Internals done pics

Well I got all the internals done.
Stainles steel Sleeves
Wiseco pistons 76mm
Rods
Polish poted head with titianum valves (custom made)
Will be sparying 100 shoot nitrous for awhile then turbo latter.
Any suggestions?
I know spark plugs need to be colder for nitrous I'll be sparying 100 shoot
specificaly what brand and part # I need?
How about clutch what's the best deal, I just want the actual clutch plate for direct replacement. I'll be driving my car daily and I don't want a lot of jerking when shifting.
Any help will be appreciated




Thanks

The block and head are polished by hand (no paint) that explains the shine.
Is not installed yet it will be done by the end of the month then I will dyno it, I'll post results.
According to our estimates will be pushing 185-200 hp with nitrous about 210 hp with turbo.
I still need a clutch.
Driveshaft pulley
New intake
And big disc brakes, I better get a set!
I'll keep posting pictures during the transplant.
Is an LX block non- v-tec. My mechanic told me that not having v-tec was better for force induction.
And money is realy not that much compare with the time and headaches.
Luckly I have very good friends and bussness associates like Hodaland in Tampa the put it together after the maching shop, no cost for labor 1/2 on parts I love does guys.
Props to Coco he is with Team 935 Dragger and a hell of a mechanic.
Estimated cost:
Rods 650
Pistons 400
sleves 350
Valves 700 kit
used block 400
clutch 400
Machine shop 1600
Install 500
Labor 600
Burning Mustangs,Camaros and Focuses PRICELESS

I think everyone has "the *****" to do it. But looking from his list of parts and prices it looks more like the lack of funds. Just like everyone wants a turbo, but of course it will cost a couple g's. Good job on the build good job on the hook ups for those parts

Like I said the money part is not realy the issue.
And concider that is taking me almost a year, and I bough the parts one at the time,it helps to have an extra block so I did not have to do with out my car during all this mods.
So I spended all my chrismas, lunch, 401k and I have not a dollar to my self,but, the anxiety and frustration of so many little intricate problems that we had.. uggh
I got a call every day telling me how something could not be done or it was done wrong. It requiers a lot of pacience.
I have to give props to this site and the fine ppl that maintain it (Derek) and all the know how guys that contribut to it, with out them I'll still be just scartching the surface on a bare block. THANKS

And is not done jet.
But I'm commited to see it through, I'll definately dyno with out n2o first.
Hope to see at least 160hp.
Man is the hardest mod that I done to my car but I'm having a lot of fun with it.

Almost there,
For a clutch I got ACT pro- street kit (50% Organic 50% ceramic)
Also I picked up an Unorthodox crankshaft pulley should free up some pony's

I'll post pics, the transplant should be done by next week.

hey man if your serious about running a 100 shot you'll need to tinker with the fuel system a little. Do the DIY to convert it so you can adjust the fuel pressure with a regulator and pick up a greedy emanage system to adjust your fuel, as well as your ignition timing.

my question is you say you figure 185 to the wheels. A stock LX will put about 95 to the wheels, with a 100 shot you should already be at the 185 mark...if not alot more. If its power you want go for NX, 100 shot to the wheels baby
i figure you'll be above 200 with a NX 100 shot.
