DieHARDmitsu. Posted November 7, 2015 Report Share Posted November 7, 2015 (edited) Same here. Fun to build especially the g54b which can easily make hp and tq equivalent to motors twice its displacement. Edited November 7, 2015 by DieHARDmitsu.

TexasQuest Posted November 8, 2015 Report Share Posted November 8, 2015 Our motors are one of the most hated on engines of all time. I love it when they make power and shut peoples traps up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 8, 2015 Report Share Posted November 8, 2015 Our motors are one of the most hated on engines of all time. I love it when they make power and shut peoples traps up. I always get "How many haedgaskets you've done on that thing?!" From a murmer I can be heard saying 3x's! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tsi_tom Posted November 8, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2015 What happened that you needed to replace it 3 times? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedyquest Posted November 8, 2015 Report Share Posted November 8, 2015 The only time I've personally replaced a head gasket on a g54b was because the head was off for an unrelated reason (upgrades etc). I think as long as you keep the motor from overheating these motors are very reliable. The problems people have with them are not mechanically the engines fault. It's improper maintenance or assembly imo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tsi_tom Posted November 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2015 The two times I changed them is because I overheated the engine once on my old Conquest. Second was for a rebuild on my current car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skullzaflare Posted November 9, 2015 Report Share Posted November 9, 2015 I never did a headgasket "job" on mine, I pulled the head to replace valve seals, used a new gasket to put it back on I spiked 30+ on my hx35 when the wastegate hose popped off, didn't pop the gasket (broke ringlands I found out next day, cheap aftermarket pistons) Ran 24psi daily and constantly, including towing a station wagon up a steep as mountain, that's on the billet hx40 Never overheated or popped anything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted November 15, 2015 Report Share Posted November 15, 2015 (edited) NOT A LOT OF NON IN LINE 4 CYLS Subie'S vw's and Roterys My friend just bought a 1950's Fiat with suicide doors. It's got a V4 in it! Blew my mind! Never knew there were V4's. I always laughed at the fools on craigslist listing "V4" cars for sale. Guess they are not that crazy.
