that would be awesome. did you do any combustion chamber work (smoothing and unshrouding valves, etc)?

damn i feel like an ass I forgot

Well i gt the machine shop to plunge cut the vavle seat's

and took it from there













I even have porting job that uses custom pistons the head will be for sale coming up heads off a 92 as well good for about 9k rpm

and be some what a copy of the group A race head that I have

 

[NashMan]

this is the head

 

[adampecush]

decided to try joining car and engine a bit differently this time. more specifically, dropping the car onto the engine.






Sadly, the turbo and manifold are coming out. Forgot to install the 7/16" studs on the exhaust side of the head and pulled out a few studs. Other than that, this has been the easiest engine install yet thanks to installing the engine, transmission, and subframe from below.

Cheater...

7/16 are really not needed... just heilcoil the stock ones will work just fine

 

[adampecush]

i've pulled helicoiled metric studs out of heads in the past but never the 7/16" ones, so I'm not risking it this time and going straight for the big ones. already have a good stash of 7/16 studs, just need to get a few more inserts.

Hit the dyno. 418 rwhp at 17 lbs. Equivalent to around 450 wheel on a dynojet. New injectors and plugs on the way to cure idle issues and a slight misfire under load.

Nice work, I have always thought it would be easier to reinstall the drive train that way. Especially having a 2 post lift. Solid numbers as well.

What fuel are you running?

 

[adampecush]

What fuel are you running?

Petro Canada 94. Word from the tuner is that Husky 94 is a better fuel.

Car was nowhere near knock in spite of what the sensors were saying. Stopped pushing harder due to the plugs and uncertainty of the injectors.

I was giddy when I got notifications that this thread was updated.

Great to hear that the car is running.

I have your build saved as motivation and inspiration to keep me moving on my white A70.
