The Project Pad

Good to know! I was not sure how much they could flex.

Still shopping for stuff but it is getting to be crunch time.
Hoping to pick my Holset this week.

Still need exhaust manifold, downpipe, wastegate, BOV, misc lines and charge air pipes.

Headed to Philly for two weeks then it will be crunch time for BBQ2!!!

It is getting crunch time....Hank has been planting bad ideas in my head about a short block and rods and other evils.

Resistance is futile. The force is strong with this one.

Hank leave these guys alone! We want these projects wrapping up in time to make it to Vegas NEXT MONTH

The reality is is that it does need rods with the 30R and 25psi. Rigjt now I hit 20 psi and 340whp. The 30r comes on so strong rods are coming through the block one of these days if I'm not careful.

Yes indeed the force is strong with this one, but it has not always been so. Early in his training, before he was allowed to wield the power of the lightsaber called TIG, he was more concerned with paint color, dvd, tunes and other low priority items. It got to the point that these diversions were given priority over a working 2nd gear, 100k timing belt, brakes, suspension, and even.....are you ready....HORSE POWER!!

May he live long and wield the force with power, integrity, and compassion for those of us with less than 200hp.

So was that the Dark Side or the other side?

As you know, the force can be used for either good or bad. It all depends on ones perspective I suppose. There is nothing wrong with nice VS function. Personally I think a well executed form of function is where it's at, but there are those that would put luxury out front. I think that when it gets to the point that a hybrid is good because it serves the purpose of getting you there and there was no enjoyment in the process.......That is the dark side!!

We've turned Ed's project thread into a "force" discussion.

Is it done yet Ed?? :wink:

Its not going to be done till it starts and it's not starting till 8/19 at the earliest :p

Is this picture backwards?

AFAIK, the picture is unmodified. The parts in the pic are not sitting the way you'd install them.

I figured it out. The wastegate was throwing me.

Just bolting that to your 034 7AT??

I am getting that whole assembly from Loxrider (Chris) and bolting it to the 7a in my 1991, with a few other parts. Not shooting for the moon so the rods and pistons should be fine.

running the chipped ECU from 034 that came with the kit??

Nope. Standalone.

whats your HP goal?

I think 300awhp is reasonable with E85. I have a feeling that I could find the rod limit before the piston limit but I'd rather not kill a good engine (at least until I have another built).
