[BlackCobalt707]

got ya. wat do you think of using a lightweight crank pulley? i was thinkin of gettin one, but i hear crazy stuff about em

 

[05Turbo2.2]

it messes with the balance of the crank. the 1 or 2hp free'd up from a lighter crank pully isnt worth cutting your engines life span down.

cool. thanks. you still gonna run the t3/t4 turbo or goin bigger?

cool. thanks. you still gonna run the t3/t4 turbo or goin bigger?

i'm not quite sure what you guys keep saying t3/t4 as a size. any time i google t3/t4 a bolt pattern for turbo mounting shows up. the size of my turbo has been and always will be a t-60 hybrid with ceramic ball bearings

how much yours run ya?

 

[Spacey_stacey75]

Sweet, looking forward to your updates on what your doing, just picked up a 2.2 out of an 05 balt for $50, guy works at a dealership and they were going to junk it. says it just has a slight ting in the top of the motor, but when they drained the oil it was a 1 1/2 quarts overfull, so could have been to much oil. Guy just wanted a new motor.
anyway, we are going to put it on a stand and build it ......need ideas............................

lol I hope you didnt just buy a motor with rod nock.
But get new pistons and rods... then boost

 

[05Turbo2.2]

yeah, with any kind of knock at all, get pistons and rods, boost it. now if the motor was still in good condition you could just boost it at 8lbs w/ a motor mounted turbo and put out 240ish hp depending on how much CFM's the turbo was moving.

I run 10lbs on my current stock motor and make 258whp but i have a rear mounted turbo. a.k.a. STS turbo set up.

[Spacey_stacey75]

Wow, I can't wait to start on mine! So excited to build my own engine!!!!

 

[05Turbo2.2]

 

[05Turbo2.2]

The pistons and rods are in and torqued down to manual directed spec. Just need to get a degree wrench so i can torque it an additional 100 degree's as per the manual.
