Hi guys, here is a few pictures of my new build.. I picked up the block from the machine shop this morning.. I got the bottom end together today and bolted the head down also.. I need to do all the timing chain and gears and flywheel /clutch and I can soon drop it back in the car. Then I can put the oilpump cover back on and the intake manifold and all the turbo stuff.. I ported the exhaust ports this time around. But I don't have any pictures though..

Nice dude what are the specs on the pistons? Stock compression and bore? also what did you have done to the block? what are you using for rings and bearings? Nice build, will be strong.

did your sig used to be 285whpcavy? I think bought that clutch masters 6 puck off you. I really like that clutch it performs well and still has a stock feel to it. Takes no lifts all day

The same boost that I was running. 20psi should be around 420whp or alittle more. We will see..

nice build man. but isnt stock eco compression 10:1?? so its not higher... right? well i mean it would be a bit do to the .020 but thats it.



We all need somebody to believe in something...

How did I get the parts so fast?? Well I was shopping around to find the best price for pistons. Because that is all I needed because my rods where fine. But anyway I came across this add on craigs list by accident. The guy was selling brandnew rods,pistons and head studs for $600.. So I emailed him and we started talking and hes from pittsburg.. But anyway I got the rods,pistons and headstuds for $650 shipped. If you buy just the pistons they run you around $500. So I took this great deal!! Got the motor done this morning and its sitting in the car now.. I will try to take some more pictures in the morning before I do anymore work...

I still have some work to do in the morning..I also took a picture of my old block that I cut in half to get my balance shaft bushings out.. I hope to to a little video clip of the start up on Saturday. And i will try to get a little vid on the dyno next Friday..

Thanks.. Well I got her done this morning. And she fired right up after I primed the oilpump. I didn't get a video clip because I didn't have any one to hold the camera for me... BUT I will try very hard to get a small video of it on the dyno next Friday...
