At First ill try with lh2.4 with ECU and ezk from sweden matching this setup Running e85. The Guy from the Shop told me it should Be good for 330hp... Hmm we'll See. But i think Short for Long ill go with megasquirt.. But thatskinda Tricky here in .de
 
The block is now at teh machine shop for bore it up to 1st oversize 96,3..

The guy said hell finish it until friday.. till then ill do some sandblasting and painting jobs to motormounts and stuff.. :)
 
t 2 small?

That is a small turbo for that motor.. I did a b234ft with a regal t type turbo on it, but i guess its all in what you plan to do with the car. Id suggest a t3/t4 with a 54 trim to4e wheel on cold side and a 13 degree clip, or less (but you need to clip it ) on the hot t3 side. That can make in upwards of 400 whp to start, and spool up is incredible, due to the big cold wheel pushing the small hot wheel immediately.. Everything else looks awesome! Cant wait to see some video footage of that monster!

That a pretty random suggestion for a turbo. There are more appropriate compressor wheels and suggesting a clip on a brand new turbo is rediculous. Why not get the size wheel/housing you want if you are out turbo shopping. I suspect/hope that turbo is on there for mockup purposes only.
 
what cam gears are those?

and are you trying to get full boost while ideling? that turbo is way too small.

That Turbo is used in T5-Rs.. which flows considerably more air than a mostly unported 16v Head we'll see how it works ;) Dont forget that i'll run this on LH2.4 @ first

Above i mentioned using a Holset HX35W later when i have an edaquate exhaust header for using external WG n'stuff
What turbo would you suggest?

Anyway.. 1st goal will be to get that motor in my brick and smogtested which is comparable in germany with getting an audience with Mrs. Merkel herself ;)

The Cam-Gears you can find @ klracing.se bought them this year Vallokra for a very nice price together with ARP Headstuds, heatwrap and a nice factory fitting IC..

that one
