It has the following: stock block, stock crank, Crower Sportsman rods, Diamond pistons, Esslinger aluminum Dport head ported by Boport, Boport stage 3 solid roller cam, ported/gutted lower/upper intakes, Boport header, Precision 6262 ball bearing turbo, 95lb injectors, MS2 engine mgmt, MSD 6AL2 programmable ignition box.I've been using the stock fuel lines with a trunk mount methanol injection system for a couple of years now. I am currently in the process of sumping the factory tank, installing a Fuelab 140gph pump, -8 feed and return lines, 160lb injectors and switching over to E-85. Gunning for a 9 second pass this year.If you're interested, you can see race vids of my car on YT. Just look under username turbod408 Quote Selected

Show your engine now !!!!! Reply #443 – March 08, 2014, 08:39:43 PM Thanks! That's a sweet motor combo. How come the engine shot in the car, the turbo has the hole pattern in the turbo opening, but on the engine stand it doesn't? Quote Selected

How come the engine shot in the car, the turbo has the hole pattern in the turbo opening, but on the engine stand it doesn't?The turbo on the engine stand was a journal bearing version of the 6262 with the .63 A/R turbine housing. Summer 2012, the shaft broke in the throttle body which sent a screw thru the engine destroying the turbine wheel in that turbo. It was going to cost about 3/4 of the cost of a new turbo to fix it so I junked it and bought a ball bearing version with a .82 A/R turbine housing and a antisurge compressor housing. The holes help to keep the compressor from stalling when you chop throttle while under boost. Quote Selected

Show your engine now !!!!! Reply #447 – March 19, 2014, 11:57:45 AM I was on the fence about it, but I was assured by my machine shop that if I followed their process and do so right after having the block blasted and tanked that it wouldn't be an issue. That paint is actually cured as well. I took it back to have it baked after painting so I wouldn't have to rely on engine heat to cure the paint. Quote Selected
