looks good man...should haul some ass. The only I would want to change is the wastegae, everyone I know that used the deltagates always had trouble with spiking/leaking...I always used a Tial on my turbo cars and loved em. Can't wait to see it run!

 

I keep telling you to get that 1 traction mod you don't have, then all the torque off the line will be cool.

 

This thread kicks ass, I really think Paul knows what hes doing. Would be real nice if they came out with forged diamon pistions in 8:1 or 8:5:1.

 

I'm gonna talk to another company about releasing a set hopefully.... I'm gonna end up getting a set of 8.5:1 pistons made for now since my boost plans have changed drastically

 

What size external wastegate is that?

 

45mm

 

******* knew it was in the 40s lol

you *****.

 

Who gives a **** about traction off the line! Its a FWD car, **** traction, its all about roll racing with FWD.

FWD FTMFL!!!!!!

 

That thing is a beast...

 

roll racing is for pussies that can't drive. Digs are for real men.

Yes I am... lol

 

^^X2

 

I'm almost postive that it is. Still need to check a few things. I have a spare motor available to me for like $50. I was thinking of building that up since it's cheaper for parts. I do think that the LSJ block is cast differently though and is a little stronger.

 

Yeah the LSJ block is cast inhouse at the German assy plant for the LSJ, but the only diff is casting technique, all of the dimensions and hardpoints are the same, so pretty much ecotec block can be built up the same way, and then substituted for the LSJ, I think there may be some ineterference issues in certain head/block combos though

For sure. I'm not 100% off the top of my head on what the 2.2 eco cylinder sleeves are rated for, but I have .pdf copies of all of GM's build books if you want em, they have teh info and part numbers/specs for pretty much everything needed.

The one major difference with the LSJ is the piston cooling jets in the bottom end. I know other ecos have the passages, just not the actual jet arms themselves, but I don't remember what all was required to get them up and running in them

 

pretty much.... I know the LSJ is a bit denser casting.. and the oil squirters of course

 

Or for people who can't afford to spends ooodles of money getting their FWD piece of **** to hook up.

 

hey I'm not loaded either man... it's just choosing the right mods first. and finding deals (which I had plenty of ... thanks peoples for that)

 

or converting it to rwd

 

lol damn you victory red

 

Come on Paul, you know you want to.....with your connections you will have it done it no time.

 

tis true... but time is one thing I don't have at the moment. might be going in with a friend to open a shop in the near future... so then maybe it will be done

 

ok got all my piping today for the D.P. and the intercooler...all 3" t304 ss. Hopefully get rockin on this thing soon

 

Im pumped for this, and its not even my car

 

lol ... thanks man... just a few minor time setbacks I trying to overcome right now... but this is definitely gonna be done soon.

 

Thats a word I have heard many times about my project.
Definition I have come to understand of the word "soon",
"maybe in your lifetime"

 

Rod, you have more patience than I will ever have. I'd fly down to TO and start smakcing ppl until it was done. But thats just me
