UPDATE: After 2 years we finally had a piston failure due to a possible failed injector on cyl#4. We will be rebuilding another stock sleeved vitara motor with some major changes to the setup in hopes of attaining 510+WHP and low 10's with mid-low 140's trapspeeds. STAY TUNED!

 

im still rocking cdm

1.68bar? 24-25psi? unless your taking absolute pressure so 10 psi?

 

that's not cdm internals though

 

im pretty sure they are, I was there in woodburn, OR when james blew it. He didn't actually blow, it just didn't run right. They popped off the head and cyl wall #4 was ----.The rebuilt the motor in the parking lot at night. ran another 10.4 pass the next day.

 

The last Ebay 57 trim I saw had a Garrett bearing housing! The unmistakable "A" was etched into it. I think they can't make their own bearing housings, so go with Garrett. I looked inside and it had Chinese internals and didn't have a compressor housing o-ring lol. It's still sitting in a box unassembled as I'd never run one, but I was curious as to what it had inside.

 

Dude just because a handful come out ok doesnt make them a smart choice.

 

well put.

you can get a good look at a T-bone by sticking your head up a butcher's ***..no wait.

 

Aaaaahhhhhhhhh yes. Classic right thur.
