still, It always seemed to me like the m62 ran out of breath around 350 because of heat. Of course im talking about with an aftercooler. I guess no one goes much further into in the rsx world.

Ya most builds peak there, but with E85 and coated rotors you can make a good bit more. A guy in DE is making right around 400whp with his roots blower, I can't remember if his is CT or JR, I believe it is CT, but he has the coated rotors in the blower from the colbalt.

Interesting, seems like a lot of small extra work to make 400hp though.

It absolutely is... Supercharging becomes very much like an all motor build once you reach a certain power level, just doing lots of little things to get extra power. If I want more power I just turn up the boost :shrug:

ACL uses a standard Honda green bearing i believe. So you really can't control exact tolerances with them. Where as the Honda bearings you can measure exactly what size you need

Gotcha, I have ACL bearings in my bottom end, and I know the machine shop had to use two different sized bearings in some places to get the correct clearances.

They are more meant for racecars where the motor is torn down and rebuilt a lot. Its kind of the same concept as aluminum rods. Also to answer your question from before yes the block will be sleeved. I wont be shooting for that much power right away, but I figured while I have everything out I should just go ahead and sleeve it so I wont have to pull it later to get sleeved.

Gotcha, I was suggest to use them as I was told they hold up to forged internals better than OEM bearings, as my pistons and especially the rods are heavier than stock.

I think you do need to re-shim that area if you change out the LSD. When I was looking into shimming mine, I called a local transmission shop and they said they could check the couple measurements that I didn't have the tools for. Like a dial indicator thing for the mainshaft, like how far how it sticks... I'd have to look at the service manual again.

Lmfao ill get the video sometime soon. So pissed though.. I think my 3rd gear syncro is really crapping out on me. I just changed my tranny fluid to synchromesh and thought it would solve the problem but it still grinds going from 2nd to 3rd above 5k rpms. It doesnt pop out or anything it just grinds and goes in

Sounds like a 6-speed trans swap is needed to me........ :shady:

Trust me, your cars very smart, it only breaks the things it needs upgraded........ Like when I blasted my trans apart what broke? stock axles, open diff, 1st gear, and 2nd gear........ Nothing else broke lol. Final drive was untouched because it knew it was already upgraded and didn't need replacing. The car knew it needed stronger axles, LSD, and a stronger 1st and 2nd :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

I mean you'll still be faster with the 6-speed 4.3FD than you are now, but you can always buy the a2 trans then just sell the 4.3FD to make your money back for the 4.7FD. But only problem with the 4.7FD your gonna need more money to get a TSX 6th cause rpms be too high with the 4.7 vs 4.3 in 6th gear.

Well matters how much boost your making :rotfl:

Cause my boys car is boosted but no huge turbo kit just basic bolt on kit and he had a stock A2 tranny and we swapped it out with another A2 tranny (seller told us stock gears and quaife LSD) but it ending up having a 4.7FD and his car is faster with the 4.7FD vs the 4.3FD

How much power is he making? Because my setup is just a basic turbo kit, GT30, and I definitely prefer the 4.3, I can cross the line without having to shift into 5th at the drag strip and run more boost in every gear.

Wait so people would actually be willing to straight trade 4.3 for 4.7 FD? Because I have a spare 4.3

I mean I traded my 4.7FD for a 4.3FD + 30 bucks when I pulled the 4.7 outta the trans back in the day. I thought that was a pretty fair trade. I mean I know the 4.7 is better but is the price difference really that much between the two?? Maybe I gave that a kid a killer deal 0_o :rotfl:



EDIT: KSP has the 4.3FD for $296 and the 4.7FD for $354 so I mean straight trade isn't all that unfair of a trade...... I'm sure you could find someone.

Best thing to do is find a tranny in a car and test drive it before they pull it and your pretty much set (but most of the time thats not possible :( )

I mean you can open it up and look at the gears and syncros before you buy it is another thing, but you gotta be able to pull it apart and inspect it or have someone you know pull it apart and look at it for you.

But mostly its an iffy situation. I brought an A2 trans without opening it up before I brought it a couple weeks ago from a local guy (I knew him cause of local car meets). But he told me the trans was in perfectly running shape, stock A2 gears, and quaife LSD......... Trans was in pretty good shape and did have quaife LSD, but did not have 4.3FD, it came with 4.7FD, and 4th gear has a very slight gear whine to it...... But I mean for the price I got it at I really couldn't bitch because it was a COMPLETE steal so MEH :sigh:

thanks for the advice aLmk and PetefromtheStreets ! I got the tranny torn apart and found that the problem is that the 3-4 hub and sleeve are grinded together. The sleeve is jagged in between the teeth which is why the tranny cannot shift into 4th.

Oh, you should have seen the guy that put my new quarter panel on. Goofy ass dude with a lazy eye. I was like oh shit this isnt gunna come out good, but he did a pretty sick job. The spot welds in the trunk look better then factory. He also did a shit ton of extra work for me. This was my hood.

The hood had a ton of spots that needed to be fixed. Someone had already cleared over the gel coat. The clear was chipping, but so was the gel coat in spots. So I sanded it as much as possible and then he smoothed everything out with filler. Came out sick in my opinion and the car looks so mean in person now. Not bad for a 100$ hood!

Im a prepper/painter right now. I prep cars for my uncle, but he is teaching me to paint still. I paint most of our bumper jobs and a bunch of the easier stuff. He lets me do most of the side jobs because they are good practice. I did do a 3 stage lexus the other day that was 3/4s the car and its came out almost perfect! Had a couple pieces of dirt in it, but we buffed them out. I hoping to make the transition to full time very soon. I work 3 days a week there right now and it almost matches my full time job....fail I know.

Seeing her like that everyday for like a month was like being dumped/kicked in the balls over and over again. If adrian ever pops in he can tell you. I was majorly depressed all the time.

Right outside of Baltimore, MD. Looking through my photobucket is kinda depressing. I was on my way to being turboed and I wrecked the car and now my exterior looks great, but im not where I wanted to be performance wise.

Thats a good deal! Are you getting the whole car resprayed? If he isnt half bad I would get him to reclear the whole car after he fixes the spots needed.

I'm getting two replacement fenders for the front, a replacement vertical radiator support piece, and fixing rust spots on the roof, driver's door, both rear quarters, and having a dent on my hood pulled. I also want to have him respray the bay and the interior from the seats back
