Re: Wasn't the IM, Valves are Fuxored (Page 178)! - The Speedfoos' Turbo Thread!!
Not bad at all for two hours.. looks like the Suzuki 90hp heads I got to pull off this past week at school.
Cars still give me the creeps though.... these heads and blocks and everything you're taking apart is about 90% the same as whats on these outboard motors.. ecspecially when I went into my Honda course a few months ago.. but im still tempted to take everything on my engine apart.. my luck with my car just stinks..
Re: Wasn't the IM, Valves are Fuxored (Page 178)! - The Speedfoos' Turbo Thread!!
Not much difference between a Suzuki 90hp head and a Honda 127hp head I'll bet!
Motors are motors man, as long as they are OHC, piston/rod-based, instead of pushrod or wankels, they are pretty easy to work on. Congrats on the cert!

Thanks Steve! You should probably change your sig on here though.....
It got inspected, failed, and then while it was torn apart in my driveway, it magically passed. Gotta love hookups! Trying to get in order to go the track one last time before she ships. I would love to change an alternator and be running again.

Thanks! For me, half the build is in the looks. There's no point in putting a huge power mod on the car if it looks half-assed and dirty when you pop the hood. I'm a bit of a perfectionist when it comes to stuff like that I guess.

LOL - she's not going on the dyno again until I get k-pro. The only numbers I should be seeing is when she goes to the strip next weekend!
Re: All Fixed. New head, same cam, new vid (page 184)! - The Speedfoos' Turbo Thread!
wow! after all that struggle and work, you got it running nicely.
i heard you say "needs more boost". what psi are you running at?
have you dyno'd yet?
Re: All Fixed. New head, same cam, new vid (page 184)! - The Speedfoos' Turbo Thread!
9.5 psi right now. She goes on the boat next week so I won't dynoing it anytime soon. It's gonna need a new clutch before I **** with it anymore though. She slips above 6K now!

Yeah Tony, I'm stoked. Home and auto loans got pre-approved last night. Although I am soon to be $270K in debt, I guess that's the price you pay for growing up!

LOL - lots left. Need k-pro, clutch, possibly another PnP head (Royce, I just need to get my address in NC), and an ES1 chassis!
