Parts are in, can't wait to get'er back together. I emailed someone about getting a chip written for the truck and I am looking for a lightning MAF and some 42# injectors.

 

very nice. I don't know if i missed anything, but did you put forged internals in??

 

The new pistons are forged and a lower compression ratio. The crank and rods should be fine with only 15psi.

 

I missed that you blew it up.

Good luck with the rebuild. Sick little truck!!

 

[QUOTE=elementsenjoi;1166665]1. Turbo 2.3s are common practice.
2. Superchargers look cooler sticking through the hood.
3. Turbo lag is ghey.
4. I like to be different.
5. Because I can.





3. Turbo lag is ghey

To eliminate turbo lag dont put an intercooler same with a sc or blower
Either way you go its still COOL

 

Then my intake temp. would be ridiculous.

Thanks for the compliment.

By the way I am pressing on the pistons tomorrow after work.

 

im suprised those squirels lasted that long

 

Pistons are in, crank is set. I am going out to torque stuff now.

 

Well, if anyone cares the motor is buttoned back up for the most part. We ported the head a little bit and got'er bolted on. Next step cutting the core support up and welding up the plumbing to the IC.

 

Nice work man.

 

in for more updates, sucks you blew up the orig but it will be even sicker now

 

sexy :)

 

It looked nice, but then you painted it green.

 

don't listen to him....he's from texas

so when are we meeting up to put this thing in my truck?

 

Thanks guys!


Haha yeah, well I wasn't really going for nice, I was going for obnoxious.

 

Dude you are a mad scientist! Congrats!

 

Thanks.

Woo pictures!















We are gonna try and work this in there.

Very cool project Chris! I think everyone here must be following this thread. Keep us posted.

 

Damn gonna be a pretty quick little ranger! Videos are needed!

 

come on!!

i want updates!!!

 

updates NOW!!

 

Well I don't have any pictures right now as we already took it back apart, but all of the plumbing is welded up. We also bought a new belt and got some more of the front accessory drive stuff back on. It's coming down to the little things now. I have to buy plugs, injectors, and a MAF still. I hate spending money. lol
