Re: new user, ej1 14b mini-me (not 56k friendly)
 

haha, its not like it wasnt there b4 ;D

this is back when it was in the car in the final stages of getting put together, on the d15b7 block (y7 is going in there now)

Re: new user, ej1 14b mini-me (not 56k friendly)
 

i cant seem to stop blowing up sohc motors, my first was a d15b7 that overboosted (wastegate stuck shut), bent the rod
second motor was a b7/y8 mini-me, died of oil starvation, spun a rod bearing (oil pickup tube vibrated loose)
now this is the third. hopefully it'll last a while...

btw if anybody is in the chattanooga area i HIGHLY recommend arrow machine shop. they got me rock rings, rod bearings, and main bearings for $105, and honed the cylinders for $20. did a damn good job of it too, and got it back to me the day after i gave it to them. im definitely taking my ---- there in the future. now i get to learn how to plastigauge, yea :D

Re: new user, ej1 14b mini-me (not 56k friendly)
 

Has that engine bay been posted before? It looks like I've seen it before. Maybe because it's a boosted D ;)

Looks nice man, it'll rip hard.

Re: new user, ej1 14b mini-me (not 56k friendly)
 

yeah, i had the username wdwalker b4, im just starting a new one because that name is boring ::)

Re: new user, ej1 14b mini-me (not 56k friendly)
 

That's what it was. Good job.

Re: new user, ej1 14b mini-me (not 56k friendly)

Re: new user, ej1 14b mini-me (not 56k friendly)
 

there's a few turbo n supercharged cavi's on this site... no need to bash on his ride =x

Re: new user, ej1 14b mini-me (not 56k friendly)
 

his is turboed, he lives like 5mins away from me. we've traded a lot of stuff and helped each other out a lot. hes a bitch :P

p.s. taylor u know im gonna give u a run for your money when the rod-spinner gets back on the road O0

Re: new user, ej1 14b mini-me (not 56k friendly)
 

haha, lets go, wait call me when you get it running. just playing, get that thing up and running faster.

Re: new user, ej1 14b mini-me (not 56k friendly)
 

i knew your car looked familiar. i like how the top of the dsm bov is painted ;D

Re: new user, ej1 14b mini-me (not 56k friendly)
 

bling bling O0

Re: new user, ej1 14b mini-me (not 56k friendly)
 

Damn dude, that is one nice looking motor. What paint did you use on the Valve Cover? How much boost you gonna push through this non-vtec motor? From the looks of it, it aint stock..? Nice job though, looks clean

Re: new user, ej1 14b mini-me (not 56k friendly)
 

ummmmm ok.... :-\
dont know how to respond to that, that sounded like a question like that one time a guy asked me why i needed a radiator that big... ???
it was powdercoated like that when i got it, so i dunno what kinda paint it is. im pushing 9psi like in my sig, and its a y8 head, meaning its a vtec engine (well, true bottom end is non-vtec, but its no problem with a good tune). and no, it aint stock. just barely though, all i have is a little headwork to help it breathe. im not gonna spend money building a d16, my money is going into the ls thats gonna be in there in a couple months. just gotta get me a turbo header and that ct26 my buddy is trading me. i dont have time to drop an ls in there right now, i've gotta get it running by wed. when i leave for tennessee tech. yay for college

Re: new user, ej1 14b mini-me (not 56k friendly)
 

turbo manifold not header foo :P

Re: new user, ej1 14b mini-me (not 56k friendly)
 

That manifold is gonna be glowing after a few good runs! lol. I wrapped my old cast manifold and that fucker was glowing from all the heat held in but it just goes to show that it works. That engine bay look super clean. Good luck with this sohc and hopefully it'll last longer.

Re: new user, ej1 14b mini-me (not 56k friendly)
 

manifolds are cast iron, headers are stainless steel or aluminum. at least thats how i've always discerned between them.

wow i've NEVER had this problem. i think you might be having a tiny little EGT problem dude. lol. i have 1500 degree paint on mine and it only started chipping off after a month of driving it. i guess the watercooling really helps. thanks, yeah im hoping to get a little more than 2 days out of it (thats how long my last engine lasted, the oil pickup tube vibrated off and it spun a rod bearing due to oil starvation)

Re: new user, ej1 14b mini-me (not 56k friendly)
 

hahah, i dont think ive ever seen a alum turbo or norm manifold, they couldnt take the heat most likly, would warp or somthin, melt, idk, somtimes adapter plates cant even take it, but its not really exhuast gasses straight on it, but normaly manifolds are made out of stainless steel or mild. i know there might be some alum manifolds somwhere, but thats one of the stupidest designs ever, they take in and hold so much heat, it ------s good thow

Re: new user, ej1 14b mini-me (not 56k friendly)
 

Old Super Duty Pontiacs had aluminum manifolds. I'm sure there's others, but they're definately the exception rather than a norm. I'm sure they'd be about useless for turbo applications.

"hood painted black for that carbon fiber look"

Re: new user, ej1 14b mini-me (not 56k friendly)

Re: new user, ej1 14b mini-me (not 56k friendly)
