Engine Build *PIX*

Tell me what you think...

Looks clean man Show pics of what your going to do with the back of the turbo housing external hole when you get that far along. I'm unsure on what I'm going to do with mine.Also noticed your keeping the 'butterflies' on the intake. Any reason for this?

Wow man very nice! I love how clean everything looks. I really wish I took the time to clean the timing covers and all that junk before I put everything together on mine: your engine looks really really nice.

How do you plan to put on the crank pulley and all the clutch/flywheel stuff? Youve already got all the parts on both sides bolted on, when I put my clutch and all that on I had to mount the engine to the stand on one side (I used the exhaust side cause its alot cleaner and easier to put stuff back)... So yeah, unless youve got something else planned, you're probably going to have to re-strip one side there... No big deal though.

More pics later!

Every time I see that Boost Designs manifold and downpipe, I like it better and better. Of course I still have questions about fitment that the manufacturer couldn't or wouldnt answer:Quote »Show pics of what your going to do with the back of the turbo housing external hole when you get that far along. I'm unsure on what I'm going to do with mine.[/quote]Along with the previous question, I caint really see from the pictures, but is that an internally waste-gated turbo? I plan to use a turbo with that exact spec, but I don't want to waste $$ on an internally waste-gated turbo in order to fit the "garrett 5 bolt ford pattern" on the downpipe. Some more info about the fitment and close up pics would be greatly appreciated.

You can see the wastegate pointing down from the manifold, and the dumptube connecting right to the down pipe.Nice looking manifold!

Is there an echo in here?

Hehe...

Looks nice...shiny. I also like the manifold. Good stuff.

I have no idea what you are talking about.*under breath* stupid technology

I took the butterflies off the engine during the first rebuild....which I intended to be an all-motor monster. The amount of low-end torque I lost was considerable. I decided (to me) it wasn't worth the gain up top.

Quote »You can see the wastegate pointing down from the manifold, and the dumptube connecting right to the down pipe.[/quote]Yeah, i can see that clearly from the pictures.I was wondering if nizmo240sx_22 was forced to use a internally waste-gated turbo, since apparently that is all that boost designs sells, with the external wastegate of the manifold design. See the odd shape of the turbo flange, I believe that only fits internally waste-gated turbos, or it definitely won't fit the end of this turbo (t3/t04e 50trim w/.63a/r)Of course, please correct me if I am wrong.

I've had so much time to polish cause the retards can't send me the right bearings. But yeah for the crank and stuff. I'll just have someone help hold the flywheel or pulley while I torque it. I'll make the engine hoist brackets and have it suspended while I slap on the Fw, clutch, and transmission. Also the front timing cover is held on by one bolt, and the exhaust mani was held on by 2. Just for some pics

How much boost do you plan on running/how much power are you looking to make? What compression ratio are you running?

I see that you did a port and polish to the head...anything else? Is the head rebuilt at all?

If you don't mind my asking, how much did all of the machining/parts cost for the engine rebuild (not including the manifold, clutch, pulley, turbo, downpipe, injectors, etc)?

How much does that boost designs manifold cost? It's stainless steel, correct? Looks extremely clean, and I LOVE clean installs!

[andrave]

thats very pretty.

[chandler]

pimp dude just straight pimp

[chandler]

i got a quick questiopn though, how does the dp connect to the stock exhaust, my hot shot header goes all the way to the secondary cat

Also the downpipe connects to boostdesign's custom exhaust so if you don't get that you will need to make your own extension.
