I did replace the lifters today (Topline) and now have tension on that rocker. Test run tomorrow. I hope that was the cause of the new rattle that caused me to drop from an anticipated autox event. not a spun bearing or something else Q: Does anyone sell the 2.2l 94mm crank shortblock (i have no core to send)? |

I dont know how to spec out the motor lol. I just want to start collecting the parts. maybe buy a shell if it comes up. will check whos on FB i can chat with
I check my oil every time but not whats in the filter, never saw anything alarming. mostly copper dust from valve cover/baffles. I wonder if one of the tuner shops took another part from my car lol. if the roller is working then this was hammered from insufficient lift I'll get the camshafts and new set of rockers. thanks (Having the IE oil pan means more fresh oil to throw out lol) The only real way to detect this sort of thing would be oil analysis. Yes you could cut the filter up but no guarantees youll see very fine particles. |
what is it about those artec exhaust manifold + o2 housings that are creating such gains in power? it seems like people are regularly hitting 400whp on stock turbos with those insanely expensive parts
|
It's a well designed manifold and the larger O2 housing helps reduce exhaust backpressure after the turbine wheel. I wouldn't attribute stock turbos over 400 to just those parts tho.
They're certainly not insanely expensive, most tubular manifolds are in the same $1000 price range. |
On the EvoX's, just the manifold picks up about 5% hp on an 18k turbo. We easily hit 480-490whp with the Artec where they usually would about only make 460-470 on a stock manifold or the "other" cast stainless manifold.
As Austin said, they're not insanely expensive. They're priced in line with the other options available. |
It is really nice stuff but you need a reverse rotation turbo to run their cast manifold on a CT

Could you delete the power steering pump and then have an Artec Cast v-band manifold with a non reverse turbo with the turbo inlet behind the right-hand headlight?

Yea that part is always painful with turbos on these cars. Xona and Garrett are really the only decent options. I've been hounding Borg to do reverse rotation EFRs for years but they haven't had enough demand.

Tilton also has cut the rad support and gone to a custom half radiator.
Thats the other issue if u stay standard rotation and standard direction youd have to come up with another solution to the radiator. Rotheli racing had a v band setup which you could do but its pretty extreme and probably cheaper to just buy the right turbo. Im just gutted because i purchased a new garret G series about 3 months before i first saw the artec manifold |

I'm glad someone has been pushing on this. A reverse rotation 7163 would be very nice!

The B1 frame stuff isn't too bad to package but the B2 stuff is another story.
