dickfitzwell:
i have been doing a motor build up for the last 4 months. it should be about 500 hp to the wheels. 4 months ago i fried my rings at the track and lost compression so i decided to build a monster motor.
bottom end:
i bought a brand new in the crate ej22 closed deck legacy short block and put the phase one ej25 crank in it. the displacement is now 2.4 liters and has a piston to rod ratio or 1.668. the crank is fully balanced and i am using the rods which you see above. the pistons will be here monday and then i send them to get coated. the block is machined a certain way for extra block to head sealing, about 10 times more than o-ringing the block. i am using 11mm arp head studs.
head work:
in about two hours i have a meeting with dan paramore and we will be discussing what i am doing with my heads. most likely i will be coating the valves, and getting custom valve springs, and retainers from him. he will also be doing all of the porting and polishing and what not. as far as custom lifters and shims, i am using an outside source for them. the cams will be stock profile.
fuel:
before i was running the walbro 255 lph fuel pump but i am going to get a 310 lph pump as soon as everything else is done to the motor. i have power enterprise 800 cc injectors, vishnu rails, aeromotive fuel pressure regulator, aeromotive fuel filter, and -8 line through the entire system with -6 return lines
turbo and components:
i am using a 60-1 turbonetics turbo with a stage 5 compressor and a .58 a/r. the turbo manifold is a www.wrxtuner.com manifold with up pipe. i am custom making the up pipe to turbo adapter and i am running a tial 40 mm wastegate with a .8 bar spring. i am going to use my blitz intercool that i was using before, but i am changing all of the piping, as my intake manifold is going to be flipped. i bought sti tvg housings which will be here shortly. the down pipe and exhaust will be custom made by me out of 321 stainless.
engine management and tuner:
? i dont have a clue. i will take care of that last.
drivetrain:
either modena 5 speed dog box or sti 6 speed or something comparable that i have not seen yet. my options are still open. i will be using the exedy twin disc clutch and flywheel combo.
cooling:
pwr raditor with samco hoses.
hope this helps.
