What about doing it like this: (Mike's G35)

 

i just fabd up some piping and we moved it so the coupler was alot smaller worked fine

 

whens the next dyno session?

 

today maybe, depends having some issues trying to get them worked out. got hot on the dyno and lost some coolant out the over flow and it sucked some air back in, had to bleed it filled it back up in the process. ran it again and it pushed coolant through the radiator where its crimped shut on the top. so trying to figure out wtf caused that.

 

turns out it did f!ck the radiator, pressurized the cooling system today and the radiator leaked like a fiend out of the top seal all along the top and the bottom.

ordered a koyo radiator that will be here next week, swapping that over and giving it a go again

 

motor is out and we are tearing into it to find out what the culprit is in the cooling system.

in the mean time
i ordered some other goodies while its apart.
Picked up some jwt 262 in 262 out cams with springs and shims.
and a pair of gt3076r .86AR snails

 

I forget are you running on the UpRev reflash still?

 

yes sir

 

Ace, were you still running the 2871s (original GTM Stage 2 .86) and what power level did you reach?

 

I've got this Haltech platinum pro already with the HR patch harness just sitting here waiting for a new home

 

ya i was up until the issue in the cooling system. they put down 670 whp and 699tq. I think theyll make 700 on a 3.5L with a bigger cam than stock but the stroker was choking them down and the stock cams were getting outflowed i think. dyno sheet got real choppy above 6k and wasnt making any more power

 

Do you think the stage 2 2871 .86 can do 700 with supporting heads/cams/fuel? No other changes?

 

itl be cutting it real close, but i think you probably could, theyre rated for 800 crank from when i talked to garret

 

so you must not be expecting sleeve issues with the additional purchases you are making.

 

Doesn't appear to be but we haven't taken the heads off. If it is sleeve issues just going to pick up a short block and bore it out and give the stock sleeves a go.

 

got the heads off today and it was the headgasket

 

What HG are you going to use this time?

 

probably the dynosty one if they offer a HR model. if not my only other option is cosworth again

 

I know this debate is still ongoing but what about just using the HR gasket? I can find the link, but there's a guy in the middle east with stroker HR that GTM built with an HR head gasket. I think he was putting down like ~900whp. I had the HR gasket in my motor I was going to use. Hopefully the guy who bought it will post up his numbers and experience with it.

 

the stock gasket? would think the thicker aftermarket ones would hold up better in any situation than stock
