aleks77's Motor build + turbo setup build (extremely detailed)

[bruno8747]

beats doing it on the lawn lol! Good job! One question, why the h22 rods? Why not f22rods?

Its actually about price and availability. H22 Rods are more common. And since they dont make off the shelf wiseco pistons for our engines we have to go custom pistons. So When you order the custom pistons you tell them what you want and its the same price. If you want stock rod location they will do it, if you want modify location they will do it at the same price.

mad props on the progress done so far

i understand how it is to try to work on a car in an apt complex, i got threatened to get avicted for having the car on the jack (stock jack) when i was changing my springs

ALEX! Why didn't you call me...you know i've taken my engine out like 3 times! Mines going pretty good right now, minus the vacuum leak somewhere...and headgasket leak...all will be fixed as soon as my ordered 16g gets in...then it's:
New head gasket, new turbo, new IM seals, and DYNO. I sorta wanna take it on the dyno first as a baseline with the 14b.

Keep me posted and email me as i'm not on MSN much anymore. If you need any help let me know...i'll be pretty cheap labour (maybe dinner and a few drinks while we work).

Later,
Mark
