Progress on built motor *PIX*

Supra isn't necesarily better, but its a more expensive car thats pretty much bigger in every way possible. Plus they're more of a status car.

Hey Ivan you might want to consider radiusing the sharp edges on the piston tops. This has shown to reduce hot spots and increase mechanical octane by increasing flow quality and mixture homogenization.

Someone needs to get one of these engines, run a standalone for about 400 whp, and then just go crazy on the suspension/bracing/brakes etc and make the ultimate all around USDM 240sx for street, autoX, mountain roads, track days, etc. Seems like most of the guys with big power just have basic suspension stuff, and most guys with lots of suspension work are drifters. Anyways though, awesome engine build, I relaly like this thread. Seeing an engine being assembled really helps you understnad where parts go, what they do, etc.

Hmmm, yea... if only we had the money. I want to eventually be able to have all that since my 240 is supposed to be my project car (imagining a classic that people always rebuild from scratch). It might take a couple years, but it'll eventually get there and when it does man will it be pimp.
