holy christ this thread sucks.
blockguards- worthless. they hold in heat, inhibit flow of coolant, and frankly, don't protect where the protection is needed. 90% of cracked sleeves START at the middle of the sleeve, where the outgoing force is the strongest, due to the rod angle as it moves the piston up from the crank's stroke. don't take my word for it. T.O.O agrees.
how come people dont pm me when these kinda questions come up.
because:
A- they don't know you
B- if they did, they probably still wouldn't PM you.
Why? here's why. you HAVE NO FUCKING CLUE WHAT YOU ARE DOING EITHER.
dont use stock LS rods b/c they cant spin past 7500 RPM. after that they are known to let go. either go with JE forged, or b16 pistons, also use JE rods or b16a rods
RODS DONT SPIN. cranks do.
RODS DONT LET GO. hell, they were never holding anything in the first place.
JE doesn't make rods.
b16 rods are the wrong fucking length in an LS bottom end. you will have .003:1 compression if you use b16 rods.
Now, for n00b number 2.
i think you should just use some low compression 8:1 JE pistons, crower rods, and non vtec cams, a block girdle and boost it to about 12 psi, you'll be see much more impressive numbers, probably around 260/190, I just can't drive a torqueless car, Just my .02
You can't drive a torqueless car??? THEN WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU SUGGESTING 8 to FUCKIGN 1 COMPRESSION??????? wave good bye to any non-boosted power or torque. Fucking dog, will spool slow as shit too.
OH yeah his motor was built by DRT in Queens NYC
Who gives a shit? I mean honestly, does your friend with a fast car have ANYTHING to do with this thread?? no.
results are not typical.
I lsot 312412 lbs off eating a pill for breakfast, a shake for lunch, and 12323 grams of fat for dinner! SO CAN YOU!
god this thread sucks.
i think u need to lay off the coffe of medication, or somthing.....seriously.
First- Does anyone here live in, or close to NYC, i can have you meet up with my friend, OR call DRT, and ask about "turbo Jay's 11 second civic, and his motor build up".
i would love to shut this guy up, is is a complete Nut case.
-------------
now before you start to flame ar say this thread sucks.....explain to me the meaning of a closed Deck Block. and then Explain why more factory turbo cars has a closed deck block.....and also tell us how these factory cars OVERHEAT all the time....
*i personally used about three different block guards, on three different DOHC VTEC motors...and never had a heat problem*
please if you dont agree, just say so.....dont have to start flaming everyone...
it only make you look bad..(i'm accutally here laughin my ass off at you)
have a nice day
