I have been busy working, and haven't updated this in a bit. First I got a new cylinder head, someone started porting it. All I did was smooth it out. Then i took it and my evo8 pistons to ATL custom coaters to get the combustion chambers coated in their thermal coating.
Here are another (stock) head I have for comparison.
Here are the coated pics.
Now everything for the new setup is at Ball engine and machine. They are fitting the head with my coated evo8 valves and Buschur springs/retainers. The Evo 8 pistons are being mated 6 bolt rods and arp rod cap bolts. Bottom end is then getting balanced, and block is getting a refresh hone and cleaning. I can't wait to but this thing together.
Next up is my rear end, it is almost together. Just have to make the dual rear caliper brackets , press in new bearings, and install the hubs onto the subframe.
Also, I am changing turbo setups this time. HX35 7blade, with a bolt on housing, FP manifold and a HKS external gate with screamer pipe.
The down pipe has been ceramic coated, the manifold is at the coaters now. And I am searching for a used housing before I buy a new one. Here is how it turned out.
The little bit on the end is an adapter I made so that I can run a stainless steel down pipe with an aluminum exhaust.
Lastly, I switched wheels. I was tired of running spacers on the eclipse wheels to clear my brakes. Now evo8 wheels clear the brakes just fine. I need to step down a little in tire size, but I like them overall.
