Finally got around to starting a build thread for my engine that started the planning stage a couple months back. The engine builder is William at Exclusive Tuning here in Raleigh, NC. Some of the prices are estimates and some are firm. Any feedback, whether positive or negative is appreciated. So here goes 2 years (ETA) of learning, fun, impatience and whatever else.
Obviously this is just the engine...I will post information regarding what will be done to the drivetrain once I cross that bridge.
What is done so far: NA block has had the basic machining (resurfacing) done to it and bored over approximately .0334 for the oversized pistons which I now have.
What is currently being done. Fixing my slightly leaking headgasket which financially puts the build on hold for a month or so. :cry:
7MGTE Drift Spec Build Sheet
Exhaust System -
This is up in the air right now so any comments or suggestions would be greatly appreciated since ground clearance will most likely cause some issues. The other route were thinking is going from the twin DPs to single 4" all the way back.
($410) Dual downpipes - mandrel bent 3” stainless steel tubing with ½” flanges, flex sections and oxygen sensor/ wideband sensor bungs, segregated wastegate dump tubes exiting via separate 2 ¼”exhaust piping.
($1160) Headers - custom fabricated using stainless steel mandrel bent tubing for tandem GT30 turbo mounting. Precision port-matching to exhaust ports in cylinder head. Specially reinforced to support twin turbocharger mass.
($770) Main exhaust system - custom fabricated (using mandrel bent stainless steel) with dual (3”) tubing sections (3”) with forward mounted high flow resonators (in original converter position) dual canister rear mufflers.
Turbochargers
($3030) Twin Garrett ball bearing GT3076R’s (Possibly GT35 series)
Compressor housings fully polished with 2 ½” outlets welded on. Exhaust housings ported for quickest spool-up and best flow characteristics.
Compressor specifications: GT3076R
Intake System
($360) Intercooler piping mandrel bent 3” piping custom fitted and fully welded.
($330) Silicone reinforced 3” hose connections with t-bolt stainless steel clamps
($320) Bypass valve (Tial billet aluminum) welded in with radiused joints.
($80) Intercooler brackets welded to end tanks and plates.
($980) Intercooler custom made dual core with dual (2 ½”) inlet and single (3”) outlet end tanks.
($2400) Intake manifold custom made with Skyline type individual throttle bodies (approx. 52mm bores). Large plenum design fully ported internally and modified to eliminate coolant/egr passages, fully polished.
Short Block
($1900) Cylinder head ported (Level II) for long-duration turbocharged operation with emphasis on ultra-high exhaust flow for maximum energy available for efficient twin-turbo operation. Combustion chambers modified for reduced detonation under high cylinder pressures/ ceramic coated.
($200) Valves polished (and lightened) to resist elevated exhaust temperatures and increase rpm capability (stage II preparation).
(est. $420) Custom sized Inconel exhaust valves
(est. $680) Camshafts specially ground for tractable power curve under boost pressure/ultra-high torque output in mid range for drifting / simplified over-steering.
570hp @8000rpm and 440ft/lb @5000rpm w/ 10psi
785hp @8000rpm and 635ft/lb @5000rpm w/ 20psi
865hp @8000rpm and 725ft/lb @5000rpm w/ 25psi
(Measured at the flywheel using DYNO2000 software)
($360) Valve springs selected for resistance to valve float and increased revs.
($2300) Block fully deburred and radiused for maximum strength/ oil passages radiused and enlarged with fittings welded in for dry-sump oil feed points and machined true. 0-ring groove machined in deck. ARP 4340 alloy main studs installed in main caps. Head tapped for turbo oil feed line/ block tapped for drain. Painted inside to reduce heat soak/ facilitate oil drainage/ reduce windage and outside (for protection) with high temp paints.
($320) ARP L-19 alloy head studs (250,000psi tensile strength)
($240) Crankshaft modified for increased oil flow/ blueprinted for strength micro polished journals/ cross-drilled oil holes.
($890) Custom forged pistons with high compression (11 to 1) specs to increase off-boost response and midrange power production; full skirt/ high strength design.
($140) Piston domes fully radiused, deburred then polished and ceramic coated for even heat transfer and reduced detonation/ heat soak.
($1300) Pauter Machine X-beam connecting rods fully polished for ultimate strength, precision weight matched and balanced.
($1700) Oil pump fitted (dry sump type) for increased pressure and volume delivery. Custom aluminum oil reservoir (sump) constructed.
Fuel System
($600) Fuel pump upgraded to dual high-pressure Bosch inline pumps powered by dedicated high current circuit w/ 30amp relay.
($130) Filters upgraded to serviceable ½” (-8AN) billet aluminum.
($110) Adjustable fuel pressure regulator installed in-line w/ fuel rail.
($450) Lines upgraded to dual -8AN/ ½” aluminum feed lines plumbed in with braided stainless hoses and AN fittings throughout.
($660) Upgraded injectors sized at 1000cc
Engine Management
Microtech LT10 - Computer/ programmer $1690 - Coil packs $480
Sequential fuel injection control with boost mapping to 30psi. Individual coil ignition control with map referenced retard mapping. Rev-limit controlled with fuel and ignition cut-out. Adjustable acceleration injection tables. Ignition coils sequentially fired (high-energy Bosch)
I didn't add up all the costs for a reason.:icon_bigg
