What's Bag-O-Chips been up to?


Recommended Posts

After a long battle with Sarsebolapox lol and a wicked cold I've actually gotten some progress done. I decided to change my build up just a little bit too.

 

I've been seeing some really amazing torque numbers out of fellow members and I figured I'd join the bandwagon :lol: So far the build has gone from top-end horsepower to brute force on the street. Thanks to Technology for his help also with his Proven 440hp Magna Manifold I'm going to be a bit more civilized and aim for mid 300HP's and if my math is correct...Mid to High 400's in the Torque department.

 

The build consist of:

 

Non Jet-valve M28 casting

Schnieder's 296 solid cam

Schnieder's HD6610 Springs

Mechanical rockers - Thanks to satty07

DAD's 1mm oversized, back-cut, and swirl polished valves - Thanks to DAD

Technology's Magna Manifold - Thanks again Andrew!

Technology's RC1000cc injectors

Technology's Mustang 65mm TB

SX fuel pressure regulator

S.M.B. - Custom header

Garrett GT4088R

Synapse 50mm wastegate

Heron's 3" Exhaust

Trilogy Turbo's Billet Magna Fuel Rail - Heron

Fuelab Prodigy 41402 pump

Fuelab Billet filter 100 micron

Fuelab billet filter 10 micron

Parker Push-Lok -10AN and -6 fuel lines

MSD 6AL

MSD BTM

MSD DIY Street Fire Wireset

MegasquirtII V3.57 pcb

Psykore's Spare G54b motor :) - You the man Dustin!

4.62 Gear set - Thanks to Starquest Rescue

Griffin Radiator - JohnnyWadd

 

 

 

here's some of the progress pictures! Enjoy!

I almost went through with this but I love the 2.6 :D

I never realized how much of a difference Undercut valves increase flow until I compared my two exhaust valves side by side...

Not only that these valves are huge!

Here's th little guy that i'm using to make those numbers

here's a little cheat sheet I use for 37*/45* SAE and JIC fittings. (I'm gonna use 3000psi hydraulic hoses for fuel lines) Chemical resistant and temperature resistant FTW! even in a blast freezer :)

I'll add more details as I go forward with the build. This sickness has been hitting me hard. I think it almost killed Toadie when we were up at Satty07's place. By the time we drove back he looked like this

what clutch are you going to use?

 

I'm gonna see if I can get my money's worth out of my centerforce/fidanza setup right now. Then when it kicks the bucket I'll throw in a Spec stage 4 or 5. I know it's over kill but I'm aiming for really heavy forces going through the trans... AND! I got dibbs on my neighbors MkIV Supra 6speed :D

 

I might have to call Bill... :huh:

Alrighty then, Megasquirt II is on the way aswell as a 12' harness. I don't recall who told me that but THANKS!!! you saved my butt hours of time!!. I finally got back from the welding shop (i don't have an inverter TIG welder ) to get the Elbow put on the Compressor housing. I've been looking at most MPI setups and I'm gonna try to get the shortest route possible with the intercooler piping. Another thing I noticed from a few proven MPI set-up are the stepped piping. When the garage isn't so cold I'm gonna draw up a 2.25" from the turbo to the Intercooler and 2.5" from the intercooler to the TB. But for the mean while here's a pic! :D

I don't really have too many updates as of yet, but!!!

 

The rods I ordered are going to take a bit of time to get made. They are billet forged XXXX alloy aluminum rods by R&R Connecting Rods.

http://www.rrconnectingrods.com/rrproaluminumrods2.jpg

 

Pistons are ordered too, Wiseco 92mm units with an 8.8:1 compression ratio

 

and the virgin crank has to be sent out with the rotating assembly to be lightened up. The pistons are going to be lightened up by a few grams, the crank is getting lightened and bull nosed too. It's just a waiting game right now. I gotta wait for the rods and pistons before I send out the crank for any kind of work. :(

 

My build just got interesting...

did you check that front cam tower oil hole on that M28 head?

i got a M28 and had to drill it out like indiana had stated.

it was so small it could not be possible to oil the cam assembly.

 

be sure to check it out.

Thanks for the tip! I'll pull that cap off and ream it out. I noticed it was kinda small compared to the oe T casting I got right now...

kinda late for updates but here's the new stuff for the build :D

Fuelab Billet filters

http://a6.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/hs043.snc6/167313_489979622772_603717772_6108930_6470550_n.jpg

Fuelab Prodigy fuelpump. DC brushless with a built in controller, 140gph...

http://a7.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs1375.snc4/164716_489956717772_603717772_6108667_1644490_n.jpg

the black pump will feed the Swirl pot, and the red will feed the motor.

-10 lines up to the filter then necking down to -6 at the rail :(

 

I'm tempted to by the trilogy fuel rail now ;)

Looks like things are coming along nicely! although a little slow ;)

Any particular reason you went with the billet rods? Aside from the obvious weight. Imo shot peened and recon'd stock rods are plenty strong enough for us sub 500 HP guys needs. Don't get me wrong. They are beautiful, just curious.

I went with the billet rods because of the mass itself, it's twice the size of the Stock rod and at the same time they are twice as light. When I called for the rods I asked them how much does this rod stretch and the engineers there made their proprietary allow so dense it wouldn't stretch like their competitors rods. They also said if you had to daily drive the car it would be possible.

 

...this car a daily, not in this lifetime. :lol:

I got fed up with trying to get the Blower motor out to get the rest of the wire harness so I deviated just a little to keep from going insane...

 

This isn't exactly MPI related but since it's part of the build I decided to put them in any way. I hope you guys like it!

It's been a while since my last update, but I've finally found a break in the weather and work So I decided to get started on the wiring harness. everything went smoothly except for one thing... The Gray wire that says IGN is the tach signal if I'm not mistaken and is shielded and has the ground from pin2. Ugh... Like Technology said. All you TBI guys, stay TBI. This is such a head ache if you're no where near electrically inclined. And it's a worse head ache if you are electrically inclined.

Alrighty guys this is a good one! What's Metal, Tubular, Welded, and Made by our Very own S.M.B?

 

BAM!!! Fitment is damn near excellent!!! going to get coated ASAP :)

http://i118.photobucket.com/albums/o113/solidboosttsi/SMB1.jpg

These welds are pretty solid with excellent penetration :lol: I said penetration :lol:

http://i118.photobucket.com/albums/o113/solidboosttsi/SMB5.jpg

After I installed the Wastegate I chuckled a bit ^_^

Doing Spark plugs just started to suck now <_<

Celebratory Milk and cookies!

http://i118.photobucket.com/albums/o113/solidboosttsi/cookies.jpg

 

The quality and fit of this header is second to none. Ebay, SFP, or any other tubular unit has no say against Chris's header. The best part about this all is, once it gets coated in and out it will out last the life of the car. Not only that, but he definitely went over kill on bracing the header. I'm glad he did!, with out it I'm almost sure the GT4088 would cause the whole thing to sag after repeated hot lapping at the tracks.

 

If you want more information PM S.M.B he'll be more than happy to be bombarded with PM's :P

lookin good Chips=) you going ceramic coated? Have you heard about Swaintec coating? I don't remember who, but a member on here told me that it is like a super ceramic coating. He had their white lightning coating I believe. I'll try to remember who it is but the website link is: http://www.swaintech.com/
