Well, I actually received it on Wednesday which was just in time to wrap it up and put it under the tree, haha. I swear I saw Mark dressed up in a Santa suit dropping it by the house LOL!!!!!
Anyway the motor looks awesome and I can't wait to get it back in the car and get her fired up! I still have a few more parts to get, but it should be done soon.

Now on to the motor,
The head was given the full works. It was ported to the extreme and assembled with bigger valves and dual springs.
The block was assembled with Oliver Rods and Wiseco pistons. It was O-ringed and machined for all the proper clearances.
I am using all ARP hardware (to include their decked out L19 headstuds) to hold it all together.
I plan to run an HTA GT3586R turbo and push it to the max. My power goal for this setup will be 700+whp.

I don't have all the specifics, but I don't mind at all if Keith chimes in if anyone has questions.

Thanks for the great build,
Barry

 

2.0l or 2.3l? What compression ratio? What intake manifold do you plan on running? Nice engine BTW.

 

TTR FTW!!! They do some good motors there! I cant wait to get my AEM done soon!

OMG! Please read the thread title before posting questions like this one!!!

 

It is a 2.3L. I am not sure about the compression ratio, more than likely it is 9.0:1. I will be running an AMS VSR w/ a stock TB.
Thanks for the compliments!

It's no problem. Sometimes it is overlooked.

 

Lookin good Barry. Good luck getting it together. Is bean doin all your o2 housing, dp, and IC piping too?

 

oops, sorry I was drooling over the ports on the head still when I wrote it. I was feeling a little light headed too. NO Really, Nice job on the Head.

 

Nice to see you got your motor Barry looks good cant wait to see it come all together..

If you ever need an extra hand let me know

John....

 

All the way to central NJ to get a motor built! No-one in NWF good with Mitsu motors??? I'm from Milton but live in NJ and very close to TTR and IveyTune last 5 years. Too bad you only have 1/8 tracks around the house! The 2.3 & 35r is same setup I plan to do....good luck and keep us posted on the progress.

 

Thanks man. I spoke to him about it briefly, but it was a no go. He would need to mock it up on the car.
Maybe somene will be generous enough to let Keith use their car to throw my kit on and build me some pipes? Hint, Hint, LOL!
It's ok. I will probably just buy the Full-Race downpipe. I still have to figure out the IC piping. I contacted Full-Race about everything, but I haven't got a reply yet.

Thanks .

 

No problem man.

I have been dealing with TTr for a while now and I wanted them to do the build. I didn't really want to take a chance going with someone local that I don't know much about. The shipping really isn't all that much and plus you get an awesome build .
I don't really mind the 1/8th mile . I would probably run out of 4th gear on a 1/4, but I didn't go with the stroker for drag racing (although fun). I wanted a torque monster haha!!
Maybe I will go with some different gearing in the future or just drop back down to a 2.0L.

 

WOOOT!!!!
Its gona be bad a**!
I'll see you tom man.

 

barry,

since Mark and Keith finished your motor.

maybe they can concentrate on my car lol

Steve

 

I thought it will be back here next month???

 

Haha, nice. Sorry about that man.
