Here's the deal....I can either rebuild my bottom end (car has 88,000 miles on it) with the following...


Wiseco pistons with rings 9:0:1 compression
Eagle rods
ACL race bearings...rod & main standard size
ARP main studs
OEM gasket kits

Or buy.....

EXEDY TWIN DISK HEAVY DUTY MM022HD
GSC Beehive Spring & Retainer Kits
OEM headgasket


What would you do???

 

I would do the internals first. Get all the BIG work out of the way first.

But then again, what is your final goal with the car? Is it big turbo and cams, or just minor bolt ons!?

 

I am looking for 500-600 HP. Here is a list of mods.....


Buschur double pumper
BC 272 cams
ETS HTA35r turbo kit w/44mm wg
Injen air intake
bigger intercooler
3" TBE
1200cc injectors
stock 9 BOV
gates racing timing belt
E-85 ----English racing tune
stock block------------------(88,000 miles)
stock ecu
Ingalls engine damper
BLOX Racing Front Engine Roll Stopper
Greddy catch can
Shep Street & strip transmission
Shep stage 3 transfer case
ACT 6 puck sprung
ACT streetlite flywheel

 

personally I would go with option #1. Are you on stock clutch/tranny? If so that is good to know but you might end up having to go with option #2 as you continue with your mods and option #1.

 

I have the Shep street & strip W/
EVO 9 1st gear ratio
REM ISF process gearset with rails and hub/sleeves
REM ISF sleeves
REM ISF hub/sleeves and shifter rails

ACT 6 puck sprung---MB7-XTG6
ACT streetlite flywheel----600205

 

I'd definitely go option #1 then.

 

With your mod list I would def go with option #1.

 

Option 1 easy.

 

Thanks Guys!

 

Wow your car is going to be a beast once your done! But idk how well that Act 6puck will last with all that power

 

Option 1 doesn't sound bad =)

Thanks,

Michael

 

Thanks I hope so

 

option 1 it is....Motor is coming out tomorrow. Thanks everyone

 

take pics and keep posting...

 

If all this is already done, I would built the motor and turn up the boost!
