IDAHOTUNERS: Big Bore Sr22 Twinscroll Gt30 Build

[idahotuner]

Use a greddy, and never look back!

How are things coming mang?

i have a problem with paying 300 dollars fora piece of cast aluminum. the freddy one i would bead blast and clean up all nice and good. the welded ones are nice, but i am going to drill out and helicoil in a spot for my oil temp so i think a cast one is that way to go plau i am going to do a sheild for it. so it should be fine.

many reasons to change your oil after a short time, when a freshly and properly assembled motor is ready for first start up almost every moving part will be covered in assembly lube, which the lube breaks down the composition of the oil when they mix, also in those first crucial miles of running/driving, all and any loose metal shavings from the build stuck in places in the casting and jackets come loose, and make it back to your pan and filter, also the break-in process shaves and smooths your rings and bearing, releasing more tiny metal debris. reading many motor building books, and talking with the couple machinist's i know, i've been highly reccomended to change the oil after first start-up to operating temp, and another change after aprox., 300 miles, and then 1000 miles, and then whatever you feel comfortable with after that. thats all up to the driving conditions you are exposed to and create with all that HP and TQ. hope this sheds some light on the oil change theroy.

[idahotuner]

yeah that is what i figured. i will probably go about it something like that.

man waiting on the machine shop sucks. i am still waiting for my rotating mass to come

[Colorado Kidd]

thanks. sadly i wont be posting from june 14th-august 21st as i wont have internet. hopefully i will get my block to gether before the 14th

[dhballa8588]

btw tuner... it is still illegal to have your plate in your dash in idaho...had a little run in the other night...the only way you can get away with no front plate is if your car is a classic and there are no stock holes for mounting

[idahotuner]

yeah i know, but i drive my car in washington so i dont have to worry about it, cause washington cops dont know idahos laws

[omega8bit]

any updates on this beasty?

[xhefri]

IdahoTuner is in Alaska fishing for the summer so his project is on hold right now. No internet where he is at! This fall he will be back to it and have some money to do it!

[MastaYu]

i cant wait to see the engine finished

[White Comet]

its too bad that he's away and can't work on the car, but that sounds like a good way to spend the summer. plus as a bonus, this means my car will be done before his

[xhefri]

Ya he really wanted to get the motor together before he went but with so much going on before he left, there was not time. He talked about putting in a stock motor and then doing the build on the side but I encouraged him to just go for it and do the build...should scream!

[boro drift]

Yo Ben, you back from fishing yet? Any updates on your motor?

[idahotuner]

yes i have some updateds but they arnt nescissarily good. i didnt make quit as much as i hoped in alsaska. close but not quit. well i got back and my accord was turning into a POS. so i sold it and bought a pickup. anda tv and xbox lol. i changed schools to go to a cheaper on. but i havent had work for a mont hand have been putting off working on my car until i geta job. so i have been spending my alsaka money for food at the moment. once i geta job stuff will staty rolling. i am going to use a JWT to do the engine break in. but run a stock turbo. witha z32 maf and like 440cc injectors. plus advanced timing to make up for peak boost being 14 psi with the t24. but i should make around 300 to the wheels and have a nice fat power curb. until i get the engine broke in

[mRodiek]

Its about time for an update! lol Glad to hear your back on dry land safely and getting ready to work on the car again.

Your running a T24? OR did you mean T25 lol

thanks man. i feel bad not getting to work on this. i have everything there to assemble. so i might actually at least get the block together in my living room. the lower half.

[JRPS13]

holy cr@p, its about time!!!but we all gotta support our habits somehow...keep everything posted, i know this thing will be a monstermy buddies sr22 with a garbage t3, dont even know why he bought it made 350whp on dynajet and poopfc tune

[47ronin]

WOW Idaho keep up the great work and stay positive, like everyone said this is going to scream. I'm new to the 240 scene but your thread is keeping me on the edge of my seat! I was planning on a build along the same lines as you. But now with you doing a similar build I can see if i'm on the right track. Keep it up dude.

[idahotuner]

dropping my head off tomorrow for a valve job. yay. hopefully my dad brings me down my engine stand so i can start buildign the bottem end sunday.

[idahotuner]

alright i have a small update.

first my photobucket pro account expired and i am pinching pennies to get my motor together so i wont be renewing it fora while. but i might make a 2nd one to show my updates.

i have my flywheel resurfaced and balanced along with pistons, rods, and crank.

the crank was also polished.

i havent gotten my head back yet. but i am slowly piecing parts together

just ordered a brand new B&M shifter fora good deal. gota brand new water pump fora good deal. next i will either buya t25 or my hg..... so next pay check one of those 2.

i think i need new coil packs but the ones i have will probably work fine for now.

i need to geta JWT ECU or pick up a stock one to get tunedsince i am running a 4mm over bore and .5 higher compression.

i have access to free powder coating at my work. so i am thinking about doing my intercooler piping and intake manifold and valve cover. and turbo in let and oil pan. choices are electric blue and flat black and gloss black. not sure what will be what yet.

oh i might do my pulleys, if i do they will be blue.

i have alot of other color choices but my car is black and blue so i am sticking with that.

my head is still at the machine shop but once that is back it will be assmebled.

the mazworx gt3076r kit is really pullying at me as a possiblity for next summer once the motor is broken in.

well there ya go.

[mRodiek]

Glad to know your still alive man! hhaKeep working & if you dont want to use photbucket or whatever use flicker, an extra option.

Show us some pics because we wanna see!

[idahotuner]

another quick update began assembling the block today. wasted alot of time running around getting the misc stuff to do it. but i have the crank in. and bolted down. i just need to put the pistons in and bolt them up now.

[MastaYu]

very nice!
