Bro your going to do one too? I'm sending out my tranny this weekend to be rebuilt and I think at the end of summer I will do this setup similar to Dave's. I gotta run my boy Gibbons

 

OMG That thing spools up like a 20g , holy cow Dave! Damn i wish i waited a month before rebuilding my 2.0l . Plain and simple just awesome

 

Thanks hyboostm!

 

Dballz lol yeah man might be goin this route real real soon

 

Wow thats some intense climb in the RPMs. Would be real fun on the street.

 

that is nuts.. cant wait to see it run. I want to see it run in the 8 this year. badbish

 

Finally got to watch the video... my god those rpms bang up there when you get on it. It sucks what happened with the throttle body screw, but at least you know the motor is worth rebuilding. After all of your various engine combinations it seems like you've hit on a winner.

 

Yeah, I don't know if this will be the best engine for drag use or not but it will certainly be the best for driving, enjoying and autocrossing. We will see soon enough I hope!

 

its intoxicating, i must have watched it 10x already.

 

After seeing the response of this car I think I changed my mind from wanting a 2.3 with a red or black, to wanting an hta3586 on this 2.3!! I hope you get it back together soon, and thank you for always pushing to make new and better products! That thing looks like an animal, becareful driving around town with it hahaha!

 

I don't think I will need a 2.3 high-rev motor for the road course, as the regular 2.3L should be more than enough, but I am 100% sold on doing the 2.3L. I'm running a BBK Full right now, but I might have to go to a larger turbo for a built 2.3L. Maybe a BBK-B.

I still can't believe how those revs jump in that vid... thats breathtaking.

 

Thanks for the comments guys, not much to say other than it was for sure bad ***!

The head was being welded up today and starting to get reshaped. New cranks from Manley showed up today for this build and a few others. I'd love to see it done within a few weeks, we will see.

 

DB....Since this is your "experiment" any thoughts of running slightly domed pistons to get the CR up in the 11 range? Seems e85 sure likes compression. The slight removal of the gap under 1/2 of the valve at full open might reduce turbulence and allow a little more air in. Not to mention, this has never been done before.

I mean since you are in so good with the piston company and all. : )

Oh and there is something to be said about a car that is "fun" to drive and can do everything you want and more. I think gone are the days that we build these cars for strictly drag racing. I can't wait to get home and go AutoX with you. Remember...."keep your hand off of the shifter" LMAO.

What you are asking has been done......and it doesn't work as well as the piston we are using now.

 

Interesting. I learn something from you every time I talk to you.

I am looking forward to Bad Bish 2.3 version 2.0....lol
