thanks man i wont say it was easy choosing to go back down this road again however. Some times you gotta just get back on the horse and try again by putting your faith in the RIGHT people

 

I looked into doing that, but the heads are slighty further apart on the HR motor. you could grind and open things up to make the HR rear coolant pipe fiit, but then you also have the issue of getting hose through the timing cover opening, too. the opening is much smaller on the DE thsan the HR..........

 

Good stuff Romey, I'm glad there appears to be light at the end of the tunnel!

 

For everyone who is asking.......i will be tuning this engine with my old atari 2600 tuning data base.

 

can we play space invaders after?

 

Big props rome!!!! I cant wait until it's done bro i feel happy for you man.

Philly cheesesteaks runs back in effect ftw!!!! lol

 

Im sorry as i had to disable that function to tune your car.

 

So you shipped your car to GTM?? Just wondering who is doing the install/tune.. Thanx..

 

Matt at Perry's Auto is doing his install (Julian's former MRC business partner). He hasn't said who is doing the tune yet.

 

^ ^ Am I the only one wondering about this??? I hope Sam or George addresses this question about their non-sleeved 4.0L.

 

Thanks Rude..

 

AAM tunes F-Cons? Who is the tuner there? Clint? Mike? JT?

 

All the common .020 builds result in 96mm bores. A jump to 97mm bore should not be an issue.

Interestingly enough, the HKS VQ35 gasket is set at 97mm. I just havent seen any issues yet, with .020, or .040 in terms of cylinder wall stability, cracking, or HG failures even at 96.5mm. Another .5mm should be easily doable, IMHO.

Personally, I would take my chances with an unsleeve 97mm block, rather than a 96mm sleeved block.

 

WOW wonder why you were sellin your TT kit. Congrat rOmey

Wasnt it GTM that gave you 2 bum blocks and a defective set of cams in the first place?. I remember my brother said he had some serious hours in your car (Oliver), More than mine lol..
This could get taken the wrong way, but I was just curious..

Congratulations on the new build, its gonna be a beast

 

^ Uh oh... Not this ish again.

 

No my first block didnt lift their heads on the dyno because of GTM. And when my second motor was pulled and inspected by the third party wasnt their fault either. I havent spoken to your brother in so long tell him to text me he was a cool cat. The cams were warrentied so what more could I really ask for?

 

Hmmm... I still wonder about high boost and power above 700whp. I wish r0mey would shed some light on his power goals with this setup, but I think he is keeping that on the downlow for ZDayZ.

 

I think to this day nobody really knows what is the longevity or reliability of stock sleeves at high boost/high power (700,800,900 whp.)

You could bore the block over 97 mm. We have chosen to stop at this point so we don't compromise the structure of the block, also we have several engines over seas running this combination with out reporting any problems some of them are pure track cars, I hope they chime in.

Keep in mind the advantage of having a stroked engine is that you can get quite bit more power with less boost and it is a torque monster... it is all in the torque.

so no concerns with this set up

Sam

 

Yeah, I imagine this would be a great road race setup on low boost. I know Intense certainly pushed the envelope on the stock sleeves with their widebody G with 906whp on the dyno and multiple 700whp passes in the 1/4 mile. But that was with only a .020 overbore.

I just get the impression that r0mey is going for bigger power than his previous setup. Maybe I'm wrong. That's why I was wondering how this motor will hold up to high boost and 700+ whp.
