I would be pretty anal about the tolerances on the bearings. Since the 7m already has a long stroke, making it longer has a larger chance of spinning a bearing. I know, because of not only my engine builder warned me when i was building a 427 small block, but because my step dad has had the same...

Ok so, since my camera card is almost impossible to get, ill just post some more pics of what i have. Well, once the engine was broken in n/a I returned it to my roommate who three days later, blew the diff and drivers side axle in one shot. A buzz kill at best. So it began again...

Ive followed break-ins on 4 motors by the dumbo method upon initial startup, and the jDub method thereafter. Although, I wasnt too easy on it for the first 1500 :)

overrunning injectors can lead to inconsistency and failure. Not worth risking. Aaron once told me more than 43-45psi (vacuum line off at idle) on 370s will change the spray pattern and effect operation.

The G35 is a great car. Driven a few, and still believe they top a 350z hands down.

ford 9"? Couldnt see the irs carrying tire like that. Edit - Already know, those slicks are too wide for the irs.

Im just not liking the wheels period. Something about the cobra r wheels on other cars just doesnt look good to me. I think the hardest part would be trying to get the paint to stick to the chrome.

also, c10 is made by vp is 100 octane and is metallic compound free so its safe for o2 sensors and cats. Check out http://vpracingfuels.com/fuels_unleaded.asp The streetblaze 100 Ethanol seems to be a good mixture between turbo street and safe for cats and o2s

Aircraft fuel is equivalent to c16. Octane booster at its highest point ive seen (its supposively illegal for dot.) is only four to five points. Meaning it will raise 92 octane to 98-99 (as its advertised ive never heard any scientific reviews)

Theres unleaded race fuel all the way to 118 octane. VP sells it. LPG is usually anywhere from 120-140 octane. VP is one of the major companies that sells it and you can get a better deal. You will always make more power the lower the octane. I would suggest a pump/race mixture or meth, but...

If we dont decide to buy the gearset (its 1800) then were going rwd. Theres only so much a fwd can do in the world of traction.

Yeah, thats why we decided to run evo16g turbo wastegate 10psi, and run that at or around 250whp. Theres plenty more mods, just let me get the photos to go with them. :)

Well, I guess ive been hesitating to post this build up for a while, but here goes. Started out as a dd ford escort gt and my roommate became bored, and since I had built a couple before, I told him of what could be. EGTs come with the 90-94 1.8l miata engine factory so the high availability...

The owner of witchhunter is a buddy of mine out of bothell, wa. He does extremely good work, and has over twenty years experience with injectors including rebuilding and cleaning. Now, what i do know is they are flow tested on a bench machine, so this could be resistance to flow. So my guess...

You can always look at the selection at summitracing. All their bends are mandrel. Just dont confuse crush style benders with a true roll type mandrel. You can piece it together from there, and have it welded up.

First coat the studs around four or five times at where it meets the head with pb blaster. That stuff works wonders, as its a catalyst. Give it time to sit between each coat, and try the double nut method as its easier in a tight space with the engine in the car.

I will say -30-40* of camber will not help.

Well ij, some of us dont have $100,000 to spend on a car. So have at it. Just forget it. Anyone have any pics of chev supras?

The concept is there. The problem is the amount some of those guys go. They go way overboard to where they dont have the steering they need, it looses grip and they slide towards the wall. After looking at my tires with very little negative camber, they wore evenly during drifting.

Thats the thing. Ive heard MANY toyota engines, including the 1uz last over 300,000 miles. How many push rod engines you seen go that long? I can think of one that reached 250,000 but it also has been babied on. I would never buy a used push rod engine. Ever. Unless its getting a full rebuild...
