my ghetto engine what you think alot of ppl say wat all there wires and ----! idk but it works!

volvo bov! and stock air box! the best ---- out there OEM!

this is the most ganster part

the oil feed

wat inside looks like my egay ricer guages and ----

injectors 450s

the turbo t3 t4 .50/.63 ar's alos an eGay pice
eGay wg and atmosphere dump tube.

turbo and ghetto heat shild to protect my home depo 90* rubber crap thats leaking on me now and i cant hear my wg opening cuz the boost leak is so great and also i noticed a loss of power.. cuz im guessing its robbbing the engine of power cuz it has to use ALL the exhuast gas energy to spin that turbo and pump that air that still gets wasted throw the boost leak on the elbo
before the intercooler..

heres the side of my car its ghetto alright..

anouther pic of the motor and the airbox

and the dummy muffler!

So anyone else had any negative effects? See the one guy said his started cracking and chunks coming off, anyone else have this problem? Would you guys recommend this for a build that is meant to last?
the guy who had chunks coming off in the collant were cuz he used moros block filler its designed for good 'ol AMERICAM V8's ( its for iron block! :1) not aluminum blocks just use the devcon liquid aluminum it costs a bit but its worth it;. i used it and its fine.. just dont bore it just get a hone and put std vitaras in there and your good!
and also ppl say the block filling will crack your cylinders i dont think so my motor is fine and cuz hortex craked his weak sauce b16 because he used the iron filler and aluminum and iron have diffrent expantion rates......! (honuh blocks are aluminum!) so it sould be fine just dont bore it but mine is bored 40 over quit a bit too much.. but its holding up 10 psi all day... im guetting it tuned today for 15 psi and putting my gm 3bar map in... will see waht happens..

Yeah I am actually doing a LS/vtec build. This is my daily driver, so I want it to hold up, but I don't want to poor a ton of money into it. I also have a 79 El Camino SS to restore so that is my project/fun car. This is just my daily, weekend warrior type deal. Will probablu try this, some tuner toy rods, have no idea what pistons yet, and my B16 head. Should be peppy (well atleast more peppy than the d15 that's in the slo now)

The general consensus on ------tex's engine, even from ------tex himself when he's having a good blood sugar day, is that ------tex got a bad tank of gas and stood on the gas pedal with both feet. Any normal block would have spit chunks and broken a sleeve, he was able to pull out perfectly good Eagle rods and reuse them.
oh ok cuz i was reading and read somwere taht he had iron filler... well ok thanks for the corection!
well my motor is runing awsome even if i used 87 once... no problems but that was at night but im putting 91 only..

a block with a craked sleeve is either way not a usable block either way unless you re sleeve it.. depending how bad is was messed up. i never seen a craked sleeve but if you just sleeve it should be good aging but then on the other hand just grab a new b block and start agin from there b18b's are all over the junkyards for cheap anyway.
SOme of the filled blocks on HMT have seen 30PSI? I have a ls/vtec with eagle rods/srp 9:1 pistons going into my integra probably with a holset, or SC61 I was only planning on running 18-20psi on stock sleeves but if guys have been running 30PSI on devcon filled blocks I might do it..I have to get my block bored .020" over anyways for the srp's I just want it to last a summer..if ti last 3 months without the stock sleeves exploding i'd be happy..especially at 25-30 psi. Who has been running that much boost on HMT with a filled block?
