ever get it all finished off? would love to see it!

[mynameisowen]

What happened with this? Some lovely welding on the manifold, what made you go with aluminium?

[novaksaotome]

yes i actually did finish it, it runned pretty well for about 5000 km at arround 6 psi, after i pumped up the pressure to 11 psi, and the pistons didn't like it!!! here are the pics of the setup finished









this engine didn't last very long, but i was producing about 190 horses, and it was very very fun!! i'm now working on a b series to replace it

so the piston melted? Shame..

[mynameisowen]

Ouch, you're pretty nonchalant about it! Did you get it dyno'd?

[novaksaotome]

so the piston melted? Shame..

negatif son, pistons 1 and 4 cracked, but not melted at all, they simply didn't like the extra stress of the higher pressure, but i believe, that the rings didn't seal properly, cause i din;t over bore the cylinders, i just did a hone and new std rings. I guess too much oil started to get in the chamber and then too much pressure built, and... crack!! but well, no biggie, no one over here wants these engines, so i can buy one or 2 for 100 euros lol! but instead i'll be going up a notch with a sleeved b18, i need some biiiiig numbers!

now & then when 100 euros is quite cheap for some - while down here its multiplu that by 50 the cost of a b-series..!! i say ur lucky over there having fun

but comp cams and having pistons that can handle high pressure and ull need a dart billet block or ken block ..

i liked ur turbo setup - the runners look wide and sweet but u should have known that with turbo and rising the pressure - well i think u cant remain on the stock block or pistons ..! am i right?
- 190 hp from that engine is sweet - i think if u kept high pressure pistions that could handle high pressure and if u kept a strong block - i believe u must have hit more than 200+ hp especially if u even had a block gaurd.

well a b-series for u is a cheap buy over there from what i hear 100 euros or probably a bit more ...
ur so lucky dude and thats all i can say good luck.

you probably didn't understand what i meant, 100 euros is for a D14, here nobody wants them. a b series in more less good shape is 800 euros, just the block, no tranny or anything, so don't worry it aint as cheap as you think

the stock map only suports 8 psi of positive preasure...
if i am right
