im curious what the potential problem is that needs to be researched.
How about you start with basic metallurgy... /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif I mean, where did you get the idea that it would be a good idea to use aluminum in a high-heat, high vibration application? Let me guess, you saw some guy with a 240SX "drift" car who built some crappy, pie-cut monstrosity and decided instead of being what your "screen name" suggests, you would blindly follow what some retard did because he picked it up from some other retard, who saw it done on some show car, or something dumb like that, and decided you would one-up him by building an O2 housing to "save even more weight" and earn even more boy-racer points. What's next, an aluminum turbo manifold... or how about titanium... /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/banghead.gif Have you ever wondered why nobody in any REAL racing scene uses aluminum on their race car exhaust? It's because it doesn't work for exhaust applications!!! Do yourself a favor and read this...

im glad i put steel pistons and an iron cylinder head on my motor when i rebuilt it.
This also seems like a pretty smart-ass comment from someone who is relatively new to the board, and clearly has a LOT to learn...
