 44K cant fix.

 

looks like fun

 

oaul you do realize only your motor would have that little damage from braking right? lol

 

lol I know, wish it was the stocker that blew though, that ****** was stil running strong when I pulled it out.

 

Glad to hear Paul. Let me know where you pick up your sleeves cause I'm still looking for a better deal than what I have found so far. I just need the sleeves and some money for the machine shop and mine will be back up...

So is the RX running?

 

Rx is on hold til next week, turbo doesnt' ship til monday, damn gun drilled compressor housing lol.
I'm waiting on 3 quotes to come back in on the sleeves, have a guy not too far from me that originally built my motor, great price on that, hoping a good price on the sleeves.

 

how much are the dartons?

 

If you get a good deal, probably around $400...

 

I"m anxiously awaiting some quotes to come back to me. Need to know how much cashola I'll have to drop. I can't wait to get this ****** back together again. I might be going with a slightly bigger turbo setup also, but we shall see how the money situation works out

 

very unfortunate but as i stated before this was a timebomb. you laughed at me when i said to sleeve it the first time... i picked up my dartons for 5hundo and got the machinework done for about 6. and 40 i believe to press each sleeve. its quite a cool process. they heat the block to expand it and they cool the sleeves to pull the molecules tighter in essence shrinking them. it all gets loaded into a press and it stays there for x amount of time until the block shrinks down and the sleeves expand back out. once that process is done the bock is decked and your ready to mate the head. its a really cool process. best of luck paul.

 

Glad to hear the damage wasnt too bad that you were going to have to sell it....I enjoy seeing this build...I'm sure the rest of the community is too. Good luck on your obama check...I'm on week 16 waiting for this thing....a friend of my just sent his out a month and half ago and got his on tues!!!! I'm getting the shaft here!!! I called the IRS and they said "the check is being processed right now" not too impressed....oh well....I cant complain since I still get 8g's free.

 

hey Paul did you get ceramic coated tops on those diamonds?
