sorry guys, a lil backed up, just dropped the car off, but my mechanic is still backed up, and doesnt work tuesdays.. so the motor will be pulled tomorro. Also the head has not came yet, hopefully today

 

Why dont you do it it's easy. I pulled the motors the first time in my car in a parking lot with hand tools.

 

mines not that awesome, but i swapped out my internals my first time w/o pullin the motor with hand tools

 

off topic a bit but be careful bro....i jus lost 3 buddies from the academy out there. i wanna help u swap the head when u get back lol

 

Im not a professional mechanic, and i dont want anything to go wrong with the build, and i have no idea what im doing when it comes to boostin, so ill let a professional do the work, and if anything goes wrong in the future i can just take it to him.

 

i appreciate it

i expect to see some good gains from this swap...not sayin i expect awesomeness

 

gotta start somewhere
understandable none-the-less

 

didnt receive today.. but did get a tracking number today.. it has left sydney! cant wait for it to get to the states

 

How much do you plan on pushing your engine as far as boost?

 

im down with that ryan lol.
lets help murphy.

 

im prolly gonna start relatively low at first. 7 psi, then 10, then 15, and then we'll see how it holds 15 psi.. but this is my daily driver so im not going all out just yet

 

I know exactly what your saying. If I had a beater with a heater I would be pushing high boost but like you, it's also my daily driver. 7 lbs is a great start and you'll have noticeable gains. I plan on going 10 lbs right away because I am having JRR flash my ECU so I can run higher boost safely.

But going DOHC your definately going to see better gains obviously than SOHC.

 

nice.. i gotta start a lil slower, because of the head swap, not many have this head, let alone boosted it.. so experimenting, i want to approach this build carefully/cautiously..

but anywho.. The head was in LA this morning, going through customs, so hopefully tomorrow it will be here

 

aw man this wait is killin me.. the head just got processed through customs in LA, earlier this morning.. so im gonna expect it to be here saturday.. sorry for delay but its out of my hands

 

chill man, youll get there. if you want sleep early, read a book, finish a video game in a day so that time will pass by.
