Jake's mkIII V8 killer

[92nsx]

I think you might need a bit more to take down some real v8s (ie aim high and take out some vettes!)

Or a CTS-V :biglaugh:

 

[funky_monkey58]

Yes or a CTS-V as much as you love hearing how fast your daily is......
Not that is isn't fast, comfortable and just not right for a four door.

Welcome. You really have some bad supra luck.

I am in St.Cloud. I think you might need a bit more to take down some real v8s (ie aim high and take out some vettes!)

So you all havent let me get to the next part of my story... BHG. that was the summer that i got it. so 2 years ago. I had that fixed, not the way i wanted to. My dad was giving me crap... dont fix it til it is broken. So last summer maxing out my ct-27 i got a bit of a rod knock. Then icing on the cake was when i was racing another black mk3 down I-94 upwards of 120-125 mph. Get off the freeway having a major engine knock now no oil pressure anymore. My first thought was, ha i won. Next thought was now i get to fix my motor the right way

At that point my list of parts where

Maftpro w/ boost control
Aeromotive FPR
Dampener eliminator
Custom intercooler piping
AF/X wideband
Walbro 255

Just some basics.

Now my motor is at the machine shop. it is getting

Wiseco .020 over pistons
Eagle Rods
ARP Head studs
ARP Main studs
OBX underdrive crank
South bend Stage 5 clutch, kryo treated
All of these combined and balanced

That is just the bottom half. So i am on my way to being a V8 killer, and yes Vettes are on my list. I wont for get about the CTS-V either. Anyone can wax a 5.0 mustang or a transmarobird

Sounds like you have a decent base for making a good amount of power. You shouldn't have any trouble whipping up on stock Corvettes, Vipers, Mustangs, F-Bodies etc. However I wouldn't underestimate anyone of those modded.

Lose the OBX paper weight.... :nono:

Or lose your motor. You decide.

Get an ATI Super Damper, or a good stock unit. (ATI would be a better bet)

 

[Xistant]

i like the top colour! very nice!

Takes a bit more to make great power.

As people have stated drop the underdrive.

A stock motor can handle alot with a good tune if it is in good condition.

 

[R3N5LOW]

Set-up sounds beast!

Although, your interior makes me rather depressed.

Hahah

I know I really dont like the idea of that. my factory one is messed up along with my factory crank. so I got a different crank and now i would really like to find a factory balancer. they are 400 or so new is the problem if you have a line on a ATI or more info that would be great... havent heard much about them. thanks for the input:icon_bigg

I KNOW! right,

the interior has changed a lot from the pics. infact there is not a whole lot in there right now seeing as I am-reworking a lot of it

$25 up here in st.cloud I have one lying there doing nothing off an 87 turbo.

Tearing down my motor. here is some pictures

 

[funky_monkey58]

So what are the next steps you are going to take?

Motor is at the machine shop. It is going to be .020 over. Fully balanced. Going to have my valves ground and re-shimmed. Going to use a MHG also. Step up the turbo to a Boss series not sure what trim yet. Thinking Stage 5 61 trim GTS cover, triple ceramic ball bearing. And some other fun hard parts. I am still unsure if I am going to run E85. That was my plan for a while just still thinking it through.

Once i get my bottom end and head back I am going to clean them up. Fire up the good old torpedo heater and get crackin' to put it all back in the car and have it running by the time the salt is off the roads.

Sounds like a plan make sure to make it to the MN supra meet this summer.

Yes, I can help in this perdicamante as I can others. Now why should I help these perfectly good engineers do what they do best? Fail?

I dont think that the really failed... it was all good until i boosted the crap out of it and basically blew it on purpose. Why fix it until it is broken. So I broke it now I have to fix it:biggrinbo

 

[scubajtw]

So I have been tearing some more down. Making a few additions to the interior, and having some fun in the freezing cold of Minnesota

To start with it is cold in MN right now. That is after running the heater for a while!

The life saver!

My buddies thought that they would be funny and write stuff on my car.

TRASH... ARP studs here i come

This is what happens if you use the wrong crank bolt... Also trash.

Plugged the EGR port from cylinder 6. Also running a block off plate.

My dual Walbro setup. Just modified the factory bracket.

More pictures are on the way.
