Lol, I looked for your post but couldn't find it, but yeah, that ^

Yeah, I hear you man, waiting on other people always drives me nuts when I know I could do it sooo much faster myself. The only reason I didn't do this engine build myself was because I don't have a...

What kind of vids they looking for?

And it's done. 541 whp/430 tq at just under 18 psi.

Eh, the coater dropped the turbine housing and dented the mating surface so it had to be planed. Just reinstall the clamp and hope the leak is gone at this point.

Thanks a lot man. I do too. Hoping to have it done by the weekend but with the way things are going, it seems unlikely.

How much did you pay for that corvette? My old sohc would have smoked you bad. My current setup would embarrass you even more.

No, I'm not paying any extra but this wait is killing me. I still have yet to drive the car boosted...

Yeah, it didn't end up happening Friday. The coater dropped the turbine housing after it was coated so the mating surface wasn't true. Had to bring it to the machinist Friday afternoon to plane it...

Man that sucks.

Today is the big day. Everything is ready for the dyno. Expect to see some vids and graphs. 550 on pump is the goal. I'm excited to see how the intake temps look after the heat...

Me too!

Exhaust parts are back from the coater finally. Engine and trans are back in the car. Just some more final prep and it will be back on the dyno Friday. Shooting for 550 on pump.

Rebuild is complete. Hopefully everything will come back from the coater's early this week. Either way, it should be running and on the dyno by Friday at the latest.

You are a patient man. Why does it keep blowing?

Pimp, nice build, great numbers. Torque on a k24 is fantastic.

Yeah it's nice to have an engine with some low end.

Well, the high hopes to have it done for Halloween are shattered. Machine shop isn't done with the block and the exhaust parts still haven't...

Damn that's quick spool. What is the turbine housing size?

It's only a. 5 mm difference, my d17 was overbored that much with an OEM gasket and didn't give me any problems.

I can't tell you why exactly the ptp blanket is better but from reading reviews...

The PTP blankets are top notch and they're only $100.

The engine is out and the block is apart. The block is being overbored to 87.5mm just because the #3 cylinder is a little marred from the...

Quick update, pistons and rods are getting ordered today. While it's apart, it's getting some 50 degree type s cam gears and a hondata img. Also going to be getting manifold, turbine housing,...

No clue, haven't even driven it since boosting yet.

Any suggestions on cheapest place to get pistons and rods? I'm ordering today, looking like cp and Crower h beams with acl bearings for a touch under 1k shipped from real street.

I have a 6262 on a k24a2 and it made 484 @ 14 psi, you should have no problem making the numbers you're talking about with that amount of boost.

It was a ringland. I bought the car already swapped with kpro. The map it was running on before boost looked like it was never even tuned. I'm honestly not worried about the sleeves.

OK, here are some pics :

It actually hit 489 by the time it was all said and done. I have a few vids, I'll post them up. Thanks.
