We've been slowly aquiring parts, and it's just about time to start on this build..

Jesse (duesmandella) will be recieving a badass N/A, high comp QR from us.. It will feature some very trick/custom parts, including a custom built, 4-1 header, with a 3" merge collector, custom sheet metal intake manifold, and one of the first sets of our more aggresive street/strip cams. This motor will be able to turn 8000rpm safely, and should make low-mid 200's at the wheels, very easily. It's tough to guess, and I hate to do so.. but, I'm thinking a conservative 225whp minimum, on the right fuel/tune.

Anyway.. we had a small piston snafu (pistons were made for stock rod length, instead of our long rod setup), so, those are currently being remade to the correct specs. Machine work will commence shortly, and we should have some killer pics/updates here in the coming months.

Here's a rough built sheet:

Stock block
FI-R 11:1 forged pistons (setup for longer rods and larger diameter tool steel pins)
FI-R +5mm billet connecting rods
8 counterweight crankshaft
Fully ported/race prepped cylinder head
FI-R/JWT Stage 2 QR cams
FI-R high-rev spring package
Custom sheet metal intake manifold
Custom 4-1 header with true merge 3" collector and 1.75" primaries


I will keep you all posted!

dont really spend loads of time on this site but im going to subscribe to this and i will most definitely keep up to date on it

ah yes it is time

is this thing gonna cost a bunch of money to do something lie this or is it semi reasonable cause i need aq motor and ill be getting some money soon just trying to figure out what to do

Honestly it would be alot cheaper if it wasnt for the one off parts unless they start getting produced and the price goes down. 1500 of it could be easily knocked off for intake manifold, header, and cams. Throw in custom pistons and all that is what adds up. Im pretty sure Travis has listed somewheres for a regular n/a build prices

Making horsepower, N/A, is ALWAYS more expensive and less cost effective.. But, the rewards are great, as you can make decent, RELIABLE power, without any power-adder.

Travis

That and its through the whole rev band.
Im pumped about this

well if i just used the off the shelf parts that the have now could i build a good relible engine for cheap cause i have to start over i have a big hole in the block so im at ground zero and i would like to be N/A even though i would love to have a turbo motor there is just somehting to be siad about all motor powerr

finnally, i cant wait to see the final with this thing and also travis when you make his header and intake manifold would you be interested in making me one also. shot me a pm of the price and all for both and we can talk and work some stuff out, cant wait to see what your car will do jesse. you gotta figure im almost in the 12s with a stock bottom end, with a high cp bottom end and a good tune and all you should deffently be in the 12s. and thats killing it with an n/a qr25.

well after seeing your numbers with slicks at sea level man, im hoping for low 12's now lol
but you keep up the good work, if you do the same thing you'll alwyas have the better time since you have a good track to go to

thats why you gotta go to a good track and get some good times. im deffently wanting to get a new header since mine broke the other day broke my flex joint for the 4th time. then i also broke cylinder 3s primary tube right at the header flange.

awesome I've been waiting for this thread. Can't wait to see some pics.

any update on this build i know last time trav said they were waiting on right rods to come in.

Any update Travis?
I believe they sent the wrong pistons and had to remake new ones

any updates on the build?>
