nothing. :( i have all the parts to build the motor, but haven't gotten to it yet.

nope, i misread the first post. i saw 550's and figured he said he had them already. that said........ i will change my previous answer to NO, you can't just put that turbo on. i'm sure that some people will chime in saying that the stock injectors will work, but i wouldn't risk it if it were...

he is giving it more fuel........ he has 550 injectors.

simple answer........... yes. i would at least get arp head bolts or studs. as far as the turbo goes..... i ran a 60-1 turbo with the lex/550 combo for a while. you should be fine under 12psi or so. i was running 15, but i'm a knucle head. lol

cool. thanks a lot.

so i should balance the crank-flywheel-and clutch as one? won't it be out of balance if i ever change the flywheel or clutch in the future? OR, do i balance the crank separately from the flywheel? this is all new to me. sorry for the questions

this^

anyone???? someone has to know if this needs to be done.

did you look at the threads in the hole? if the bolt isn't stripped, then the block most likely is.

it was suggested to me that i have my crank balanced with the flywheel and clutch bolted up to it. i was wondering how many of you guys have done this? is it common practice to have this done? also, what happens when you replace the clutch and or flywheel in the future? i'm only asking so...

picked up some goodies..... arp, eagle, titan, etc..... :) ordered more parts from driftmotion :) still trying out what clutch disc to order :(

good advice. i plan on hitting 400-450 wheel. i'd like a full face that can handle that much power. i was looking into act and spec, but haven't decided yet.

has anyone had experience using an aftermarket disc with a stock pp? i saw somewhere that something like an act 6sprung 6 puck works well with the stock pp.

with the car running, unplug the maf. then try to give it some revs. it should act the same as the symptoms you're describing. also, you definitely don't need a wideband on a stock car.

sounds like a maf problem. also, if that is one of those "cheap" gauges, i wouldn't put much trust in it.

i picked up some goodies from the machine shop. :) bore, honed and decked block, polished crank, gapped rings. next up is the head and rods should be here tomorrow. now to figure out what clutch to buy.

hopefully the machine shop meant .25mm under. that equals 10 thou.

well that sucks. the machine shop didn't say anything about that. why do they offer that size bearings if the crank is bad at that point?
