Why does your belt look too narrow?

Evo 9 Intake manifold is getting painted black to replace existing one.

 

Finally got my car back.

 

And my 2.4 str0ker 6466 turbo

 

How much HP you pushing out?

 

Haven't got a tune yet. I'm still running on my old tune. 500hp on pump gas 93.
Looking to retune next month after I get back from vacation.
I'm going to run on e85 and aiming at 750-800hp.
Just got my car out from the shop, everything still fresh and new.

Will let you know when it's tune!!!!!

 

Sweet, I just purchased an ATP Gtx3582r for my 2.3, hoping to get at least 500hp on pump, don't have much faith in the tuners where I live. Currently running a Kinguawa TD06 25g, got 400hp at the wheels.

 

You should hit 500+ easily with some extra mods. The only things that I would consider important when hitting all day driving on 500+hp is I-beam rods, aftermarket crank and beef up your valve train. I see a lot of people running oem crank but it won't last long. I don't care what they say but they never tell you the truth.
Where do you live so I can check to see if you live near a good tuner.
Not all tuner are great, they will blow up your motor.

I have a gt3076 before, I made 546hp on 93 pump gas with 30psi.

 

Just FYI OEM cranks are good for TONS of torque. I believe it was English racing who said they had used them on 800+ WHP cars without issue. There's reason to go with something like a K1 crank depending on your build. However, OEM cranks are very robust.

 

Absolutely not, everyone that say the oem crank can handle 800hp for everyday hard driving is gotta be out of their mind. Or perhaps you have money out of your ***. Spending $1500 on a billet crank is the best thing you can do for your car and your wallet.
I have broke my oem crank on a 5xxhp. Crank just crack between 3rd and 4th cylinder. I drive my car hard everyday. And that's how I like to drive it.

Anyway, my point is spending $1500 on a billet crank when you get everything done at the same time. Or not spending $1500 on a billet crank and risking your oem crank crack on hard daily driving and pay for a new block, machine shop labor,or if you unlucky then you might have to get new rods and pistons and all the bearings. That would be another $2000+.

So at the end, it would be safer to get one now. Because everyone is not happy when they hit 500hp, they want more and more and more.

 

Billet is the best, I won't argue that. However, for most the stock crank will handle anything you can throw at it. That is not just me saying that, its reputable tuners and venders. I asked this question years ago when I was new to the platform.

The main advantage of an aftermarket crank is their light weight. As English racing stated, they've never seen a stock crank break.....and that's saying something.

Not here to argue though. I just respectfully disagree.
