I have many different ways to go and may even upgrade to a larger turbo at some point up the road. As in all high output motors, the head gasket is a problem, but not insurmountable as one may think.. this motor is "o" ringed both on the head and deck using a copper gasket.



What you don't see is what is on the inside...

You guys are clowns.

I have some dyno news. It came out good until I ran out of injector. I had sieman212's in it for the pulls and they came up on 100% duty at 580rwhp at 19lbs boost. We started out very conservatively with 12lbs boost and worked our way up from there through a series of pulls. at 12psi it came in at 360, then bumped it up 5lbs with an actual psi of only 4lbs, to 16lbs. 4lbs boost gave me a remarkable 100+- hp. we then added another 5 and it gave us not quite 4ish psi. this time it increased hp 110+ to 580whp. we didn't have the tach hooked up so we don't know what the torque was. The target psi is 40 and then hit it with nos. eventually I will work myself upward with boost as this turbo is good to about 55-60psi, I would like to see what begins to fail at the higher boost range. the internals are sound, its the head gasket that is problematic. I will say, it revs like there's no tomorrow, cant wait to see how it sounds with 40. I know some of you will do the simple math to extrapolate hp, but it doesn't work that way.

I ordered some 500lb injectors and already started the install. I have to make a slight modification to the injector hole, and should have it up and running again soon, hopefully by weekends end. y'all take care.

times 6! the 212lb ers weren't handling it. the major reason for the large injector is i converted it over to methanol. on the 212's for one pass on dyno used about a 1 1/2 gallons, this included some idle time etc. it's thirsty for sure. I'm pretty stoked on the numbers as it's going to make the mark.

Im not sure if you posted this before, but is it still a 3.2l or did you stroke (or de-stroke) it?

I left this one alone, it's a true 3.2.

Here are some pics of the work today, the intake is fully back on after some time consuming modifications. These injectors were just a slight bit on the short side compared with the previous injectors and got creative to make up the slack. I still have to work on mounting the new fuel filter which means re-routing the fuel lines and changing the size as well. While I had it apart, I adjusted the valves again as a couple worked themselves out of adjustment and re-torqued the heads, also changed the oil and cleaned everything out as well as inspecting the spark plugs. Everything looks good under the head covers and spark plugs were fine. After I tend to the timing belt, something is eating at it and frayed the edge and needs to be changed, I think it's ready for more psi. The plan now is to tune another 400hp into it and take it to the track to size it up. After that, I'll re-evaluate things and see how much farther to go.

I'll keep you all posted as I move forward.

Next time it's on the dyno, I'll post up a vid.

I like how you nonchalantly throw out there that you plan is to "tune another 400hp into it"

If i'm thinking about this correctly, you're headed to over 300hp per liter/displacement. I never would have imagined this territory

I was wondering how much fuel pump and fuel lines you would need to feed those injectors?

It should be ok as long I keep an eye on it. Only time will tell.

Honda CBR motorcycle coils. They won't work with your stock setup as these don't have the ignitor in them like the stock coils.

There are 4 cylinders at the shop and they are putting over 250whp per hole on 2.2L motors! Although I'll never see that power per hole, it will be up there. The shop also does a lot of work on rotary motors that put a 1000 to the wheels, talk about nasty. I've come to respect the rotary as it's an amazing motor as well.

I'm using a Waterman mechanical fuel pump driven off the dry sump oil pump, attaches to the back of the oil pump. Its plenty big and will support more than this motor will ever deliver.

Here is a recent car from the shop on it's debut run at PBIR. This car is capable of running in the 6's, chassis is a rick jones piece and all other fab work is by Rosado Racing and JC Racecars.
