hmmmm what about us supercharged guys.maybe we should run the ap2 crank and ap1 pistions

 

Pistons came out great. Definitely looking forward to seeing how this turns out

 

Moar pics, haha.

As you can see I buffed the shiz out of the tops, did I mention
I like shiny things








If all goes well motor should be back in the car this weekend. However I Still need a knock sensor, because mine broke when pulling the motor.
Also need to buy a new turbo, as my last one was busted up pretty bad after my motor spit the rings through the turbine.

 

Looking good man.

If you're interested, I have a custom spec'd by UR 60-1 turbo for sale. You can take a look at it in the forced induction for sale thread. Its a really nice turbo for low end tq and good peak hp. I made 581 whp and 440 tq at 25 psi.

 

Update:
Finished installing the motor tonight and took it for a test drive, it purrs like a kitten. Pulls very hard down low surprisingly enough. Or maybe I’m just used to my beater ford bronco I’ve been driving for the last 3 months, haha. Anyway I guess I need to let the motor break in before I go crazy with the boost. Hopefully, if all goes well, I can dyno once I get some miles on the car

Anybody know what the break in period should Be? I was thinking of keeping it under 6k rpm for at least 500 miles.

 

Awesome!

Yeah, 500 miles should be sufficient enough for the break in.

 

Sweet.

 

awesome, i give you alot of props for trying this out. I hope it all stays together and becomes a viable option for people that don't want insane HP.
