I like the placement of your radiator. Seems thick and like it fit well right behind the intercooler

Anybody know if the drivers seat back and the passenger seat back are interchangeable? the only difference I see is the lumbar adjustment.

Quoting Mn92gvr4:


Engine- bottom end.
-evo 9 pistons and rods




100% sure you don't have evo 9 rods on a stock 6 bolt crank.

Engine bay looks great though! I wanted to install my intercooler in the same spot You made it work much better though.

ok. you caught me. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/worthy.gif the po said it was a dsm graveyard with 9 rods and pistons. just checked their website and its only the pistons. my bad.
thanks the install turned out to be rather simple just attached the upper bracket to the bumper mounts and welded some tabs to the radiator support.

The seat backs are shaped differently (Larger bolster on the outside of them), also the gear/teeth for the recliner would be on the wrong side.

ok. I believe I have my winter plans laid out.
1. fix the dsmgraveyard bottom end with new rods. I see a lot of people using pauter x beams or manley turbo tuff rods. also considering carillo I beams. any imput one rods would be a big help.
2. kiggly main girdle.
3. borg warner s300 turbo (still working out what specs I need to fit my needs).
4. top-mount exhaust manifold
5. acr2 spark amp
6. finish shaving the bay and minimizing wires

I am looking for 5-600hp plus. any and all input appreciated

So i just pulled the pistons and rods. Was planning on just doing rods buuuuut the pistons are pitted as f#ck. So lets replace them to. I am fairly new to the bottom end of the motor. So stock comp ratio is 8.3:1 correct? Im planning on running quite a few booostes, would there be much benifit of switching to an 8.5 or 9.0?





Somehow the cylinders are still mint

Raising the compression will always get you more power. How much pressure are you planning on running? Even on 9.0 to 1 you will have no problem running 35 psi on E85.

35 is right around what im looking for. I will be running a borgwarner s300sx 8375, which is capable of 45psi. And if i can reach that i will. Whats the rule of thumb? Higher boost lower c.r?

I like 8.5:1. That is already a touch higher than stock which is 7.8:1. I like the extra margin of error that lower compression gives you. You could throw a bunch of boost and timing to it and still be relatively safe. I would mic your bores for taper and concentricity bro especially with the condition of those slugs. At the bare minimum, a cylinder hone will be required when you fit new slugs in there. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif
