not sure what stage it is. its going to be this one.

I'll be ordering it either this weekend or next week. I feel like adding this as well as my solid front motor mount as well as the BS eliminator will definitely be a good feeling rebuild =]

 

Yeah they have a stage 1 and 2 available get the stage 2 it still keeps the normal idle and it's the one that they got the dyno numbers from. I'm curious about the bs eliminator kit results. I was going to get it a while back but heard some good and bad things from it so never followed through . LSD has it but not running yet and your going to get it but not running yet, I haven't seen a ralliart with it to date and if the pr boys haven't already done it I'm kinda unsure about it.
By all means post up pics of install etc.

 

not sure about pics of install however i'll give my .02 on it after. what are the good/bad things you've heard?

the bse kit i got is using oem parts from russellm. from what ive read the only ppl who had bad things happen were ones using non-oem kits for the exception of ams however their kit costs 3x as much

 

is there a link between the stage 1 and stage 2 cams on their website? i dont see anything except for the link i posted above.

 

I've heard of internal balance issues.

As for the cam it's not on the website but it was discussed when it first cam out , search for rrm's thread on the cam and/or call them up.

 

SSP Ralliart told me the BS eliminator is a very good upgrade!

 

I was told that its actually better to get rid of the BS in terms of reliability issues. That actually having it in has more of a chance of something destroying your engine.

I sent a pm to rock however he hasnt responded to me yet. Im waiting on his answer so I can order the cam

EDIT: just heard from rock that apparently they only sell the stage 2 now so the link i posted above is the right one. SCORE! i'll be ordering it now however i dont think the order will even go through til tmrw...

 

So here is the update:

I have the Crank/Rod coming in on Wednesday
I have the RRM Cam coming in on Thursday
Rest of the Timing belt stuff as well as the BS Eliminator Kit Coming in next week

All that's left is to order the bearings/piston rings

I've been told that since the crank is stock with no machining done to it that I can order stock size/color bearings for the mains and rods. Does anyone have the info for stock size/color of the bearings?

Stock size piston rings should be fine too right?

Hopefully this car will be up and running before the first week of November

If your interested I can give the part number for the acl race bearings I have for my overhaul when ever that comes lol .

 

i just decided to take it to a machine shop and have them measure it and order the bearings for me. probably would get here faster than me ordering them online

current update. everything has come in except the bearings. I got Clevite Race Bearings coming in tomorrow and then the rebuild should be underway

Was anyone else aware that MMNA discontinued rod bearings for our car? I thought that was ridiculous...

 

So figured you guys would like to see a little bit of the progress

The engine as it sits now


Misc. engine pieces scattered along the floor (look there's my RRM P/P Head and IM sitting there) i feel like crap having them sit on the floor


My crankshaft thats all nice and shiny My new rod is also just chilling there. On the right is just lots of bearings and other misc engine pieces (courtesy of RoLSD)


Timing belt stuff and some gaskets. Got ARP Main Studs. White box is my RRM Cam (SCORE!!!! )


Here is the other thing that I decided to do in my free time. I replaced my stock motor mount for the BLOX motor mount. damn can you say that it looks SOOOO much more sturdy than the stock... If you cant see the stock mount is drooping in the center. I had to use a floor jack to raise the trans in order for the bolts to line up


Rest of the build will continue tomorrow

 

Nice looks like she is coming along , I can't and can wait til I get yo upgrade the internals that are just siting at the moment.
